Hi codemaster2much. The Embassy/Consulate are closed on weekends. During periods of high demand, we will sometimes schedule appointments on Saturdays.

Dear Vo,

I applied for Dropbox Renewal on 9th October with my boss, his passport been returned successfully with visa and mine is yet to come, have written mails the embassy and no one is ready to give reason why my passport is held this long and we have a conference to attend this Nov.

However my last visa was b1/b2 which I have used once Dec 2015, I used same visa for birthing Aug 2016 notifying both the Lagos and Abuja my intent for birthing. Declared at point of entry and was checked and advised to pay all bills as still was mentioned in both letters from Lagos and Abuja. I came back with all my zero balance receipt.

My passport has long overdue with no notification of delay.

Kindly advice the next step to follow.

Thanks.

Hello Awesome85 -

Your mother should tell the truth. We take any misrepresentation in a visa application seriously, but especially when it relates to a claimed family relationship. Your mother should not claim that her grand-daughter is her daughter lest she be viewed as a child smuggler.

Hello VO,
Please i have a constraint.My Hubby and I have been asked to schedule a follow up appointment post our drop box application.I went to my account and scheduled an appointment.That earliest date i saw was December 6th which i booked. We really would like to reschedule our appointment to an earlier date. My hubby can see from his profile "Next available appointment date" as November 7th.What is the guarantee that if we cancel my current appointment of Dec 6th and we book with my hubby's profile we would get an earlier date? and we do not need to pay the MRV fees again?

Hello jenny216. You may apply again whenever you like. However, if nothing has changed since the last interview, the result will likely be the same.

Hello priscai. It is likely you were called for a follow-up interview. In these cases, we use your e-mail and telephone number that you included in your application. If those details are not current, then it's impossible for us to contact you. Also, the act of "notifying" the Embassy/Consulate of a change in travel purpose is not a valid procedure. The only communication that matters and that we make record of is what you say in your applications and in person at the Embassy/Consulate and port of entry.

Hello JECU. I presume you mean to deliver a child. Medical and birth tourism is legal, provided the applicant is open about their intention at the Embassy/Consulate and port of entry and that they pay their bills in full.

JECU:
Pls help.can I use my visiting visa to go for delivery.

Hi wolebs0007. All applicants must have their own application and have paid the visa fee.

Sir,

My information on contact remains same and has never changed. However, I was able to get the consular through phone and was directed to check the visa application status using ceac, checked with Application ID information said ISSUED last update 19th October still no response on return or notification.

Kindly update with mentioned ISSUED status.
Thanks.
