They might not ask to see any of the documents you’re taking with you but just to stay prepared! Take both statements with you!

And since none of the documents will be retained,you can go with originals or photocopies! I’d advice the originals! Good luck & post your transcript after the interview!
My appointment confirmation page is carrying my email address, is it okay? Thanks man

You mean like you printed the whole screen and your email is hanging at the top? If yes then it’s ok! Shouldn’t be an issue!

Morning guys.

My interview is on Wednesday.
Please i just want to ask:

1. Regarding the Reciprocal fee, can i pay using my card on that day, if the visa is approved or its strictly cash.

2. There is mistake of one letter on my name on the appointment letter, but the DS160 is correct and the code is the same with the one on the appointment letter.. Hope i won't be sent back?


No need to worry about the letter, they may not even check it.

Hi guys..

Pls quick one.

1. I know phone and other electronics are not allowed during the interview or at the venue, but is there a safe box to keep them, because I'm coming from ogun state to the venue and it won't make any sense going that far without holding an handset.

2..How much is the reciprocal fee( in naira) again, Can i pay with POS using my debit card or its only cash.

3. This sounds funny but its wrist watch allowed.

It seems this matter is not being put to rest so I'm going to quote the following from the doc I linked in my post from the previous page:

"Consular officers use the Consular Consolidated Database (CCD), a biometric and biographic database, to screen all visa applicants. Over 143 million records of visa applications are now automated in the CCD, with some records dating back to the mid-1990s. Since February 2001, the CCD has stored photographs of all visa applicants in electronic form; since 2007, the CCD has begun storing 10-finger scans. The number of visa cases in the CCD surpassed 100 million in 2009, including 75 million photographs."

"In addition to indicating the outcome of any prior visa application of the alien in the CCD and comments by consular officers, the system links with other databases to flag problems that may have an impact on the issuance of the visa. These databases linked with the CCD include DHS’s Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) results, and supporting documents."

Hope this topic can be finally put to rest and people can move on.

Don't you think this however can be done right at the point leading up to the interview as your profile is pulled up and during the interview? The major check I believe is done after visa approval during interview before the visa sticker itself gets affixed to your passport.

I did submit a DS160 form in the early hours of the interview date, it did pull through successfully, I have seen other similar late submissions too. I wonder then at what point this almighty background check was done on the application. I think the background check thing is overrated and maybe "exaggerated" at different levels.

VOs here and on other platforms have said the thought in our heads of that "major background check" that happens before interviews is almost as good as BS, there's already in the system some sort of software or whatever that may be called to run a check on you with on the needed areas once your profile is pulled up for interview. The IT geeks and those savvy in this field can help out further, but this is what it is....

Whew! Still doing catchup on my most loved thread on NL, will be done soon. I see all the many roforofo, walahi, "kolo" full this thread "aswearit down"! Page 171 now, 11 more pages to go....

1. No safe box. You either leave your phone at home or in the car.

2. Reciprocity fee is 40,700. Only cash is accepted

3. Wrist watches are allowed but not digital watches (e.g iwatch)

Like,what's with the cash,I don't get it? They could easily set up another procedure with GTB,Once your visa has been issued,you go to GTB and pay the Reciprocity fee,Go to the collection center with your payment slip...without the slip,you can't collect your visa! Very simple!

The reason why they are requesting for cash is because they don't even want to pay any bank charges ontop that ₦40,700. That's why they want CASH. Plus they don't want any additional stress,reason why you have to co.e with exact amount or you wait for hours for your change and YOU MUST COLLECT IT.
