Hello guys!!!please am new here, I want to ask some questions. I applied for F1 visa..My DS 160 code is different from the interview own after scheduling interview. Hope it won't affect me on my interview day? 2. My parents and siblings av been in US for years now, how will I convince them of my return to Nigeria. I really dnt av any strong ties I can hold on to. Please I need your advise. I applied 2x before and have been denied due to no strong ties here.

Are they there legally or illegally.... if no papers then that a hard wall to climb if the topic comes up

WRONG THREAD, please forgive me.
How much is the US B1/B2 visa fee now and is it true there is a fee you'd have to pay to pick up the passport after Visa has been issued?

Bro its actually a problem. A passport photograph isn't mandatory but you have to make sure your photo is uploaded on your ds-160.

Thank you but how can i upload the photo to my DS-160 now?

Leyemoshood:


Thank you but how can i upload the photo to my DS-160 now?

As you have already submitted it I don't think you can edit it, you can fill another one, then go change the ds-160 confirmation number in visa application profile. pls make sure a photo is uploaded

I know your DS 160 code must be the same with your appointment letter code. Go to the appointment page to update your profile, and then re-print, if you don't want to be sent back. As regard home ties, let the elders help out...

Tamison:

Thank God

I want to say a very big thank you to God Almighty for making this dream a reality and also the admins of this group (dreambig_USA), ashiwaju, ufakos, going through my visa transcript and also the wonderful mock interviews and the ginger and words of encouragement after the first denial.

Special thanks to kenkool (he hand me over to victor), jude, wahab and Victor (he is always ready to help, even went ahead to approach some profs in the department to give me GA, he never get tired of my disturbance,and always checking on me before the second interview with lots of encouragement...bro you are simply wonderful ).

Also nairaland family (texrem, fairheart, lagosismyhome, gunther and many others that i cant mention), walspring (thanks for helping with the sevis payment) Thank you very much.

yeen what I’m I going to do now

If you are coming or you know anyone coming to Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, you can contact me for orientation before leaving Naija. I faced a few set of challenges which I do not want anyone coming from home to also face. That is my personal give back to this community.

Thanks to @Lagosismyhome and some other colleagues that were resourceful when I needed help. There is a lot of works more than one can be so much available here, but I do not want anyone to have issues on landing in Oxford, Ohio.

Caveat: Please, make sure you already have the visa approved before contacting me, I am so fixed that I won't be able to attend to so many enquiries.

We have so many people here that could still help, I also did a little back then and I have a click of friends that I made from this room.

God Bless Nigeria,
God Bless USA.

It depends on how you want to fly, You can check with travel start every Tuesdays or so Cabo Verde "a new airline in Nigeria" from cape Verde, they fly to Boston, from there you can get tickets to wherever you are going...Last I saw, it was 163k Nigeria to Cape Verde to Boston

Lagos hasn’t opened early dates for December and it’s not possible to reschedule to abuja after booking an appointment with lagos. Please anyone who gets to reschedule appointment from January to December kindly pass the information so some of us here can join (I’ll do the same too).
