I agree with you on sending an email to LagosNIV@state.gov.

I did an email to the US Embassy for my dad’s passport which was issued on March 16th and just got a response that it’s been returned to DHL since March 17. It appears the DHL guys are sloppy (like someone said earlier) or overwhelmed. I will be visiting them tomorrow.

Hi everyone,

So I applied for the renewal of my B1/B2 visa and was initially refused after I was scheduled for an interview. I reapplied again after a few days and I explained some of the things I did not mention in my previous application such as owning a registered business, properties and being a professional. I included my business registration documents, property documents, corporate bank account and a cover letter from the bank to prove that I am the only signatory to the said account in addition to a 2-page cover letter explaining my circumstances and links to CAC and NBA's websites to confirm the existence of my business and my membership of the legal profession. I also included 7 family pictures, all printed on an A4 paper when I mailed over the documents to the US consulate. I checked this afternoon and saw "Refused" on the status and it was updated today. I also saw this on that page:

"A U.S. consular officer has adjudicated and refused your visa application. Please follow any instructions provided by the consular officer. If you were informed by the consular officer that your case was refused for administrative processing, your case will remain refused while undergoing such processing. You will receive another adjudication once such processing is complete. Please be advised that the processing time varies and that you will be contacted if additional information is needed. For more information, please visit TRAVEL.STATE.GOV or the website for the Embassy or Consulate at which you made your visa application".

Does it mean one could be refused and still be called for an interview to clarify certain things or one could be refused pending verification of some of the supporting documents I submitted? Thanks in anticipation.

Hello flourishing247,

Thanks for the response, but the link you sent was not coming up with any page.

I have no issues with sticking with rules, but the issue now is, how does one get access into the Telegram group?

If the Admin of this Telegram group(s) can kindly respond here as to their willingness to accept new members, that will be nice. At least, this way people quit literally pleading to join the group, without responses with the actual links.

Once again, @flourishing247, thanks for your response, much appreciated!

UPDATE!!!
I just joined one...hope it is the right one!

Cheers!

Good morning everyone, I want to appreciate everyone for your contributions on this page. I was a silent reader, I started following this page from the beginning and I learnt so much from here, this is the reason I came back to make my own contribution.

I had my interview section for B1B2 yesterday in Abuja with a virgin passport, never traveled, not even to Ghana and I was issued a Visa. I want to encourage those with a virgin passport to never give up.
I did everything MYSELF, from filling my DS-160, paying the Visa fee and booking for an appointment, never involved any agent.

My transcript below ;
When we got to the open space before the interview room, a Nigerian lady checked our passports, got to me and this happened.

Lady: Can I have your passport ?
Me: I gave it to her, she opened it.
Lady: Can I have your old passport?
Me: *confused* I don’t have it here, I didn’t know I was supposed to come with it.
Lady: Got very angry and said: how do I know your information is not fake, if you had filled your form yourself, you would have known you were supposed to come with your old passport, you are not ready for this interview.
Me1st timer who only got her information from nairaland) people of God, I started sweating and told her I filled the form myself and I am ready, I am sorry.
Lady: It is not about being sorry, i am doing my job, did you travel with it?
Me: No I didn’t.
Lady : how am I sure you are telling the truth, you are not ready and she went to the next person.
I started begging my heart not to leave my body, I calmed down and went for the interview.

So, thank you again, may God grant us all our heart desire.

Hi everyone,

I just tracked my application and it says I was refused. I've never overstayed and I applied for IW. I also haven't received an email from them. I have a valid UK visa and I have also travelled to the UK. Attached is the screenshot. Any advice would be helpful.

She didn’t asked me for anything document, so I didn’t even open my bulky folder I went with.

So many students (F1) were given, a lot of people were denied also, especially people going for visiting.

So, thank you again, may God grant us all our heart desire.
