You need to read a bit on how the US runs its visa policy and processes.

Sponsor you as what? That will determine what visa category you can apply for.

I have been a silent reader, I wish to share my own interview transcript at Abuja embassy.
I went with my aunt and her husband who is in his 80s. We planned to attend my cousins graduation last year but because of delay with appointment we couldn't.
Vo have you been to America? My uncle several times, me NO.
VO to me are you married my response was not yet.
VO how long do you want to stay. My uncle response as long as I want reason that he is retired. My aunt 1 month. My response was I want to use my annual leave to spend 2 weeks. VO started typing up and down and there was silence.
VO to me why have you never travelled? I smiled and said I have never been opportuned that is why I want to visit this time.
VO what do you do? I work as a branch manager to a bank.
VO to my uncle how long have I lived with them he responded over 18 years.
VO brought out a white paper and collected our passport. I just collected our passports from DHL this night.
Just to raise some hopes, I'm in my early 30s, single and have never visited any country. I got US visa at my 1st application.

A journey that began on 23rd March, has finally ended.
I was refused and asked to come in on any Thursday for a follow up interview
I got there and was told to submit fingerprints.

Hello Nairalanders,

For a person with dual citizenship, ...naija and one of the islands in the south pacific that is not visa free to US.
- Is it possible to go for interview in Nigeria and get a 10 year visa on the other passport, instead of the Nigerian pport that they issue 2 years visa....prefers a 10 years visa than the 2 years

Berylstanz:
Hi, thanks for sharing your experience. My parents were asked to schedule a follow up interview and received the letter below. I just want to know if you received the same, because they are not sure if they are meant to go into the embassy or go the dhl and resubmit…because on the new interview info the address is showing the dhl office..thanks for your response

Christabeliciou:
My questions are below please.

Going for Vacation is it not a valid reason?

You are sponsoring your trip yourself, is it not a valid reason?

Returning back to your work place, and to your children and husband is it not a valid reason?

What other valid reason again.

Thanks

lol all the above are valid reasons...but trust me VO will not consider that a valid reason for nigerians

UmmZayd:


Was the reschedule successful and you were able to print out a new appointment letter?

Somandla:
I don't know if this might help someone out there.

I am South African, our IW started in Nov after travel ban was lifted.

I called call the embassy call center, told them I qualify for IW but can't schedule app as it showed no appointments, they then asked for my Ds160, and asked me to log in , upon logging in there was a page with 3 qualifying questions
E.g
1. has your visa expired in Less than 48months? ( bear in mind our visa validity is 10yrs)

2. Did you capture biometrics at the embassy?

3. Are you applying under the same vis a category?

That's how I was able to get IW letter and scheduled DHL drop off & pick up.

So contact your embassy�

Kween2014:
My appointment was for 8am this morning. Got here 7:35 and I’m done . It was easy peasy. You get into that first check point area where there are lots of chairs and they check your old visa, receipt, appointment confirmation and Ds 160 confirmation page. They collect your passport or passports and your passport photo only and tell you have a nice day. That’s all.

Pilot4Airbus:


Next available date is February 2023, I was able to land October 2022 after checking for 2weeks.

Still actively checking so I can get an earlier date.
