I don't believe the email is the trouble. Rather, for IW the website states: Are any dependents associated with your profile? Please note, to schedule an interview waiver appointment, you will need to dissociate all dependents from your profile Persons with dependents appear to be rejected.

Infiosa:


Of course, I didn't associate any dependants while scheduling the IW appointment except if it has anything to do with the appointment history on my profile which I don't think it should be a problem. Though while scheduling, it was stated that it might take a maximum of 10 business days to get back with the feedback.

Good evening house,
I have been searching for the page where hiring immigration lawyer was discussed on this thread.
Can someone help share the location of the page please. Thank you.

MakingItFair:


Yes but do you have dependents still associated from a previous application?

seanj1:


How does someone dissociate dependents - there is no option on the webpage for this.

Enishit:


No, you will have to go on the appointment date with ur passport and expired visa. If you and your family have the same date one adult can go and submit on the said date.
But most especially you will go to the DHL office to drop off your passport on your appointment date.

ferpozie:


Thanks a lot for this. So we wait for the email showing the appointment date and go to DHL in Lagos. Got an email saying approved to schedule appoint. How is the appointment scheduled, and how can one get closer dates to go to DHL? After scheduling, guess one will have emails then instantly, right?

Enishit:

You will log into your account then continue am not sure u can get a nearer date I just did for someone tonite the earliest is May 3. I guess there are loads of demands and note if u book the appointment you can not change the dates again.

Wow congrats! you people were lucky oh, as in because your sister went on study visa and remained there after school, that sort of thing sounds like something they will use and deny someone. God just wanted to giv you guys visa. Hav a good trip!

mobileflp:
We got our visas! All Glory to God. A big thanks to everyone who was always dropping hints on getting dates and also their transcript. I originally applied early last Year and eventually got interview date of February this Year. Few days to our interview in february, they rescheduled to October. So we had our interview on the 7th October. I have been to the USA about five times but my husband has never travelled out of Nigeria

Interview time - 9:45am
Arrived - 7:30am
Venue - Lagos

It was one tall guy at the second window that attended to us.

Husband and I - Good morning
VO - Good morning
VO - Your Passports
Me- I gave him both
VO - I can see you have been to the USA a couple of times
Me - Yes please
VO -What were you doing when you travelled
Me-Vacation
VO- What do you do?
Me- Told him.
VO- Where exactly is your office?
Me- Told him
VO- How many branches do you have?
ME - Told him and I support all of them
VO- Who are you staying with at the US?
ME - My sister
VO- What does she do?
ME - She went for her masters about 3 years ago at XXXXX school and she currently works at the school.
VO- When did you guys get married?
ME- Told him
VO- Any kids?
Me - None
VO- I can see you travelled before you got married
ME- Yes
VO- Faced my husband. What do you do?
Hubby- Told him
VO- How much do you make?
Hubby- A profit of about XXXXX.
VO- But you wrote a salary that is less than 10% of what you mentioned
Me- Yes that is the salary he pays himself. the profit is different
VO- What kind of Bleep business delivers such huge profit
ME- He submits proposals to corporate organisations, different institutions, has top clients and has X number of branches with X number of employees
VO- So monthly, how much does he have in his account?
ME- Well between Bleep and Bleep
VO- He typed oooooo. Then he asked me. How much is your monthly salary?
ME- Told him
VO- When did you Sister get to the United States?
ME- I think about 3 or 4 years but I am not sure of the exact date
VO- He was just typing.....Can I see your marriage certificate
Me- Gave him.
Me -Also brought out a small album and asked if I could show him
VO- He said never mind
After a few seconds
VO - Gave me a white paper. Please pick up your passport between 3 and 5 working days


They actually denied a lot of people whether old or young so there is no formula. May God favour everyone.

Ojoboak:
The person will physically drop the passport at the DHL office at the given date and time.

specialenvoy:
Thanks, what if the person is unable to go physically? can the date of the appointment be changed or what can be done?

ferpozie:

Ok, so just to log in, click continue and follow, the prompt. Do you get an email immediately after the appointment letter? Is it likely for family members doing separately to get the same date? What if the date s after the planned date of the visit, must one visit that place, or can one visit another place? Sent you a DM on nairaland. Please share your number there. Thanks.

Good evening,

I am trying to assist my mum with the visa renewal via dropbox and I'm lost.
Her previous visa expired September 2019. In February of 2022, she submitted a new application and interview date is October 2023.
Where the confusion lies;
1. Does she need to pay another visa fee (payment for current application was done November 2021)
2. Does she need to cancel the previous application (DS-160 and all)

I have read the pages back but could not find answers to my question, I would be grateful if someone could answer or point me to the right page to read up.

Thank you

Enishit:

Hello no she does not need to fill another form since it's submitted already and doesn't need to pay.
So what you need to do is to cancel the October appointment and go ahead and book for the IW.

Enishit:

As far as I know you have to submit physically except you are submitting on behalf of minors.
Once booked u can't change.
So let me give you a scenario my friend passport is still with British Embassy even though she got a successful letter on the 18th of November but yet to receive her passport as at now,so she sent a mail out to the US embassy and was told that she have to wait for the date of her appointment to pass and that will be a case of no show and her receipt will be release automatically after 48 hours which then she can book the appointment again.

Newbiein2016:
Yes. It was extended to cover 48months so even if your last visa expired around Dec 2018, you should be eligible.

However do note that you must have paid your visa fees by May 2022 to enjoy the interview waiver service.

A few people have opined that they were able to get dates and confirmation even with MRV receipts made after this time so feel free to confirm this when you're scheduling your date.

I’ve done that it’s still same issue. I can even get passed the first page to select location. I choose Lagos Nigeria and it reloads and kicks me out. Sometimes it just doesn’t bring the list of countries/locations for me to choose from so I’m stuck.

It’s been same way since last night.�

seanj1:
I just got an email to schedule my drop-off appointment at the Abuja consulate. My question is can someone submit my passport on my behalf?

seyewest:

I paid my visa fees on 25th Nov, got Dropbox submission date first week in December and visa issued within a week of submission.
