You can fill a new one. Then change the form details on your profile. If you can search this forum some people have done it before and it worked. Just use keywords and type in the search column. The info will pop up. Don't panic everything will work out fine.

Hey !

You cannot edit an already (finally submitted) DS 160. You can only retrieve an ongoing DS 160 within 30 days period.

That being said ... You can fill DS 160 as many time as you want , therefore , go ahead and fill a new one .

But you have to update the new DS 160 in your CGI profile.

No ! You will not lose your present interview appointment date . That one is intact .

There is God. Don't give up.

Hi guys,
I am currently about to start my NYSC and my interview date is February. I plan on visiting for 2 weeks.
Does me currently doing NYSC boost my chances as that’s a tie back to home and enough motive to come back or does it deter it ?


Hey !

Awaiting NYSC is a tie out of many ties but it's A BAD TIE .

Many have abadonned NYSC and stay put in the USA. Many later return home to finish it or opt for an exemption letter ..bla bla bla etc.

However , awaiting NYSC in Nigeria together with other home ties if you plan yourself well can give you edge.

The point is you have started already and you have to go. Just be positive , be brave and explain yourself very well to the VO.


There is God....Don't give up.

Hey !

I like your honesty . But nevertheless i will not support entering America via illegal means . But let me clarify to you that the US embassy is still granting visa to anyone going for conference IF THE PERSON SATISFIED THE REQUIREMENTS.

2. If you got your visa to attend the conference and you board a plane and land in America then YOU HAVE NOT ENTERED AMERICA ILLEGALLY. or YOU DID NOT ENTER AMERICA ILLEGALLY because the US embassy gives you visa and you board a plane to enter their country. Therefore, they have your bio-data.

3. Those who entered the US illegally are those who crossed borders from Mexico, Canada etc or those who came via boat or ship from the Carribbean. They do not have any documented BIO DATA in the US database.

I always listen to positive advice because some people will make things looks like you WANT TO GO TO THE MOON

Don't apply for a Visit Visa and plan to "convert" to study while Stateside.
Apply to Community Colleges from Nigeria, the fees are cheaper and sometimes easier to get placement than full fledged universities. You'd still go for interview like you would for B1/B2.
The programs are also flexible. You also get SSN and EAD for 20hr/week to work legally. What you do with your other hours is anyone's guess. Just make sure you have your minimum course units. Avoid hybrid programs.
The hurdle to cross will be when your program is done, what next? That's what applicants are not being told when they hoodwink them to go study route. The only option is sham marriage. Jobs are not guaranteed, without which you'd be out of status.

Please note that some visas come with conditions. You can only use it for the purpose you applied for. Entering US and deciding to stay back without adequate documentation will lead to a life of misery. Don't let anyone decieve you. Apply to colleges from Nigeria. Pick good courses and have a good reason for going to study in the US. I wish you all the best.

Hey !

In B1/B2 (visit visa) you do not have to stick to a particular situation (ie like a student visa ..even student do change school). The reason the VO gave you the visa was not because you were going to Lake Wales 😊. You got the visa because the VO sees you as a competent person who can go on holiday in the United States.

In this respect , you can travel to the US even if your present visa remain 1 year .

Now ..you have done the needful by booking an hotel as well as your return ticket . The only thing you can add as your final shield at the entry point is your PTA or availability of fund which will cover all your expenses during your Xmas holiday.

You are good to go.

No need to apologise. Anyone can answer your questions.
Can the applicant really sponsor himself? Does he have enough funds for the holiday and also extra in his account? Does he have ties that will bring him back to Nigeria if he is issued a visa. Is he applying for visit/ japa? If japa is on his mind then he should apply for student visa.

Hey !

It is okay but it will look suspicious. I want to think that the applicant is also single and with no prior travel experience ?

Americans (US embassy) over the years knows more about Nigerians . They know our freedom (out of parent or family control) years, they know the age bracket we go for Bsc , MSc and PhD . They are familiar with Nigerian youths who are doing very well financially who still sticks to their families untill after marriage because Nigerians are family orientated people.

In this respect , the girl of 20 year old just passed teenage years and no matter how rich she is , the embassy still expect her to be under parent or guardian . Except in a very special circumstances.

Let her apply under parents , immediate elder brother or sister or from her place of work. If she is married she can use her hubby as her sponsor .

Hey !


The possibility is bright if you plan everything well with genuine and honest intention. Be certain that what you indicated on your DS 1 60s is what you will be telling the VO on that day .

You have to also train the adult kids some possible question and answer scripts .

Your ties back to Nigeria is also VERY VERY important ....Your TIES back home is your business , kids school , husband property, etc .

Finally , you will be the one to convince the VO the most .

1. Tell him or her why the kids needs to see their dads ..

2. Tell him or her why it's not easy for you living alone without hubby for the past one year ....it can be in the form of a joke IF YOUR VO is a female like you

3. Tell him or her why you must come back to Nigeria because of your business ... Because the kids are on government or church or mosque scholarship s and they must be back to their studies ...etc .

4. Tell the adult kids to keep on same track ...I have missed my dad , i need to see daddy !!😊

5. The youngest kid can be the actor or actress by saying with happy mood ...daddy daddy..I want daddy !!!

There is God...don't give up.

No one can give you a definite answer to this question as each applicant’s circumstance and interview experience varies and can sometimes vary significantly. I know folks who have been given an F2 visa and others who have been denied an F2 visa. Although U.S. consular officers are notoriously known for not checking applicants’ documents, you may want to go with your husband’s current I-20, copy of his F1 visa, proof of current enrollment, transcripts, apartment lease, TA/GA/RA appointment letter, paystub if he has a TA/GA/RA, biweekly stipend if he is on a scholarship/fellowship, your husband’s bank statement, your bank statement, and proof of your marriage. Any other document that you have to prove your home ties is also a plus. Better to have the documents and not need them than to need them and not have them!

How long does your husband have left to complete his program? I ask because if your husband is in an MSc program and has already completed a year, he probably has a year or less left to complete his program (minus OPT) so be prepared to respond if the consular officer asks you why it has taken you at least a year to apply to join your husband and why you want to go now when your husband might have approximately a year left before he completes his program. Good luck!
