Wumi261:


Good morning @NewBoy... Please, I need your advice, I am searching for an appointment date for Spring 2024 intake and I am running out of time. Should o choose the one available and opt for emergency date afterwards?

NewBoyKhashoggi:



Hey 🤠

1. Yes , the travel passport validity rule is 6-Months , therefore they won't allow Mama in.

2. Why not Reschedule her appointment and allow Mama to enjoy Xmas and New Year in Nigeria ?

3. If Mama must attend by ALL MEANS then go back to passport office and explain to them, she will get her passport before then but na pocket ooooo 😊



Best Wishes 🙏

Good morning sir I'd like to have a conversation with you regarding few things but I'm clueless on how to contact u

Debbieeeeeee:

Fill another ds-160 and input location as Abuja Nigeria so as to match with your Abuja appointment date on your CGI profile , call customer service to update your appointment profile with the new ds-160 confirmation number.
Since this issue has never come up on this thread to the best of my knowledge and on a lighter note you can try to attend the interview like that and feed us back on the outcome at least it’ll be a precedent
Please don’t take this advice because dates are scarce.

Hey 🤠


Yes your questions has not only been treated before , it has been treated several times. If it has not been treated before HOW WILL ANYONE KNOWS THE ANSWER ?


1. You have received COMMON ANSWER which is 10 + 10 = 20 . Let me give you another permutation that is 15 + 5 = 20.

2. Fill another DS 160 and pick Abuja as your new location , after that . Call the CGI as usual but IF YOU DO NOT HAVE CALL CARD OR YOUR PHONE GOT LOST or CGI HELP LINE IS NOT CONNECTING .....

3. Log into your CGI profile , click on Update profile , input your new DS 160 confirmation number in the appropriate place and click save . After 2 days (48hrs) . Log in back into your CGI profile and print out another visa appointment letter which will display your new DS 160.

4. Even , if you call the CGI helpline , they will still ask you to log into your CGI profile and print another visa appointment letter because your appointment letter MUST DISPLAY the confirmation number of the NEW DS 160 you are taking to the embassy .

Bro you should always fear God concerning what you will say about other people publicly

I always know and believe there is always way to appeal for many European countries under Schengen zone and was also thinking same applies to other countries

Have I ever scammed you or anyone that you've known before so why just all of a sudden call me scammer.



No one knows it all , you are only supposed to correct me na













@AbubakarOlat.
The reason for his comment is you sound like one of the contributors with little knowledge of the topic or a scammer. If your area of specialization is Shenghen and UK Visa while not stick to it instead of advising wrongly on the US platform without any meaningful research about the subject of discussion. You are not a scammer though but you are not adequately informed about the US Visa. Moreover you are using the opportunity to promote your private business which is against the rules of engagement on the platform. Will you refund the money paid to you if their call for visa appeals were rejected or you keep making money from their Ignorant because some readers will keep contacting you for their US visa refusal appeals if not for the disclaimer from some of the contributors here . It is for your good to be careful of your comments else your opinions might not be valid here again.

Have it in mind that even if your parents are able to receive their 5-years tourist visas, they are only allowed to stay in the United States for a maximum of six months at a time.


WHAT YOU WILL PROVIDE TO YOUR PARENTS
==============


1. Strong emotional , and reasonable Invitation Letter .

2. The letter should have the names of your parents and their relationship with you.

3. The letter should state the Purpose of their visit like tourism, graduation ceremony, wedding , etc.

4. The letter should include dates of their stay with the approximate length of visit.

5. Attach Scanned copy of your Identity card or Passport.

6. Attach your evidence of means of financial subsistence.

7. Attach your Proof of homeownership or rental contracts.

8. Attach an itinerary of the planned visit (optional).

9. Attach documentation of your time off from work for their visit.

PS:. YOU CAN DHL THE ABOVE in order to look authentic and original . Use your handwriting in the letter and date sign (optional).

Hi everyone,

I want to renew my mum’s B1/B2 US visa. Her current B1/B2 visa expires soon so she qualifies for IW. I would like to know how long it takes to get an IW date after her application is submitted. Does anyone have any idea based on their own experience? Thanks!

Shanid:

Thank you so much, I appreciate you. Is it necessary for them to show bank statement if I will be responsible for all expenses.

If this is your first attempt , yes chose any date you see first and keep looking out for Reschedule option opportunity or apply for the emergency appointment straight away ..BUT YOU MUST HAVE YOUR SEVIS PAYMENT receipt and Form 120 handy . They should grant your request as a first timer .


2. If you have applied before , still chose any date you see and keep using your Reschedule option till you see any date in the year 2024...DO NOT USE YOUR EMERGENCY OPTION YET ( as a 2nd timer)... If you do not see your favourable date by the 1st week of January then defer your enrollment and request for another Form I 20 against fall 2024. You will still have the emergency option in your CGI to use for your fall 2024 entry .

3. In all, doing everything appropriately is the best solution .

thank you so much for your response this is my first attempt and i am going as a visitor/tourist i have choose the first date in 2025 as u suggested and i will keep using the reschedule option hopefully .but pls as a visitor can i also use the emergency appointment or is this only for students ?thank you

NewBoyKhashoggi:

thank you so much so sorry for stressing you ,i am just going for visit/tourist my friend wanted to send me an invite just to visit him and his family and he has stated it in the online form. thank you once again ..GOD bless you


Hey 🤠


I am awfully sorry !! I thought i was responding in the Study Visa section ....Thank God for your feed back . Sorry again for the Mix Up 🙄


1. All the same, the procedure to schedule any US Visa Appointment nowadays is a mathematical policy ( same thing ). But to qualify for an emergency Appointment , you must fall under STUDY , MEDICAL and BUSINESS .

2. Yours fall under BUSINESS & PLEASURE but what you are going for must be very very important and that importancy must be displayed in your invitation letter which you will use to request for your Emergency Appointment .

3. As a Visitor , you can request for your emergency Appointment up to 3 months before your planned travel . But once again , if you are visiting someone or attending a conference or wedding or any ceremony , the people or organisation you re visiting must write a CONVINCING INVITATION LETTER to you .

4. B1/B2 Emergency Visa appointment under Business and pleasure ( like yours ) is kind of harder to get .... Unlike B1/B2 under Medical or F1 Study visa . But it is achievable if you follow the normal norms .


If i know what you are going for and your planned date of travel, then i may give further insight .



Best Wishes 🙏

Good morning my good ppl
Pls how do I do POF Prove of founds for family visiting.
Is it under most I most provide it?

ND my in-law that am visiting ll he write befor I apply or after I apply thank u all

NewBoyKhashoggi:



Hey 🤠


1. How to do Proof of Funds as a visitor going to the United States with his family is to show a bank statement in your name or your sponsor's name showing balance of account .

2. Yes, it is under a must for you to show or proof beyond reasonable doubts to the Consular officer that you or your sponsor have more than enough money to spend in the United States during your short visit .

3. Your in-law that you are visiting must write an INVITATION LETTER to you . That invitation letter is what you will tender to the US embassy or the Consular officer as evidence of the fact that your in-law is the one who invited you over for a short holiday . The Invitation letter should be the first thing to have in your hand before other process . Some may say it's optional but to me the letter is important .

HALLO !

@Opeyemi007. Are you working in the US embassy or how do you know or what makes you think that they won't ask for bank statement. ? Why do you people like to mislead prospective applicants with your over confidence ?

The person that is going on a visiting visa does not need an invitation letter so what is the evidence that such a person is being invited ?

What is the meaning of It Holds no water ? Are you a staff @ the US embassy ? Why did you not give solution to the original poster ? Foolish notice me.



HAVE A NICE DAY .

Bros dem no de check bank statements and invitation letter for Visiting. They'll not even ask. It holds no water

fkj950ax:


For a Visit Visa, you don't need to provide evidence of "Proof of Funds".
The onus lies on you in your application and interview to convince the VO you will return to Nigeria after the visit; your ties to Nigeria is strong enough to compel you to return.
It is only when the VO totally questions the integrity of your profile they will ask for Proof of Funds (once in a blue moon) - but if for any reason your application gets to that point, the VOs just denies your application - less paperwork and stress.
Proof of Funds is bank statement. For Visit Visa, you don't need to provide it like you need for Education or Health applications.
Nigerians are also proficient at forging bank statements or borrowing funds to dump in accounts and print statements, so the embassies don't even want to deal with anything like bank statement for visit visa.
Concerning invitation letter by your in-laws, its not necessary. The DS160 covers that. Who are you visiting? Whats your relationship? etc
There is nowhere to upload invitation letter. you cant email it, and at your interview, they wont collect it from you to read.
