Calista1:



I sincerely plead your urgent response!
I have been trying to request an emergency appointment with my new MRV receipt number, but whenever I enter my tentative travel date of 4/15/24, it generates an error message "Tentative Travel Date: Invalid Date," and when I click to submit the emergency request, it shows another error message, "Emergency Request cannot be submitted at this time; please wait."

Please, what could be the reason? I need help! Someone should explain to me what is wrong. Thanks.

rossycheeks:
Good morning everyone. Please I need your help. We applied for visa renewal under interview waiver as a family. We all qualified for interview waiver. My husband and I were granted visa but my daughter was refused under 221g. She was asked to schedule another interview. Which we have done. Question is, we don't know if it's a regular or physical interview or drop off. The confirmation appointment letter is similar to the interview waiver.
Experienced people in the house, can you please throw more light on this. Thank you.

OyoTunjiUSA:

Thanks for responding but, you assumed a lot. I know that the 221g is a conditional refusal. what i do not know is if the other appointment we're asked to schedule is a physical interview or a dropoff. Probably when i first sent the message i did not attach the 221g letter. You assumed that the IW application wasn't made by us. Sir, that's incorrect. We all applied together as a family. My daughter is an adult. My family has no intension of relocating to the US. We always renew our visa as a family. The 221g is a first for me that's why i want those who have had issues like that to throw more light.
Thank you.

Hey 🤠

*** Your narration denotes that you did not apply for the IW yourselves because the 221g slip must contain some information for you .


1. The 221(g) is not a true refusal. It is called a “conditional refusal which typically means that more information is requested by the issuing officer.

2. Your daughter need to provide whatever information has been requested or she need to strengthen the information she has already provided to the consular.

3. The 221g may turn to permanent refusal if the visa officer assess both parents as would-be over stayers . Another point is that if your daughter is in her adolescent years (14-18) or even older , then she is a very good candidate to stay and work in the USA illegally too.

4. Also have it at the back of your minds (both parents) that you are renewing her visa when she is supposed to be attending classes in school .

5. If her 221g finally turned to permanent refusal then you and your spouse (parents) are the reasons because a nonimmigrant is a person who has a residence and (especially nuclear) and family abroad they do not intend to abandon and this girl on 221g might be YOUR ONLY CHILD ?

6. The Consular had the whiff of immigrant intent. If you all have the visas, then all of you together looks like you are ready, willing, and able to stay in America.


Best Wishes 🙏

Hey 🤠

1. You are looking for public opinion and you are hammaring on assumptiin ? Why did you not ask the consular or the cgi call centre if you know what you are doing ?

2. My friend , you know nothing about the 221g otherwise you would have followed the instructuion written on it. 221g form is explanatory , its different to 214b.

3. You claimed that you apllied for the IW yourself but you dont know how your daughter will go back and answer her query ?

4. Your daughter is an adult and your family is not looking for avenue for relocating ..Dont tell me that again. Tell your daughter to go back and tell the visa officer .

5. Keep waiting for lies from those who have had the experience before . You will soon realise that USA visa is a chameleon .


Best Wishes 🙏

Sometimes it is better to seat things out, you don’t have to respond to everything especially if it involves you giving rubbish advice. Your assumptions do not even make sense, I read it and had to go back and read what the poster wrote thinking I missed something. You have okay contributions at times but when you decide to weigh in on every question even where you don’t have experience in the topic your ignorance begins to show.

OyoTunjiUSA:


Hey 🤠

@Sarah2022 go and sit down and take plain sheet with a pen to jot down notes when i am responding to questions.

My assumptions did not make sense but non of you has come out to write the assumptions that make sense .

You all claim experiences which turn out counter-productive for most of you. All of you have forgotten that United States visa types changes policy like chameleon and you think US embassies will stay stagnant on visa policies like you.

1. I have B1/B2 , and F1 experiences which i am ready for off-hand debates with any one of you with the convidence that i will come 1st.

2. In USA visa procedures , your old experiences and my new experiences are almost useless . UPDATES IS WHAT IS USEFUL AND NEEDED .

3. I have done many courses both physical and correspondence on USA visa policies and i am registered with a Yearly paid sites which hint members visa policy changes 24/7.

4. I am using Nairaland as a training ground to train my ability in sorting out all USA visa procedure teasers. I work with more than 6 International Immigration Attorneys .

5. You are using old experiences which might have been faced out but i am using updated training .

Best Wishes 🙏

Sara2022:


US date format is mm/dd/yyyy which is what the poster quoted originally, what you put is Nigerian date format dd/mm/yyyy. It’s okay to not know the answer to every question.

Not interested in your resume, only ask is to refrain from giving wrong information. You should also go back for a refund for the courses you have taken on visa policy, there are clearly gaps in your training. I generally don’t comment, but I have been a beneficiary of nairaland and got my express entry solely from learning and contributing to this platform, one thing we never did was to share information we were not sure of because the implication can be negative for someone who uses the wrong information shared. You fill this forum with so much details a lot which are incorrect and someone goes on to follow it and gets in trouble.

Where you have valid information contribute, but try to refrain from giving wrong information, you don’t need to have all the answers.

Apologies to everyone for spamming the thread, this is my last response. I have read these responses for weeks and just had to call it out.

AnCorner:
Does anyone know of any group that I can join to get interview dates? I'll appreciate if I can find one. Thank you!

mercyp001:
Please, what method can someone use to get close interview appointment date? This far year is disheartening.

Sara2022:


You need to schedule an in person interview, check her portal for dates. Did she stay for a long period on the last visa or think of anything that may have occurred after the last visa that might require an interview. Was she a minor when she was issued the last visa? Try to figure out what it might be so she can prepare and respond to their questions appropriately.

helpee:
.
Hello, I understand what you are saying . The appointment letter still looks exactly like the IW appointment letter . Infact, the priority will still say WITHOUT INTERVIEW.
Don’t worry. It is the physical appointment.

flourishing247:


It will be a physical interview. I want to assume your daughter is now a teenager. If yes, then it is solely for finger printing. That's what happens when they get to that age. They refuse them with 221g then ask them to come in for interview. It is usually for finger print.

Unless there is something else that cropped up during your previous visits.

fearlessfang:
I have a friend who wants to visit US from Nigeria. I would have suggested the F-1 route but he has no degree.

What is the best way for him to visit US? Conference or just vacation? If vacation or conference what is the best advice?

Thank you

Ninaskylar:
Good afternoon everyone! I applied for my mom's visa interview in 2022. The only available dates at that time were in 2024. I was able to schedule one in May 2024. I received an email that it has been rescheduled to an earlier date in April 2024. It's been a while and there's been so many updates since then.

My question is do I need to create a new DS-160 for her with updated information? She has a new passport number and the DS-160 on her profile is the one from 2022.

What are the other things that may need updating as well?

Thank you!

***I modified my post to state that her visa application is for the B1/B2 visa.

Debbieeeeeee:

2022 has been a long time. Fill a new form, put her new passport number , take both passports to the embassy because she got the visa fee on the previous passport. Update the passport number on her appointment scheduling profile or call the contact center to update for you.
