My last IW was declined and i did the interview. I spent 1 day on a trip to America.


How was the interview?
Care to share your transcript?
Were you eventually given?

I hope you realise that his 221g to show up for an interview was issued based on this DS-160 and you want him to go and change it. Why can’t he get there and use his mouth to mention to the Visa officer these changes he stated here instead of complicating issues? If there was no 221g on that ds 160 then it’s good he can change whatever.
Please let’s be guided


Hey 🤠

**@Debbieeeeeee

1. 221g form is an information request form. It's like given you a JAMB expo. The consular wants to issue you the visa but he or she needs little information or little documents from you. The reason for this is because consulars also note down visas they issued for review against bias or favouritism.

2. Therefore , the OP can fill a new ds 160 and update the same. The VO would be automatically forced to refer to it the moment the OP updated the new ds 160 in his portal . This is a consular who can actually deny you outrightly but he or she wants you to make just little move .

Hey 🤠

1. Yes . Fill another DS 160 and after final submission you have to update it in your cgi profile and re-print your appointment letter in order to display the confirmation number of the new updated DS 160.

2. The documents you will be taking to the embassy depends on what you are going for. Nobody can tell you that except he or she knows what you are visiting the USA for.

will that change my interview date ?

Hey 🤠

1. Each 221g note has its own explanations for administrative processing, therefore your re-appointment or mode of re-appearance and demands is stated inside your 221g letter .

2. Therefore , no. It won't change your interview date. You won't be tampering with your interview date.

3. Be at rest, if your visa is a clear refusal they would have refused you immediately.

I guess the US Visa Fee Regime is a better situation than the Nigerian Visa Fee Regime for anyone planning to come to Nigeria

“CNN International correspondent, Larry Madowo, has expressed dismay over Nigeria’s visa fees.

Madowo, who made this known on his LinkedIn account on Monday, disclosed that despite holding a Kenyan passport, which grants visa-free access to numerous African nations such as Uganda, South Africa, and Ghana, Nigeria requires a substantial fee of $215 for a single-entry visa.

He wrote, ”Nigeria just charged me $215 for a one-month, single entry visa. Again. I was here three weeks ago – paid the same $215. This is actually my third time in Nigeria this year, so they have made $645 from me in 2024 alone.

“The visa itself costs $25, but Nigeria charges a $20 ‘processing fee’ and $170 for biometrics every time. My fingerprints haven’t changed since I was here three weeks ago. Why am I paying $170 to have them taken and to pose for a picture each time I visit? Isn’t that a standard part of admitting someone into a country?”

Good morning Gurus, so I applied for IW in Feb which I was refused but was scheduled for follow up interview
My interview comes up in April 26, my initial plan was to go last month for 2 weeks break, My circumstance has changed as I got promoted last month too with increased salary and also time to travel has changed too

Can I fill another DS160 to update my status before the date or I’m not allowed to change anything?
Thanks


I won't advise you to fill another DS160. It will look as if you lied in the first one. How much did you state as your salary in th first DS160?

You will lead many of these innocent people to visa refusal eventually. Why are you asking him to complicate things for himself? This is an application that has already been assessed, the VO only needed clarification on the existing application which is usually simple and straightforward. You are asking him to go and fill another DS 160 for a follow up interview. You don’t have to answer to every query. Honestly, you are complicating things for many unsuspecting applicants.

It is really sad. I wish he would learn to overlook questions he doesn't have answers to. Most people here respond to questions based on their experience over the years.

Hey 🤠

1. In 221g status . If you believe there is an error or discrepancy in the status of your DS-160 form, you can rectify it despite the fact you have done the bio metric .

2. You with @Flourishing247 does not know pass your kg levels in visa process.

3. Fault finders . You did not have any opinions to give the OP initially but you usually have counter-opinions to prove your heavy weight experiences but you are old schools .

I already gave him my answer before you came with your essay.
It is not necessary to fill another form. The interview will be based on what he filed in his form. Most 221g interviews happen in a week. So why the need to fill another form?

All he needs is the evidence to back up his new status. We are not fault-finding but just make sure you give the right information. You must not have answers to every question asked on this thread. Also direct people to where they can get the right information if you do not know what to say.

Hey 🤠

*** Oga the Boss.

1. Most 221gs happens in a week that is what you know sir . Let me tell you another version that you can be placed on 221g up to 1 year .

2. On DS 160 rectification. Let's assume that the consular officer looked at his/her computer (during your interview) and he/she saw a possible issue flagged, eg suppose that it showed that your name and birthdate were the same as those of a known terrorist.

3. In the above scenario, the consular needs Administrative Processing to determine conclusively that you are not that person. If that department determines that the terrorist is currently in a maximum security prison then you are likely to be approved in a few days, otherwise, you will be placed on 221g indefinitely.

4. Before then, let's assume that you came to your senses and say wow ! I forgot to input my middle name in order to differentiate me from that know terrorist, will you sit down at home and be looking like Dundee on a case that can even get you arrested ? You have to rectify your DS 160 because in 221g your status update goes through your DS 160.

5. If you don't know how to do it ask me how is it possible . Don't come to me like my teacher. You can correct me in a polite way and i will come open if its an error. Its none of your business if i answer 1 million questions with essays. I am preparing myself for my future career .

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by kaakaa(f): 6:18am On Apr 11
It will be adjusted on the 11th of April but since it’s a holiday, am thinking 12th.


Abdomox:
Also anyone with reliable info on when the rate for visa fee will be adjusted?

Paying 185 x 4 at N1800 exchange rate is unfair when dollar is now 1200.
