Strange… this is the US CBP note on the 6-month validity… Nigeria is on the exempt list. Either way, OP clearly needs to have a new passport.

Nah I don’t think he’s wrong. I would consider the CBP note as general guidance, with each separate consulate applying unique rules to their situation. I only thought it strange because I know people who obtained visas with passports that were about to expire. But again, that was probably before passports started requiring biometrics.

Funny how people are saying YES, except you want to put a dummy DS-160 Confirmation number and change it later(Which is possible), you need the SEVIS Number on your I-20 to complete your DS-160 form, and you need the DS-160 confirmation number to book an interview.

Can i book an appointment without Without i-20 ?

Please how can I go about this,I need someone to put me through thanks.
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by CelinaAK: 5:19pm On Jul 01, 2021
Please my people help me review. The issue on my I-20 has been updated. Please how’s it now? My COA is 46k$ in school website but here on I-20 is 42$k. I provided family funds because of my deficit of 3k$ using the COA on school website. Please should I tell them to remove family funds on my I-20 because it’s obvious I had $600 surplus from the dept funding and the COA from the I-20. Please kindly advise. Thanks

VO: I see you are going for Manufacturing Engineering.

Unavailability of dates is really crazy.

Is it even possible for them to release dates in July and August?

This is really frustrating.

Good evening guys. Please my emergency interview application is still pending. Still no response. I wanted to ask if I can cancel my existing scheduled interview date for Nov 2 2021. Because the resheduling option is no longer available on my portal. But I have only rescheduled twice. So I DNT know why my resheduling option has disappeared. Please can I cancel my appointment? Would I be able to reschedule after canceling my appointment?

Good day guys. I just joined this platform. I got admitted to a University in New Jersey. So I have applied for a visa interview in Lagos but the closest date I could get was in November and my school resumes September 1. I have applied for an emergency interview for over a week now. The last time I sent them a mail they said that they are still processing it and time is running out. Is this how emergency interview applications take before they respond? Coz I don tire

Have you been able to get a response from them?

Mine also is over a week no response and I'm freaking out
