Childofthemosth:
Good afternoon

Please respond to this,

Lagos has not responded my Emergency request and my school resumes in about 3 weeks.

I want to change to Abuja, do I have to pay another MRV before I can request Abuja?

Viquetohr:
Yeah, I just called thru the Lagos Embassy. A fresh EA request transferring to Abuja will attract another MRV fee payment. If you feel you can't wait any longer and can afford to pay another MRV fee, please do. But you have no idea if it's a wise decision for you. I also await an EA approval just like you do. I applied to the Lagos Embassy on the 17th July, and my resumption date is 23rd August. I've waited long enough too, but be wise.

xoxo701:
You mean I should buy another visa fee?? And re apply to Abuja ?

Vahn:
Please can someone recommend an affordable and safe hotel in Abuja, that is also close to the embassy? thank you

jojoey:


If you did not cancel or reschedule your initial appointment, you can cancel your current appointment and switch to Abuja without paying another mrv fee and then request emergency in abuja.

Optima Hotel. 8k standard.
10k Executive.
3/5mins walking distance to embassy.

Childofthemosth:
Thank you.
I haven't reschedule or cancelled initial appointment before, on my appointment it says that I have exceeded the number of times I can schedule.

Also, I was denied Visa in July, could this the reason Lagos is yet to respond emergency request?

Colette005:
Good evening all,
I just got my i-20, is it too late to apply for a visa for the fall semester?

Vahn:
when is your school resuming?
