Mail the people at lagosNIV. The Avits people might not respond.

DokitaDave:
Congratulations!!

Please, when did you make your MRV payment?

I'm also in this situation. I paid since December 20 but I still can't progress to schedule an appointment. Every time I input my bank reference number, I'm logged out of my account.

I had raised 4 different tickets to this effect but they keep saying they have escalated it.

Please advise me.

What finally happened?

jokepearl:
Now OIS sent me a message that my passport is ready for pickup but ceac still says Received

When did you submit your passport? I am having a "refused" status. No email and passport not ready for over a week.

Linda2015:
Please I received 221g follow up notification in my mail.. am picking my passport this week from dhl, but on the avits portal I can't find reschedule as the link indicates. Please is there a thread for 221g I can read or can someone please put me through how to schedule the follow up appointment. Thank you in advance

How long does it take to get a passport back after getting “Refused” on CEAC? I submitted my passport for IW over 10 days ago.

For 221g, won’t they return the passport also?

jennyhumphrey:
I think your visa is issued, if it was 221g they would have sent you a mail to schedule an interview.

@iOluropo04 how did you solve this? I am having the same issue.

iOluropo04:
Please, is there anyone who submitted their documents through IW last year and was given a 221g refusal? How did you go about it, I mean how did you schedule another appointment? Or if anyone has a solution, please share. Thanks

None of the above. The longest I stayed was 3 weeks but visited 4 times in 11 months. mostly follow-ups on previous business deals. I am a startup founder, and it was fundraising and partnership season.

cindermum:
This may just be a case of random selection. Did you change jobs? Did you apply with someone that didn't come back to Nigeria ? What's the longest time you ever stayed in the US?

How did this go?

Niksie:
Thank you.

For me, where i will be picking up the passport is another thing. OIS or DHL? Cos it was DHL i selected when i started the process with the old portal. No instructions on this from them yet.

I have also created tickets through ‘support’ on AVITS. The response was that i have to wait until my appointment is tagged as 221g before i can reschedule.

Has this happened to anyone after an IW? I have never over stayed, never committed a crime, Male so I did not have a baby or violate any rule I am aware of.

Oga OP, How is the Trump era treating you?😅

Mail LagosNIV. They might sort you out.

AFLOM:
What does the interview waiver question look like? I qualify but didn't see the questionnaire. It took me to regular appointment which I booked, and now I believe $185 is wasted.

Boarding

Now having a weird combo of suya and eggs

Immigration etc, cleared. Spent a total of N8K on various beggars. For the first time I was pulled asides for extra checks but everything went well since I had nothing to be scared of.

My second time document a trip. The last one was to Washington some months ago. This year, we start with Africa.

How long did it take to solve it?

dasayo:
Hi, its must likely a glitch. I experienced this in september.

You may need to open a ticket. Attach your First bank invoice and receipt of payment. By the time its been resolved, you'll be able to book an appointment.

All the best

Is anyone experiencing issues after card payment? paid and the page is stuck. asking me to pay $0 and buttons not working

Yes, even another computer

yinkhar:
Tried another browser?

I am currently stuck after paying with card. It’s now asking me to pay $0

dest4real:
Who can answer this question please? If the card payment goes through successfully, will you still be at the pre-approval stage? Or should your card payment be successful, you'd be moved to appointment scheduling page immediate?

Done that many times

yinkhar:
Reload or try to logout and login again

After paying with card, I got this. Can’t move forward. Any solution?

Have you paid? someone mentioned seeing the duplicate issues resurface with your method after payment

AdisaMighty:
saw this in the student visa discussion. I guess it’s risky. Also if you have number 0 and you change to letter “o” on your passport it goes😂.
My case is IW and I don’t know the implication.

What happened after you paid?

Donbigi2:
He is right but I'll do you one better.
1. Start by entering the wrong passport number and go to the MRV payment section.
2. Click on your name (check the screenshot if you're unsure where).
3. It should take you back to the form. Now, enter the correct passport number and proceed.
4. If you get the error (duplicate applicant), don’t worry—just close the tab.
Open "Pending Appointment" again, and now you should be able to proceed with the payment (you can click your name again to confirm the right passport number is there.

maryini:
Please has anyone been able to get a “duplicate applicant found for this user” error on the AVTIS website resolved ?

It’s extremely fustrating that after making payment since Sep 6th, all calls and chats with the customer reps have yielded no resolution.

Who has tried this?

Gretmang:
AVIT cant help . They have no idea of what’s happening. This is what u do ; In the new profile, change the last digit of your passport number and proceed. It’ll allow you to proceed and book an appointment. Your appointment slip will come out with this new passport number (the one with the last digit changed), don’t fret, it’s okay, however, your DS-160 will bear the right Passport number, that’s what they’ll use to pull out ur details. Your appointment slip has no usefulness pass the AVIT security members who’ll check the slip and compare it with what they have on their system to be sure you have an appointment that day. After the security procedure, what matter is your DS-160 page , passport and i20 ( passport and i20 are the two documents the VO will collect from u)

If you don’t do this, you’ll keep getting “duplicate applicants……” even if you use 100 emails

.

Well, no solution yet. My passport is almost full. So I I might just exhausted it. That’s the worst case scenario.

darwintee:
I've not found a solution. What about you?

.

Where you able to solve this, please?

Greatchampion:
Please help me resolve this, it's telling me duplicate account for this user.
