Hello everyone,

I need some advice, please. Our international passports will expire in a few months, so we decided to renew them. I have a few questions:

1. Do we need to upload the new passport on the CEAC site, or can we simply bring both the new and old passports with us to the interview?

We’re a family of four living along the Ikorodu Road. We have a car, but I’m not familiar with the area around the U.S. Embassy on Walter Carrington Crescent. Is there a safe place to park nearby, or would it be better to take an Uber or Bolt? I’m also considering staying at a reasonably priced, safe hotel nearby to avoid any delays. I’d appreciate recommendations from anyone familiar with the area.

Additionally, has anyone recently applied for a police character certificate (PCC) online? When I went to the Alagbon office, the officer informed me it would cost ₦50,000, but I saw online that the total cost is ₦30,000. Should I proceed with the online application? I’d also like to know how long it typically takes to receive the PCC this way.

Thank you

Apologies for my long silence..

Yes, we even got one the same month we received the IL.


Congratulations bro. Did you at ang point in time stop getting the message they usually send every 60 days before you receive your interview letter[/quote]

Hello everyone,
To God be the glory, we finally received our IL on the 28th of October. F3 DQed on 28/02/2022.

Please, I need some guidance on the pre-interview preparation checklist. Although I have reviewed the information provided on the site linked to the IL, I encountered my first challenge while trying to register on the USTravelDocs site.
Firstly, the link provided https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ng/en directs me to a page where I need to select my location. However, when I make my selection, I am redirected to https://ng.usembassy.gov/. After searching through that page, I cannot find an option to register or sign up.
I would appreciate any help or advice you can provide.
Thank you.
