Babanaaboy1:
For those of us wondering if the USA embassy ever releases interview dates ...this is the amount of approval given this year June .

Thanks for sharing this. Are these E2 2023 DQ (Jan - Dec 2023) or 2022 DQ spill over?

Never mind, these ones aren’t embassy statistics. For the same month, only one E2 visa was issued in Lagos.

Aku660:
It is processed based on first in first out. The person with the earliest DQ will be attended to firs.

Makes so much sense. Thanks

Aku660:
I think the DQ doesn't matter when it comes to IL. It is the PD that matters. I was DQ April 2022, but my PD is not current. EB2 NIW.

Thank you for this. What if PD is current and one has been DQ’ed, which one does NVC give higher priority in scheduling? For example, first applicant : PD 15 Feb 2022, DQ July 2023. Second applicant : PD August 2022, DQ April 2023. Who gets IL first?]

ayomifull:
Can you imagine how easy it is! Thanks a lot Almondjoy that was very clear and helpful.

oliverjiad:

Please what’s the cost for clearing 2010 ML350 4matic?. Thanks

Hi wonderful people, following the recent development with drop-box, I have been unable to get a date for an interview on F-1 visa renewal.

I'm thinking of opening another profile as a fresh applicant. Is this going to have any effect on my application?

This appointment date is dealing with me

Not at all, Canada never banned me

LagosismyHome:
Where u denied in canada or banned .... if banned that a serious offence and embassy do share information

234ng44uk:
Probably the same reasons ypu were denied Canada visa. I supect you have received a ban im your Canada visa which is currently affecting US application. Ban could come from misrepresentation and fraudulent documents.

is that possible, a previous ban from Canada.

VISA APPROVED THIS MORNING:

My appointment was for 6:30am in Lagos. I was surprised by the crowd I met there. Anyways, while in the hall I noticed many people were denied visa, even some students. I was at the last lane and I noticed the last four people before me were also denied visa. I became anxious and starting thinking about all I memorized, but when it got to my turn I became blank, I forgot all I memorized, my brain was like a formatted disk. I lost confidence, but I maintained eye contact and smiling face.

ME: Good morning (*with a shaky voice*)

VO: Pass me your passport, sevis receipt and i20

ME: *I obliged*

VO: How did you get to know about this school and why this particular school?

ME: (*I forgot what to say and paused for about 3 seconds before responding*)Two friends who are alumni of the school recommended it and I did my research on the school by......vo cuts in*

VO: What did your friends tell you about this school?

ME: My friends already knew my preferred area of research concentration and they made me understand that the school is well equipped to fulfil my research aspirations and the school’s curriculum structure aligns with my research area on sustainable energy development and smart grid, which is basically…...vo cuts in*

VO: What is the curriculum structure and which courses will I be taking?

ME:I listed the courses..... vo cuts in* (Before I finished listing the courses, VO approved my visa)

I was shocked, my mind was elevated and I didn’t even hear any other thing the VO said afterwards. I was so joyous in my mind…..
Anyways, this is my story, I thank everyone here for the transcripts, vital information and assistance directly and indirectly.

congrats, no question about your sponsor / funding?

Onicemus:
Right now , as I'm typing this success transcript down, im on my knees, I feel like crying, I feeling like jumping, but I know for sure that I'm really grateful to the almighty God for what he did today, I got to the embassy like some minutes before 7.. appointment was by 7:30.. @ abuja embassy... was nervous because for a while I've not seen a transcript from abuja.... fast forward.....

I did the necessary thingy.. most of the people present were b1b2 visa categories ... fast forward to the transcript

The vo was a young guy.. was denying people sha.. and they self weren't prepared.. all thanks to Nairaland .. I learnt a lot.. yankee loading

Vo: Good Morning how're you, with a smile
Me: Good Morning sir, I'm good and you?
Vo: im great
Pass your documents.. ( I gave him my I-20 and passport and SEVIS confirmation.. he returned my SEVIS confirmation

Vo: why're you going to the USA
Me: to pursue my bachelors degree in computer and information sciences at SAU which I'll study for the duration of 48 months

Vo: are you married?
Me: no sir
Vo: what's your highest qualification
Me: I obtained a diploma in unizik.. psychology precisely sir
Vo: psychology? ( nodded his head) then why computer science at SAU ?
Me: ( I already knew he'll ask this) after my diploma from unizik , I proceeded to work at *** computer center where I was tasked with the responsibility of ensuring that the computers are free from viruses and malware.. I've always been fascinated about computers right from a tender age.. so my experience at the Computer center further fueled my interest in studying computer science at SAU
Vo: what're you doing currently
Me: I work at ** computer center
Vo: that's cyber cafe?
Me: yes sir
Vo: have you traveled out
Me: no sir ( I was denied a b1b2 visa last year sha)
Vo : how many schools did you apply to
Me: 3, Oklahoma state university, southern Arkansas university and Arizona state university
Vo: then why SAU ?
Me: the core of my decision for choosing SAU is because I'll be part of an ongoing research that forcuses on cyber security under professor ..*** .. group .. I mean it's quite obvious about the current situation of our country Nigeria in terms of cyber security, so being part of this course will equip me with the expertise that'll enable me thwart cyber attack and ensure Nigeria is safe as far as cyber security is concerned

biikeys:
Typically they do. The US has some agreement with those two countries that allows them to share immigration information...not sure to what degree. That's not to say that that you will definitely not get a visa because you were banned from one of them. Your eligibility for visa though will depend on a lot more such as details of ban and if the US views those as grounds for visa ineligibility under their law.

i appreciate
