Hi All, please I selected lagos for my visa interview, If I want to change to Abuja...how do I do that? I have not picked a date yet. Do I pick a data in Lagos then cancel and pick a date in Abuja?

Hi Umoh, what dates are you seeing for lagos?

umoh461:
I haven't been able to find dates in Abuja, but there are dates in Lagos.

emmybobo1:
I have collected mine already. Just go there with a valid id

so no need to schedule an appointment with dhl right?

Donbigi2:
Can you share your transcript?

it wasn’t a student visa

emmybobo1:
I don’t understand this issue. I completed my interview on Tuesday and was successful. Today I received a message to pick up my passport at dhl. But while trying to schedule appointment with dhl the system says that my passport number doesn’t match their records, that I should make sure my DOB is correct. But everything is correct

I have the same issue

lawali:
Congratulations. Any reason why you printed another DS160 confirmation page. Guess you didn’t take it to embassy.

I had to fill another because I had to switch from Lagos to Abuja

Jidebambam:
Congratulations! Did you pick your passport already?

No, will pick up on Monday

Visa Approved

VO: Can I have your passport and documents?
Me: I pass them to him

VO: Checks my passport, is this your first time traveling abroad?
Me: Yes sir, my first time

VO: Oh good, so why are you going to the US?
Me: I am going for my master’s in Applied statistics and decision analytics, but it states statistics on my i-20. I reached out to the school and they said that is what is being recognized on the SEVIS system.

VO: What is your undergraduate degree?
Me: Estate Management, but I took some statistics courses in my 200 to 500 level. My interest in statistics started when I used SPSS to analyze the findings of my final year project. After my NYSC, I took up a position at *** as a Customer Data Analyst where I was involved in analyzing customer satisfaction surveys to improve service delivery. Currently I am an Operations Data Analyst for *** and I am involved in analyzing sales data to derive insights and develop interactive dashboards to track sales performance using tools like Microsoft Excel, Power BI, SQL, and SPSS. Now, my bachelor’s degree does not cut it anymore and I need this degree to advance in my professional career as a data analyst.

VO: cuts in…that’s okay, so I see you have been given a bit of scholarship and you have some deficits. Who will be taking care of them?
Me: My Paternal Aunt, she has been the one sponsoring my undergraduate education ever since my dad died in 2009

VO: cuts in…and what does she do
Me: She is a doctor

VO: How many kids does she have?
Me: She has 2 kids

VO: How many siblings do u have?
Me: 2 siblings. My brother is 23 and just got a job at ***, My Sister is 18 and she is in her second year.

VO: Smiling… So why don’t you go to the UK, since your aunt’s there, why US
Me: Smiling… US reputation was definitely a major factor…

VO: cuts in…. that’s nice. Typing…I will be returning your documents, Then I heard dem golden words…Your visa has been approved on the system, to be honest I cannot remember the rest. I was just nodding my head like an agama. He hands me the white paper…you will receive a message when your passport is ready.
Me: I collect my documents and the white paper…Thank you, have a nice day

VO: and you too.
ME: I walked out of the room with utter disbelief.

What really helped me was past transcripts. The day before my interview, I studied all the past transcipts i had, I also checked on Nairaland. It was like I was reading for an exam; I was like an attorney who had a case and needed to study past legal decisions, those that watched the series SUITS can relate.

Please be prepared and confident. I was so prepared. I practiced with my mirror. I had answers on my fingertips and because of this, I was not nervous at all. Lastly do your research, the person after me was denied, apparently, she used an agency for her application and didn’t fill her DS-160 herself. God that did mine, will do yours too. Happy New Year.

Kingbeeeee101:
Good morning guys. Pls my school (graduate school) is resuming for spring by January 9 and my visa interview is dec 28th. Will I have an issue with how close the interview date is to resumption? Should I be worried?

28th Dec is probably a public holiday

Mosminic:
It'll be rescheduled. The embassy doesn't work on Nigerian and US public holidays

Okay, thank you

Good morning house, If one's visa appointment date might be a public holiday, will it be rescheduled or do embassy work on such days?

edox15:
How about those who got denied once. Should we only try Abuja for expedited appointments ?

it might be different. Heard dates are from March. But be hopeful and watchful

taylorfola:
Hello everyone,

Dont try it o. Push for abuja and not lagos. I got denied for emergency appointment today, I quickly canceled and chose abuja. was lucky to see december dates.

tobypills:
I applied for emergency request after getting March 11th as regular apt, the option was there

Bellaluve:
Same here. I picked that date. Now I'm trying to request for emergency interview.

Please, the i-120 form they are asking for the emergency request, must I sign it first?

Bellaluve:

Pls what date did u get? the next availabel date i saw was April 5th

TekelUpharsin:
Greetings people. Please I need help. I have a sponsor with a foreign SOA. Those who have used foreign sponsors should please talk about how detailed the SOA was. Is a one-paged SOA showing the opening and closing figures enough (We know how people may want to keep certain transactions from the person they're sponsoring) ? What would characterise a good foreign SOA? Also, would it be okay to use printed electronic copy?

someone should please answer this questions for us o...abeg
