VisaZest:Thanks. I understand how the hotel booking works, I usually just use the info as my contact in the USA and it's never been an issue. Thanks for the response. I will fill another form ASAP. |
Good day all. I applied in April 2024 and my interview is on the 24th of June. 1. Do I have to fill another form, since the hotel booking (date) filled in 2024 is no longer valid. 2. I rescheduled the interview just once, from March 2026 to June 2025 (Abuja). Now, each time I try to reschedule it shows "no active receipt found for this applicant". Has anyone experienced this? My DS-160 and appointment letter have the same number, but it's been over a year, hence number 1 question. |
Okay. Thanks. BlessedABee: |
Good afternoon. There are 2 people for the interview. I have updated mine as I was the one who completed the forms. How do I update the second applicant's new application number to the Appointment confirmation?[/quote] BlessedABee: |

BlessedABee:thanks |
BlessedABee:The new updated application has a new number. my interview appointment confirmation has the previous application number. would this not create a conflict of information? |
abujaniv:I just saw this. Thanks for your response. |
Thanks LadyGuinivere, you're far too kind. |

worry359:Thanks but all I'm getting from this link is "file not found" |
Good day Justwise. You're doing a great job here. I asked this question on the USA visa thread but no response. I live in port Harcourt and will soon have to renew my US visa. I know about the dropbox option and I qualify. My question is, do I have to fill the DS160 form online before this OR do I go straight to the DHL Dropbox location with my passport and supporting documents? Awaiting your response. N.B. I already checked the website and it only shows the Dropbox addresses, it doesn't explain sufficiently how to go about it. Thanks. |
Thank you uuspace. |
Good day. Can I apply for my UK visa around 20th-21st September? My current visa will expire on October 3rd. This is because I will be in lagos mid-September (I don't live in lagos). I was thinking of using this opportunity to renew my visa. My next trip to the UK is around December. Thank you. |
Good day VO and thanks for all your assistance. My question is, our (husband and myself) visa will soon expire and we both qualify for the Dropbox option. We live in Port Harcourt and I'm aware there's a DHL Dropbox address. Do we have to fill the application form online as we did the first time or just take our passport and supporting documents to the drop off location? Our visas are B1/B2. We were issued the 2year visas the first time we applied without the VO looking at any of the "huge" file of documents we took along. Do we just go and drop off our application or apply online? Please note that the online application only provides Lagos and Abuja as interview locations in Nigeria. Thank you. |
I was completely honest with my parents about our income and what we could afford. White collar jobs and no money for frivolities. Dad took it from there and tailored the expenses to what his son in-law could afford. It just depends on the kind of in-laws you have and the other factors I mentioned earlier. I know ladies who will insist on full implementation of that list, to show everyone that their husband to-be has "arrived". They forget that there's life after these "few hours" ceremonies! |
I come from a family that celebrates events in a big way. Grew up in Lagos and I love the Yoruba party scene. However, as I grew up and lived on my own, I realized that quiet and simple ceremonies are the best. My parents are the type that would sponsor your marriage if you ask but my husband and I wanted to do our thing our way. If I had to do it all over again, it would still be low key (traditional and church). Even if Dangote writes us a 100 million naira cheque ![]() |

b3llo: I desire to marry an Igbo girl but from what Alor pple are saying about their tradition, they should be my choice. Am from Gombe hope your people will welcome meLike I said, it depends on a variety of factors. Your fiancée should have your back. Mine was like this because my umunna really don't like stress. Many business men amongst them who live outside the village, so no unnecessary time wasting. My dad used a blue pen to cross out two or three items(the original list was no biggy like I said). Our umunna had no problem with that because he explained why he did that. Now, I'm not saying its perfect here, no village or community is. Within the same Alor, there are families that would add to the original list if they want to "show" the umunna & umuada that their daughter is marrying a "rich" man. The only BUT u may encounter is that It's a predominantly Christian community, so a non Christian may not be welcome. Apologies to my Muslim and other excluded brothers'. One more thing, if your intended has a not-too-close relationship with her folks, she won't have the liver to speak and convince her dad(who will in turn convince umunna) |
Marriage in any culture depends on several factors; the lady herself, the lady's immediate & sometimes extended family, the village,the state of origin etc. when my husband came for "iku aka" i.e "knocking on the door"(introduction), it was a very relaxed atmosphere. I made all enquiries and confirmed everything myself by speaking with my dad regularly. He only came with drinks,his brother and a very close friend from the same state as mine. My dad (God rest his soul) reduced the items on the list(even though the original list was no biggy). His reason was that no man can compensate him enough for his daughters hand in marriage. To think that my husband is not Igbo yet my immediate and extended family welcomed him with open arms. This is why I said in the beginning that it all depends on the lady in question,her family etc. don't be afraid, don't let tribalistic morons discourage you. I'm also from Alor in Anambra. Traditional marriage in my village is simple ![]() |
