that sucks, sorry about that. Did you finally get an interview for Abuja? Also, if it is a us card, you can try to contact your bank.

Gretmang:
Paid in Lagos the August 30 or thereabout too. You’re doing nothing wrong. It was when they didn’t answer us and after I got “pre approval request rejected” that I went ahead to pay 2 MRV fee again (F-1 and F-2) for Abuja . Paid with a US credit card tho, and avit deducted 3 payments cuz the first one bounced, so the person I sent my card details to did it again, and then pay the 3rd one for F-2.. till now avit say I can’t get refund, and the payment I made in Lagos too, I logged in, they say I should pay again..where did the payment goes ? Lol I just have to forget about Lagos and move on. If you have another money, pay a new MRV, choose Abuja, and go ahead with your interview

I have contacted them, but avit don’t seem to understand what’s goin on.

I already uploaded my i20 the first time. So i don't know why

BikeMan:
What? When did they start this one? If your request was rejected, you just have to reupload your i20.

please, How long have you been in this state? when did you pay your MRV and did you pay using a card online?

curiouscaramel:
okay, thank you, for me, i see "pending appointment request" but when I click it, it shows me to pay a visa fee again.

Both. It displays pending appointment request on the dashboard and when you click on it, it displays pre approval request is being processed

I am posting this for anyone who was stuck in the pre-approval stage for a long time and eventually received an email that said pre-approval was rejected without a reason. I am writing this because I am so mad and sad at how much the US and other countries take advantage of us with no one to turn to a report to.

For context, I paid for my MRV on August 30th, and throughout September, I was in the pending pre-approval stage. Finally, on Sept 30th, I an email that my pre approval was rejected; before this, I had never even scheduled a date, and I had been calling and emailing the support line with no help, clearly they don't know what is going on. I had been getting played like a ping pong.

When I got the rejection, I called again, and someone told me to try again and to even try again with the same payment, which I tried to do. I entered pre-approval processing again, and I started waiting. Now, I see a pending appointment request on my dashboard, and when I click it, it just shows me that I need to pay the MRV fee again, lol.

I called again, and one agent told me to keep waiting. Finally, another told me that it meant the embassy rejected my pre-approval, and I needed to pay another fee and apply again, essentially gambling that maybe they would accept my pre-approval because I don't even know why I was rejected, so if I paid again, what's to say I won't make the same mistake again.

Anyway, I thought I would vent here in case someone else Is looking for some closure or is facing something similar; it's insane because there is no one to report to. This is essentially theft; these people are robbing us.

what are you seeing on your dashboard? is it still "pending appointment request" and pre approval processing?

deees:
Lagos peeps, how do we get out of this wahala without paying another fee, someone could have easily done two different interviews since I have been waiting for Lagos to give me a date.

okay, thank you, for me, i see "pending appointment request" but when I click it, it shows me to pay a visa fee again.

Timgreat31:
I see pending appointment, but when clock on it, then it shows "pre-approvalrequestisbeingprocessed."

please do you see "pending appointment request" on your dashboard or "pending pre approval request"

Timgreat31:
I'm yet to receive the email, which is very worrysome for me. I've been on preapproval request is being processed for one month.

I need this visa urgently. Do you think patin another visa fee and feeling another ds-160 with Abuja choice will work?

please did you receive an email about the pre-approval stage before you were able to go ahead and schedule an appointment

Rklola:
I uploaded mine on Friday evening, and i was able to book an appointment this morning.

please did you get an email confirmation before you were able to go ahead to schedule your appointment after pre approval?
