Congrats to the warriors who got IW appointment date for tomorrow. The over 70 slots went up within minutes. Hope members of the US Visa IW Nigeria Telegram group benefited

Nigerians and their irregular and unusual requests sha




Ayishat22:
Good evening all,

Do anyone knows doctor that can write medical report for free in Houston Texas, or affordable fee.

Please I urgently need reply. Thanks
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Dampops(m): 3:02pm On Feb 24, 2022
I remember you saying it wasn’t wise to leave one’s passport with them for 2 months when one has an interview date within February to April. No one expected the IW fast processing though…one can’t predict these things…

Hopefully March dates for IW will come up soon…fingers crossed.



lekkistar:
I just called them. They said the embassy rescheduled all March appointments and they have been getting calls all day about the issue. And that the embassy reserves the right to cancel appointments.

Na wa!

I should've just done interview waiver when it was opened. I have a trip planned so didn't want to have my passport held for upto 2mths. I just hope they extend interview waiver to Dec appointments.
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Dampops(m): 6:09am On Feb 24, 2022
Simple: log into the interview portal, cancel her current appointment and schedule a IW appointment for her. However, there are no IW dates currently and you need to be sure she meets the conditions (whether her previous visa expired within the last 24 months etc)


Bimsebony:
Thanks. Please what is the process of applying for IW?
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Dampops(m): 8:32pm On Feb 23, 2022
You need to change the DS160 location first...then use the update profile option on the interview portal...


practicalclass:
Please how do I change interview location?
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Dampops(m): 7:01pm On Feb 23, 2022
No disrespect, but some questions that are asked here defy logic. So you want someone to tell you how to handle your one-month old baby?

Your baby won’t be part of this application. Apply for you and your wife alone…if you get the visa, you can apply for her separately in the near future



Pipereyo1:
@ mrlien . Thank you . The point is my baby doesn’t have a passport yet she’s just 1 month plus . If we eventually go for the interview by next month we won’t be able to take the kid along with us . Plus she’s still very young to stay alone inside the car with any siblings . What do you advise me to do?
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Dampops(m): 2:00pm On Feb 23, 2022
You should get a feedback between today and tomorrow. February 15th were sorted yesterday


MaryAndrews:
Please people that submitted their IW applications last week Wednesday February 16th, how far? Any update?
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Dampops(m): 10:23am On Feb 23, 2022
For anyone that’ll be attending a follow up appointment at the consulate, please go with these general documents:
1. The white paper stating the reason for the interview (221g letter)
2. A copy of your DS160 confirmation page
3. A copy of your GTB receipt for visa fee payment
4. Your passport, of course
5.Other documents that can prove your case e.g. hospital bills receipts, past correspondence with the consulate/hospitals in the US etc (this is for those both child birth issues) etc
6. If you are taking a minor (teenager) for biometric, please go with your own ID (driver’s license is sufficient)
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Dampops(m): 3:56am On Feb 23, 2022
No new appointment dates have been released by the consulate. Keep checking like thrice a day or keep following this thread at intervals



slimmy2005:
the appointment letter. After validating the payment it would tell me no appointment available. I answered the questionnaire and we qualify for a Dropbox because the visa is within the 24months stated

tshtsh:
I was trying to be civil because I didnt know the laws regarding proxy application and cross border movement of passport document without the authorized holder but all I will say now is that Nigerians are not good people. They go to any length to satisfy their individual agenda. It was also because of the attitude of some nigerians that dropbox was suspended. This is even a pilot project . At the end they'll make a decision on whether they want to continue with dropbox program or not

TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Dampops(m): 6:55pm On Feb 22, 2022
Hope your DS160 form reflected Nigeria as the point of application...


Mamajt:
@megastu I don’t understand, what’s the difference in me staying in my house in lekki , and me in another country, we applied as a family one member is supposed to drop for the family , did they say I have to be on Nigeria soil ?
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Dampops(m): 5:43pm On Feb 22, 2022
Let me share my experience at the consulate this afternoon while i took my son for his scheduled fingerprint collection. I witnessed the interviews of over 15 applicants...all of them were not new travellers. As at when i left, only 3 of them were granted, one elderly couple was put on AP; the others were refused....frequent travelers o
They queried those of them that stayed for over one month in the US on a trip (you can't lie anyway, as i94 portal will expose you). The questions ranged from: why did you stay that long? What were you doing to survive/sustain yourself in the US? How much did you spend if you stayed in a hotel? What do you do in Nigeria that allowed you to be away for that long? How were you moving around? etc...
The couple that was put on AP have a registered business in the US and mentioned that they need to travel to check their business as its Business Manager died last year (the yeye Consular Officer even empathized with them o...yet still didn't approve their application)...

For people intending to go for vacation and are preparing for an interview, please be prepared for likely questions. May we all find favour...


P.S: Pardon my typos, if any
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Dampops(m): 4:27pm On Feb 22, 2022
I would’ve advised you to apply alone if this is your first visa…they will see that you have enough family ties to want to go back to Nigeria. It may be difficult to convince them in my opinion


yankison:
Bro please are you going for a family vacation ,i just want to know the supporting documents you gathered... I have been refused but last time was in 2016 .so i want to apply for a family vacation with my wife and kid
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Dampops(m): 4:25pm On Feb 22, 2022
I did Dropbox; no supporting documents

TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Dampops(m): 3:58pm On Feb 22, 2022
Our statuses just changed from “AP” to issued…family of 4. My son was earlier refused but he was asked to come for biometric which was done today. Passports were dropped on February 14 IW.
Your good news is next…
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Dampops(m): 3:48pm On Feb 22, 2022
Congrats Chisom…let’s share the testimonies, people


Theosodom2ky:
Tuesday people please check now, my status just changed to issued
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Dampops(m): 3:25pm On Feb 22, 2022
They will send a mail on passport pick up and you will see the reason for the refusal or what other documents are required


thediva:
Hello @dampops, my mom's status says same thing. I just emailed you. Thank you.
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Dampops(m): 3:23pm On Feb 22, 2022
They will return his passport as well…I’m sure before Friday


Mamajt:
no refused too , they said that’s not a final decision so I don’t know..
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Dampops(m): 3:22pm On Feb 22, 2022
Sorry, just seeing your messages. I was at the Consulate. They will return your passport with a paper explaining what more they require from you or the reason for the refusal


Mamajt:
no I didn’t , my husband took it to Lagos and submitted for both Of us
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Dampops(m): 11:50am On Feb 22, 2022
The interview portal usually comes up 2 business days after a refusal/request for interview. So let’s wait till Thursday evening. Let’s be optimistic


Gigli:
@Mamajt I think they will send a follow up mail for instructions.....when you get a date, you can work towards coming down for the interview.

Why do you think you were refused.....did you use your last Visa for child birth?
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Dampops(m): 10:59am On Feb 22, 2022
Calm down. Log into your interview appointment portal and see if anything pops up. What date was the refusal updated? You can reach me on email



Mamajt:
@dampops good morning, my interview waiver status says refused �, I don’t know what to do next , says something about following the consulars instruction but no instruction.. i don’t know what to do next ,Pls help

@Euniquebabe and co…any change in your status of your application online?


Theosodom2ky:
Please people that submitted on 15th . What’s ur status
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Dampops(m): 7:07pm On Feb 21, 2022
Two weeks duration is very adequate


TeeD:
This is nice. I guess my 2 weeks vacation is enough to get my IW visa. Thanks.
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Dampops(m): 3:59pm On Feb 21, 2022
@Chioma76, Did you log on to the interview appointment portal to confirm if you've been invited for a follow up interview with respect to the status of your IW visa application?

Hello, I'll like to know how many days it takes for a (car) shipment to arrive Lagos from Dubai. I understand that the ships don't come regularly like before due to the delays at Apapa port, i'll also like to know when is the next ship likely to leave UAE for Lagos. Thanks

Today is a US holiday; so let’s not expect any activities from the consulate today.
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Dampops(m): 8:16am On Feb 21, 2022
Try to call them to explain the situation. Last resort is to print the two DS160 pages and explain to the guys checking the documents at the consulate. They will resolve it for your mum



Nadnad:
Amen , good morning Sir
I have not been able to update my mum’s new ds160 number on my dad’s profile who is the principal applicant.
Error message is this cannot be updated applicant already has an appointment
The appointment confirmation page has been updated for my dad with the new ds160 number .
Should I just print the new ds 160 confirmation for her and she takes tomorrow.
Any idea on what I can do

Good morning house…May it be a week of good news and testimonies for us all; starting from today…Amen

Good morning house, am still looking for date for IW. I have been on it since 3rd of February. Please do you know anyone that have seen date lately?
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Dampops(m): 9:00pm On Feb 20, 2022
Fingers crossed, you may get a IW date for daddy against March before he travels. It’s more difficult in Canada, to be honest


ehiremen2002:
He plans to stay in Canada, atleast till Sept (6months) and the intention is actually for him to go and stay in US with family for another 6months and return back to Canada.

He plans to be in Ontario.
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Dampops(m): 2:11pm On Feb 20, 2022
Wait it out…you’re less than 45 days away

iyaaliyah:
Good morning.

Please ohh, what is the earliest date anyone found for IW? My regular interview comes up in early April this year. Should I wait it out and go for interview or try to get IW appointment?
Considering that peeps are not getting earlier date for IW. What should I do please?

Thank you.

Note: I am not actually in a hurry, if no consequence of not going for IW, will wait it out.
