Okay…it means you just go for the interview on any Thursday then after collecting your passport. @Qtip, please note Nadnad: Update Picked up today with request for interview any Thursday form 6:30 to 9:30 am. I actually applied for Medicals instead of tourist cos my last visa was Medicals (Child birth ) though I did not use it . Guess I answered are you applying for the same kind of visa as yes . I hope they will not ask me to go and apply for the right visa during the interview. I am not pregnant at the moment . Not sure what the questions will be fingers crossed |

Good morning people, congrats to those that were successful with their IW applications recently. It seems there’s been delay between when the application changes to “issued” to when passport pick up mails are sent. I think the volume of application has increased so we should factor in 3-5 additional days. Recall that they had advised that the process could take up to 2 months…so no need for any panic. For those that got a temporary setback of “refused”; just calm down as you’ll definitely be invited for a physical interview before a final decision is made. The likely red flags are: previous childbirth, irregular duration in your previous visits (e.g. less than 24 hours visit likely due to transiting to another country etc)…when you get your passport back, the 221g slip may give you an inkling. You’ll have to schedule a follow up appointment on the portal. Dates usually pop up 3-5 business days after a refusal is updated on the tracking portal. If there’s a delay, please be patient. It’ll eventually pop up; use the waiting time to prepare for the interview.
I read where someone suggested “gate crashing” at the consulate on Thursday for the follow up interview. Hmmmm…I’m not sure that’s a good idea…imagine if everyone that got a refusal storm the place on same day, wouldn’t that be chaotic? Just my thought.
Wish everyone best of luck with getting Dropbox dates and their applications/interviews.
Mind my typos, if any |

Well, the couple listed a hospital as one of the places they are visiting (on the DS160 form)…meanwhile that was where they had their last kid some years ago… The questions: What are they going to do in the US? Answer: Vacation first, then a scheduled checkup for their son Q: Did they give birth to their kids in the US? (Something they already knew o) Answer: Yes (they showed evidence of fees paid) Q: Do they have any appointment? A: yes, an appointment has been booked and consultation fee paid ahead ($200 or so) Q: What do they do for a living? A: “they stated their business/occupation” Q: How long are they staying on their trip?… Visa approved… Gigli: Can they post or you post what questions were asked and their responses.

Dates usually pop up like 3-4 business days after you are “refused”. Calm down babs4all: Good day, this is what prompted when I wanted to schedule a follow-up interview. Does that means there's no date available? |

I’ve heard first testimony from a couple scheduled for a follow up interview this morning. Just mild questions were asked…and visa was approved.

God bless @dixja for the initial idea. It seemed like a fruitless venture initially but became a ‘life saver’ eventually. Beyond just creating the group, it was well run and structured; and had very committed members willing to wake up at 2am to check dates availability in the interest of others. I salute them all. I hope those joining this group aren’t expecting to sit in a lounge while others check dates for them… they must put in the work too IkoyiLagos: credit to @dixja [i][/i]initiative - We have now created a new IW group

I have IW date for March 8. My Wife and I are 10 printed but my 12 and 10 year boys are not.
I am planning to go alone to submit documents.

Not many people are willing to come online and share their stories randomly. Perhaps if you ask a direct question, someone with a similar story may share his or her experience ninab: Another thing is some people applied with their spouses or whoever ,who are no longer in the country. Now trying to renew is an issue(I know someone this just happened to) So they might want to know why you applied with someone initially and renewing alone ,maybe that Person decided to stay back.
Please people with success stories after renewal should come forward to ease others tension. |
Travel › Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Dampops(m): 10:02pm On Mar 03, 2022 |
Most likely it’ll be for you to come for an interview. When you get your passport back, coast will be clear. Let’s keep hope alive Nadnad: I just tracked mine and I saw refused BL bla. So I went to check my forms to understand what could have gone wrong , I realized my last visa was B2 Medicals and that’s what I applied for this time don’t know how I did not change it back to normal b1/b2 , that’s all I have noticed though. I used the last visa twice but did not even give birth in the US . I have given birth in the US before and renewed twice after that without an interview I am currently not pregnant so I am just confused I need help , however I would wait until I get my passport back, maybe they will ask me to come for follow up interview. |

They can bring themselves together and form another group. Let’s face it, most of the people in the old group would’ve gotten Dropbox appointment dates by now, so no motivation to remain in the group… Anyone can spearhead the new mission… IkoyiLagos: People are literarily begging to be added to the Telegram group, can someone please be kind enough to listen to their plight.
Is the group still existing? How can people join? |
Travel › Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Dampops(m): 6:58pm On Mar 03, 2022 |
Is the follow up appointment at the instance of the Consulate? That is, did you get a refusal at the IW/Dropbox submission? If so, the appointment dates will pop up in a couple of days for you to choose from. You don’t have to join any telegram group if this applies to you. babs4all: I need to schedule a follow-up interview. It seems it's difficult to be added to the telegram group. I will appreciate if anyone already in the group can paste info about openings here as soon as they become available. Thank you and God bless you |
