Please who knows when the six months period will ban will end? My uncle has an interview next month. He's thinking of either moving the date since most people going now are denied,or to go ahead with the interview believing it'll be positive.

Postpone till when the climate is stable.

MsAnonymous:
Ok so I heard that starting this week, Nigerians can only be admitted into the USA for up to 30 days, you cannot stay for up to 6 months anymore. Those on B1B2 visa.

Please post the source here

Kemo88:
The aggression that day at the U.S. embassy was so palpable. They refused or banned everyone there , men, women, adults, and even children. It was ridiculous.

I think a major reason they are banning women who had kids in the U.S. is because a ban on your record means you cannot apply for any type of visa, and you certainly cannot apply for an immigrant visa (a green card or otherwise).

Don’t forget that as the parent of a U.S. citizen, it is only a matter of time …once your child turns 18 and has paid taxes for at least three years (making them 21) , before your child can file for a green card for you.

However, this becomes almost impossible if you have a permanent ban on your record.

Your account of that day says a lot on its own. People may debate the motive, but the pattern of aggressive and sweeping refusals is hard to ignore.

MsAnonymous:
Hi
Entry date was 3rd week in Feb 2026
They didn’t stamp me in.
The guy just looked at my passport and my B1/B2 visa page and handed it back to me.
The passport was not scanned n it was not stamped.
He just asked me to go ahead n enjoy my holiday.
I told him verbally I was staying for 2 wks.

My passport was also not stamped when I was leaving the USA

Your I-94 will show how long you were recorded as being stamped in, and since your entry was smooth, it’s most likely the typical duration.

Kemo88:
Not in all cases ma’m. In my case , I paid my bills in full. If you track back here you will see where I asked on this platform back then that I was offered a form of financial assistance(a type that the hospital assured me was ok for my status). People here adviced me not to take it and I did not take it. Because any money taken in the U.S. is tax payers money. Part of the documents I attached to the embassy to challenge this ban , was evidence of full payment for both missionary journeys I had done in the past. I didn’t even go to a cheap state or cheap place. I paid 32k dollars in full!!! I say “not cheap “ because The state I went doesn’t even give the usual self-pay discount. I’m glad I didn’t use tax Payers money otherwise this ban would not have been removed .

I hope my post will really help people be truthful in immigration processes.

This is precisely the point. She paid in full, did not take taxpayer-funded assistance, provided evidence, and still ended up banned until she challenged it, then clearly this is not just about defaulters or abuse of benefits. People need to stop oversimplifying a pattern they have not personally experienced.

flourishing247:
Did they pay the full amount? I think the major issue we have are the people that used the benefits they weren't supposed to use. It was the norm for years until the clampdown. Just like the overstay issues.

The problem is that this is no longer just about people who used benefits improperly or left bills unpaid. There are people who paid in full, brought proof, and still faced the same scrutiny and refusals. That is why many of us are saying this goes beyond the usual excuse of unpaid bills or overstay. Once people who complied fully are still being treated this way, it starts to look like a broader clampdown affecting Nigerians in this category, not just defaulters.

They may never write it in blunt terms, but the pattern is there. The wording is always careful, yet Nigerians with prior U.S. childbirth history appear to face a level of scrutiny that often ends in refusal even after they provide all requested evidence. That is why many of us do not see this as coincidence. Yes the people who I know that were affected paid in full.

Kemo88, I am very sorry for the entire situation you endured, especially since you didn't expect to face such an experience. If prejudice hadn't been a factor, why would she insist on interviewing you when your visit to the embassy was only as an escort, not for an interview? Still, I’m relieved that the ban on your record has finally been lifted and your persistence helped out big time. I feel upset about this witch hunt targeting Nigerians who have had babies in the USA. I’ve spoken with women of other nationalities who also had their babies in the US, and they aren’t facing such harsh scrutiny. It’s heartbreaking that things have come to this. Nigeria’s struggling economy seems to have only made it easier for these injustices to occur. Holding a Nigerian passport in this day and age almost feels like a death sentence.

Major update:

Did my interview today and I just wasted my time going

Nobody is being issued visas. At all. They will interview you normally, ask you all the questions they want to ask as if everything is fine then at the end they will tell you that they cannot issue you visa because of the ban, give you a white slip and then tell you to re apply after the ban is lifted.

Wasted my time. Naturally I would’ve postponed my interview but I already used up all the 5 date changes so my sacrifice is for everyone’s benefit here.

Postpone your interviews till later, indefinitely. Nobody is issuing visas to Nigerians. As far as b1/b2, f1 are concerned

Thank you for this first hand information! Just what we needed

chibertha:
whatsapp groups have killed it.

Even WhatsApp groups have died out. In September and October 2025, there was a wave of visa revocations that affected many people who gave birth in the USA, and their spouses or anyone linked to their visas were not spared either. This has slowed the whole process. These days, most people no longer mention when they go to give birth, which is why I’m surprised some are flaunting that they’re in the USA to give birth now, especially when the tides are crazy with the current administration.

dest4real:
Good day house,

Please, with the recent ban placed on Nigeria, can someone still submit petition for EB2 NIW and get a PD locked?

Thanks.

This pause is on visa issuance by the Department of State does not prohibit filing with USCIS. The priority date stays valid even if visa issuance is delayed. So filing now “locks in” your priority date.

If a WhatsApp group exists, there will be no need for this thread. Stop trying to redirect the usefulness of this thread towards a WhatsApp group. If this thread didn’t exist, you wouldn’t be here trying to find your way to the WhatsApp group. Please stay on topic and avoid derailing the discussion.

justwise:
Thank you for the great work.

Let’s hope that this will not be derailed

I'm hoping so too! Fingers crossed. Anyone who wants to derail will be cautioned.

Justwise this is the new thread as requested please close the previous thread.
Thanks 🙏🏾

New Thread for USA Visit visa Part 6

Welcome to Part 6 of the USA visit visa thread
USA Visit Visa Part 6

Welcome to Part 6 of the USA Visit Visa (B1/B2) thread! Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this community; your shared experiences and advice have been invaluable. As in previous parts, this thread is a do-it-yourself space – nobody here is a visa agent or VOA, and our goal is to help honest applicants prepare and apply correctly . Please read earlier parts for more background.

Recap of Parts 1–5

Part 1 (2015) – The original thread where the first applicants shared their stories and basic tips. It laid the foundation with Q&A about application steps and interviews.

Part 2 (2015) – A “cleaned-up” continuation by LadyGuinivere, focusing on likely interview questions, self-evaluation, and official instructions. It emphasized the DIY approach and honesty , and provided key links (DS-160, appointment site, embassy contacts).

Part 3 (2017) – Continued by LadyGuinivere as a fresh thread. It reiterated that Parts 1–2 still contain “priceless” advice and encouraged applicants to revisit them.

Part 4 (2020) – Reopened by LadyGuinivere with updated links and a reminder that advice from Parts 1–3 remains priceless . It again stressed careful preparation, honesty, and walking through the process step-by-step.

Part 5 (2024) – Launched by Debbie and Justwise, praising the community’s “amazing” contributions (especially Part 2)  and sharing new official updates. It reinforced the themes of truthfulness and self-help, and included instructions and links (e.g. US Embassy Nigeria visa info, DS-160/CEAC, interview videos).

Each part has built on the last, so newcomers should skim Parts 1–5(linked below) before proceeding. The information from Parts 1–5 remains invaluable .

🔗 Part 5: https://www.nairaland.com/8138024/usa-visit-visa-part-5 

Steps to Apply (Nigeria)
1. Decide on Visa Type: B1/B2 (visitor visa) is for tourism, visiting family/friends, or short business trips. Confirm you qualify (non-immigrant intent, strong ties to Nigeria).
2. Complete the DS-160 Form: Go online to the U.S. Department of State’s Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC) at ceac.state.gov/ceac  and fill out the DS-160. Answer honestly and thoroughly. When done, print the DS-160 confirmation page with barcode ; you’ll need this at your appointment. If you make a mistake, you must submit a new DS-160 (print the new barcode) and contact the embassy before the interview to explain the change .
3. Pay the Visa Fee: The application (MRV) fee for a B1/B2 visa is US$185 (depending on exchange rates). Pay only through the approved methods (formerly at GTBank or online via Quickteller; check the U.S. Embassy Nigeria site for current options like Avits website and bank payment). After payment, you will get a receipt and a payment barcode number – keep these for scheduling your appointment.
4. Create a Visa Appointment Account: Log on to the official visa appointment portal for Nigeria (the U.S. visa applicant service) at usvisaappt.com  and register an account. This account links your DS-160 and payment. Follow the instructions to verify your payment and then schedule your visa interview date and location (choose either Abuja or Lagos based on convenience) .
5. Schedule Interview: Once your account is set up, schedule your interview appointment online. You will select the visa category (B1/B2) and get an appointment letter. Print and keep this appointment confirmation. Note that new rules (effective April 22, 2025) require your DS-160 confirmation barcode to match the appointment details exactly . You must schedule at the city you chose on your DS-160. If later you realize the DS-160 barcode doesn’t match, log into your appointment account at least 10 days before the interview and submit a correction request  (then rebook the appointment if needed).
6. Prepare for Your Interview: Gather all required documents (see next section). On the day of your interview, arrive early at the embassy/consulate, go through security screening, have biometrics (fingerprints) taken, and then see the consular officer. Answer questions truthfully and confidently.

Required Documents

Bring the following to your interview:

Passport: Valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned stay. Also bring a clear copy of the photo page.

DS-160 Confirmation Page: The printed barcode page .

Appointment Letter: Confirmation of your interview date/time (from USVisaAppt).

Photographs: Two recent color passport-size photos (2×2 inches, white background) meeting U.S. requirements. (Check Travel.State “Photo Requirements” for details.)

Supporting Documents: [/b]To establish the purpose of your trip and your ties to Nigeria. Typical documents include:

[b]Travel itinerary or invitation: [/b]If visiting family/friends, an invitation letter and their ID/legal status; if tourism, proof of hotel reservation or travel plans.

[b]Employment letter: From your Nigerian employer stating position, salary, approved leave, and that you’ll return to work.

Business letter: If traveling for business, a letter from your company detailing the business purpose.

Bank statements: Recent statements (ideally 3–6 months) to show sufficient funds.

Proof of ties: Evidence of family, property, business ownership, or other commitments in Nigeria (e.g. land documents, title deeds, letter of student enrollment, etc.).

Civil documents: Birth certificates, marriage certificate, national ID or NIN, as applicable.

Fee Receipt: Evidence of payment of the visa application fee (the deposit slip or email confirmation from the bank/Quickteller).

Bring originals and keep copies. If any document isn’t in English, bring a certified English translation. Officials may check each item, so be thorough. (Immigrant visa instructions emphasize “bring all required original documents”  – apply the same care here.)

Important: Honest, consistent answers are critical. Do not lie or misrepresent on your DS-160 or in the interview – misrepresentation is a crime and will likely result in visa denial . The truth is always best. Be ready to explain how you will fund the trip, your exact itinerary, and especially your plans to return home after your visit.

DS-160 Form Guidelines

Use the CEAC Site: [/b]Access and fill the DS-160 at CEAC’s website . The form times out after 20+ minutes, so save frequently. Use a supported browser (Chrome, Firefox, IE11+).

[b]Complete All Sections: Provide complete names, dates, and addresses exactly as they appear on your passport and other documents. Include any previous US travel or visas.

Upload Photo: You will upload a digital photo. Make sure it meets the specifications (square, white background, no glasses). Some people find it easier to upload after submission and printing.

Review Carefully: Errors in names or other details can delay your application. If you do spot an error after submitting, fill a new DS-160 and submit that one. Then contact the embassy (via email or phone) to inform them, and bring both confirmation pages on interview day .

Print the Barcode: After you submit DS-160, you will see a confirmation with a barcode. Print this page. Do not print the full form – only the confirmation barcode page is required . You will present it at your appointment along with the Appointment Letter.

Matching DS-160 and Appointment: Keep in mind the new rules: the DS-160 barcode (the number starting with AA00…) must match the DS-160 used to schedule the appointment . Double-check at least two weeks before your interview that the barcode on your printed DS-160 is identical to what’s in your appointment profile . A mismatch could mean you’re not allowed into the consular section . If there is a mismatch, log in and request a correction at least 10 days before the interview .

Appointment and Interview Process

Scheduling: You can choose either the U.S. Embassy in Abuja or the Consulate in Lagos for your interview. (Note: Immigrant visa applicants now have two required visits to Lagos , but this does not apply to visitor visas.)

Before Interview: [/b]On the day of your interview, arrive early. Wear business-casual attire. Expect a security screening at the entrance (no phones, thick binder, food, etc. are allowed). You will then wait in the lobby until called.

[b]Biometrics: [/b]At the embassy/consulate, you will first have your fingerprints and digital photo taken. The officer will verify your appointment and documents.

[b]Interview: You will then meet the Consular Officer (VO). Be ready to explain clearly: why you are traveling (tourism, visiting relatives, etc.), when and for how long you will stay, where you will stay, who is paying for the trip, and why you will return to Nigeria after your visit. Common questions include:
• “What is the purpose of your trip?”
• “How long will you stay and where will you go?”
• “Who will you be visiting or who invited you?”
• “What do you do in Nigeria?” (employment, family)
• “How will you fund your trip?” (present bank statements, salary letter, etc.)
• “Do you have family in the U.S.?” (be truthful)
• Answer Tips: Speak clearly and confidently. Only volunteer relevant information and documentation. Honesty is crucial – as one Part 5 contributor reminds us, “the truth is always the best course of action” . If you do not know an answer, say so rather than guess.

Avoid Agents: Again, remember this is a do-it-yourself process . You do not need an agent or any special connections. Be prepared on your own.

If approved, the officer will keep your passport to print the visa. If additional processing is needed (administrative processing), you will receive a slip explaining the next steps. Otherwise, the passport will be returned via courier.

Checking Status & Retrieving Your Passport

Tracking: After the interview, you can often check your visa status online. Use the CEAC Visa Status Tracker: go to ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker , select Nonimmigrant Visa (NIV), and enter your DS-160 application ID. This will show if your visa is issued or if it is under processing.

OIS Courier: In Nigeria, the U.S. visa service is handled by OIS Services. Once your visa is issued, the passport is sent to OIS for delivery. You will receive an SMS/email notification with instructions. Schedule a pickup on the OIS portal at appointment.oisservices.com . Then collect your passport (and any returned documents) at one of the free DHL pickup locations:

Lagos (VI): Plot 230 Muri Okunola St., Victoria Island 

Abuja: Hafsat Plaza, 472 Abogo Largema St., CBD 
(Pickup hours are typically 10am–3pm, Mon–Fri.) Bring the pick-up appointment confirmation and a valid ID.

Passport Returned: If you do not pick up within a set time (usually 90 days), the passport is returned to the Embassy. Check your email/SMS for updates. If in doubt, contact the OIS contact center.

Recent Updates (2024–2026)

The visa process has seen some changes in the last couple of years. Key updates affecting Nigerian applicants include:

DS-160 Barcode Requirement (2025): Starting April 22, 2025, all U.S. visa applicants in Lagos and Abuja must bring a printed DS-160 form with the confirmation/barcode number (beginning “AA00…”) that exactly matches the one used to make their appointment . You also must schedule your appointment in the same city you chose on the DS-160. The embassy has emphasized that barcodes must match: check yours at least two weeks before your interview . You cannot reuse an old DS-160 from a prior application . If you find a mismatch, log into your appointment profile at least 10 days before and request a correction  (then reschedule; you may need to pay again if the fee payment has expired). Failure to follow these rules will mean you are not allowed into the consular section .

Appointment Locations: Prior to 2025, applicants could freely choose Lagos or Abuja on scheduling. The new rules tie that choice to your DS-160. Make sure to select the correct city on your DS-160 and at booking.

Embassy Operations: The U.S. Consulate in Lagos and Embassy in Abuja are fully operational again (post-pandemic). There is no “double visit” requirement for B1/B2 applicants – that rule applies to immigrant visas only .

Payment Options: Over the past few years, Nigeria introduced online payment via Quickteller (GTBank) and allowed mobile banking/USSD payments. Always check the latest instructions on the embassy website before paying, as bank partners can change.

Passport Pickup: As noted, passports are now delivered to OIS/DHL pickup centers; Embassy/Consulate pickup is no longer an option . This system has been in place since 2023–24.

For the very latest, always refer to official sources (below).

Information Subject to review by USA’s department of state

As of January 1, 2026, the U.S. government implemented a partial suspension on visa issuance to Nigerian nationals under Presidential Proclamation 10998. Applicants may still apply, schedule interviews, and attend their appointments, but visas may not be printed or issued for Nigerians outside the United States who did not hold valid visas before that date. This is an evolving policy subject to change.

Thank you

Okay I’ll do that now

JaySterling:
how many months did you spend there?

If you have a valid visa you can travel.

dere5:
It's unfortunate that this forum is gradually grinding to a halt

People aren’t just saying their plans publicly anymore. The publicity of the whole thing led to its halt.

Kolajero:
As some people have said that visa validity is now at discretion of the visa officer, can one quickly go and renew passport for like 10 years after PPR to see if one can get 10 year visa?

Or the validity period has already been decided before PPR.

I'm awaiting the outcome of my visitor visa application but the passport I submitted will expire in May 2027. That's why I'm asking this question.

This is correct it’s now discretionary

Nanyavikz:
Hello people,

Quick question please. I am thinking of applying for Canada visit visa for tourism. A friend just informed me that I will be denied because Canada does not approve applications on the basis of just tourism. Please guys how true is this? Please note I have travelled to the UK, Schengen and a few other countries. Must it be that I am attending a conference before my application is accepted?

Your friend just lied to you but it’s not their fault because you have all the available information via a google search but you still somehow think your friend is the correct one to disseminate the information to you.

Abu23Rahman:
He did biometric interview in December 2024, after the interview they gave him a print out and told him his next coming he should come with print out and his passport, since then he has been expecting feedback from email or messages, pls what can he do

Use the tracker to monitor your visa status. Also, request your login details from your agent.

isyourboy:
Hmm I will be waiting Debbie. Thank you so much

I just read that your education must benefit the USA in what they called “national interest” so u don’t have to go through the “PERM”

Please post. I thought I should be able to pull this off with my WAEC result

You possibly can’t with waec result.

You’ll need the following
The EB-1A (Employment-Based, First Preference, Extraordinary Ability) immigrant visa category in the U.S. is for individuals who can demonstrate extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics.

If you don’t have a major award, you must provide evidence of at least 3 of the following 10 criteria:
1. Receipt of lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards for excellence.
2. Membership in associations in the field which require outstanding achievement of their members.
3. Published material about you in professional or major trade publications or major media.
4. Participation as a judge (individually or on a panel) of the work of others in the same or related field.

Beholder007:
Hello guys
I want to make my company transfer me to the Ivory Coast branch of our office, so that I can go there, process a legitimate work residence permit and then a legit employment certificate for applying for a visa in Ivory Coast German embassy.

What are your thoughts about this?

You’ve really tried. Have you tried applying for Schengen visa for them? Maybe through one of those countries that aren’t over flogged?

JohnPhysics:
Hello everyone,

I received an Interview Letter (IL) in Germany, but my family is still in Nigeria. I had earlier applied for a family reunion visa and have been waiting for an appointment for 15 months. Hoping my employer could help, I transferred my case from Lagos to Germany. Now I have IL for myself but no visa appointment for my family.

I have tried every possible option:
• Requested embassy-to-embassy transfers to visa-free countries in Africa. Some ignored my request, others declined.
• Contacted the U.S. Embassy in Germany where I got IL. They said:
• They cannot advise me.
• If I want a transfer, I must first get approval from another embassy, and only then will Germany release the case.

I do not want to return my case to Lagos due to the unpredictable backlog. At this point, I see only two options:
1. Transfer back to Lagos (which I strongly want to avoid), or
2. Reschedule — but to when? Since I have no idea when the German Embassy in Nigeria will grant my family an appointment.

Getting a Schengen visa has also failed. Right now, I am running out of options and really need advice or assistance.

You can reach me privately at: johndamisa66@gmail.com

Thank you.
I

Instead of a reunion visa did you try a visit visa?

Masters and 4 years of experience.... EB-2NIW.

Seconded, EB2.

Traveller2025:
Hello everyone,

I am new to eb2 niw and eb1a. Not even sure which part I qualify for and I have been overwhelmed looking for information on this pathway to the US.
Kindly guide which pathway is best for me:

I have a masters degree in cybersecurity which I just completed
I have over three years experience cybersecurity but over 10 years working experience. I transitioned to cybersecurity recently.

Can someone guide how to even start this process and what to look out for. I see alpt of ads on social media but they ask for so much money to even speak with you.
Help me please

You already meet the basic requirement for EB-2 because you hold a Master’s degree. But for the National Interest Waiver (NIW) part, USCIS looks beyond the degree they want proof that your work has national importance and that you are well positioned in your field (for example, through publications, awards, certifications, conference talks, or recognized contributions). Since you are just starting out in cybersecurity, you don’t yet have enough evidence of that broader impact, so your case for EB-2 NIW would be considered weak right now. This is just my opinion.
You’re definitely not an EB1 candidate just yet.
