Does he need to cancel the existing appointment before proceeding to pay for another one because I’m in the same situation and it’s visiting visa. Thank you
DPO2019:
If your visa type is F1 no need to pay another MRV just coz you can reschedule. JUst request for EA when it is 60 days to your program start date but if it is not F1 then you might have to pay another MRV if you want a closer date. You will need a new AVITS account with another email for the new MRV.

Good evening all
As someone living in Nigeria is it effective to pay for the visa fee through first bank? Hope no issues as against credit/debit cards
TravelRe: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Deziri20:
Good afternoon all, I mistakenly rescheduled a visa date from July 2025 to April 2026 and that’s the last attempt. I need to pay a new visa fee for same applicant, how do I go about it? Do I need to cancel current appointment before I make payment? Also how much is the visa fee in naira?
TravelRe: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Deziri20: 12:30am On Feb 26, 2025
Dates are available in Abuja and Lagos on AVITS at the moment note Lagos is 2026 while Abuja is from August 2025

Hi,

If she is going visiting, she does not need medicals.

She should get ready for questions such as:
1. the address she is going in the US and who she is visiting (eg if she will be accommodated by loved ones)
2. how long she is going to spend in the US and her exact departure date
3. what activities she has planned while visiting

Eg I will be visiting my eldest daughter in Boston and spending 3 weeks with her. She intends to show me around her city and some popular tourists sites such as....
As much as possible, make sure her story tallies with what was in her application.

She should have the following ready, though they may not be requested for inspection:
1. Her return ticket
2. Proof of funds

These can be in electronic format eg flight ticket on her phone, a loaded bank card.

She will also complete a declaration form asking her to declare the amount of cash she is carrying (if it is above 10000USD) and if she is carrying agricultural produce. To avoid headaches, check for prohibited items eg beef products like pomo and she shouldn't bother carrying them.

Finally, a great tip- whenever she lands, right at the airport, she can connect to free wifi to keep in touch with whoever is picking her up from the airport.

Hi all

Please, have you received any migration email?
yes long time ago. Done interview already
TravelRe: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Deziri20: 8:14am On Feb 16, 2025
Create a ticket on the AVITS platform and upload a confirmation page for your new DS160, they will take it up from there and update accordingly. One can no longer update on their own like on the previous website
Shofat4real:
Good evening friends. Please as there is no icon for updating DS 160 on the new Avit site. I have already registered on the old site but currently I want to make few changes on my profile. Please can i get a work through on how to go about update of information on the new Avit site? Thank you.

Congratulations
When tracking the passport status on OIS website what option did you choose US VISA right?
solihp:
My dad’s visa was approved in Abuja. In the forms, I indicated that I was sponsoring him and I put my address as where he would be staying, also my dad is widowed. Here’s the questions he was asked.

VO: Where are you going to?
Dad: I am going to (*insert a US state*) to visit my last daughter

VO: Do you have other children?
Dad: I have two others, one works in Abuja and she brought me here and the other works in (*inserts another Nigerian state*)

VO: have you travelled out before
Dad: Yes, I’ve been to Germany and the UK (note: I wrote no in his form because these travels were not in the last 5years) but the VO didn’t ask if it was in the last 5years

VO: when did you travel to those places
Dad: in the late 1980s and early 1990s

VO: I will be approving your visa.

His visa was approved on a Thursday, it changed to issued on Friday and when I checked on Monday on the OIS platform, his passport was ready for pickup.
TravelRe: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Deziri20: 12:39am On Feb 08, 2025
Aside the ds160 confirmation page
Appointment printout from AVITS and visa payment receipt, they didn’t ask her for any other document
THUNDER4real:
conngrats, do you know what documents they asked her to present at the interview?
TravelRe: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Deziri20: 12:37am On Feb 08, 2025
No idea though the first attempt she went with my dad so we were just guessing that could be the reason they denied them. Not too sure
Cappie:
Hello, Congratulations. Please do you happen to know why she was denied the first time? is it something she said or didn't say. Did they ask her for anything?Thank you for your time.

My mum’s visa was approved yesterday in Lagos, and it still feels surreal. This was her second attempt we applied for B2 visa category for her and unlike the first time, everything happened so quickly. We got to the embassy, and in less than 20 minutes, she was done.

Here’s how the conversation went:

VO: Good morning.
Mum: Good morning! How are you doing?
VO:Why are you traveling to the U.S.?
Mum: To visit my daughter, she just had a baby.
VO: How long do you plan to stay?
Mum: Two months.
VO: How did your daughter move to the U.S.? Mum: She got married and relocated.
VO: Are you married? If so, why isn’t your husband traveling with you?
Mum: Yes, I’m legally married. My husband and I agreed that I should be the one to go, while he stays back with one of our children in Nigeria until I return.
VO: Are you planning to get any medical treatment while in the U.S.?
Mum: No, not at all.
VO:How many children do you have?
Mum: Six, but sadly, one recently passed on.
VO: How many of them are in the U.S.?
Mum: Just one. The rest are here in Nigeria.
VO: What do you do for a living?
Mum: I’m a retired teacher.
VO: Who is funding your trip?
Mum: My daughter the one I’m visiting.
VO: What does she do?
*Mum: She’s a nurse.
VO: How long has she been in the U.S.?
Mum: 8yrs.
VO: Is this her first child? If not, why didn’t you travel to see her when she had the first one?
Mum: No, this is her second child. She had her first in 2022, but my visa was denied back then.

At this point, the officer started typing, then suddenly excused herself for a moment. When she returned, she asked again:

VO: Are you sure you’re not going to the U.S. for medical treatment?
Mum: I’m very sure.

Then, the officer smiled and said, “I’ll be approving your visa. I hope you have a wonderful time with your daughter.”

My mum smiled back and said, “Thank you so much.”

Thanks to Nairaland I gained a lot of information on this thread that was helpful

Good evening nairalanders

I do not know if we are the only ones (myself and friend) yet to receive a mail to onboard on the new website. Don't know if it is right to go ahead and create a profile on the new platform

Regardless of what you pick your visa will still be B1/B2 . You can then use the visa for both categories as ypu wish
Thank you

OyoTunjiUSA:
Hey 🤠


1. Choose B2 only. Don't choose B1/B2.

2. If for example a company is sending you abroad on a conference (B1) and after the conference you want to use the opportunity to visit a dentist (B2) , then you can choose both B1/B2.

I sincerely appreciate you for taking your time to explain


Best Wishes 🙏
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Deziri20: 11:03am On May 07, 2024
OyoTunjiUSA:
Hey 🤠


1. In specific term, B2 is what you are going to choose (online or when paying for visa fee).

2. A foreign national traveling to the United States for tourism needs a visitor visa (B-2). Tourism is a short visit for vacation, for visiting family and
friends, OR for medical treatment (B-2) as stated by @Candybright.

3. B-1 is for business (conference, etc). But USA embassy most of the time usually issue the 2 categories together in order for the beneficiary to juggle between according to purpose of travel.


Best Wishes 🙏
Thank you but please your response is kind of ambiguous for me because the confusion is circled around choosing just B2 visa only or B1/B2 on CGI portal
