you line up at the collection line and you show them collection slip at the entrance. You don't need to go deep with them at the entrance, then you proceed to the collection counter and explain your situation. No implications, if your application hasn't been decided after the urgent need of your passport, you must return the passport also if your application application has been decided without rejection letter, you must return the passport to receive the decision.

Thank you very much. I appreciate the response.
Will get this done tomorrow.

dirolad:
you can visit the TLS/VAC where you did the Biometrics on how to temporarily withdraw your passport for urgent use, and will return it back as soon as you are done with the urgent need of it. Kindly do that fast. Don't leave until they sort it out for you there. Be patient with them there with respect as you address the situation.

Thank you for the response. Is it possible to temporarily withdraw it without any implications?

Also, what’s the process of entering without an appointment?

Good morning.
I need advice from someone in the house.

I have an interview at the US embassy on Thursday and my passport is still with UKVI. I have called and emailed severally but it’s still the same response. At this rate, I wouldn’t be able to get the passport before Thursday.
Has anyone been in this situation before?
Is it possible to show up at the US embassy without the passport and be given another date.

I cannot afford to reschedule as the dates available are now 2024!

Please help. Thank you

The application is the same for domestic workers as it is for anyone else. So yes, a contact must be listed.

Dear VO,
Thank you for the info. I reapplied immediately, she had d interview 2weeks after the first one and visa granted!

Is my domestic worker supposed to have a contact in the US as this is also required on the DS 160
The contact person filled was my contact as she knows no one, she was asked for name and address of where she was going to stay in the US. She mentioned state and didn't know the address considering she's not very good in speaking English. This was where she was handed the blue paper and denied on basis of 214B

abujaniv:
Hello Faree28. As we indicated recently, we hardly ever split up the B1/B2 categories. If an applicant applies for one and is qualified, we usually authorize both.

There is no 90-day rule about reapplying. That said, an applicant should deeply consider whether their circumstances have changed or they have fresh information to offer before applying again.

Agreed! Thank you

One last question- Domestic worker visa accompanying a person with a passport with visa waiver should be B1 and cannot be B1/B2 as earlier done. Kindly advise

abujaniv:
Hello Faree28. Domestic employees (nannies, stewards, cooks, chauffeurs, etc.) must over come the presumption of immigrant intent like everyone else applying for a tourist visa. On top of that, they must satisfy the conditions described in the website we cited. Principally, they must show a contract stipulating that the employee will be paid and protected to US standards, and we must be reasonably sure that the employer will abide by the contract. The power dynamic is tilted heavily toward the employer, and we must be vigilant against exploitation.

Thank you for the info abujaniv.

I quite understand better now. She demanded for an interpreter also but was told to communicate in the little she could speak. I also expected that details of the sponsor could have been looked at too.

Is it OK to reapply for the B1 immediately as travel date is 1st May. I am actually just in a fix now. This would be against the norm of waiting for 90days. Hoping for a better experience for her

abujaniv:
Greetings Faree28. Please consult this website:

Dear VO,
Thank you for the help.

My nanny was refused the visa.
She told the officer there was a contract but he did not get to view it.

None of my documents for sponsorship/travel documents were requested also.

Another thing I need to clarify was that the application made was for B1/B2, maybe I kindly ask that would domestic employee be strictly B1 and could this be the cause of refusal as a wrong category was chosen?

Travel period is soon and I plan on reapplying for her ASAP. I would appreciate clarifications please

Thank you VO
Does this contract need to be signed by a lawyer? Or just by both of us

Thank you

Hello VO.

Applied for a tourist visa for my nanny to accompany my daughter and I on vacation.

What other documents do I need to send apart from my passport page, letter of sponsorship, bank statements

Also what does she need to bring along as supporting documents since I would be the one sponsoring the trip.

Hi. Please is there anyone in LA right now? I'd like to meet up perhaps. Thanks.

Btw Virgin Atlantic requires a form to be filled by your doctor before you fly and I think after 34-36 weeks they won't carry you.

Hi. Where exactly are you?

Hello people.

Any June mum in the house heading to LA?
