Eyahh so sorry about the interview....What is your travel history if u work in a reputable O&G firm and ur well travelled,
my Advice will be that u go for the interview with your family as the sponsor...as regards getting an expedited date, u can search using the space untop of the thread,cause i have read a few success stories about that....Goodluck papa!!!

I Really wish i could but at the moment i am not around and would't be anytime soon.

Thanks for your concern.

Dear @Lagosniv and @Abujaniv.

My wife and my daughter interview was scheduled for 3rd of October but they were late to embassy due to heavy traffic which lead to expiration of their Bar-code, we requested for the expedite which was granted, also we seized the opportunity to pay for and to include my son in the expedite appointment which was scheduled for today.

At the screening, my son was not screened because he wasn't part of the first application. unfortunate the Visa was denied and i wish to pay for another Visa fee for the two of them since my son's fee will be reverted.

Please i want to know if they can still be granted an expedite date the second time because my wife appointment date at hospital in Chicago is 13th of December, EDD 9th of january and the next available date has even gone beyond that.

Thanks.

Please House i need your advice on this before i proceed to pay for another Visa fee.

Hi guys I saw this and thought it might help someone out. The price seems reasonable!

JUST CHECK NOW. IT'S NOT TRUE.

Hello House. Please Help me on these, i sought assistance here two days ago about my wife missing her appointment due to traffic. the ticket has be returned but i was told i could'nt use it for expedite except i pay for another visa fee.

the nearest available date is 21st of November, my Wife due date is late December or early January and i planned to let them travel last week November to be on a safer side.

what can i do to get an early date? i refreshed yesterday but session was timed out till this morning. today I'm almost reaching the maximum time again.

Please Help me out. May God bless you all.

PLEASE WHATS THE IMPLICATION OF THIS?

shrekandfiona:
4 days to give the system time to revert the visa fee receipt so it can be used again for rescheduling.

I guess you can add your son to theirs since they are rescheduling. Fill his form , pay his fee and add him to your wife's profile b4 she books the date.

Thanks a lot.

Good Day Gurus in the House, Please i need your Help on this; My wife and daughter interview was this morning but she was late to the venue therefore asked to reschedule for the appointment after four days, she was also told to choose Emergency date because she have to travel December to give Birth and it seems November is almost Occupied.

Thanks and God bless

Good Morning House, Please i need your assistance on this.
I am filling DS-160 form for my wife and daughter now, she want to give birth in US, we have nobody she will stay with, she will rent a temporary accommodation (in town).

Please at the section "Contact address in US" should i put the hospital address since i can't make reservation now, if yes what about my daughter, will i also use hospital address for her? thanks a lot.

jamjam5000: i will appreciate the breakdown. i will be heading Tamper by October.

LadyGuinivere:
@ hamdatn your plan A is better. Travel with the whole family ist. Give it a Bit of time before reapplying. Sorry for the waste of 200k in these. Hard times.
So it would be better to actually get a change in circumstance before blowing that money again. Delay is not denial

Thanks so much Lady G. may God reward your efforts.

Please like how much month before i apply again? the essence was to celebrate my babies one year which i will compensate them for by booking Dubai trip but it's like my wife and statues of liberty has a relationship i am not aware of *smile* i had proposed Dubai earlier but she really want to go to US, she was suppose to give birth in US but due to some medical circumstances, we couldn't apply for it but trust me i really want to satisfy her.
Thanks.

Good evening all, please I'm sorry if I'm asking too much question.

Please I just booked appointment for me my wife and my two children, I thought I will have to schedule the appointment individually so I started with my daughter, never knew I've made her the host. Please is there a way I can swap this? I.e making me the host. Thanks

OmoBendel24:
@the bolded, has the form changed for FEMALES? Where in the world did you see that question while filling "her" form and then answered "NO"? Surprised though, change is permanent. Well, just fill out another form and use the new DS160 form number to book appointment if you haven't, and if you have, kindly do a DS160 form swap via the customer service unit of the embassy. Regards

Anyway thanks. I wasn't really sure I saw the question but I saw it when filling mine so I thought I must have ticked no.

arclexical:
This is no problem, I noticed mistake in mine after booking an appointment. N:B: you can't make adjustment to an electronically signed and submitted DS160.
Here is what I did...I filled a new DS160 form got a new confirmation page and code, discarded the old one where I made mistake. Then proceeded to my profile on the consulate website and changed the DS160 confirmation code, So I printed a fresh appointment letter and DS160 confirmation page.
I hope this has been helpful?

Thanks for the swift response. May God bless you.

Good morning gurus in the house, please I just filled and submitted ds 160 form for me, my wife and our babies but I made two mistakes on my wife form, first she schooled in Ghana and had visited Liberia in the last five years but I mistakenly tick no for her outside Nigeria visit, secondly she has a distance relative in US ( though we are not visiting anybody) I also ticked no for answer.
Please is there a way of correcting these mistakes after submmision?
Thanks and God bless you all

Thanks and God bless.

LadyGuinivere:
U just answered yourself. Nobody knows. Read the transcripts. Evaluate yourself based on statistics

Please any help on this?

My status : married, work in oil and gas sector, salary 506K, I have no travel experience, my wife school in Ghana and she has been to Liberia too.

I know it's not the decision of this forum to tell my eligibility but do I stand a good chance?
