Good day everyone. You guys are doing a great job. Though, my question is not F1-related, I figured I might be able to get some answers here.

Please my auntie's B1/B2 visa was approved last Tuesday but she hasn't seen any updates yet on the AVITS portal to track her passport. Please, how long does it typically take to see updates after interview? She was told 5 days by the VO but now it is 9 days. Are there other ways to see this update? Thank you for your help

Hi.
I just got my I20 from Murray state university to study Public Administration with concentration in public health. My undergraduate program is Law. I have 8 years experience in law practice and I intend to go with my 2 kids and spouse. Please what are my chances of visa approval? My sister inlaw, my husbands sister is sponsoring, a pharmacist in Georgia USA. Please guys help, as am scared of the outcome.

Replied you.

Hello Nairalanders,

Please advice! I am trying to schedule an appointment for myself F1 and my kids F2. How do I proceed to generate an amentum reference number for my dependents (F2). I have already paid my visa fee and I am the stage of booking appointment. My appointment scheduling was approved. Not sure how to proceed with my F2 to ensure we get the same appointment date. Should I complete my own appointment and start a fresh application for my F2? If yes, can my F2 (kids) use my Avits profile for their application?

If your resumption date is far,probably Fall, you may take your first approach. But if time is of essence, you'd have to create profiles for them using other emails. This way you can choose dates at the same time after they get past preapproval.... probably with different devices.

PROBLEM IS IT DIDNT DISPLAY THE NEW PASSWORD SCREEN WHERE U CAN ENTER NEW PASSWORD SO U CAN SAVE THE NEW PASSWORD. THE LINK ALWAYS GOES TO THE LOGIN PAGE

Any luck?

I changed my password also when it was about to expire. I didn't have any issues. After the change was successful, I tried logging in immediately and it accepted the new password. I was able to view my dashboard board and all.

Hello,

Pls I'd really appreciate if anyone can send a screenshot of available dates for Abuja? 🙏

Thank you in advance.

Greetings to you.
Normally, the school sends the i20 together, starting with the F1. Though, it's together but you will send it separately by splitting it. You will upload the one of f2 with one starting with f2. Hope you understand.

Thank you so much.

JulietteO:
Hello. Good afternoon. I sent you an email, I really need to ask you some questions regarding this. Please, I hope you don’t mind.

I replied. You can send.

ademlabi:
I'm applying for F1 visa, and i can not get a visa appointment for myself and my 2 kids. Can someone kindly explain how to go about securing an appointment? Do i have to apply separately the same time or is there a way to apply together. Kindly advise.

Best to apply separately. There is no group application in Nigeria for now

MiracleOla4433:
For the I20, we submitted separately. But in all the f2 I20, the F1 name and details is also there.

I appreciate your response.

I understand applying individually. I did that as well based on your advice to someone else in an earlier post. Thank you for that. The I-20 you submitted for each of the application contains both F1 and F2 details, right?

For further clarification in my case, there are 3 dependents(F2). So whilst filling for an F2 whose information on the I-20 is on pages 9 -12 and we have 15pages, we'd have to submit all pages 1-15, right?

Thank you.

MiracleOla4433:
The new Avits portal doesn't allow group appointment.
I'm F2 and my husband is F1 and we have a Son that is F2 too. We wanted to book it one by one before but someone advised we should book it separately with different phones or laptop and that was what we did. This is the 6th week and they haven't approved any of us yet and if we do it one by one, there is no how we would have meet up. I advise you pay her visa fee and fill her Ds 160 form with different phone or laptop and when it's time to book appointment, you can book it together and go to the interview together.



This is just a suggestion.

Hello, pls have you gotten to the point where you have to upload I-20s? If yes, pls did you send all the I-20s together for each person (as they come together in one, I mean F1 and F2 as one) or were you able to separate them and send individually as it pertains to the separate applications?

Thank you for your response.

Pls anyone who has a dependent and has submitted their I-20 can kindly give answers too. Thank you.🙏

ibroh22:
Not sure of question 1 but for question 2, you don’t need to fill any new DS-160

Thank you for your response.

I meant adding an F2 dependent -for a minor, (adding my child in my application as the only option there is "adult". I was asking how to go about that, if any one has tried doing so.

.

For anyone still having "Invalid DS-160 confirmation number", cancel pending appointment and start all over after filling a new DS-160 form. That's what worked for me.

I have the following questions, pls if you can, I'd appreciate responses.

1. Pls, if anyone has successfully added applicant on this new platform (a child, to be specific), kindly share how.

2. Just to confirm, if the interview date is after the intended date of travel filled on the DS-160 form, is it advisable to fill another DS-160 form and take along on the interview date?

Thank you.

Chemist4life:
Hi @jone ...I also encountered the invalid ds160 confirmation number but I was able to scale tru the stage to the extent of getting a date ...just back it up with prayer

Yes, I remember reading the good news and congratulating you on it.

Thank you.

Good afternoon, pls is there anyone here who filled their DS-160 form after Nov 21st that has scaled through F1 application? Probably at the payment phase or preapproval? I'd also like to know if your DS-160 confirmation number started with "AA00E....".

I have been having issues since the above date and have not gotten any headway despite chatting, calling and raising a ticket. I just finished chatting with a customer support and he said it's been resolved. I tried filling another DS-160 form as he advised yet same issue. My intended date of travel is Dec 22nd. I'm thinking of cancelling the appointment request and starting all over again. Pls, will that help? Has anyone been in this position?

Chemist4life:
I just checked now,my preapproval request have been approved

Congratulations!

Pls can anyone help with the Abuja embassy email? Thank you.

osadestiny:
Create a ticket with them and let them know the problem you are going through. Don’t forget to include your DS-160 confirmation number on the ticket and upload a screenshot of the "Invalid DS-160 number" They should be able to resolve it for you. I don’t know why the website has been trash and giving people different problems. From one problem to another.

Thank you for your advice. I already created a ticket last week, I uploaded a screenshot of the error page with my details included. I'm yet to hear from them. I chatted with a service operator on Friday who apologised and told me I'd get a mail soon. No mail yet. I'd reach out to them later this morning.

Chemist4life:
Nope,is a general issue not even nigeria alone with ds-160 confirmation number starting with "AA00E" ....I was able to scale true last week

Ok. Thank you. I've been trying morning, afternoon(sometimes) and night since November 21st. Hopefully, I get through soonest.

Chemist4life:
I also encounter the invalid ds-160 confirmation number but was rectify last week, I was able to pass the stage last week 21st but still on preapproval

Pls did you reach out to them or how did you go about it? This is December and I'm still stuck there.

Cityonline03:
I have same problem and so do many others across the world right now. I saw a similar complaint on Reddit and the best explanation so far is to wait some days for the AVITS support guys to upload the set of ds-160 confirmation numbers that have "E" in the middle e.g. AA00E....

I actually changed mine from E to D and C and the error cleared so I align with this explanation. I also see that virtually every complaint I have seen online so far has an E in the number.

I hope it resolves soon.

Hello. Thank you for this information. I noticed days ago someone said it's working now but it's not the same over here. Pls, have you gotten any headway? I got the same response twice when I chatted with their service operators- "AA00E....." issues. Afterwards, i raised a ticket. Still waiting for a response from them. Do we keep waiting? I've been trying to apply since the 21st of November.
