abusigna:Thank you for sharing your experience. Was it recent? And did you get a date immediately your request was approved? I have been trying to get a date since the emergency appointment was approved, to no avail. The US Consulate's call rep I talked to mentioned that the date issue is general for now but I should keep checking. |

KolaSteven: An update on this is that I got my emergency request approved yesterday, about 3 working days after applying. One thing I'm a bit puzzled about, though... I was prompted to reschedule and choose one of the new available dates. But upon checking my portal, I kept getting no dates available for over 12 hours now. For those that have expedited before, is this a common occurrence? |

meetme01: Yes, I did. But I got processed my visit visa via the Italian embassy though. I was in Italy for a week, then went to Germany the second week. |

TopZionQueen: Wow! This is really warm! I wasn't so sure that I might find another Nigeria-based Nigerian that's scheduled to attend. I'll save your number rightaway but due to pressing deadlines, I have my WhatsApp uninstalled right now. I'll drop you a message whenever I log back in, but in the meantime, should we talk via email? kolawolesteven99ATgmailDOTcom is my email address. |

Arry110: Thank you for this. I have confirmed myself. I think I qualify for "Urgent business travel". ML Research is my career and the chance to present and speak at the most prestigious conference in my field will be a big boost to my growth. |

Travel / Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by KolaSteven(m): 2:56pm On Sep 15, 2022 |
Hello folks, I want to travel on to the US for a week from November 27th to attend the most prestigious academic conference in my field (Artificial Intelligence) and its location changes every year. And I want to know if it's still quite feasible to apply for the needed B-1 visa or if I should save my strength and scrap the plans. My workshops papers are still under review but if accepted (will.know by Oct. 20), I'll be presenting two research papers at 2 workshops at the conference. I am also invited as a keynote speaker for one of the workshops at the conference. Can I request an expedited appointment slot on this basis? My profile: - I am a final-year undergrad in Nigeria - Previous travels: Italy, Germany, Tunisia - all of them earlier this year, and in the process of getting another Schengen visa to speak at a tech conference in Lithuania in early November. - Fundings: I'll be funding myself. Might still get a scholarship or something but I won't know until close to the date. Considering the close timeline, do I still have a a realistic chance of getting an appointment slot/visa in time to go to the US? Looking forward to your responses. Thank you! |

Rinthuspp: Hi, So I went today and apparently, walk-in appointments are not for first-timers (those without a previous UK, US or Schengen visa before). But since I have a very strong reason to go and come back , I stayed to argue with them. They've suggested that I should come again on Monday before 8am and they'll consider it again, but usually no first-timers for walk-in. |

Hi, I am going to TLSContact for my walk-in appointment tomorrow morning. Happened that I need the coloured photocopy of my passport for my business (conference) visa application, but they only do black n white at my location. I am wondering if there's a place to do coloured photocopies around the location. Thank you |

Rinthuspp: Hi, I called their customer care line and the representative told me that I can come for a walk-in appointment. I'm trying to gather all my application documents before going (and getting a no-objection letter from my school has been difficult due to the ongoing strike). I'd go tomorrow but there's holiday so I'd on Friday. |

Travel / Re: Italian Student Visa-help! by KolaSteven(m): 4:51pm On Apr 15, 2022 |
Nancyama: Thank you, Nancyama. I just did and turns out that the earliest date for my appointment would be the 26th of May. The conference starts on June 2 so that's way too close since I'd have to allow 15days for visa processing. Is there anything I could do to fast-track the appointment date or something? |
Travel / Re: Italian Student Visa-help! by KolaSteven(m): 3:28pm On Apr 15, 2022 |
One thing I am confused about... I am going to Italy for a tech conference and the organizers will be footing my accommodation, feeding, and part of my flight fees. I also volunteer to assist with the conference organization so I'd be a conference staff too. What sort of Schengen visa would I be applying for? Business or Tourism? |
Travel / How Do I Book A Schengen Visa Appointment With The German Embassy, Lagos? by KolaSteven(m): 11:01am On Apr 15, 2022 |
Goodday NLers, I have a tech conference coming up in Berlin by June where I'm confirmed to speak and I understand that I'd be needing a Schengen visa for my travels. Due to this, I have been checking the Lagos Embassy's Schengen Visa appointment slot booking page (https://service2.diplo.de/rktermin/extern/appointment_showMonth.do) for more than a week, but I always have the "no appointments available at this time" prompt. How do you folks usually book your Schengen Visa Appointment with the Germany Consulate General in Lagos? |
Travel / Re: Need A German Visa Appointment ASAP. How Do I Go About It? by KolaSteven(m): 9:50am On Mar 29, 2022 |
Mide3367: Yeah, you are right. I had an inkling that I'd probably travel a lot this year since last year and I duly applied for the passport last year's August in Abeokuta. But I went through the DIY route and it got delayed since no immigration official was paid to help me push it forward. Hopefully, a mod helps push this to the front-page |

Travel / Need A German Visa Appointment ASAP. How Do I Go About It? by KolaSteven(m): 12:27am On Mar 29, 2022 |
Hello NLers, I have a tech conference coming up in Berlin between April 11 to April 13, and I am scheduled as a speaker there. I just got my invitation letter from the organization in charge of the conference a few hours ago (due to my passport production being delayed) and I have filled out the Schengen Visa application form. I also understand all the other docs needed for the appointment and how to get them. Unfortunately, when I tried to schedule an appointment using this link (https://service2.diplo.de/rktermin/extern/appointment_showMonth.do?locationCode=lago&realmId=347&categoryId=564&dateStr=19.03.2022), I discovered that there's no appointment slot right till the end of April. Is there any other way I could go about this? I already gave my word that I'll be at the conference. NB: This is the first time I'd be traveling beyond Nigeria - I have mostly had my events virtually due to the pandemic. Thank you! |
Travel / What is the Most Effective Way To Travel From Abeokuta To Lafia? by KolaSteven(m): 3:05pm On Mar 11, 2022 |
Hi NLers, I'd be traveling to Lafia, Nassarawa from Abeokuta, Ogun by the end of this month for a 3-day AI Summit and I wish to enquire about the most efficient way to travel there while being equally cost-effective (I'm still a student so I'm quite mindful of the costs too ). I'd still need to worry about accommodation too, but a step at a time. I look forward to your helpful replies. Note that I could do the travel from Lagos too if need be. Thank you! |
Phones / Phone Suggestion (one Presumably Better Than Poco X3 Pro) For A 150k Budget by KolaSteven(m): 4:53pm On Mar 08, 2022 |
Hello NLers, I am currently looking at getting a new phone and I have 150k naira to splurge on a new phone. Any suggestions on a good phone to buy? Note that I prioritize performance and phone's longetivity over camera. A friend already suggested Poco X3 pro (I find the processor spec quite wonderful, but I wonder if there's another phone out there that might outdo it in other areas without compromising much on processor), and another suggested Redmi Note 11 pro (processor not as great as X3 pro, but other amazing features. A little bit over my budget but might still be doable). Looking forward to your awesome suggestions and the whys to your suggestions. Thank you! |

Travel / Re: Cost Of A Nigeria International Passport by KolaSteven(m): 5:21pm On Jan 27, 2022 |
A bit urgent! So I have been following up with the NIS facebook page concerning my fresh passport that I have done capturing for since August 18th at the Abeokuta office. I ranted to the handler yesterday and that I would be needing it very soon (in about a month's time), so the handler suggested that I pay extra for express. I just want your opinion if this won't be a scam before I proceed. I am honestly tired of waiting. It's already 5 and half months. 1 Like |
