U lucky, but won’t u fall into the 3 months visa category and single entry
TravelRe: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Lethhhgooo: 12:26am On Jul 21, 2025
Please does anyone know how the new VISA validity date is determined with the new policy?

Will your VISA validity be based on the date of your visa approval or the date of travel.

For example if my interview is in August but I plan to travel in December, will my validity start from August or start from December?
TravelRe: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Lethhhgooo: 6:28am On May 26, 2025
Thank you so much for providing clarity.

Option 10 is the use case for me here. My parents are visiting, so I want to make sure all the required documents are covered, and to also have some transcripts in hand.

Hello.

I'm sorry but your kind is the one who goes for visa interview with bad information because your question is too vague (it has no information to direct you) for accurate guidance.

Naturally most B2 (visit for pleasure & Tourism) visa applicants does not need (almost) any documentation when attending an interiew while some B1 (visit for business) might need to show some documents. However, almost all visa applicants are required to strongly displayed POF (Proof Of Funds) , and POT (Proof Of Ties) in their visa application despite the fact that the visa officer may not ask for physcal evidence (depending on each applicant's situation).


If we combine the two together (B1/B2), you will discover that one need to be specific when asking for a visa direction ie , 1. Conference/Seminars, 2. Attending for Business Negotiation, 3. Wedding, 4. Graduation, 5. Burial ceremony/Corpse Repatriation, 6. Pre-enrollment visits (colleges & Universities) 7. Xmas/Leave holidays, 8. Church/Religious activities, 9. Visiting to purchase goods, 10. Visiting parents, spouse, children, partners etc, 11. Going on trial (sportig activities), etc.

So, do you need documents & past visa interviews (transcripts) for all of the aforementioned categories ? 👍

Hello friends.

Does anyone know the list of all the required documents for an interview Visa Office?

Also, can anyone provide a document with past/previous VISA interview transcripts? And if there is a WhatsApp group I would love to join also, please feel free to message me directly.

Any group suggestions for tracking interview dates?

Visa Approved

Fri, Jan 15. 8:00 am

Me: Good Morning

VO: Can I have your I-20 and passport, please?

Me: (Hands over required documents)

VO: Why are you going to the US

Me: To pursue a Masters degree in Information science at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock

VO: (Takes a look at my I-20). I see you have an assistantship, what will you be doing during your assistantship?

Me: I will be working as a Software Developer under the dept, on a social media analytics tool as part of a project called COSMOS

VO: Is the funding for a semester or the entire program?

Me: It's full funding that covers my tuition and offers monthly stipends to the tune of Bleep amount(Me trying to play safe as the assistantship offer is renewed every semester based on performance. It can actually be terminated, just like a regular job offer, cos that's what it is)

VO: (Nods head in unison)Why are you taking this course?

Me: I'm taking this course from a problem-solving perspective, from my years of experience working as a Product Manager, I have spotted a data problem in diverse sectors in Nigeria, finance, governance etc. I intend to use the skills and knowledge gained from this course to build a solution around this(I probably mentioned some examples like credit rating and insurance but let's keep it short)

VO: Are you married?

Me: No

VO: Have you traveled outside of Nigeria?

Me: No


VO: You don't have any problems, I will be approving your VISA. Take your(inaudible)


Summary: It seemed like a good day at the Embassy, I'm not particularly sure if people got approved or denied as I wasn't paying too much attention. But the VO seemed nice, and from the tone I was hearing over the speakers, they all sounded friendly enough to approve VISAs.

Thanks to everyone that shared their transcripts, God bless you.

Good day guys.

Pls can you have your COVID test about a week before you travel. Or is there a requirement that states a specific duration before traveling, when it should be done
TravelRe: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by Lethhhgooo: 7:09pm On Jan 10, 2021
Thanks. If I may ask, in what medical center did you take the test and how much did it cost?

Nwaada:
Depends on the airline. I used Qatar airlines and they requested for COVID test
TravelRe: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 16 by Lethhhgooo: 1:18pm On Jan 10, 2021
Has anyone here recently traveled to the USA? I would like to know if there were any COVID-19 test requirements before your flight or on arrival and how you went about it. Please indicate cost implications also.
TravelRe: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Lethhhgooo: 11:29am On Dec 12, 2020
I am going to UALR

majorstark:
Hello house

Anyone going to University of Arkansas, Little Rock or knows anyone in Arkansas State should please reachout.
TravelRe: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Lethhhgooo: 8:55am On Dec 04, 2020
Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about it. Just reach out to your school and inform them. My school has given me till Feb 2nd to resume campus. The semester starts Jan 12th and my interview was moved to Jan 15th so I'd probably miss early registration and some classes but what can mans do? We just gotta roll with it.

Emeritusseun:
Even at that, changing one's date from 11th December , 2020 to 15th January, 2021, that's like by a month!
E be thing
TravelRe: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Lethhhgooo: 10:22am On Dec 03, 2020
I got the email 4 times within the space of an hour. It really looks sus

AkinOseni:
As noted by someone recently, it seems something is amiss. Check the attached mail I received from them yesterday.

Tomorrow is not 11th December as stated in the email. More so , if the embassy is not opening on the dates quoted in the emails sent to respective applicants , the consequence should not be a four-week extension for all. But I suggest we call them today and vehemently emphasize our starting dates. Perhaps they will address the issue.

Good morning all.

Hello everyone,
My interview for tomorrow Dec 3 was just rescheduled for the second time(but still a date in December). Please is there anyone else whose interview date for tomorrow got rescheduled?
Also, can anyone please share the contact number for the cgi guys.
Thanks
My interview for next Friday too also got rescheduled for Jan 15th. A friend's interview for Friday also got rescheduled for Jan 6th. What is this sorcery?
TravelRe: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Lethhhgooo: 4:53pm On Nov 19, 2020
First one was automatically canceled cos I rescheduled for an earlier date after I didn't get a response from them for about a week. Do you know when these new dates usually appear?

Chonco:
That means you got a mail telling you that the first application was denied?
TravelRe: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Lethhhgooo: 4:48pm On Nov 19, 2020
Do you have an idea when these dates usually become available?

Chonco:
Okay. You need to relax and keep checking for dates. It'll appear soon and once it appears, you can go ahead and schedule.
TravelRe: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Lethhhgooo: 2:49pm On Nov 19, 2020
I already booked an emergency request with it but then they wanted me to book another date and then request another emergency appointment. But this meant I had to pay another fee.

Chonco:
What happened to the first fee?
TravelRe: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Lethhhgooo: 2:39pm On Nov 19, 2020
Paid the MRV fee twice. They denied the emergency request still. It's based on the capacity they can handle right now.

They just sent me this


Chonco:
You have been denied getting an emergency date or?


I believe you must have paid your visa fee already. If yes, you need to fill in the DS160 form, book any appointment date you see on your screen. After that, go ahead and fill in the emergency request form, ensure you upload the most relevant documents as an evidence and input the reason why you need an emergency appointment.
After submitting your request, you'll get an email from the Consulate (the email may come in immediately or after some hours, depending). This email will confirm if your request is approved or denied. I hope it's approved though but if not, you have to stick to the initial date or maybe you can choose to pay for another MRV fee.

sonofakin:
Are you planning to first reschedule to june 19 before requesting for emergency appointment?
Yes. That was the instruction from the Consulate but I can't reschedule or request an expedited appointment, I can only cancel
TravelRe: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Lethhhgooo: 2:21pm On Nov 09, 2020
Youngstown:
I have not canceled or rescheduled before. Only my emergency appointment that was rescheduled due to the protest.
Any luck @Youngstown? I called them, they said I should send an email. Below is their response to my email. I am currently trying to call them again as I have asked someone to check if June 19th is still available and it isn't so I don't want to jump to pay another fee.
