Please how did you migrate?




ndidibabe:
Pls if you need your passport, just migrate to 64 pages by paying another money. That's what I did for my baby..

Real mud. I was in festac today to find out whats up with the passport.

First Question an Immigration Officer asked me is : who is the officer handling your file? I asked her what do you mean by officer , she said the person who took you to capture? I told her i am doing it myself , then she directed me to Servicom office.

At Servicom office, they asked what date i captured, i told them last month, the look on their faces simply gave me the answer( meaning- you will wait a long time for it).

I dont understand why they cant remove the 32 pages section from the NIS portal and let people pay for 64 pages. Now, we have to wait or pay ridiculous amounts for same 32 pages passport they claim isnt available that its just 64 pages.


Bad Governance.

Nigerian system has made surviving for the common man really difficult.

Assuming there was an assurance of getting my passport which I DIY i will gladly accept to wait. But as it stands now if I have 70k and have assurance of getting the passport within 2 days i ll pay the money. than wait 2+ months.

Nigeria system is in the mud.[/quote]

Hi,

I need help, please. I'm scheduling appointment for B1/B2 interview for my family. When I got to a section where I have to validate the payment receipt, all other 3 receipts (myself and two daughters) were validated except that of my wife. It's showing receipt number not valid or incorrect. I have deleted her profile and start all over yet same result.

I went back to GT Bank branch where I made the payments, they said only US embassy can rectify it and gave me an email and number to contact. I have sent 3 email, no response. I have as well been calling since May 9th, the embassy is not picking.

I need to get this resolved.

hello..good morning everyone. I have been a silent viewer on this platform and I have been gaining a lot of information from different people. my question goes as this; my interview date for my f1 visa was June 2nd but it was shifted to June 17th, this is my second time applying for an f1 visa, the first time I was denied. I just finished my classes for the spring semester here in Nigeria and I got a GPA of 3.78, how do I mention this to the visa officer so it could increase my chance of getting an f1 visa. what I mean is that, what question can the VO ask me, that can i use my GPA score to answer.

Fill a new Form and reschedule a new date. You need to get a date more importantly.. if any

Hello house,

Kindly advise.
I applied for conference last year, appointment was cancelled due to covid19.
I want to use that same visa fee to apply for a fresh application request . Do I need to start a new DS160 form or am to edit the old application.
Thank you
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by mialate: 7:13pm On May 11, 2021
Simply get a new passport , use a rubber band and bind both passports together.

Hi Fam,
A friend of mine recently got the B1/B2 visa but her international passport expires by January 2022, what happens if she gets a new passport but having her visa in the old passport ? How can she rectify that so it doesn’t become an issue.

Thanks for your reply. Though I cancelled my hotel booking already do I book another hotel for next year. As where I will be staying.

fkj950ax:
Go for your interview as scheduled. Not your fault. VO will understand. MRV non refundable so you don't have the option of backing out
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by mialate: 8:35am On Mar 18, 2020
@UhnNah thanks for the response.
Visa Fee has been paid, Appointment scheduled as well. The new date for the event is in May 2021 but for now there is no particular date in view but always comes up every year towards the end of May.

quote author=UhnNah post=87540082]

Visa fee paid? Appointment scheduled? You have the new date of the event in 2021? If yes then go ahead with the interview and explain the change of date to the VO...b visas are valid for 2 years!

Don’t just move with this single comment,wait for others to comment and decide![/quote]

Morning guys.

We thank God for Journey mercies.

We all came back sick, may be because of the cold, cos most of the Parisians were coughing at public places and we probably contracted from them.

It was a mixed experience sha. huh
