Please, does anyone know if it is possible to renew an international passport before it expires?
Like I have a passport that will expire in August but want to renew it over the summer break around June/July.
Thank you.

Yes it is.. I did mine in Aug 2015 and here in Nigeria, my passport was gonna expire oct 2015. I don’t know if the rules have changed now but I doubt it has.

Congratulations!!
Pls ur first two interview was it same location?

Hello NL!

New user and first time posting here, I wish I came across this forum before my first interview.. I have read through 10- uptodate, it’s very useful.
My visa was denied last month(through this forum I have found my loopholes and mistakes) and going for another interview but I’m thinking of changing locations from Lagos to Abuja is there any need for that?
Also when asked if you have a relative in the us, do they mean immediate only! I have extended relatives there but no immediate, how should I reply? Y’all help would be much appreciated!
