Hello guys,

Please has anyone had a recent experience with getting a 221g form while doing Interview Waiver and being asked to schedule a follow up physical interview? Do you have any advice on the process?

Thank you

damkanlinsin:
I got this early this morning. My appointment was suppose to be on the 6th of next month. Now it’s shifted to November. I have waited more than 8 months already.

Who knows what I can do about this.

Hey 🤠

1. Login to her cgi profile and look out for update profile... click on it and the system will takes you to her bio-data page... look out for where DS 160 number and Passport number is written (old ones), clear it off and type your new DS 160 number and new passport number in the spaces ...stroll downward and click on save.

2. After 3 days . Log back to Mama's cgi profile and click on Appointment.... it will take you to download Appointment or email Appointment... choose anyone that fits you and print out a new visa appointment letter for Mama. ** The new visa appointment letter will carry the new ds 160 and the new passport numbers (automatic update completed).

3. Regarding the MRV. Mama is good to attend her interview with the new passport and the mrv payment receipt. You cannot edit or amend the MRV (except if GTB will re-issue a new one but i doubt the possibility). But the good news is that Mama's new passport will also carry her old passport number (which reflects on the mrv receipt ). ** Alternatively, she can attend the interview with both old and new Passports.


Best Wishes 🙏

Did you send message to the U.S embassy or State Department about overstaying due to Covid-19

Hi Guys,
My mom’s visa expired sept 2020, and so I was able to get a date for IW for Sept.We paid for the DS169 June 2nd. We got this message after submitting. Now that there is a new qualification for 48mnths…just wondering if we should go ahead and apply for IW again.
Did anybody get this message before when they submitted for IW
Thank you

Good morning everyone
Regarding b1/b2 interview waiver
Please who has had similar scenario and the outcome
I submitted documents about a month now, tried tracking it and it has been showing ‘no status’ ever since
Nothing like administrative processing or even refusal as others might see
Then on the dashboard, initially it showed passport with the consulate and now the delivery dashboard is blank

Abeg who has similar issues, because I haven’t gotten an update for passport pickup or anything related

also if one has to appear in person for Abuja, do we go on Thursday just the way Lagos has it
Thank you all

OyiBeeBee:
Congrats!
Pls when did they eventually upload her biometrics. Was she asked for medicals?

In response to your query, saw this on another Nairaland thread (apparently Abuja Vfs is faster than Lagos but its your preference)
You can also search this thread or Nairaland for those who sent via VFS lagos

Hi,

Please can you share the content of the email?

I need to send them an email too.

Thank you.

Hi folks,
We already applied for my mum’s TRV since March last year. They started reviewing her eligibility November last year, we will appreciate if someone can share that email address to contact IRCC for expedition.

Thank you.

Hello Guys...pls how do we submit passports to VFS? Can we take them to their Lagos office?
Thank you

Hi Guys, I am a PR and just applied for TRV for my mom on the 11th, she got request for biometrics the next day and she has completed it but her profile hasn't been updated. Unfortunately I didnt follow the new guidelines (putting COVID-19 as reason for travel)for applying for immediate family members when I was applying for her, I have sent an email to that address on their website though but in the acknowledgement email sent to me I realized that email was actually for people who applied before Apr 9th. Please is any other person in this situation and is there anything to be done other than wait.
Thank you

She got her PPR mail yesterday.

My mum has gotten her passport back. S surprised to see she was given a 4 year visa. Was expecting the usual 6 months.

I think you should send them a mail. My mum applied from Nigeria. Wondering if you followed the covid-19 instructions (to enter COVID-19 as purpose of visit on the application form) for immediate family members of Citizens/PRs.

I don't think there's such a restriction on any airline, besides you're not entering Ethiopia and won't be dealing with their customs per se, you're only transiting. I have friends that used the airline and didn't have such issues. You only have to declare funds over 10K usd for most countries you'll be entering.
