Hi everyone, please is it possible to get one's passport back the next day after visa approval in Abuja? I mean like interviewing on Thursday and getting it the passport on Friday.
I'm asking coz I will be having my interview in Abuja though I stay in Lagos. I'm considering using Abuja as pickup location so I will just wait behind to collect the passport instead of leaving immediately and waiting for them to send it to Lagos. Please has anyone done this? Kindly share your experience. Thank you.

yes, very possible.

CelinaAK:
Please my people help me review. The issue on my I-20 has been updated. Please how’s it now? My COA is 46k$ in school website but here on I-20 is 42$k. I provided family funds because of my deficit of 3k$ using the COA on school website. Please should I tell them to remove family funds on my I-20 because it’s obvious I had $600 surplus from the dept funding and the COA from the I-20. Please kindly advise. Thanks

write to your international office

Please do share your transcript, it will help us to help you and help those who a preparing. God no go shame us.

oluwarantimi:
I was there that day June16, 7am too. It was a horrible experience, it was like being on a queue to be slaughtered and you can’t run anywhere but only move forward. I was desperately praying for any other person apart from that white man. I wasn’t lucky, he didn’t even give one a chance. Rejection straight. It was so sad. I intend to reapply, but this appointment date thing is giving me a headache. When you prepare transcripts, prepare bank statement, prepare outfit and the rest. Don’t forget to pray for grace too. Because some consulars act almost inhuman. I will share my testimony soon too.

Congratulations!!!
