Good Morning guys ,

How do I update my Ds-160 Form ? My interview is stated for Monday what and what should I go with.

Thanks

Go to the DS-160 page website, select the location you chose earlier, and click on retrieve. Put your current application ID and your information as requested, then submit. You will receive a prompt stating that you have submitted your application with two options. Choose the second option that leads you to continue, not the one that leads you to print the confirmation page. This will lead you back to your form, but this time with a new DS-160 application ID number. Your form will remain the same. Update what you need to update and submit. Go to your CGI profile to update the new DS-160 application ID number. Please do this at least 72 hours before your interview.

Good morning everyone, please I will like to ask, in an occasion I get a visa while I applied for school A in USA, and I got another admission in another school in the US, once I get to US, can I go to the school I got admission in instead of the one I used in getting visa?

Please kindly reply anyone that knows how this works, thanks.

Enter the US and go to the school you got your visa with early before classes start, then transfer your SEVIS to the school you intended to attend.

Hello,

I completed DS-160 in Aug 2023 and have an interview scheduled for the first week of March.
My international passport expired this month, and I have obtained a new one. I travelled for the first time ever to UK in December 2023. The new passport number and travel experience was not in my original DS-160.

I have completed a new DS-160 to include my new passport number and UK travel experience. I was able to edit my DS-160 confirmation number on CGI portal. I attempted to update the passport number by sending feedback on the CGI portal with copy of my passport, MRV receipt and confirmation page of new DS-160 but received an email today stating that they could not update the passport number.

My question is: Can I attend the interview with my new DS 160 which now has a different passport number from what is on MRV receipt and appointment letter? I will be going with both new and old passports. Thank you


You should be fine once you have your old and new passports with you.

Yes, the university will accept the SOA from an overseas sponsor. If you can explain your relationship with your sponsor and why he or she wants to sponsor you, I don't think there's anything wrong with using him or her as your visa sponsor.

NB: Be sure of what the person is doing abroad and how he or she got there.

Hi all. Please I just got an offer for my M.A. My prospective supervisor and program coordinator asked me to wait till month end to know the amount of funding, Scholarship,and stipend they could offer.

Now my question is, if there is a funding deficit
after the award, would the University accept an SOA from a sponsor in the UK to issue my I-20, since that is where my sponsor lives?

Secondly, will this same foreign SOA be a red flag at the American embassy in Nigeria during visa interview?

Barely three weeks after capturing in Festac of all offices
I hope they won't look at my capturing date on my slip and with the quickness kick me out tomorrow.
I mean in Festac, registruants wait at least two months or three before getting their pali. Why is mine different?

I am finding your inquiry suspicious! You said your connect told you it was out. Why are you now clouding this place with questions about if it is out? And double quoting the response from people with good intentions of DIY. since you know it takes 2 to 3 months for DIY. If what you are claiming is the truth, then you probably paid your way up; why are you surprised it works? Or do you have other intentions? Maybe people should be running after you for how you did it, which feels like a scam to me.

Thanks so much for your response, it's really helpful.
* But if I may ask, peradventure I get a preferred date, do I need to cancel the previously given appointment date before applying for the preferred date?

** Also, do I need to cancel the previous appointment date before requesting for an emergency appointment?

*** Finally, I want to join the Lagos search group, how can I join please?

Your response will be highly appreciated.



You don't need to cancel anything. Just reschedule your appointment and print the new appointment page.
For EA, you can't apply for EA without a scheduled date. So you don't need to cancel again. Best.

Hello all, pls I have a friend I have been instructing on how to go about this online application for Nigerian passport... But it seems something is wrong with the website from the 2nd page where he has to fill in his details, it's not going through to the next page at all... What do we do pls

Is there any error that popped up? Did he filled all asterisk sections? He needs to fill all asterisk (red) sections before he can proceed to the next page. He can also switch browser if the problem persists without any error.

Thanks for your opinion but his money is legit, apart he is a politician he has his own personal business that is running. So the money is not from politics.

And why can't you state the personal business and back it up with him being a politician? You left the strong point to clamp on the auxiliary.

Thanks Boss(ette) for the kind clarification. deadline is in some days so I think I should mail or call if no change by end of day. Please help confirm:

1. I am to call/mail the Lagos office?
2. There is a limit to how much one can check for dates for emergency too right, just like normal appointment (4x)?

Thanks again

You call or mail the embassy that approved your EA. If it is Lagos Consulate, then you call or mail them.

Yes, 3 times a day is fine.

Good morning everyone,

I need certain clarification on Emergency Appointments. I applied for EA, I got a message that it was approved and i should click "Reschedule" to pick a new date, on clicking reschedule, I found that the available dates are for 2024, far beyond my current appointment date. So I need to understand if these dates also change like the regular appointment available dates or they will remain static at 2024, in which case I can make use of it.

I will appreciate any advice or direction in this regard. Thank you.

It will change before the deadline given to you. Keep checking for nearer dates. You can also mail or call them if you don't see a nearer date in a week to the deadline. Best.

Hello guys,

Please I would be having my visa interview later this Thursday in Abuja but I reside in Lagos. I would like to get my passport as soon as I possibly can. I do not have a place to stay in Abuja after the interview so I plan to have my passport delivered to Lagos.

Does anyone have an idea of how long such delivery would take??


Need a response urgently so I can make plans accordingly.


Within 3 to 5 days, it will be delivered to the DHL address you chose on your cgi portal.

Please I am really confused on what to do
Please I have a regular appointment on the 29th of August and my school resumes on 22nd . Can I apply for EA now or wait till it is 60days am currently in dubai and I am to attend interview there.

Since your appointment is in a foreign country, I can't categorically tell you to apply for it or not, but many people applied for it in Nigeria Consulates without considering the 60 days rule, and their EA were approved this week. Same thing happened last year. What I noticed is that most of the applicants that got their EA approved are fresh candidates without denial before.

Yes, I requested for an EA in December but it was later ‘canceled’ not denied coz I got an appointment thru the priority surge date. Even at that, i think a new MRV should give me me at least 2 EA attempts if I’m not mistaken, coz I requested once and got denied and now the EA option is not showing again. I’m just so confused. My program start date is June 9.I need help.

You can only have 2 EA attempts in a location. Since you changed location, you have exhausted all attempts. You can only check for earlier date by joining group looking for date. You can't request an emergency attempt with this Mrv fee again. Best.

Hello , the dates I'm seeing here is far from my resumption dates. School resume August . I have not schedule / click on any date yet . What can I do please. It's urgent.

You have two chances to schedule appointment, I will advise you to schedule an appointment now with the date you see, and keep checking for another date to reschedule for any closer date, if you don't see by 60 days to your start date, you can opt for emergency appointment. Best

*NB: Mind you, the dates can disappear anytime. Based on what happened last year ooo.

Hello everyone,
I applied for an EA last two weeks Wednesday. I uploaded my Admission letter, sevis fee and I20. I didn't get any email of acknowledgement, denial or acceptance.

I checked my portal today and I realised that the status of my previous (first) appointment was changed to cancelled. Abeg which way��� laik this.

I am sure your EA has been approved, the mail for rescheduling will still come in, it happens to people last year too, and the outcome came positive.

August 15 is when classes begin while July 15 is earliest resumption date. So do I wait 60 days to earliest resumption date or 60 days to when classes begin to apply for EA.

You can request for emergency appointment by May ending or early June.

Thank you for the response. Yes, I got the automatic reply when I applied on Friday. I will wait and continue to check my cgi profile. Hopefully I will get a positive response. And Yes, I think Abuja is currently approving EA. Someone got approved yesterday.

Hi @ifedayosol. I have a complicated case. My EA in abuja was postponed. So I cancelled the appointment and applied for surge in Lagos. I haven’t gotten a response in Lagos and its been 3 working days. I will like to ask a question- if I cancel the appointment, pay new MRV fee and select Abuja. Will I be able to book a new emergency appointment on a new MRV application fee?

Just wait till Thursday, and try to be checking your cgi, once your appointment date in the cgi cancelled, you have been granted a surge interview, you just need to wait for their email in this regard. Someone that applied last week Wednesday, got it approved this morning, though her appointment date has been cancelled since yesterday morning. Hope this help.
Again, do you receive the automatic reply when you sent the mail? If you didn't see anything till Friday, you can go ahead with your plan but be sure Abuja is approving EA currently.

The reason for refusal was not your travel experience. I think the VO was looking at your profile...years in the job, and why you are just going for the Master's. I know the angle I am looking at your case may look weird to you, but as "Head" of that position, 10 years in the job, you are mostly at the steep of your career--in that position. Why now? MBA is a degree people get to get to that steep you are currently occupying.

Secondly, you are 36 and your Dad is the sponsor. As "Head" in your current position, the VO probably thought you should have your own money too. That is why I always tell applicants from here that if you have personal funds and you have a sponsor at the same time, state who is sponsoring you and ship in: " I have also saved about $10, 000 over the years and I will use this toward my living expenses."

I was not at the interview with you, but I am not convinced you utilize the time you had to give detailed answer to the VO questions. I would be expecting more answers to his questions. You can reapply, but craft strong answers to the potential questions you'd be asked.

All the best!

Welcome back @fairheart, your presence is always noticed. What a nice feedback!

I don’t understand again, since all these days, and I was instructed to decide within 2 weeks, if not the admission will be withdrawn.

Even if you decide to accept their admission now, and you find a better option in the future, you can still deny them to pick a better offer. Don't let this to disturb you at all.
