Yep changed.

wuki:
Did your status change on caec and/or the portal? Still pending two applications from April 25th (Abuja) that are showing “Administrative Processing.” We are patiently waiting but I’m trying to guage how reliable that status is for my relatives.

Just received a text message and email that passport is ready for collection now.[ quote author=shithapuns post=112824155]

Mine showed.
YOUR PASSPORT IS STILL AT THE US EMBASSY.

then today, i checked and its saying, passport ready for pickup[/quote]

When was the last time you checked and it showed : YOU PASSPORT IS STILL AT THE US EMBASSY, before this latest update today?

That is why you should call them.

Tryingmybest:
Can they help me reschedule?
Hopefully they can

Have you gone to check the "schedule appointment" item on your profile?

kaykehin:
Please schedule the follow-up interview under the "221G" category which applies to your visa category and application type. I cannot find this on my profile.

I believe you can call their help center

Tryingmybest:
Hello everyone,
My emergency visa request was approved but the site shows "there are currently no available date". The deadline for my Emergency visa request is May 18th.
Please who knows the time the visa slots are available?
Please help

Great! When was it updated?

shithapuns:
Mine is showing passport ready for pickup now

Is your husband applying for a US or he has a valid visa

Altered4life:
Good morning people.

Please I have a question.

Can my husband and 2yr old son accompany me to US for a convention?

And if yes, .. would hubby be following me to the Visa interview? Would he be invited for an interview?
Or I would be the only one to go for the interview?

Is this something people do and still get Visa? What are the chances? Thank you

Please, follow the instruction as checked on the list: It says, log in to your profile and follow the instruction.

kaykehin:
Good morning Gurus in the house, please I picked up my passport yesterday but was asked to schedule another interview under the 221G category. Attached refers. How do I go about it please? Thank you.

It appears the waiting would continue till next week

TDH1680:
Lagos

Abuja or Lagos?

TDH1680:
Has anyone that submitted application via IW, in the week beginning 4/25, gotten any update, yet? My parents still showing Application Received". Just checked again now. Any joy?

April 24th was on Sunday sir

wuki:
I booked dropoff for a relative for same date (April 21) and he picked up his passport (with visa) this past Tuesday. On the other hand I have some relatives who dropped off on April 24th status is still “Administrative Processing.” Patience is the word of the day.

You might need to check status again 1-2 pm tmrw.

TDH1680:
Lagos. Submitted on 4/29/2022. Today makes it the sixth business day. I'm not entirely familiar with this site, and how to respond. I hope you get my message.

When and where was it submitted ?

TDH1680:
Good morning, can anyone advise of the interview waiver tracking process. I have been tracking my parents renewal application but the status is stuck on "Application Received". The last updated date, has changed twice since it was submitted but the actual status, hasn't moved from "Received". Can anyone advise? Am I looking in the wrong place?

Good day house,

Please, any updates for Abuja IW submissions done 25th April 2022 yet?

Its at the Embassy, Abuja

Berylstanz:
Applied in Abuja around ending of March, passport dropped off on April 21, got the response on April 25, rescheduled for June

Where and when did you apply please?

Berylstanz:
Hi, thanks for sharing your experience. My parents were asked to schedule a follow up interview and received the letter below. I just want to know if you received the same, because they are not sure if they are meant to go into the embassy or go the dhl and resubmit…because on the new interview info the address is showing the dhl office..thanks for your response

When, where and what time did you submit please?

tytmed:
Hello everyone, Happy Eid.
I just checked the states of my application and it says “Passport has been received from the consular section, and is currently being processed for delivery”
Please what does this mean? I didn’t ask for delivery.

You need to go very early

fcisca:
21st April. The passport’s been ready for collection since last week Thursday but I have been dreading that DHL experience and hoping that the crowd woulda thinned out a little.

When and what time did you submit?

fcisca:
Good day nairalanders. Happy Eid to everyone celebrating.
Please does anyone know what it looks like or care to share experiences with picking up their passports from DHL Abuja? The IW submission was hellish and I need to know what to expect at pickup.
TY.

Good morning, Please when and where did you submit your application and documents?

Obamagbagbeeni:
Update:

I got my passport back and I’ve been asked to come in on any Thursday with my Int’l passport and make sure my bio data is correct.

I pray all goes well… I’ll update the house when I go.

Thank you all for your responses

Congratulations! Lagos or Abuja ?

Knowledge they say is power, true. But I will say the right information is key. I have been a silent reader and have gotten quite a load of information from here. My timeline goes thus:
I submitted our recently filled D160 forms ( myself, DW and son) on the 14th March, 2022. I made payment for our visa same day and joined a telegram group in search of IW appointment date ( our last visa expired in July 2020 which was used for child birth as declared then for DW).
Appointment time schedule came up on Tuesday 15th March, 2022 but I wasn’t able to secure a time slot owing to three(3) failed attempt due to either poor/slow network or guess so many people were choosing the same time as I was simultaneously. Learnt my number one lesson (i.e go for the early morning dates if you come in slightly later than when the time slots initially appears).
I was bewildered that appointment slots came up the next day Wednesday 16th March, 2022 in the afternoon as we had the notion that time slots show up majorly midday. I missed this due to engagement at work.
I was flabbergasted, when time slots came up again the next day Thursday 17th March, 2022 and this time I was successful in getting a slot for 29th March, 2022.
Submitted on the appointment day without hassle.
Visa was issued on the 16th April, 2022 to the three of us.
Got our passport pickup email and sms on the 21th April, 2022 by 7:30pm.
I went to Victoria Island for pickup of our passports on the 22nd April, 2022, but couldn’t. I was told that I came late( time was some minutes to four O clock) and the crowd was quite alarming. Learnt they were treating list 16 out of 25 (there are 25 names on a list) as at that time.
I went back on Monday 25th April, 2022 and spent about 8hrs (got there around 1000am and left around 0600pm) before being able to pickup for only myself and son as DW passport could not be found after several search attempts. The lady that attended to me pleaded with me to go as it was not easy searching for it at that time, she gave me her mobile number and promised to look for it. She called me later by 9:05pm same day to inform me that she has found it.
I went there the next day to pick it up.
All glory to God, a big thank you to this house and a big thumps up to the telegram group. God bless you all.

Abuja or Lagos please?

tytmed:
Hello House, just a quick update I went to submit today for the iw it was a long line but was able to submit and was given a letter to pick up at DHL when it is ready..

Thanks

JohnZak:
It is the DHL office at Heritage House, Wuse Zone 3. The list of documents required to support your visa application depends on the class of visa you are applying for and this information is on the appointment confirmation letter that you receive when you schedule your visa appointment. My mum applied for a B1/B2 visa and the documents she was asked to submit included the appointment confirmation letter, passport containing the expired visa, original MRV receipt, DS-160 confirmation page, & 2 passport photographs.

Thanks for the information. Please, which of their DHL offices? The Heritage House, Wuse Zone 3 Abuja, or The DHL at 63 Ademola Tokunbo Wuse 2 Abuja? What is the list of documents required for checking and submission?

JohnZak:
Hey guys! I have gotten valuable information from this thread so I figure I will give back. I know some folks had questions about the IW submission process in Abuja. My mum had her IW appointment in Abuja this morning. She submitted her documents at the DHL office and not the Embassy as we initially assumed. She was there for about 90 minutes before she was attended to. They checked her documents and everything was good. I know some on this thread had questions about whether a proxy can submit on behalf of the applicant, especially an older applicant. My mum told me that a woman at DHL this morning asked the same question and the DHL worker said it is not possible. The applicant has to submit in person. I will update when there is more information. Good luck everyone!

You would need to show evidence of the tenancy agreement for the 2m and title documents to the property. This is to explain the source of the 2m fixed deposit.

ekpotek:
You have sufficient funds to finance your trip. What you need to add is draw up an itinerary of your activities for the two weeks in the UK. As this may be you first time application, you have to convince the ECO that you have a good knowledge of the UK and places of interest to visit with your kids. Good luck.

Thank you

Lordkross:
Nope it's at DHL, I heard it's at Zone 3, Wuse, Abuja. I was there this morning.

Good evening, please for those on IW appointments in Abuja, it appears IW documents drop off is not at the Abuja Embassy but at the DHL office?

HajiaRai:
No. Unless/until you click on "schedule appointment" tab under the calendar.

Thanks. Please, what date did you get?

groovychik:
Many dates available for Abuja IW now. I just booked mine.

Each person should have their forms. But could be merged/linked for biometrics same day.
