Please was there any reason given why you need a follow up interview during your visa appointment?

hunee:
wow. Please mail me here ayoj14878@gmail.com

Hello everyone,
Please is it mandatory that we drop off our passport at the DHL office ourselves or can someone drop it off on my behalf?

Could you please share your timeline with us

My B1/B2 was approved on Thursday 20 April 2023 and it was issued on the 25 April 2023. Waiting for a mail to collect it from DHL.

Guys I just got this information today. DHL office takes time to update their system due the large number of parcels they receive daily. If it over 10 days you submitted your passport at DHL office Lagos, go back there and check if your passport is ready for pick. Don't wait till you get notification from them

Please when did you submit your application online?
When was your drop off appointment date?
When did your visa get approved?
When did you receive your passport?

Fimmyjay:
So have you received the message to collect your passport or have you collected it?

How long did yours take to approve?

narcdramaqueen:
It means that they have maybe moved it from one pile, or one office, to another.

Bear in mind I'm in Lagos, but mine was updating everyday, even though it was on Application Received. It's now been approved.

How many days did yours take from the day you submitted your application to get your passport back?

davda202:
i have picked up my passport. Approved for 5years

Please how many days did it take you to get your passport from the day you applied and paid for your appointment?

Ekeadatrust:
Thank you for your response. I submitted on 17th march in Abuja. But the thing is not moving. just "Application received."

Hi Seun, Hi mods please look into this. Thank you.

Please any update on this issue? I'm having the same issue

Please how where you able to resolve this issue. I'm getting the same "unable to change email address" while trying to change my email address.

BizBooks:
If you are referring to the "Unable to Change Email Address" issue, I think it has been resolved. I was able to
change my NL email address a few weeks ago.

Thank you for sharing your timeline.
I submitted my application on 3rd of March, received mail 12 hours later to schedule appointment.

Schedule appointment for 22nd of May.
Hoping to get rescheduled but not yet

nuttycaptain:
Hello,

Mine was rescheduled by the embassy. No reason was given. They just sent an email to notify me of this.

Initial appointment date was April 18, rescheduled date was March 15

Good morning Everyone,
Those of you that got your IW drop off appointment rescheduled to an early date by the consulate was there any reason given by the embassy on why they rescheduled it to an early date?
Also, kindly share your initial appointment date and the early date it was rescheduled too.

That's odd usually you get the email within few days. Mine came in within 12hours of inputting the payment receipt number.
Login to your page and cross check the mail E-mail address you have on your profile, check the appointment section to see if it has been approve

Demzy4:
This is Wednesday, but I am yet to get a mail. What could be wrong?

segsdynamic:
Urgent please

Can someone pls help me with US embassy in Lagos contact numb... I want to update my wife and daughter DS160 on the profile

Have you submitted your passport and printed DS160 to DHL? If you haven't done so, fill out a new ds160 form and update it on your profile yourself.

Demzy4:
I did mine on Thursday but yet to get an email. could it be because of the Easter break?

Yes it could be because of Easter Easter break considering Friday was holiday.
If you qualify for Interview waiver, you should get the email by Tuesday or Wednesday.

TheEnforcer:
Looks like they have changed how to get a date by sending w mail to people?So people can't select date directly again?

Yes you can't do that anymore, You need to be approved first before you can pick a date.

iyaaliyah:
Is it right for a new applicant too? My Aunty who hasn't applied before.

Yes but if this is your first time applying for US visa it might take few days to get the email. Just be patient and check your email regularly

iyaaliyah:
Good morning.

Pls, a new applicant got this while trying to schedule interview. Is this right?'¹ or we got something wrong.

Yes it's right. You'll get an email once it approved to schedule your IW appointment. Usually you'll be the email with 48 hours

Beelaye:
Yes

Wow nice...... Congrats

Beelaye:
Well I put 300k but my husband was also applying and put his own which was more than mine

Did yours get approved ?

blacrose:
hello . pls what kind of application did you do? I also need an early date for childbirth please

US visa B1/B2 Interview waiver.

Ekeadatrust:
It depends on the country visa you want to renew. if its for USA visa, you dont need any money in your account or any bank statment. What they will only collect from you is that DS160 confirmation page and your passpoort.

Yes it's for US visa renewal. In the DS160 form there's a place they ask for your occupation and salary I just want to know if 400k is a reasonable amount to put.
This is my third time applying for US visa. I've never been denial a US visa. The first and 2nd time I applied was in Canada and I was approved both times.

Good day everyone,
Please is 400k a reasonable amount of salary to use when applying for your visa renewal?

bdamilare:
Good morning, please I need on booking an appointment. I have input my receipt number and it has been giving me this.

Please how many hours does it take to be approved.

You'll get an email within 48 hours to book your appointment.

My own email came in after 12 hours of inputting the payment receipt number to book an appointment.

mojolajesu:
Hello great people.

I got an email from The embassy today that my appointment has been rescheduled. It was on the 24th of April before.

The problem is that i haven't been able to access the cgi portal for about a week now.

is anyone here facing the same issue? did anyone get a rescheduling email?

Please help

Please when did you submit your application?
Clear your browser cache, if it does work
Try logging in from a different browser if possible try it at night time. The site is usually down during the day

Eriokanmi:
it was May. I didn't do anything to get a rescheduled date. It was the embassy who sent me an email to notify me of this change. Several other applicants also received same mail regarding this from them. I got to know of this at Isolo DHL office the day I went for submission.

Wow you guys are lucky. My submission appointment date is May 22nd. I submitted my application on 3rd of April and was hoping to get an earlier date but unfortunately I didn't get it.

Eriokanmi:
E be like say those of us wey submit application via IW on the 15th March dey plenty for this thread . Maybe because the embassy rescheduled a lot of applicants' submission dates to an earlier date cos crowd was much at the Isolo Office of DHL that morning, quite unusual.

Mine was approved yesterday as well after tracking my application twice on ceac. It was still showing application received in the morning. The status changed around 3pm to approved, when I tracked again, after 8 modifications. 3 weeks was the longest of my wait time ever. I wouldn't know why.

Please what date was your submission appointment date rescheduled from to Match 15th?
Also did you have to do fill anything to get the early date?

MummyHalo:
Hi, I got the mail this afternoon and saw a date in April but the appointment confirmation looks more like an interview appointment. The appointment detail has the address of the consulate which is quite different from IW confirmation that I know.

Please was your IW rescheduled to an earlier date or was it still April 26th?

YoungMetrosG:
Same thing just happened to me. My IW date was April 28 and I got an email today saying it’s now been brought forward to March 13th. That’s in 4 days. And my issue is my passport is currently at the Canada visa office for stamping of TRV. If I don’t get it back tomorrow, I can’t make this new IW appointment. So wrong how they just assume you have no set plans

Please when did you submit your application?

NothingDoMe:
Not so bad.

Is bad lol I was hoping to get an early date. May 22nd is too far. I don't know is its possible to change the appointment to an earlier date if a spot opens up.
