Guys! Is the Ds160 Application No (that starts with Aa******) same as the Confirmation No after completion and submission of the form filling?

I'm in this situation too. Earliest appointment date is Jan 2024 for Lagos. Is there a way to get alerts when dates drop? Someone adviced using an agent but I'm not so sure. Another said to pick the Jan 2024 date and wait for emergency appointments to be rolled out after that. Thoughts anyone?

Msbanks:
Hello everyone.

Please help your girl. Is there a visa checking group here on nairaland or maybe on WhatsApp where people check for dates constantly and inform the group? I've been trying to get a date for a month plus now. Emergency appointment did come through.

Invite her to come to Naija. Marry her at the marriage registry in Ikoyi. She will process some documentations here at the embassy. Then she would fly back to USA and process some documents at the US immigration

Then you can easily come over with K-1 spousal visa.

Good luck

Please I have been trying to fill the D's 160 form to enablee book appointment for a US visiting visa but the form part where you key in information is nothing working. What should I do. Pls someone should help suggest a way out or advice.

Hello,

I just noticed that there is a limit to your access to the interview appointment portal.

Does this mean that once you have reached your daily limit you won't be able to access the portal for that day or are there an alternative ways of doing that?

Kindly advice.

Thank you

I am just going with ielts because it's what I know have studied, practiced and what they accept.

Hi,
Great people of this thread, please I have an interview for next week but haven't submitted my ds160 form yet. When's the deadline for submission? 3 data to the interview date right?

Also, my i-20 is balanced both ways i.e. doesn't have a deficit, would there be a need to print SoAs of my sponsor and mine? Would a few months old bank statement suffice or I have to print a new one for this month?

Lastly, is there anything I should lookout for, like the counter number of the VO that often denies, etc?

Thanks for your great works here������

I'm new here and also a novice in USA visa issues. I have read many transcripts of interviews and I want to ask this question:

I applied to only one USA university for MSc and I got the admission, although I've applied to Canadian universities in the past. I've noticed that successful visa applicants applied to more than one school. Will it work against me if I admit that I applied to just one USA school?

If yes, will it do me any good if I tell d VO that I applied to Canada in d past?

Thank u frapzkid for ur response to this.

However, I don't have a current GRE or any test, as d school that accepted me waived GRE. I wrote GRE in d past but has expired. If I now tell d vo dt I applied to 4 schools and I don't have a test score to show, won't that backfire?

I'm seeking advice from anyone here that has an answer to my situation. Secondly, will it be of any help if I mention dt I have an expired test score?

Find two schools that waive GRE and use them

Submit your DS160 at least 72hrs to your interview.

If you don't have a deficit, then you don't need SOA

don't go for interview with the intent of looking for a cheap VO or the one that denied people, it'll affect your psychology on that day and it might lead to denial..

GRE scores last for 5 years, so check the date and know whether it’s still active.

Which US school are you headed to ?
