Firstly, fill another Ds160 and choose Abuja as your choice. You don't need to complete it yet but note the Confirmation number and use it in your visa appointment profile page. Next, go back in your visa page to the beginning and choose Abuja. Check for dates and if it's beyond your resumption date book it like that, then apply for emergency interview.

Thanks.

I want to say I am really glad and i don’t know how to express my joy. Because what God can not do does not exist. God has helped me and I am really thankful to Akeem Ajao, for always encouraging me and being by my side. I am indeed grateful for my fairheart. For all of the advice he has given me, I was not worried again after receiving all of this advices and counsels. Now I know even if we had made mistakes in the past, there is still a way to correct this mistakes, we should never be frustrated or try to give up because of this. I know I already shared my transcripts on my first, second and third interview. I will be sharing the fourth one today. The VO that interviewed me in Abuja today was the same VO that interviewed me during my 3rd attempt. Just a month ago after I was denied. Visa approved
Visa approved Abuja embassy 28th June 2021. Fourth attempt.

VO: pass me your documents, he was kind of typing in his system. He said sorry hold on.
Me: with boldness I was not really smiling at all. I said here is my documents. There is no problem you can continue doing what you are doing.
VO: checked my passport, so he said what did you went to do in the Democratic republic of Congo.
Me: I went to the DRC for a missionary service, which I did for my church for two years. This service is required for every male member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint from the age of 18-25. Because of this service I was able to go to Kenya, Ghana and Togo. I then handle over my missionary photos and my missionary certificate for prove of the service.
VO: don’t worry I believe you. With a smile. So I see you are going to Missouri.
Me: yes I will be going to Missouri state university for my bachelor’s degree in chemistry and I am going to be concentrating on biochemistry.
VO: he checked his system and then he said how come so soon you reapplied again and how did you got this date seeing that there are no available dates?
Me: I found out that I don’t need to give up on my dreams, so after being denied on that last day. I went straight forward to purchase another mrv fee and then started my application again. So I had to request for emergency appointment. Because I came to find out that student going for f1 visas are been granted emergency request. So I had to do mine and I was given this date.
VO: nodded his head and then he said that’s fine. I see you have a scholarship of $5,000 how are you going to be paying the remaining fees.
Me: my parents have always been sponsoring my activities and they were the one who sponsored my missionary program and they will be paying for my education.
VO: okay what do they do?
Me: for my dad he works in a micro finance bank and he also has an automobile business in my home city whereby he deals on used Nigeria vehicles and my mom she is a pharmacist.
VO: okay so what will you do with this degree?
Me: first of all after the completion of this degree with the amount of knowledge I am going to acquire in this field. I will be able to pursue a career someday in becoming a biomedical scientist. Because i love to know how our plants and animals can resist diseases, droughts and other afflictions. I will then be able to carried out biological and laboratory test on tissue fluids so that clinicians can be able to diagnose and treat diseases in plants and animals.
VO: he kept on typing and typing for like 1 minute. He added my passport to the others and said I will be keeping your passport and I will be returning this i-20 to you, you need this at the point of entry. He thé gave me the white paper.
Me: I was like really surprise and I said thank you sir. God bless you.
VO: don’t worry you are good to go, just prepare your travel and always maintain COVID19 guidelines to always stay safe.

I left and I was really happy and was kind of confuse because it looked like a dream to me. I am really thankful to God and I can’t really express my joy.
You did it man. Congratulations, if you get to Springfield and you need to connect with other africans let me know.

Trust me, it was not your marriage status that made them deny you. If you truly believe that being married would help you, then you don't even get it

Good evening everybody,


My wife F2 visa was denied today at US consulate in lagos. The following was what transpired between her and the VO.

VO: Good morning and pass your document

Wife: Good morning sir (she passed the document)

VO: I can see you are going to join your husband at the university of Alabama, Tuscaloosa.

Wife: Yes sir

VO: when did he leave the country

Wife: he will be leaving on the 1st of august, 2021 as his program starts by august 11

VO: So your business is tommyshendy. Tell me about it

Wife: yes sir. Itbis a registered fashion business that deals with production and sales of different types of female clothes. We also train people on clothes making.

VO: How come your husband never talked about this

Wife: He didnt talk about it because the business in mine and there is no where is the DS-160 form where one is required to fill spouse occupation. He was not also asked during his interview

VO: So why didn't you apply together

Wife: I initially planned to join him at the later time after he would have gone but after thinking about the benefit of going with him, we both agreed to go together. We feel going together will give emotional stability to concentrate on his studies, it will reduce the number of time he might want to be spending on phone with me been his wife and thereby giving him more time for his research. Going with him will also reduce his expenses and that he will also enable us to focus on our marriage been a young marriage

VO: how do you think it will reduce his expenses

Wife: I believe he won't have to pay for his accommodation in the US and be paying for mine in Nigeria. Cooking a single meal that we will eat together will also reduce expenses on groceries.

VO: What is your husband plan after his studies

Wife: His plan is to cone back to Nigeria to take up a lecturing role at Babcock university where he currently work

VO: when did you get married

Wife: March 28th, 2020.

VO: I am sorry, you do not qualify for a VISA this time around.


Please we don't know what went wrong. She is planning to reapply. Please any advice for us will be appreciated. Thanks

There's a whole lot wrong here:

1. When you applied, did you use your wife staying back as part of your home ties? That might explain why the VO is asking why you didn't apply together. Let's be clear, no one makes the decision to stay back in Nigeria then decide to move to the US on a whim - it is a carefully thought-through plan. Which suggests that you deliberately chose to apply separately.

2. Your wife claims to have a business, but is just fine leaving it all alone to make dinner for her husband?

3. Your answer regarding how being together is less expensive doesn't make sense. Your wife is not permitted to work on an F2 visa... so your only source of income in the US is your stipend if any. If she were in Nigeria, you could share expenses since she will be running her business.
Bear in mind, the VO is also aware that costs of living are far higher in the US than Nigeria.

Please I am asking for a friend. When he filled his DS160 intially he selected Lagos as the location for the interview but he got appointment date for Abuja. Later on, he filled another DS160 with Abuja as location and the confirmation number on the DS160 form has changed however he could not update his confirmation number on the cgi profile. Please what can he do? Should he go to Abuja for the interview with the old confirmation number which corresponds with the number on appointment confirmation page or the new confirmation number which doesn't correspond with the number on the appointment confirmation page?
