Please house, I'm trying to book for a visa interview date, but the system is asking me for receipt number? I'm kinda confused - what receipt number exactly? undecided

I thought I will get to the end of the form before it prompts me to pay the visa application fees and then generate a number for my application? or does this mean I will have to go (physically) to GTB bank and pay first, then the bank will generate a receipt number, which I will enter into the online form? I just confuse for this platform!!! Please someone advise abeg, I have abandoned the form o!

Step 1
Fill DS160
Step 2
Pay Visa Fees
Step 3
Book appointment and enter the numbers you got at submission of Step 1 and payment in Step 2.

If you don't provide both, you won't be able to book appointment at Step 3

You will need to make payment to GTB prior to booking an appointment. You can go to the bank physically or pay online. Either ways, a receipt number will be generated for you to use in hooking the appointment. If you are going to the bank physically, you will need to go with your passport and if paying online, you will need your passport number.

All the best.

PS: Whats the earliest date available? Are you able to view it?

Quick question.

Good day all,

Please whats your experience with booking flights with a travel agent versus booking directly through the airline? As per cost, ease of changing flight dates, general help and support etc.

I want to go through a travel agent but mu husband is trying to book directly through the airline company.

Thanks

Thanks. Yet to book. I abandoned it. I guess not all GTB banks can be approached for this purpose. I think I saw Gbagada, Lagos online, but it's kinda far. undecided

Hello everyone

My july appointment in abuja was just cancelled and i don't see a favorable date. Im a resident of another country. How do i schedule an appointment in the country im resident in? When i try to login to ustraveldocs website with my email address, it redirects me to Nigeria. Do i have to apply all over again considering the fact that i have one pending in Nigeria? Or do i have to change email address?

Id appreciate responses.
Thank you all

Dear experienced Gurus!

Pls help my sister with your advice, she has been to the US on two occasions on two different US visas, she wants to renew again. The issue is that, on the two previous visas, she used her boyfriend’s name as spouse, she claimed married but never presented any marriage certificate, she also did not bears her boyfriend’s surname, unfortunately the relationship ended two years ago, now she’s married and she’s afraid to change the old spouse name on her form to her present husband’s name due to fear of denial.

Kindly advise her on what she needs to do. Your suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Yes. Separate DS160 for everyone

2. Can I pay visa fee using Gtbank application or I need to visit a bank.

Yes. The most convenient.

3. How do I merged the 3 application together when booking appointment.

You will see Add Dependants when filling out ustraveldoc for appointment

4. Can I do all these using my mobile phone or Tablet or I need to visit a cyberCafe since laptop is damaged.

Any actually, but a wide screen device will make it easier. The form fields don't resize more than certain pixels. Use you tablet.

5. How do I book interview appointments once all this is completed.

Create a profile at ustraveldoc.ng, provide DS160 and GTB confirmation numbers

Thanks all and Jah bless.

Get an affidavit for name change, which must have legal documents backing the affidavit. Divorce certificate.
In the application, there is a place for any previous names, she should fill it truthfully.
Since she listed him as spouse previously, she has to get a divorce certificate. The US will want to know what happened to that legal union as (mis)represented previously to them

Are you sure about this statement?

If you have a GTB online account, simply make the payment from home. You don't need to go to a bank branch for this.

The advantage of an agent is you will have someone do the work for the date change. It will cost you a fee or a lot (if you got a ticket with plenty restrictions)

If you do it yourself, you will save agent fees, but may not get the best deal, and you are probably going to pick the lowest fare price, which 9 out of 10 is a ticket with plenty restrictions.

Hello Everyone,
I got a mail that the B1/B2 visiting visa I booked got cancelled yesterday, but on checking my account on CGI, the appointment is still active and showing scheduled. Should I be worried? Has anyone encountered this lately? If an appointment is cancelled, shouldn't it reflect on the dashboard on CGI?

May God make all our plans succeed.

Thanks for your response. The previous marriage was not backed by law or registry certificate, how can she get a divorced letter? Because there was nothing binding them? It was just a form of cohabitation. Kindly advice further, thanks.

"The issue is that, on the two previous visas, she used her boyfriend’s name as spouse, she claimed married but never"

Thats why she shouldn't have lied in her application.
She signed two different DS160 n the past saying she is married, when she wasn't. And the form clearly asks at submission "are you sure all the info is true and correct blah blah blah", she ticked the box Yes. Twice.

Cohabitation doesn't confer name change, which she did.

A lot of Nigerians don't go to registry or church or mosque to be married. Ordinary meet the parents counts as valid official marriage, and the embassy recognizes this.

To get out of the pickle she created, tell her to consider what I suggested. The embassy doesn't like when people misrepresent themselves.

Even the never married now ex boyfriend is in the same spot with her. In their records, he's married to her.

Get a new passport ASAP. I was in this situation when i applied for my last US and Canadian visa. I was advised to get a new passport. After acquiring the new passport , i inserted the new passport number in my online application forms .Then i attached the old and new passport together with a rubber band. So i will advice you to do the same.
