Hello house!

For F1 and F2 that apply together for visa interview. Does F1 applying for Emergency Appointment also apply to F2?

I mean, when F1's EA date is granted, will F2 also be given same date as the EA date given to F1?

Thanks for always.
The EA date is applicable to both F1 and F2

Please, my request for emergency appointment was just denied because I didn't submit my DS160 although I have completed it.

I would like to ask if anyone knows if I can reapply immediately and how I can do that.

Please I need answers urgently, I'm supposed to resume by May 24

Sorry about that. There was space to upload all supporting documents including the DS 160 confirmation. Anyways, you can apply only once, if you want to benefit from that opportunity again, you have to pay another visa fee (which I will personally not do) or keep checking for earlier date.

Best of luck

Hello all,

I have an issue. The location that was chosen for my dependents (Lagos) on ds160 is different from the location that we want to interview (Abuja). I can change my ds160 on "update profile" with Abuja as interview location, but there is no way to update for dependents. Will this cause an issue during interview?

You have to put a call through the embassy so they can update dependant's info

Hello everyone,

Thanks for all the heads up on EA and all. I am resuming this fall on the 15th of August and I plan to apply for EA by June 15th.
However, Lagos was the location I picked and I am now paranoid about it since I have heard a lot of people say Abuja responds to EA faster.

My questions are:
1. Can I rely on Lagos to get an EA date?
2. How can I change my location to Abuja? - at least Abuja looks easier to get EA when one applies for it.

Please let me know how changing to Abuja can be done! ��

I'm in a similar boat as yours, I want to know if I'll have to pay a new visa fee if I change my location to Abuja...I already chose Lagos and picked November 10th for my appointment.

You don't have to pay another fee. In my opinion, your resumption date is still far. Spending extra (going to Abuja) is not necessary. Apply for EA when you are within 60days to resumption and wait till end of June at least.
PS: You can change to Abuja by filling a new DS160, updating your profile on the Visa page then you will be able to see Abuja dates
Best of luck

Hello people!

Please I need some clarification.
I just gained admission for Fall 2022 and I’ll be resuming by August. Although, I do not have funding yet. So I applied for Out-of-State Tuition Waiver under Centre for Global Engagement in my school but this will cover only a part of my tuition fee.
My questions go like these:

1. What are the chances of making up for my deficit when I finally get there?
2. I'm about requesting for my I-20 and my COA shows $21,000. At what rate can I convert to naira? Again, can I get approval by using a sponsor who is not a member of my family but willing to help? If No, what idea can I use to make the sponsor claim my family name?
3. If I should pay my SEVIS fee and apply for Visa next week, can I still be given Month of May appointment date?



1. It depends on your school. You can apply for campus jobs like working at the library, dining, sport center etc. You can apply for a GA if your department is looking for one. You can search other places in your school that has vacancy. In all, you can only do 20hours. "Can this 20hours job pay my deficit?" I doubt
2. CBN online rate because that's the same place your school will go for rate. You can't claim someone that's not your family. As long as you can state clearly why the person will sponsor you, you are good to go.
3. If there's May appointment by that time, you should get one.

Bro I greet you. But if you could please help him, help him. I go with the idea that he wasn't seen as a serious student. I'll be happy if you could help him with suggestions on how he could go from an unserious candor to a very serious one.
Blessings.

Me:I plan to work with the council for scientific and Industrial research as a research scientist.

Me: I have been offered a GRA to work on **** project which Is funded by the US department of Energy. It takes care of my full tuition fees , health insurance and living expenses

My case was a bit complicated
1st attempt I wrote I was unemployed
2nd attempt I changed to I was employed not knowing they have access to 1st ds160

3rd attempt I maintained it as employed and found an explanation to it

On ds 160 reason for denial I highlighted on my strength to set the tone down for the interview

I really prayed a lot and fasted a lot. Hope everyone here have an approved visa

Hello everyone, I just scheduled an emergency appointment with the US embassy last night. After submission, I noticed a typographical error was made.

My earliest entry date into the US is July 22 2022. I made an error in the Tentative Travel Date by putting 4/26/2022 as against 7/26/2022 which is when I hope to enter the
United States.

I have called the embassy, us visa office, sent a mail and they said my entry cannot be modified. I should wait for a response either approving or denying my request.

The emergency visa appointment can only be requested once and if denied in Abuja consulate, cannot be done in Lagos consulate. What are the chances of getting an emergency date with my error form? As it may be seen as prolly trying to play a fast one...

If an emergency appointment was rejected? What is the best solution to reverse this to be in time for studies by mid August?

If the emergency visa appointment is rejected, is it possible to pay another visa fee and be able to select another appointment? Has anyone had a peculiar case, what's the way forward?

@justwise please


First of all you should have waited for 60days to apply for EA,that is the Requirement. Its always important to follow the rules.

If your EA is rejected, change location from Abuja to lagos and reapply in due time if you have not changed location before o,thats all I can suggest now. Hear from others, goodluck.

Thank you. Although I heard if you are changing from Lagos to Abuja on the visa page, you don't have to fill a new DS160 - that the form can be accessed from any of the consulates actually.

It's not like I have extra money to spend to fly to Abuja and back etc but I would like to confirm - How many people have gotten EA response from Lagos on time after they requested it? I would really love testimonies from people who have had this experience.
