Hi. I can't find where it says anything about visa fees by May 2022? can you help

Newbiein2016:
Yes. It was extended to cover 48months so even if your last visa expired around Dec 2018, you should be eligible.

However do note that you must have paid your visa fees by May 2022 to enjoy the interview waiver service.

A few people have opined that they were able to get dates and confirmation even with MRV receipts made after this time so feel free to confirm this when you're scheduling your date.

I think it has been removed now , so everyone that qualifies for IW appointment can apply irrespective of the date the visa fees was paid.

I’ve done that it’s still same issue. I can even get passed the first page to select location. I choose Lagos Nigeria and it reloads and kicks me out. Sometimes it just doesn’t bring the list of countries/locations for me to choose from so I’m stuck.

It’s been same way since last night.�

Don't get tired of trying. It happened to me too. I finally woke up one day around 2am and I completed it. Keep trying.

Hello everyone.Please I need help.I qualify for IW but I already have a 2024 date.How do I pick an iw date because my profile isn't showing any link to do that.Thanks

Ok . Thanks a lot. This helps me know it’s not a me problem. I appreciate your response.

This won't fly with the embassy. Why would a friend want to sponsor you and your wife? He will cough out thousands of dollars for a fun trip for you guys? Ok oooooo
They also don't bother with invitation letters.

thanks plss what can we do on this issue

so plss what can we do I need you suggestion

TWoods:


He or she is fooling you. An invitation is a waste of paper, the visa officers will adjudicate your application based on whether they think you and your wife are qualified for a visa.

Plsss I need your advice what can I do on this now

have fate it might not be cancel since there is more IW now so keep the hope alive

HRprof:


Okay I understand, is better to choose Lagos, I’m regretting choosing Abuja, my appointment is yet to be canceled I know it will be canceled definitely by embassy. Is good they are giving opportunity to reschedule canceled appointments with location option without requesting for another visa payment.
If I understand you correctly that’s applicable to what you did right ?

YEs boss i didnt input any Visa receipt ( MRV ) i think the system revalidate it
and my fees suppose to expired last year december cause i hear Visa fees last for 1 year but mine still working..

I only added my Daughter own, cause she was not yet gave birth to doing the time i booked ours in january 2021

My dear I’m using laptop and Wi-Fi ohh. The thing frustrated me but I’ve finally done it. I even changed laptop thinking it was the issue. Thanks alot

thanks plss what can we do on this issue

The first question you should ask yourself is what exactly is the trip for?

Can't you sponsor yourself?

What ties do you have in Nigeria? I believe this is a major criteria.

Do you have a job that can handle the cost of the trip? If yes then sponsor yourself .

adigun27:
thanks plss what can we do on this issue

If it is japa related then try student visa or try another country.

Cancel your current 2024 appointment and retry to get the IW options

hello everyone please has anyone been able to physically submit their application at the embassy for an interview waiver?

1.) The first question I have is do we have to physically go to the embassy at vi to drop our passport and other documents and not at dhl office? I ask because I think people are confusing drop box with interview waiver

2.) Please if anyone has successfully submitted please can you share your experience, and help clarify if we are to drop documents at dal or at embassy as no one has addressed this or brought it up?

3.) has anyone who submitted gotten a response what's the timeline for a response, thanks?

Hello so the IW also called drop box u can only do this at two centers in Lagos the specified DHL office in ikeja and Isolo. And pick up at your chosen state I think 6 states but lagos is either VI or Isolo, Ibadan it’s at DHL ring road which you have to make payment of about #6,400.
2) My mum and I went for the submission at ikeja so apparently she doesn’t need to come cos I basically did the submission for her.
3) she got a message back after a week to pick up. But I really don’t know what the time line will be now that there are more openings.

hello eni, thanks for your swift response so my appointment is jan 5th and the thing there is that on the appointment confirmation it states this: as the appointment;

Address:
LAGOS
2 Walter Carrington Crescent,
Victoria Island,
Lagos,
Appointment Date: Monday January 5, 2023

my question here is so I'm meant to go to the dal office in Ikeja to submit my document and not the American embassy on Walter carrington VI?

It’s for IW. Fresh applicant will attend interview.
The information you filled whilst booking the appointment it’s for IW so it’s for you to go drop at specified location.

Hello tiptoe1

Hello All,
Decided to share this here to help someone. Finished filling and submission of my DS160 June 23rd. Paid MRV June 24th and went on to book appointment but only saw dates in 2024 and no date for Interview Waiver which I qualified. Was checking the apointment portal regularly but was getting no appointment available IW. Then I read somewhere here that IW dates will be available from 1st November and so Iput in my calender to check on that date. It was a long wait from August or so. 1st November, I logged on still no date but it took me to click something that i guessed sent an email to them. 10th November(a Thursday), got an email that I should log into my appointment portal and book appointment. But two days only 14th and 15th November available. No other dates was available 2022 and even 2023. Booked 14th, which was a Monday for 12noon.
On the appointment day, I raised to Walter Carringhton and was waiting for my 12noon slot. 11:45am, I approached the security at Walter Carringthon and was scanned, and got through to a Long table. Then the next big news was released, "You are to do your submission at DHL Office, 75 Obafemi Awolowo Way, Ikeja, they are waiting for you" Just picked my envelope and head up to Ikeja. Got there at the nick of time as it was almost 1pm and collection stops 1pm. Dropped it successfully and head back to base.
On 18th November," Your document(s) have been collected from the US Embassy/Consulate" in my mailbox and was repeated on 20th. It was not clear to me and so I went to document pick up location. Behold my passport is back and -----------it was approved! Follow me Thank God ooo.
What is the learning here ; patience is key, decisions already made based on your DS160 among other things and lastly Baba God is involved.

Which dates are available now for Drop Box?

wow congrat

Hi, I got this response when I tried to book an IW appointment. I was hoping to see a calendar to choose a date. Please, is this normal?

I got messages since last week Friday but I have not gotten any further responses.
