Kindly advice pls.
I had filled my DS-160 form, also created a profile awaiting scheduling visa appointment; but I realized a mistake on DS-160 which I'd like to correct.
Do I go ahead to schedule an appointment/interview date and later effect correction on DS-160 OR should I fill out a fresh DS-160 form and open a new profile?

Hello fellow Nairalanders, I qualify for the revised 48 months Dropbox rule but my question is how do I get a us visa for my new born child under this rule? Please someone should enlighten me, thank you

Check the US immigration page.

Thanks for the response.
But there's somewhere it was discussed on this thread. Still searching...

You need to submit your visa first, after issuance of visa, I think your new born is qualified automatically, all you need to do is pay the baby visa fees, fill the Ds160 form and open profile/scheduling page for the baby and send a mail from the profile/scheduling account to U.S embassy, they will take it up from there.

Hello guys,

Pls can someone whose visa expired in 2019 but got refused at the point of dropbox renewal same year, be eligible for the interview waiver now.

Thank God she gave you a clue for your refusal. Try to apply for UK or EU visa, go on trips in Europe, that should convince the American embassy and please don't reapply again for now.

Yes you can correct it, just retrieve the old form and start a new application, almost 90% of your info would be on the new form and remember to change the old ds160 number in your cgi profile.

She's basically saying you can't afford your trip. Wait, finish school, get a job then try again.

Hi everyone,
Please I need your candid advice
I am license Auto dealer, I plan to go to US for short business trip (10-14 days) to source my cars myself to physically inspect the cars. Please what are my chances of getting approval?
I have a wife and kids
Never step foot out the country before
Thanks In advance

I never knew this page exists here on nairaland thank God Sha, please I have a question I booked an appointment for b1/b2 us visa and got Nov 2023 as the date as the first one that was scheduled for 2020 was cancelled, someone told me that he can cancel it again and get me a closer date, I don't know if that's possible as I heard you don't schedule more than twice, am really confused as I don't know if it is possible

No it won't affect your interview date and CGI is the website you use in getting appointment date.

Take your time to go through the previous thread especially Part 2 and 3 because from experience they usually deny a lot of vehicle dealers probably because you're basically going to U.S to work as a vehicle inspector there by taking the job from a U.S citizen.

You shouldn't cancel twice oooo... but if you can afford the visa fees, you're free to go ahead.

What is the earliest date for visa appointment?
