lol usual open ended response did they give a time frame or we justy check everyday?

Beelaye:


Since there is still a month, if u fill ur form and submit on time u should be able to get a date. U won’t know unless u try.

Femaleoutfit:
Please does this mean that pple who are not qualified for drop box dont get approval to pick a date

Beelaye:


When u go to where u are to pick a date, it will ask u a series of questions to determine if u are qualified for Dropbox. If u are not then it will direct u to pick a date for the normal interview. So either u get the Dropbox or the normal interview date.

It's strange. I have a similar situation, but mine is IW. The status was "Application received" for 7weeks but the "case updated" date changed 3 times during the period. Then last week, it suddenly changed to "No status" which made me suspect they needed me to show for an interview, in which case they would send my passport back to me. But my passport has still not been released. Called them and they confirmed that my passport is still with the consulate/embassy, and said they would initiate an escalation to find out why the "No status". Still waiting for feedback.

deeteeneey:
hello,

My mum qualified for the interview waiver, she already submitted the application and scheduled an interview date to drop passport in April.

She got an email today the advising that the interview date has been brought forward to March 20. The issue is she's scheduled to travel before that date out of the country.

Is there anyone who has experienced this or knows what she needs to do to change the date to April. Her upcoming travel is important and she already factored the previous date when purchasing her ticket.[

nuttycaptain:
I don't think you can change IW appointment date. That was what I was told by the customer service agents, when I called to try and change my date. I was told all I can do is wait for the appointment date, not show up/drop off my documents and then about 48 hours after the date I would be able to use the same receipt to book another appointment date.

Although, I got the same mail that a few people said they received today, informing me that my appointment date has been rescheduled to next week, approximately 1 month earlier than the date I initially chose.

Kunsoft:
What Month in 2019. mine expires in 30th December 2018 do qualify for drop box?

hadigun:


Not hard.

I applied for a visiting visa alongside my family in December 2022. Got appointment date for January 6, 2023. VISA APPROVED with no document requested. Grace followed me sha. I’m on a student visa in the Uk. Though I’ve finished studying but my BRP is still valid. For another 2months.

Go to the US site. Apply and include a genuine purpose for travelling. Get a date for appointment and get in touch. I might help

Beelaye:


No time frame. And I asked. They said keep checking.
I beg if u check and see it’s open write it here so the rest of us can pick. Will do the same

kennyliza:
Hello House, has anyone experienced a long delay by over 1 month in issuance of IW Visa? When tracked, it says "approved" since February 15th, calling the Embassy is not helpful as they are clueless, what is the way forward please

Diamondroyal:

I have a US visa interview appointment on April 19, 2024, and my passport will expire on October 14, 2024.

Can I apply for a U.S. visa if my passport has less than six months validity?

Debbieeeeeee:

Less than six months validity , no they won’t allow. Get a new passport and go with both, they’ll issue on the new one, this happened with my mom a few months ago.

Bejewelled:
You can go ahead and schedule an interview, if you want to. The passport I used to book an interview in November 2021 was renewed a few months ago.
I used the new passport for my interview today and just mentioned that it was a different passport from what was on my DS-160.

I was told that it doesn't matter, as they would work with my new passport. The old one wasn't asked for, at all, even though I had it with me.

Oluwa18:
Hi all,
It’s been a long time I was absent from here.
Do we still have US immigration thread?

I can’t find it and needed to follow it.

Please help if you have it.

Also I wanted to ask how long is police certificate valid? My mom had hers in September and I just read it’s only eligible for 3 months but I’m NVC website, they said police certificate is valid for 2 years.

Please what do you advise? She’s processing for immigration visa. Thank you

Ajalalomo:


Thank you for the information.

According to what I heard or read online, I can only begin the passport renewal process six months before its expiration date.

My passport will expire on October 14, 2024. This means that the earliest I may begin my passport renewal process in 2024 is April 14, and my US visa appointment interview is scheduled for April 19.

This is a serious issue.

meljoe:
Please why filling the ds 160 form , about travel history in the last years , I have a France visa but I didn’t use it because I had to settle down in the uk. Should I add France as a travel history though I didn’t use the visa or I shouldn’t ?

Debbieeeeeee:

For myself my passport expires in October this year and I started the renewal process in January, got a capture date for March.
For my mom then her interview was November, started passport process in august, she captured in October ending and got her passport in two weeks, right on time for the interview.
You can begin the process before it’s left with six months validity, you can capture before 6 months but they won’t begin production till it’s left with 6 months(this happened with my sibling) or you pay for migration and production begins immediately regardless of expiration.
I hope I’ve been able to shed enough light on passport wahala and the woes of being a Nigerian passport holder m.

hadigun:
