Please i need some help and insight, I have been trying to book a Visa Interview Waiver and I finally got a date for August 2023. The appointment confirmation states its an interview waiver but its stating that I come for an appointment in the location of Walter Carrington. Has anyone been in this position, to shed some more light?

Visa alert. Let me share my story in the spirit of giving back. I applied with my daughter
First time applying to the US
we applied for a visa at the beginning of 2022 and got a date in 2023. We initially wanted to go on summer vacation, but had to change our plans and applied to the UK, got our visa, went on vacation and came back.

Before we went to the uk, dates got freed up due to the interview waiver and we got a date for late 2022. I did all the booking by myself, with no agent and God by my side.

A month to the interview date, we filled a new DS 160 form, snapped new photographs, and updated it on my appointment page, i had difficulty filling the form, it just kept logging me out and i also had difficulty adding the newly completed DS160 form for my daughter, i had to call the embassy and they helped me to update it. A few weeks to the interview date, our appointment was moved but thank God the change in date was for just about a week.

I printed our confirmation pages, hard copies of our passport photographs and our payment receipt. Our appointment was supposed to be for 11.00am but we got to Walter carrington at about 6.30am, joined the queue, we had to drop our bags, phones in the car, no smart watches allowed, no sharp objects, no keys.

After about an hour on the queue we were ushered into the interview building, I did my biometrics and joined the queue for the interview. Blue papers were just flying about. All through only one white paper and the man is a frequent traveler.

I stayed on the queue and was directed to the 4th window, a woman.
She asked for my name, asked for my occupation, asked why I am traveling to the US and the duration of my visit. Asked where I would be staying, I had booked hotel reservations and she asked why I would be visiting the US, I told her my daughter has been dreaming about visiting all the fun places . She asked for my husband's occupation and why he is not traveling with us. Also asked for places we have been together. Asked if I have family in the US

She typed for long, she spent a lot of time typing, we were probably there for the duration for three sets of interview session. She finally said she would place us on AP and returned our passports to us gave us a white slip that ticked that we didn't need to provide any documents and then the wait began. I felt really bad because i thought it would end in a refusal, ans also because my only purpose in the US is tourism, i dont have any intentions of overstaying.

When I tracked the application it showed refused and some things about AP, after 2 working days we were called to drop our passports. After 6 working days it changed to approved , after 2 working days it changed to issued and the next working day we were contacted to pick up our passports.

I wish to thank all the wonderful people on this platform for sharing their experiences, it sure goes a long way. Note that no document was requested from me. All the documents I took along was not requested for

Try flipkey or hipcamp. They're still looking for guests around the globe so, you'd find amazimg deals with them.

Someone suggested Airbnb earlier. It's also good but dem don chop belle full now. Use greyhounds with your family to NY from NJ as previously suggested and alight at either NY Washington Bridge or NY Port Authority Station, depending on where you're going in NY, you can join the train from either of these stations. Choose any greyhounds route with less number of stops cos of family. Train stations are always congested in that axis, coming to NY. If you were alone, better for you and that's why I'm suggesting a greyhounds bus. In case you're leaving for your destination via NY JFK at the end of your visit, enter a train anywhere going to Sutfin Builevard. Alight there and find your way right into NYJFK Airport. Its less stressful this way with your family.

Good evening,
I need help. I did a drop box and my passport was returned. I was asked to schedule interview appointment. Are my supposed to pick a date like others (available date for Lagos is Aug 2024) or I will be given a special consideration for a closer date?

Thanks

Please, does anyone have a contact person in Dhl Hafsat Plaza in Abuja. I’m experiencing a bit of an issue. They messaged that my passport is ready for pickup but I go to the dhl link and it’s showing that my record was not found.
Please and please help me because I have waited this long to get my passport only for this. I need the passport asap as I want to urgently submit it for Canada processing.
If you have a contact person that can help me schedule appointment for pickup, I’ll be grateful.
