Submitted my passport for IW on March 23rd and status has finally changed to APPROVED today, Tuesday, May 2nd. Does anyone have any idea how long it will take for me to get my passport? I have a visa appointment on Friday, May 5th and wondering if I will have to reschedule it. Any ideas?

After Approved you will have to wait for it to change to Issue, then it will be transfer to DHL, So expect between 2-4 weeks.

You can input the name of the tourist attraction center you plan to visit incl their phone numbers and probably email details
OR
Input the name and contact of the hotel you want to stay if staying in hotels

Guess I will just input the hotel name and contact then

Goodmorning All,

So I started filling my DS-160 form and I presently need your clarification on the part where I need to input U.S. Point of contact information.

I intend going for tourism and I have made my accommodation booking regarding that. So I’m confused in the contact person they want me to input.

Can the house help me clarify what to input for the contact person surname and given names as well as the organization name.

My plan is solely for tourism and vacation.

input the address of one of the tourist places you'd be visiting and their telephone in your DS-160. If you're appearing for an interview, you can mention other places you'd be visiting to the VO as well.

Sometime ago, i was going for a vacation in California and I intended visiting Knotts Berry Farm and Disneyland close-by. I imputed only the knott berry farm's contact details in my DS-160 but mentioned Disneyland in addition,during my interview. The rest was history.

Okay thanks for this as well. I will get the contact details from one of the places I intend visiting.

Lagos

Please I really need help urgently.

When it says its ready for pick up, does it mean its still at the embassy or at DHL?
Am asking because its been saying ready for pickup when I track it on the embassy site but when I input his details in the DHL site, its saying his details are not correct.
Please help, this has been going on since February. Thank you

Thanks for the reply. Please do you have an Idea how long it takes before the pick up mail is sent out. Asking because its been showing ready for pickup since last week Wednesday and yet no mail

If you are near the DHL office why don't you try and check
I was not asked for any mail just told them I want to pick my passport up.

Ok, thank you. Will do as you suggested.

for those on follow up interview dates are available now for 12th of may

My cousin who was served 221g in March had been checking. Last week, he told me he saw 4 different dates with 8 different times when he checked around 5:30pm. He said he couldn't choose any date because he was busy so he thought of doing that later. By the time he logged back, all the available dates had disappeared lol. I guess those who had been waiting like him had taken everything. He felt so bad

Yesterday he logged back in the morning and checked, no dates. Later, around 1:30pm he said he logged back again. He had even given up with the last week's experience but I encouraged him to keep checking. Cos his programme in the USA was really close. He said he saw 4th May and 12th May and quickly booked 4th May and logged out.

With what you're now saying, it means you were unable see 4th May when you checked cos people had taken it. Maybe that 12th May you mentioned was no more as of the time you posted this message. Maybe more people are applying these days cos summer is approaching. It wasn't like this last December when a friend advised me to apply cos there were a lot of close dates for IW applicants then. He applied in December and received his passport back within a space of one week. Mine took 3 weeks in march and who knows, those applying now could experience more delays, Summer is approaching.

To those paying for interview dates. There's no secret or special favour to it. You cannot bribe those oyinbos to get dates. This is what you're not doing, which I'd encourage you try, if you need an appointment date.

Log into your cgi portal in the morning, around 9:30am, try again around 12:30, 1:30pm and 5:30pm respectively. You'd thank me later. Those agents you're contacting know these tips but would never tell you. By the time they finally get dates for you, you see them as superhuman. You may keep giving them your money if you don't have time to do the needful.

I paid when I picked up

Thanks!

Hi guys ,
My IW was refused last month but am yet to get a mail for passport pick up.
I have been tracking my passport but still shows is at the embassy.
This afternoon I decided to check my appointment page then saw a prompt showing scheduled follow up appointment but there was no date.
Please note that I haven’t received my passport back.
Will I attend the interview without my passport?

My dad submitted in surulere too and I picked up in dhl abuja
