Good evening guys, please I am a bit confused; does the below mean Passport photo or international passport?

Pearlmadeit:

It's been a month and I'm still at this stage.
Someone else said they've waited 2 months. Can I email them to release the account so I can continue the search myself?

Oh my, up till now, I haven’t gotten an email. I’m really confused. I really don’t know if one can email them directly, because the email I got from them was an automated email and one can’t reply them.

Purplestorm:
Good day guys, I applied for visit visa and got this response. I am applying for Dropbox. Please what does it mean?

Got same response and this is my first time applying, I haven’t gotten an email yet, also please what’s a drop box? Does it mean renewal? I was asked a question it says ‘did your visa expire less than 48 months ago’. I clicked No because I’ve not had a visa before and it’s my first time applying, I hope it’s not the wrong application I did since I’m a first timer?

Go to your bank. You can't make payments to anyone here. It is what the bank uses as FX rate on the day you wish to pay you will pay.
US Embassy wants $185. Make plans around whatever Naira you will use to get $185

U.S. Embassy and Consulate. in Nigeria
On June 17, the fee for visitor visas for business or tourism (B1/B2s and BCCs), and other non-petition based NIVs such as student and exchange visitor visas, will increase from $160 to $185

And I’m not buying it from anyone here, I was told Is almost 150k, so I’m shocked and want to be sure

I Agree with you on the travel history, Travel history was one of the major thing they were asking when I got mine approved here in UAE.

flavann:


Thats your opinion i stated mine base on my observation, i have been applying for usa visa since 2001, and have studied them, any application to any embassies now rely on travel history, before trump first traveler usually get usa visa easily, not anymore, only few people get now. trump personally raised this issue that usa embassy should be doing same just like europe uk and canada, to vet document. Usa dont verify student bank statement before trump now they are doing so. I stated with travel history u stand the chance of 75 percent, other things come to play like Job, marriage and age. until i had travel history to france, italy, swiss, germany. thats when i got my visa, after 6 applications.

Hello guys!

I made visa payment through my GT bank app. How long does it take for payment to be confirmed and how will I confirm the payment.

What next after payment?

It’s 75200 at GT bank. The visa fee is based on the official exchange rate of 406/$ not black market rate

Visa fee has actually gone up.

komome:

Yes it went up from $160 to $185
But the point is you pay based on the official cbn exchange rate which is 406/$.
I just renewed my visa last week, and that’s what was paid (#75200).

.

deegalaxy:
The increasement has not yet taken effect, it was postponed.

Today is June 30

Immediately.

There is a place in your app to see history for the visa fee. Print it. Your Visa Fee Number is in the document. MRV Number.
You will need it to book appointment, which is the next thing to do

I was just denied expedite request now. Please who can help me out n this visa interview schedule. My sch resumption date is early August, 2023. Can I re-apply for emergency or I should apply for another visa? Or what can I do my fellow Nairalander.

None! Even Qatar that was cheap has gone up. This is high season so it is expected.

It’s not 406/$
The exchange rate is currently at 750/$ and that was the rate I used to pay for my MRV on Wednesday through gt also

There is no official rate or black market rate again. One of the first thing Tinubu's government did was 'float the Naira'. No more cap on FX by CBN or Banks.
The banks will sell you USD based on the prevailing FX rate of the day you walk in to their banking hall or use mobile banking.

Hello guys, thanks so much for the great conversations here. Very informative.

Please I plan on visiting Nigeria on July 5, 2023 and applying immediately for the dropbox to renew my F1 visa. Please for those who recently applied for the dropbox, Is there a chance of getting a date plus having my visa renewed before Sept 9, 2023?
