Hey !

Your question is kinda confusing but let me try .
If your interview is scheduled for Abuja but your DHL pick up is in Lagos ..do you need a new appointment letter ?

Well generally if you change an information (DS 160, Passport no, DHL pick center etc ) inside your CGI portal then you need to print another appointment letter because your CGI page will auto update your appointment letter so the one in your hand already is useless .

Now. 1. Login to your CGI (if you have access to it and if agent is assisting you tell him to ). 2. From your CGI page click on appointment confirmation. 3. Click email appointment. 4. Go to that your email and print a new appointment letter . Automatically your new DHL pick up will reflect in the new appointment letter .

But if you mean ordinary mailing address inside your CGI then leave it like that don't print another appointment confirmation. YOU ONLY NEED TO PRINT NEW APPOINTMENT CONFIRMATION IF YOU HAVE CHANGED YOUR DHL PICK INSIDE YOUR CGI AND YOU WANT IT TO REFLECT INSIDE YOUR APPOINTMENT CONFIRMATION. Hope i answer your question ?

It will say record not found if you try scheduling a pick up via your phone because your date of birth, which must be filled-in would be hidden, due to the size of your phone screen. Activate the auto rotate function, which is usually on the top of your phone(see attached/encircled for details), turn the phone to the palm mode, (by turning it either left or right) to reveal the full page and you'd be able to see your date of birth column clearly. Alternatively, you can schedule on your computer.

You can also pick up anytime. Just go to your preferred dhl office anytime you wish to pick up, schedule while you're in their premises. Usually, you would not be able to schedule for pick up same day you're going. Don't bother yourself, schedule
for any later date while you're still there. They'd still attend to you. What's important is for your information to be available on their system.

Eriokanmi:
Did the agent lace his tongue with juju to hypnotise people who are desperately in need of date ? You can DIY. If you picked a far-reaching date and you feel you have compelling reasons to request an expedited appointment, don't bother to mail them cos you definitely won't
get the kind of help you need. Moreover, they're always overwhelmed with mails so, they may send you a FAQs link or send a generic response. Nothing could be more annoying. Instead, you call them on 012278955. Try and speak with an agent. You'd get connected immediately as the line isn't always busy. Follow the voice prompt and try to speak with an agent. The below is how to go about this.

1- Dial 012278955
2- Enter 4, on your dialling pad after the voice prompt
3- Enter 2, after the voice prompt
4- Enter 0, after the voice prompt
5- Enter 5, after the voice prompt and you'd be directed to an agent immediately.

If you don't follow the above, you'd get lost cos there are loads of information which would be thrown at you by the answering machine. Apart from being confused, you'd end up wasting your time and burning all your airtime. See the attached picture for a hint.

The agent would ask you some security questions to be sure you're the right applicant. Tell her why your interview should be brought to an earlier date. This has worked for like 2 people I introduced this to. She'd put you on hold while she checks the preferred date, if available, or she suggests a close one. Please note that, you must have booked an appointment , even if its year 2030 before calling.This information I'm sharing is worth even more than the 5m naira which the hungry and callous agent is asking you to pay. This thread was set up by the OP, to assist people for free but some people do take advantage of it to make money from unsuspecting applicants.

I've never paid a dime to receive a visa and I've been travelling to the states for almost 20 years now, even took people to US without collecting a dime. I'm not an agent so,no DMs please. I'm only saying this so people who are billing their fellow Nigerians who need help should have a change of orientation. In those days, I'd visit Indian threads to read about various visa categories and see how they're assisting one another free of charge, as if they're related. We should emulate them. No be everything be money. Meanwhile, members on that thread are' thousands of km apart yet, they help as if they're closely related, FOC.

NewBoyKhashoggi:


Hey !

Nobody in Nigeria or abroad can claim to have power to influence the issuance of visa ESPECIALLY at the United States Embassy .

What any genuine and experienced travel agent can do for you is to apply for a conference for you , book your hotel reservation, pay your visa fee , book your appointment, and provide supporting documents for you . He can also do some visa questionnaire practice for you so that you will know the possible questions and what to answer . BUT THE AGENT CANNOT GUARANTEE YOU THE VISA 100% EVEN IF YOU PAY HIM OR HER 1 BILLION. But you can give it a try and be careful anyways . There are genuine travel agents but they cannot guarantee visas especially the US visa.

Is this open to just anyone. Like I can try it myself and it could work for me ?

Also I have a question that’ll need your advice on :

Here’s a brief about me :

I’m 26 y/o now. I traveled to India in 2009 and Ghana in like 2015 or so. So in my DS-160 it’s obvious I can’t put I’ve been outside the country cos I can’t fill I’ve been anywhere in the last 5 years

Now I’ve been denied 3 times at the US embassy. 2 happened in 2014 for a B1/B2 visa that I went with my mum, tho I was under 18. I only got questioned in one of the interviews and I messed it up big time. Then the other one, they didn’t ask me anything.

The final one was in 2021 for F1 visa. I was denied again I applied for an undergrad course sha.

Now I want to try the visit route again and I want to do it myself. I work as a Software engineer and I’m thinking of the best way I can do this. I don’t have any direct relative in the US, but I’m in talks with some distant relatives and I don’t know if I should be asking them for an invitation. I definitely need hand holding and from your experience I don’t know if I can get that from you or if there’s anyone you can point me to.

I understand to a large extent how these things work but I need guidance on how I can put forward a stronger application altogether.
