Please for those who had their interview in Abuja, how did you go for your medical health assessment, how much did it cost, how long did it take and how many day prior to the interview did you go?

Please, what’s wrong with the passport pickup services? I had my interview in Abuja last week Tuesday and I picked Lagos as my pickup center. I booked appointment on OIS, on getting to their office in Lagos, they say my Passport isn’t with them. And the ceac website say “issued” what’s wrong? I’ve not gotten any email or message from the embassy to pick up my passport tho. Usually it doesn’t take this long, but has things change? Can anyone enlighten us?
Please did you do any medical examination before your visa was granted or is it not required?
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by JohnZak: 4:10pm On Oct 22, 2024
You do not need to submit a medical assessment to the embassy for a student visa.

Medicals are required for folks applying for an immigrant visa but not for those applying for non-immigrant visas like F-1 visas.

Hi, please is it possible for someone to have his or her F1 visa interview on Thursday and the passport is ready for collection by Monday, also the caec is not even showing any visa status but Theo is said the passport is ready for collection… do you think one should worry about how soon the passport is ready

Hello .
I go an admission in Century College but I have HND in Biochem/Microbiology. I have filled out the DS160, just generated my mrv code to go pay to the bank.
Please base on my qualification, what is your advise on admission?
Secondly, after paying in first bank, what's the next step?.
Help a brother.
Why a two year college when you have an equivalent of a Bachelors? Why not consider another Bachelors in the least (not truly advisable) if not a masters?

No you shouldn't. That is about the usual turn around time.

Hello everyone. Please I am trying to help my brother with his interview appointment on AVITS website. Once I moved to the next step, I figured that I made a mistake so I canceled the form and I filled a new form. However, when I wanted to go to the next step, I was getting the error message that "Duplicate Applicant found for this user". I have raised support tickets, called AVITS support team, filled a new DS-160, tried to use another email address to open a new account but I keep getting the same error message each time. Has anyone else been in this situation? Please what do you advise? I will really appreciate your help. Thanks

Hello boss, Please I need your advice on this situation:

My profile was moved from the old platform to the new one for a November interview date. But I recently renewed my passport and have a new passport number. I also filled another DS160 form, but I can't update the new passport number and DS-160 number on this new platform. Please how would you advice I solve this with all the new system that's going on. You said the "DS-160 he gives them." Please what do you mean by that? Thanks.
You’ll have to take both passport to the interview. It’s very important that you do that. This is a very normal thing amd it happen all the time. There’s no way to update DS-160 in the new avit. Take the last submitted DS-160 to the interview

No o. If you’re applying for a student visa, it’s a non immigrant visa. But if you’re petitioning for an immigrant visa, then a Medical need to be submitted

AVIT cant help . They have no idea of what’s happening. This is what u do ; In the new profile, change the last digit of your passport number and proceed. It’ll allow you to proceed and book an appointment. Your appointment slip will come out with this new passport number (the one with the last digit changed), don’t fret, it’s okay, however, your DS-160 will bear the right Passport number, that’s what they’ll use to pull out ur details. Your appointment slip has no usefulness pass the AVIT security members who’ll check the slip and compare it with what they have on their system to be sure you have an appointment that day. After the security procedure, what matter is your DS-160 page , passport and i20 ( passport and i20 are the two documents the VO will collect from u)

If you don’t do this, you’ll keep getting “duplicate applicants……” even if you use 100 emails

Good day,
I am new here, I am trying to fill out an F1 visa appointment application for myself and my wife because she will be coming with me as an F2. I would like to know if I will be scheduling separately or does my application cover for her as well. If we are applying separately, how can we get the same appointments dates. Thank you

Good afternoon

Please after paying for visa application fee in the bank, I logged into my account and clicked on pending appointment request and it took me to a page where I was asked to upload my I-20 and state the date of my travel which I did. Then I was told that my preapproval request is been processed.

How long does the request take before I can proceed?

Thanks

There is no definite answer to this, just keep checking until it's approved and pray. All things being equal it shouldn't take more than 4 days but if it does, please raise a ticket.

A part of me will advise you open a new profile and start all over again. AVITS is a very incompetent organisation. So their incompetence will be an endless delay to you.

You fill a separate DS-160. Proceed to book an appointment separately as this is the new rule and find dates on the same day and go together.

Hello, I’m a J1 visa applicant (Aupair cultural exchange program)who paid for MRV fee on Friday 18th October, for Lagos. I’ve been stuck in the Pre approval processing stage. What do you suggest I do?
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by VincentTobe: 7:43am On Oct 24, 2024
Good evening people of GOD, this is the AVITS portal of a recently denied applicant. The page is saying "Choose a Post" and the applicant doesn't know what post is referring to.

PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP

Take any available date, then apply for expedited appointment. Make sure you have paid your SEVIS fee. Write the date of resumption on the information part of the request, the course and the school. Write your SEVIS number and the fact that you have paid the SEVIS fee, then make sure you upload your i20 document. You will get dates in November. It's possible you get October dates too.
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by JohnZak: 8:46am On Oct 24, 2024
“Post” simply refers to the location of the embassy or consulate that the applicant intends to apply. Nigeria has two posts - Lagos or Abuja.

If a US visa is issued, the sticker will always includes the name of the issuing post name. If issued in Nigeria, the issuing post name will be Lagos or Abuja.

Hi. I am applying for a J1 VISA and already gotten to the stage of preapproval being processed (picked Lagos) but I have been seing issues with Lagos approvals. Since I have not submitted my DS-160, is it advisable to wait for me to wait and see what happens first so I can easily change to Abuja and pick that location if I have the chance next time?
Co-ask?
