Same

@zinachidi, has your emergency appointment request been approved yet and are you for Lagos? Cause I just saw an early November date for Lagos which one can reschedule to. I am for abuja that’s why I didn’t select it, earlier dates are opening up little by little, January dates are also open for abuja rn.

it hasn't o. I saw the November date too and it still says slot already taken. I'm for Lagos

I am currently stuck after paying with card. It’s now asking me to pay $0

dest4real:
Who can answer this question please? If the card payment goes through successfully, will you still be at the pre-approval stage? Or should your card payment be successful, you'd be moved to appointment scheduling page immediate?

Tried another browser?

Yes, even another computer

I initially selected Abuja while filling out my DS 160 and before paying my MRV, but I can see interview dates available for both Lagos and Abuja. Can I choose a date in Lagos and attend the interview there instead? Will this cause any issues? Thanks.

deees:
I got approval within 3 hours. I included that I had paid my SEVIS fee in the information I gave, I don't know if it was what helped but I know coming across the fact that on the old platform, you had to pay SEVIS fee before an expedited appointment can be given. So I will advise anyone just paying for visa fee to pay SEVIS fee immediately too.

Please what's the duration between date of emergency application and your date of travel...I dint know why mine is still pending

Is anyone experiencing issues after card payment? paid and the page is stuck. asking me to pay $0 and buttons not working

i contacted the customer care asking this question and they told me i should fill out a new ds 160 if i want to go to lagos embassy, so to avoid confusion/wahala it’s best to just do abuja

Hi guys,

My pre-approval request for the Lagos embassy has just been approved after 5 weeks of delay. But when I tried to proceed to book a visa appointment, the only available options are dates for scheduling document drop-offs with OIS. I assume this is because I have an active visa and am simply seeking a renewal. I need someone's assistance navigating this process to secure an interview date, as I am opting for an in-person interview to attend with my dependent (F2), who has previously been denied twice.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Good day house, please do anyone knows universities offering scholarships for Masters in cyber security or digital forensics in the US, will highly appreciate any input.

Thank you.

Hello house, please I’m trying to start a new application and pay for another Mrv fee after been refused a visa, but it’s still showing ‘pending appointment request’ for two weeks now and I don’t see any option for creating a new application except the group one. Please should I create a new account on the website for this.

Please does anyone had an idea of organizations that gives loan for flight tickets?

Good afternoon Everyone

I got the migration link yesterday night to reset password which I did after I clicked on the link that came with the email.

Then, I tried to log in but I saw this, " *User is inactive* ". Tried it severally so i could login and it was the same.

Please can someone guide me through .

Thanks for your response.

I would like to know if I can opt for a physical interview instead of drop off. What I am trying to achieve is to be able to book physical interview appointment for both me and my spouse.

OmoOtuabagi:
You are qualified for drop-box go ahead and book the appointment and also visit ois to book appointment for drop box.

As per your F2, she or he has to book a separate appointment for physical interview. There must be an interview waiver qualification form sent to you by the US embassy too.

Check your email. You should receive an email after resetting your password. Then follow the link in the email.

I will go ahead and raise a ticket. Thanks a lot.

OmoOtuabagi:
If the embassy says you are qualified pls don't disqualify yourself. I understand the logic that you want to facilitate your wife's f2 visa by appearing besides her but you cannot even talk on her behalf if both of you are facing the visa officer.

Why don't you scale through your own visa hurdle before focusing on your family visa ? It will not end well if her (poor) performances eventually affects your renewal.

Focus on your own and address why she was denied twice. You should raise a ticket if you want to proceed with your physical plan.

@Demolaxzy, don’t listen to this advise. There’s no way her performance gonna impact your visa renewal outcome. If you’re a continuing F-1 student, there’s no way the embassy is gonna jeopardise your return back to ur studies —it doesn’t happen. In a worst case scenario, they’re gonna renew your visa and deny her again if the VO feels they can’t give her a visa. I understand why you’d want to appear with her — two of my friends who had their wife’s F-2 denied two times each, booked a flight back and attended with their F-2, they were given. But sometimes they can still deny your F-2 even when you appear appear with them.

Now, I’m definitely certain you can resort to a physical interview even when you’re qualified for a waiver…what I’m not sure yet is if you can go with your IW letter in place of appointment confirmation letter. You can confirm from the embassy. All in all, the embassy is going to attend to you whether u choose the IW or you decided to go for the physical interview.

Good morning house please I have already attended my interview but it keeps showing pending appointment request when I want to create a new appointment to pay my mrv fees. Please what should I do

Is anyone applying for Lagos seeing anything open before May 2025? Also, does anyone know if, with this new system, it is possible to see an earlier date and scheduling? Has that happened to anyone?

It looks like if you apply for an expedited appointment and it's rejected, it blocks you from even accessing/looking at any earlier months.

You finally got through the pre approval stage? How long did it take please. I’ve been waiting for two weeks now

Honestly? I paid again and chose Abuja, which was approved in 2 days. You can select lagos or abuja after you pass the pre approval stage. Did you try sending the emails that are mentioned in the links from the thread?

Lagos - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdMSMzJmoYVaxf-obif6_AaMIT4fbxpIvLEkPW84ISGSwSkIg/viewform

For disclosure, I did not need to use them to get pre-approved.
