Just thought about capturing people still having issues with scheduling appointments after payment and dates and when resolved, just your initials and date payment was made.

AO - payment: 20th Sept: resolved: not yet

Take the letter to the submission office, it suffices and that's the format it carries.

Can you see the two accounts in the My Account section of your avits profile?
For me, yes, but for different individuals and only 1 of the two has an appointment. The 2nd one, that is having this issue has not been able to proceed to the appointment page.

Any attempt to redo the process always bring the duplicate error issue at later stages.

I have checked and checked everywhere, nothing has entered. I spoke with 4 different customer care agents today, they kept saying they have sent the link but I didn’t get any messages. My interview is Thursday, I haven’t printed my appointment confirmation as I’m unable to login. I just hope it gets sorted out by tomorrow.
Good morning , please confirm if this as been resolved thanks

Oh ok .Are you sure ?Because I have seen the format for IW letters on Avits on nairaland and it clearly states IW confirmation letter and not consulate appointment letter? Are you sure I can submit at Ois with that letter ?my previous us visa just expired October 31st ,so I guess Ois ppl can check that right ?

Please is there any solution to Duplicate application found for this user?
Duplicate user found seems to be connected to passport number and not name/Application ID .So try changing the last number of your passport number .Your correct passport number is on your Application confirmation so I think it should be fine .Anyone who tries this for both IW and interview should let us know how it goes .
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Cookiesandcream: 10:34am On Nov 06, 2024
Hi Jenifer, I also got the same thing. Were you able to book the follow up appointment? Because I am unable to that. The avits website won’t let me book a new appointment. It keeps saying duplicate. And how soon did you get a new date.




J3nifer:
I was refused and mine said “please schedule a follow up appointment under the 221g category which applies to your visa category and application type (regular or interview waiver) at the visa appointment website. Bring this form and your passport to be processed expeditiously.”

There’s also nothing in my mailbox. I’ve been checking everyday since I was refused. I did schedule an appointment for November though. I’m an adult. But the previous visa I did wasn’t in Nigeria so could that be the reason?

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to schedule a follow up appointment after form 221g on the new website? There's no option for that - only info for administrative processing under the FAQ.

Does anyone have a phone number for the Abuja embassy? Pls post. Thanks.
Hi, were you able to figure this out please, I need help

Tried changing a number on my passport number, I was able to move to the payment page, where I entered my Ammentum number. Got the message 'Bank payment details successfully updated'. But I could not move passed this stage since last 2 weeks.

Try clicking on deposit bank details and enter your anemtum number as your bank ref number ,then the date you paid .It should say bank details updated successfully when you do that and in a few hours you should have access to the appointment calendar.If that still doesn’t work chat or call customer support and send them your evidence of payment (ois first bank reciept ).


Also did you register with a previous email on avits then create this current one ?if that’s the case you will need to tell them to delete your previous account that is attached to another email address .You just need to keep calling and chatting with them persistently ! Trump don win elections so only God knows how easy or hard it will be for them to approve visas now .Best to get it done asap ! Before he starts giving executive orders.

I have done that severally since someone hinted that method here. But still unable to go beyond the acknowledgement of Bank details . I have raised ticket, unattended to. Will try chat again now.
I have used only one email with them.
Response from the chat is that I should continue to send tickets to support until it is resolved.

I have paid for the visa fee and I input the bank reference number in my Avits account bank deposit details section. It says the payment is updated but it doesn't take me past that page. How do I move forward to the appointment calendar?
Hi, its must likely a glitch. I experienced this in september.

You may need to open a ticket. Attach your First bank invoice and receipt of payment. By the time its been resolved, you'll be able to book an appointment.

All the best
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by AdisaMighty: 12:14pm On Nov 06, 2024

CNNalhaji:
I don't know what you have been discussing with @OyotunjiUSA but for the interest of others ; your travel passport is your personal property and the 2nd entity who is your next of kin on the property is the Nigeria government.

Therefore, if your visa is approved and you asked the visa officer to give back your passport for urgent use, of course the officer can place you on 221G and ask you to come back or courier your passport.

But according to my observation and information from the like of Oyotunji, if such visa applicant is a criminal or wanted and the embassy still want to do background checks on him or her , your passport will not be given to you. The consular will ask you to write a formal letter.
Hello Everyone,

I am back with an update.

First, I thank everyone who contributed to this conversation and shared their experiences. I went to the Embassy following the invitation I received to come in. It was a long and painful wait; it took 4 hours to get to my turn. My appointment was for 6:45am and I got interviewed at past 10am!

My passport was held up in the embassy and was handed over to me (window 10) upon the presentation of the invitation email and my national ID. I went to window 6 to capture my finger prints and then joined the interview waiting line.

Back story: Refer to my feedback on Feb 20, 2019 after my interview.

- This time:

Vo: Good morning
Me: Good morning! as I dropped and laid my documents on the counter
Vo: There was an incidence in 2018.... She mumbled a bit and didn't appear sure of the incident.
Me: It was in 2017 not 2018. It was an incident in Detroit at the point of entry and went on the state what happened like I had done before. Note: I narrated my story repeatedly in 2 previous interviews and had my application approved.
Vo: We have no evidence that you were allowed in at the time.
Me: I was let in, alongside my mum and my son. My stay was for 5 weeks, I left from MCO airport on Nov. 9th 2017.
Vo: Please confirm that date again
Me: My return date was Nov 9th, however there was a bomb scare in MCO on that day which caused significant delays, we eventually left on the 10th.
Vo: You realize that the officer at the point of entry was right and made the right judgement?
Me: I don't agree, my mum and I are independent adults, we do not have the same surname because I am married, she is a member of my extended family. We may have been travelling together but should be allowed her own cash allocation.
Vo: Looks at me sternly and says "You need to stop arguing"
Me: Okay
Vo: Typing....... shuts the window and says she will be back shortly.
Vo: Do you have the passport with the visa?
Me: No, its expired. I didn't realize it would be required. However, I am able to speak to all my previous visas and travel history.
Vo: I would need to see the visa.
Me: If you give me about 45mins, I can get it.
Vo: Fills a form and says we close at 12 today.
Me: I will be back before 12, don't worry!

No jokes, As I was leaving some people waiting were clapping, a few thumbs up and winks..... as per it was a gbas gbos! She had a microphone so everyone could hear us, I spoke loudly to match the energy.

I got back around 11:30am with the passport, the line was short and I explained to the security man that I needed to show the particular lady my old passport.

Vo: Scans the old passport, reviews and scrolls her mouse......and types

Me: Just looking and listening to others

Vo: Your application has been approved; your passport will be ready in 1 week.

Me: Okay, thank you

It was when I left that I remembered I planned to request expedited service smiley
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Tootfred: 1:56pm On Nov 06, 2024
Hello everyone, how long does it take from submission at OIS to receiving the passport back. Submitted Oct 28th, status showing as application receiving up until today. Please, for anyone who had gone through IW, how long did it take from submission to receiving your passport back. Thanks
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by J3nifer: 3:07pm On Nov 06, 2024
Hi!
I was able to book an appointment however the embassy eventually emailed me themselves to come in at a certain date and time. So I’m sure that might be the case for you. As for the duplicate user issue, I didn’t really have that so I don’t know how to help with that, I’m so sorry.
But I believe the embassy will reach out to you in the coming weeks. Cause that’s what happened to me

I have moved to a new place of work and now have a date for the same conference happening early next year.

Do I need to fill a new Ds-160 , if yes how can I navigate it and also do I need to pay again?

Kindly assist

Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by allentee1(m): 9:27pm On Nov 06, 2024
Hello everyone,

Your honest advice will be appreciated.

I applied to attend a conference in the USA, the organizer of the conference as sent me an invitation letter, I have little consign regarding how the letter is been written.

The first paragraph states thank you for your interest in attending so and so conference.

Is it advisable to continue with this application or just abort mission.
