Hello All,

My mum submitted her passport for IW November 21 and her application status was updated to "Refused" on Dec 23. I have checked the OIS website and her passport is still not ready for pick up. Is there a way to contact the embassy to release her passport on time? as she needs to submit it for her Canada Visa. I will appreciate any help I can get with this. Thanks

Hello. Did you get her passport back in the end? Was she refused or invited to an interview? My mom is in the same boat

Skywalker139:
Her application status is showing refused. We are yet to get her passport back from the embassy, no communication from the embassy.

Hello all, Happy New year
Please I need a suggestion or advice
I applied for b1/b2 tourist visa in 2022 and got appointment for Dec 10th 2024. I attended interview and it was successful but I've not received my passport back.
I've not gotten any email that it is ready for pick up but I went on the ois site to see if it was ready and it showed me its ready for pick up and I booked appointment for Thursday for pickup but this morning and went on visa status check and it's saying application received and opened etc😀 and nothing else.
I'm confused.
Should I just go to the scheduled appointment or I should wait to get an email, it's almost a month since my interview, I thought maybe because of the festivities

Did she mean siblings living in the USA? When she asked any siblings here ?

I have been writing this same mail without getting a reply. Please what could be wrong with the email address

Someone pls help. Where do I find the tracking number for my application. The one I need to track passport of the OIS website

Zeni06:
There is no tracking number. Just select the service you're interested in, ie USA visa, then passport pick up. You'll be asked to input your passport number and you can track your passport.

Wow... That issue is a very serious matter.... You will need to talk to the supporting desk to help you delete the existing profile so that you can create a fresh profile and finalise the stuff because if you keep on waiting till the profile is active.. it will take years to be done. It happened to me since Sept. 2024 and I was able to solve it around Dec. Not until I told them to help me delete the account. Although it was a profile for two applicants.

Thanks for the response! I will follow this pathway. It means I will be prepared to lose the information and data I had in the previous system!

I saw a response here to send a mail to Lagos NIV regarding GTB MRV receipt issues. I did that and weeks later I received an invite for interview at the Lagos consulate.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it because I was out of the country for work and it was just a day and half notice before the said date, the email also stated that the interview cannot be rescheduled.
I replied immediately and mentioned my reasons for not being able to make it. Is my MRV still valid at this point?
Is it possible for me to mail Abuja consulate with the hopes of getting a chance for a date from there? Or should I just pay another fee and start afresh.

Track on the OIS website
Someone already mentioned to use passport number.

Zeni06:
Take a screenshot of the visa tracking status update let me see what's showing. It either shows approved or issued for a successful application.
If it's showing "issued", and you passport is ready collection on the OIS portal, please go for your pick up appointment on Thursday at the OIS office.
