I believe there's a glitch in their system because I was facing the same issues a few weeks ago when I was searching for an interview date and time for my wife, but I was able to pick a date a few days later.

How were you able to pick this please? I’ve been trying to change my parents interview dates from October to July but still nothing till now. It’s been over 3weeks and July dates are still showing in Lagos. Please help 🙏🏾

Hello,
I am posting this for those who it may help.

7th January 2025 - I paid US visa fee at FBN. Posted the Aventum Number and date of payment same day.
9th January 2025 - Payment reflected on AVITS website and I was able to proceed with booking appointment. Answered all the relevant questions. Eligible for IW. Booked IW appointment for end of February 2025. The earliest date available was 12th February 2025.
I proceeded to OIS Website to book Drop off for same end of February 2025. I paid N57, 400.
The process was seamless.

My question: What is the OIS Drop off payment for? Can the passport be dropped off and picked up by proxy?

Thank you.

is anyone waiting to pick up their passport in general or for H1b? I submitted mine Dec 20, I tracked on the caec site it says 'Application received' - Case Created Dec 23 last update was Dec 27 , anyone with a similar timeline? As of this morning it still reads Application received. My flight back is Jan 17, when i was submitting, it mentioned processing is 2-4 weeks

[quote author= Dazzlebee07 post=133363887]Update - December 19th
It has been frustrating experience trying to get dates using the rescheduled function on the AVITS portal for IW but I was not making any progress. I decided create a new appointment by inputting my dad's GTBank receipt from May 2023, however I received an error "receipt not found". I saw on the thread to send an email to Lagosniv@state.gov which I did on December 10th. I just received an email today requesting that he comes for an interview on December 30th, 2024. Hallelujah! step 1 is sorted.

My question now is that on his DS 160 confirmation letter, he was unable to upload his photo to reflect on it but it says "You must bring a 5cmx5cm passport photo to your interview". Has anyone ever been in this situation and hope it won't cause any issues at his interview?

Posted the below message November 14th

Hello All, please I need help and guidance on next steps.
My dad was unaware of the new visa platform. He went to drop off his document as today is the appointment date for drop off based on the old platform only to be told that the process had changed. He was given the new link to book an appointment on the AVITS portal. I have created an account for him on the AVITS portal but it looks like his profile was migrated and appointment was rescheduled and cancelled. I'm guessing because it was missed but no email was sent to him with the new information. Anyway, my question is do I just go ahead and reschedule or do I create new appointment. Does anyone know the difference between Consulate Appointment and OFC Appointment? Thank you for your answers in anticipation.[/quote]

Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Zainm: 4:19pm On Jan 09, 2025

I was given the blue paper in VI this morning, 6:30am appointment
Lol
I have a valid UK and Canada visa, I was refused.
The conversation went well and I was surprised, but God knows best.

I have a trip to London/Canada in February, I'll go Jeje and have a nice time.

Just felt it's necessary I update you people here.
I'll re-apply asap in shaa Allaah.

If you have any idea, please feel free to drop.

Thanks

Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Zainm: 10:20pm On Jan 10, 2025

It didn't allow me to proceed without payment. Is there a way i could have done it without payment?
I also started the answers with the regular IW question. The only question i saw differently was whether i had all my past visa and passports. I answered yes. It returned with a response of you are qualified for IW.

I can not remember seeing a question that asked for empty or waiver.

goldenmind:
After the payment on AVITs you don't need to pay on OIs anynore.

Please at your Annotation question... Which answer did you choose that qualify you for IW please? Is it empty or Waiver because I want to do it for my granny and am scared of losing her IW.. please what do you choose please?

Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Zainm: 10:21pm On Jan 10, 2025

Hello All,

Pls does anyone know of any way to get the consulate to respond?
My payment made via GTB and I've not been able to book an appointment on the new portal.
I've emailed the consulate with the V44 subject as they instructed multiple times but there has been no response. The AVITS portal does not allow me book an appointment.
