Apologies in advance for posting this on this thread, I'm exploring ways to find solutions pls

Hi everyone,

My parents' B1/B2 visa application was denied in August 2024 when the U.S. was still using the CGI portal. After their account migrated to the new AVITS portal, I've been unable to submit a new application for them to apply for B1/B2 for my upcoming graduation. Their portal currently shows a "pending appointment request" status, but clicking on this only results in an endless loading screen across multiple browsers.

Please note that - No MRV fee has been paid after their last application.

Has anyone encountered this problem and how can I fix this? I have raised multiple tickets on the AVITS portal and received no solution yet.

Thank you

Please I need your advice guys.

My husband started his Phd in the US last year and I tried to join him over there through F2 visa in November but was not approved at the embassy.

Can I switch to F1 and apply to schools?
How will the consular officer sense that changing from F2 to F1?

That depends on how beautiful you are. Most people were given at first attempt depending on how good looking. If you take care of your looks before ur next appointment, then it’s a given

Hello,
Pls, my visa application has been stuck on " preapproval request is being processed". Pls, is there anything I should do? Am I doung something wrong? Please help anyine
It has been approved, thank God
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by JMG12: 12:08pm On Feb 21, 2025
Since you already applied for an F2 visa and they are aware that your husband is in the U.S. on an F1 visa, applying for an F1 visa may be perceived as a potential intent to overstay. However, you can still consider reapplying for an F2 visa and ensure you prepare thoroughly for the interview by addressing the previous refusal reasons and strengthening your application with stronger ties to your home country.

If you still prefer to apply for an F1 visa, you’ll need to clearly demonstrate strong reasons for returning home after your studies, such as career prospects, family ties, or assets in your home country. However, given the perception risk, an F2 visa with better preparation could increase your chances.

All the best

I want to assume your passport will expire in 2025; if so, you should get a new passport.

Hello Everyone..

I paid the MRV on the ATVIS site via First bank EFT and confirmed the payment reference number. But I dont see any changes on the page. Still showing Pending appointment Request that leads to Bank Deposit Details.

For those that passed this stage, how many days do I have to wait here before I get concerned to send mail to the ATVIS Support?

After using the online payment method, it took around 24 hours for them to confirm. This happened this week.

Please what do you think is the proper way to do this?

1. Pick a date from the current ones available and use the emergency option when program start date or travel date is around 60 days

2. Keep being on the look out for dates, perhaps there might come a day that they would release dates closer to now and not the February 2026 that we have currently for Lagos.

The best is option 1 o. At least that’s what I did yesterday. Waiting for closer dates might be a problem o

Hello and good evening guys,

please I need some guidance on how to pay for the SEVIS fee.

I walked into a bank to pay via Western Union as indicated in my print-out but I was told Western Union payment no longer works in Nigeria.

How did you guys go about paying for your SEVIS fees? Responses would be appreciate

Thanks
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by Jayjayyy: 6:49pm On Feb 22, 2025
Also my School session starts September 2025 and I put Lagos as Visa Locatiion in both my DS-160 and also on AVITS.

Now time to book for interview and I see February 2026 as available appointment date.
s
I am guessing a lot students resuming September in Lagos are also experiencing the same thing.

What do I do about this?

I hear visa dates will cme out later but is that not risky to end up worsening the February 2026 to later in 2026

Thank you all.

You can use the Pay4Me App to pay for your SEVIS Fee.

You would pay them in naira, the $350 plus a service charge. The rate of conversion is usually displayed.

They would ask for your SEVIS payment coupon to be uploaded.

Change your appointment location to Abuja, I think dates from there starts from august now, then choose august since your resuming September, take your Lagos ds160 along with you to your appointment, during the first lineup wen they ask to bring out your ds160 for scanning, explain to them yours is for Lagos and they will changes immediately for you there, it only takes few minutes. The next option you have is to wait for Lagos which is in 2026 and you will have to defer your admission

I hear visa dates will cme out later but is that not risky to end up worsening the February 2026 to later in 2026

Thank you all.
