Hello Nairalanders, I need your help urgently. I am trying to renew my visa. I have filled and submitted my DS 106. What should be the next step to take?

I have created an account on AVITS and tried to create a form but the date of birth isn't working. What should I do?

Hello All,

Please, how do I track where my passport is? The OIS website is requesting a tracking number and I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Ozigu: 2:21pm On Mar 13, 2025
Please what's the email address to use to ask for your passport to be returned?
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by AdisaMighty: 3:35pm On Mar 13, 2025
To encourage anyone that is going through the "refused"/ 221g thing. I did my followup interview today and it was straightforward. They most likely have a few things to clarify. At least that was my experience. As long as you didn't overstay, commit a crime or give birth, you should be fine.

I give glory to Jesus.


AdisaMighty:
Has this happened to anyone after an IW? I have never over stayed, never committed a crime, Male so I did not have a baby or violate any rule I am aware of.

My mum’s visa was approved yesterday in Lagos, and it still feels surreal. This was her second attempt we applied for B2 visa category for her and unlike the first time, everything happened so quickly. We got to the embassy, and in less than 20 minutes, she was done.

Here’s how the conversation went:

VO: Good morning.
Mum: Good morning! How are you doing?
VO:Why are you traveling to the U.S.?
Mum: To visit my daughter, she just had a baby.
VO: How long do you plan to stay?
Mum: Two months.
VO: How did your daughter move to the U.S.? Mum: She got married and relocated.
VO: Are you married? If so, why isn’t your husband traveling with you?
Mum: Yes, I’m legally married. My husband and I agreed that I should be the one to go, while he stays back with one of our children in Nigeria until I return.
VO: Are you planning to get any medical treatment while in the U.S.?
Mum: No, not at all.
VO:How many children do you have?
Mum: Six, but sadly, one recently passed on.
VO: How many of them are in the U.S.?
Mum: Just one. The rest are here in Nigeria.
VO: What do you do for a living?
Mum: I’m a retired teacher.
VO: Who is funding your trip?
Mum: My daughter the one I’m visiting.
VO: What does she do?
*Mum: She’s a nurse.
VO: How long has she been in the U.S.?
Mum: 8yrs.
VO: Is this her first child? If not, why didn’t you travel to see her when she had the first one?
Mum: No, this is her second child. She had her first in 2022, but my visa was denied back then.

At this point, the officer started typing, then suddenly excused herself for a moment. When she returned, she asked again:

VO: Are you sure you’re not going to the U.S. for medical treatment?
Mum: I’m very sure.

Then, the officer smiled and said, “I’ll be approving your visa. I hope you have a wonderful time with your daughter.”

My mum smiled back and said, “Thank you so much.”

Thanks to Nairaland I gained a lot of information on this thread that was helpful
Did you apply for B2. or B1/B2 for Omugwo?
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by IOA97:
Hi, I've paid my visa fee and scaled the pre-approval request stage. However, when i was given access to the scheduling calendar. The calendar seems to be stuck on March 2025 with the navigation keys ( < > ) not functioning making it impossible for me to move to another month to see the available dates and pick one. I've raised several support tickets to no avail. I am getting really frustrated as this has been the case for about a month now. Has anyone else faced this ? And how were they able to overcome the hurdle? Looking forward to responses. Thank you.

Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Zainm: 8:00pm On Mar 13, 2025
Just apply for B1/B2.

Go to https://ceac.state.gov/

You see the DS 106 Form. Fill the information required including a passport photograph. State the exact reason for travel (omugwo).
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Donmatlock: 8:28pm On Mar 13, 2025
Please, after submitting my DS 106 Form, what should be the next step? I need help! Thanks
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by diabolo: 8:30pm On Mar 13, 2025

My application was placed under 221g but I was asked to submit my passport at OIS which I did on 3rd march, visa approved on 12th march and issued on 13th march. But I need to know know when it will be with OIS Abuja and or DHL Abuja.

Thank you for the response. I tracked it there and saw it was issued 2 days ago. How do I know if it has reached OIS?

Also, is there a different pickup location for Dropbox applicants and those that attended an interview?
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by dexydidi(f): 9:28pm On Mar 13, 2025
Hello All,

Please is it possible to still get a date for at most May in Abuja, I am seeing the dates are in October for Abuja.

Kindly assist?

What time is the best to pick dates ? I mean time of the day?

Please I need a response. my question was not answered before
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Zainm: 9:48pm On Mar 13, 2025
You should get an email from OIS. I got an email 2 days after issue. You will have the option to pick up from OIS or DHL. DHL is free. OIS is not.

Something that people have tried to reset things is to purposefully enter the wrong password three or four times, it will lock your account, you can then click forgot password, it should send you an email to reset the password and you should be able to login afterwards. Let me know if it works.
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by naivasha: 10:43pm On Mar 13, 2025
Please give us details on how you scheduled the interview. I remember that you were wondering what to do after you got the initial refusal, and now you have thankfully been given the visa. So did they reach out to you? Or were you able to book an appointment yourself? Please clarify. Thanks.

I turned it into prayer and fasting and After 2 weeks they called me and asked me to show up with an id card (My passport was still with them). They scheduled it themselves.

Good day all.

Please I am stuck at trying to book appointment date, each time I check I get a prompt of this error message that say “Currently there is no appointments available for the selected location”

I need to know if I’m doing something wrong or its a normal occurrence as I can see some are seeing dates on their profile.

I really appreciate a response please.

Thank you in advance.

Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by kaycodes: 11:44am On Mar 14, 2025
Hey folks,

My passport is ready for pickup, but I don’t live in any of the cities. Is it a must I have to pick it up or are there options for them to send it to my home address via DHL?

I don’t see any options when I try to book an appointment either premium or DHL/OIS locations

Any advice is welcome. I need the passport urgently as I need to apply for another visa to a different destination shortly.
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by AdisaMighty: 1:19pm On Mar 14, 2025

YES, YOU CAN OPT FOR DHL DELIVERY AND PAY 50K PLUS...BUT THE DHL OPTION IS ONLY FOR SELECT CITIES IN NIGERIA...AS LISTED ON THE OIS WEBSITE..IT APPEARS U R NOT IN ANY OF THOSE select cities..your next best option is then authorizing someone to pick up free for you in the city of interview/iw and then use personal dhl or other means to route it to your place.......or select dhl pickup in the nearest city to you...and then go there /send someone to pick up
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by AmKen(m): 2:24pm On Mar 14, 2025
Please what should I do In this situation.

I am yet to receive ab email to migrate to avits till now.

My interview date is fast approaching.

I have made several attempts to get support to help me all to no avail.

Sent several emails no response.

If I Try to use my email and password from the old portal to log into avits, it obviously says my record is not there.

Right now I don't know what else to do in this situation.

And by next month my payment receipt should be up to 1 year
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by AdisaMighty: 3:02pm On Mar 14, 2025
