Hello Baba.
Sorry your uncle won't be able to retrieve his travel passport until after 8 weeks (normal processing time for IW) or any time the embassy clears the passport as done with and you won't be able to retrieve his passport during that time . ** They won't reply to your retrieval email . This applies only to IW.. 👍

BruceXavier:
Please I have an interview coming up in a few weeks, and I'm filling a new form because the old one i submitted needs to be updated. But this new one shows an expiration date. Does this mean this form is no longer valid?

Lekan2348:
Congratulations.
Are you saying it went from case last updated 11th of April to approved?

DScorp:
Yes, from Case Last Update 11th April to Case Last update 5th June. Approved. I have a friend that submitted april 15th and her Case Last updated was 4th June. However, yet to be approved.

NBako:
I applied the same day as you , same application received updated on the 19th

Hello, please i need help or guidance
My sister and family applied for B2 visa and have an interview date for August, and they had a baby in April, they are trying to add their newborn to the application, is there a way to do that?

Why not wait till you secure your visas and use the parents visa copies to apply for the baby ? 👍

Abbiemills:
I didn't know that was a thing, how do we this?

Good morning All,
Please I want to know if it’s only me experiencing this, but I am unable to select date on the Avits portal for Lagos, it just shows June 2025 and cannot proceed to other months, even other years not showing / selectable. How do I resolve pls

Efetobore1980:
Morning.
It's general for B1/B2 and there is no way to resolve it other than waiting or keep checking until they release Lagos dates. People applying for visas are much, staffs are busy so it's a waiting tactics.

** There is however April 2026 in Abuja which you can pick first if you have not gotten any date at all (and change back later) . You can use the last resort of expedite appointment request by first picking any date if you qualify. 👍

Lekan2348:
you've been quiet o, you should have received your visa by now

NBako:
Hello , I have just checked mine it says refused. I was hoping to get 212g but I’m not shocked at this,
Having had a baby in 2022.

Congratulations to all that were approved

Oh so sorry to hear. Have you received your passport and didn't receive any yellow slip for 221g?

Lekan2348:
Checked mine too today it says refused. It’s still the same as 221g. No fear. Dropbox cannot just be outright refused in almost all cases. They will either contact us for interview or documents or they will approve it straight away

Hello everyone, I have a question and would really appreciate your guidance.

I recently applied for a U.S. Business Visa to attend a fully sponsored conference I was invited to. However, I haven’t been able to secure an interview date yet.

At the same time, I’ll be traveling to the UK early next month for another program. I’m wondering — is it possible to transfer or use the same visa application (and fee) to schedule an interview at the U.S. Embassy in the UK instead, since I’ll be there during the intended travel period for the U.S. event?

Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

You should have gotten your visa by now no?

Zinny18:
There’s no Lagos appointment date on the AVITS website. Has anyone been able to get a Lagos appointment date recently?
