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.. 👍
Its funny reading that People book PAID RESERVATIONS for visa purposes, when your passport is yet to get to you.

Even consulates would advice, Get your passport before booking anything!!

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 Does this mean this form is no longer valid?
Hello.
Any DS-160 application form that you are able to retrieved and edit for final submission is not old or expired. The lifetime duration of the ds-160 starts the day you submit it finally. The only thing to note is that you must submit it with a very recent passport photo.

Continue with the one shown but if it's given you headache you are free to go and start a new one afresh. You can abandon as many ds-160s as you want. The finally submitted one taken to the embassy is the only one that will count. 👍

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.

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

Hello.
Yes but it's a dicey situation*
If you have gotten a travel passport for the baby the principal applicant should go to his or her avits profile and click on " Create New " to initiate the baby's appointment letter. Prior to this, you must have completed a ds-160 form for the baby and then continue with the create new in order to generate 1st bank mrv payment slip for the new born. Once the payment is confirmed they will open his or her appointment calendar.

Note: The dicey situation is your ability to secure an August date at this eleventh hour and I don't think that your B2 qualifies for expedite appointment.

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

Thank you, i will try this and see, if they have to forfeit the date, then i guess that is what will happen

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

Book appointment and submit ds 160 for the baby as usual, like an individual then see what date you get. Even if you don't get the same date as yourself on the day of your interview you will carry your baby with you and mention it during your interview that you had a baby and couldn't add her, embassy will interview all three of you together.

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

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. 👍

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
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Teju2014: 5:07pm On Jun 10, 2025
Oh so sorry to hear. Have you received your passport and didn't receive any yellow slip for 221g?

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!

To the best of my knowledge, you’re a Nigerian and you hold a Nigerian passport. You can only apply for a US visa at the consulate in Nigeria. Only if you’re also a uk citizen then you can use your blue passport to get a us visa in the uk
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by VisaZest: 7:25pm On Jun 10, 2025
Hi,

Here's a response to your question. It's direct quote from the AVITS site. The visa fee is "Non-transferable to another application country - Once the visa application fee payment is completed in one country, you cannot use that payment to schedule an appointment in a different country. If you wish to reschedule your appointment in the same country, you may proceed without paying an additional fee within the rescheduling limits established by the U.S. Embassy or Consulate, as indicated in usvisaappt.com."

Here's the link to read more https://www.usvisaappt.com/visa/page?country=NG&apiPageName=visaFees&locale=en

All the best!

Hello.
I like your money management idea but unfortunately you will have to pay another visa fee and apply for a B1 visa as a 3rd country national from the UK. Also note that you will face UK visa appointment waiting time for TCN.

You cannot transfer non immigrant visa appointment from one country to another (ie Lagos to Accra or Abuja to Scotland) but you can only transfer Immigrant Visa Application Case with some very very convincing reasons.

** Go to your UK and come back for your interview. Home is the best to apply for U.S. visa. You should be qualify for Emergency Appointment Request under Business. 👍

Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by amazinghands: 3:21pm On Jun 11, 2025
Hello Everyone,

My mother was recently denied a visiting visa due to a lack of strong home ties. She is over 60 years old and has never traveled outside the country. I am currently a permanent resident and stated in the application that I would be sponsoring her trip. She is a businesswoman who runs a wholesale flour business. However, during her interview, she mentioned that they did not ask to see any of her supporting documents.

How can we better demonstrate her strong ties to home in her next application?
