Thank you so much i looked and found a direct flight, though not to the city i want but i can take a local flight from there

USA does not have a provision for airside transit (even for 30 minutes ) in which you (a passenger ) can remain in the secure area of the airport without going through the immigration. The summary is that : if your nationality requires a visa to enter the US, you will need a transit visa (C-1) or ESTA.

I would rather you booked a direct flight or the one that will not stop over in the US. 👍

Someone should please answer me

Let’s all be careful
I asked a simple question here and someone dmed me telling me he has solution to something I never requested for his help for. He went further to attach a cost in helping to fast track a passport maybe thinking he’s dealing with a novice.

Pls Efetobore1980 will never contact anyone that I have a solution . Although many people write to me privately and I regard majority of them as travel agents. But I will never and have never initiate a conversation or communication with anyone that I want to help. If there is such person he or she should come out. @Deziri20 that Efetobere is an impersonator not me oo. THE ADMIN SHOULD REMOVE THE ACCOUNT. 👍
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Deziri20: 10:52pm On Aug 08, 2025
Definitely know he’s an impersonator maybe because you’re popular on this thread

The rule says " Every F1 visa applicant who do not have his or her desired interview date from the beginning must use the last resort aka emergency appointment 3- months before resumption.

Based on the review above, you did not follow the rule of Emergency Visa appointment application. Nevertheless, students can still secure expedited appointments regardless of the time you applied but , The U.S. embassy will use their rules and policy to ignore you when there are too many applicants to attend to.

Your last option now is to start raising a support ticket or keep gambling with reschedule options if you still have it. You may also try to re-apply for another ER. 👍

Hello, i need help. Hoping someone could assist me. I am planning a vacation with my husband from uk to mexico and we plan on using our valid uk visa as the website says its allowed.
We are trying to book flights now and we see that united airlines will layover in texas for 2 hrs nd go from there. Do we need a transit visa to do this? Does anyone have any info please?
You will need a transit visa or a tourist visa to pass through (transit) through any airport in the US.
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Shofat4real(m): 8:04pm On Aug 11, 2025

It depends on the type of visa appointment the person missed. However , such individual will likely get a new MRV if he or she is not given the option to reschedule with 24hrs.

Getting a new appointment that will be tailored to your activities in the US is based on your DS-160 information and the use of Emergency Visa Appointment Application. 👍

Hello.

I hope you have not bastardized your baby's application page. What are you going to do in Ghana AVITS for the sake of trial and error ? Those moves can corrupt your avits page on security ground.

Anyways, family application is a complex procedure at times , starting from ds -160 and mrv payment. You must also be applying for the same visa type with all of your family accompanying persons but with option of grace for 1 applicant with a different visa type. There are many questions to ask because I am certain you have done something wrong. Did you pay visa fee together? How many are you ? Have you gotten your date first ? Etc

Delete the current pending appointment for your baby and start all over. Let's see if you will scale through. 👍
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by wadijoo: 3:44pm On Aug 13, 2025
Try use a laptop to access Avits portal. I have come across the this as well. It always due to the network of the device using....

This page you are, you have not even reached the point of payment or have you already made visa fee payment.

Lagos & Abuja right now....

Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by America001: 9:00pm On Aug 14, 2025
I know this has probably been asked but I need to get it right hence I’m asking: What should I do? I recently got my passport renewed after I book for a visa interview, but the DS-160 form has my old passport number

Secondly, is it a problem if my DS-160 confirmation page has Abuja while I was able to secure an appointment in Lagos?

I made sure the DS-160 number/barcode matches the one on the appointment confirmation page.

Your new Travel Passport is the continuation of your old travel passport because your new travel passport will carry your old travel passport number for reference. Open your new travel passport, you will also see your old travel passport number inside.

Yes, it is a problem if your DS-160 states Abuja as your interview post while your visa appointment is indicating Lagos post as your interview location.

Making sure your DS-160 confirmation number tallies with the one reflecting in your visa appointment letter is not the only rule. Your ds-160 confirmation number may tally with your visa appointment letter while your ds-160 embassy post (eg Abuja) may differ to your appointment letter interview post (eg Lagos).

In summary, you must also make sure that The location you picked in your DS-160 is the location that reflects in your visa appointment letter. Ie DS-160 location A = Abuja .... Appointment Letter Location A = Abuja. This is what the embassy wants. If you fill another Abuja DS-160 in this scenario in order to add additional information, then that DS is now Abuja DS-160 B, so you must go to AVITS and update the new Abuja DS-160 B confirmation number in order to change the old one in your appointment letter. Your visa appointment letter will now be printed as Abuja Appointment Letter B after the update. 👍
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by mamateniola1: 10:20am On Aug 15, 2025
Thank you, we are applying for her only. we all have been issued visas before now.

i get your point on the trial and error. i made that attempt after days of not getting through to know whether it was a general issue. i will delete and see what happens.

Thank you. It’s better to fill a new DS-160.

Now @ Lagos appointment portal

Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Joshpet5674(m):
Hi everyone, I just got my H1B petition approved and I’m planning to travel to Nigeria for my H1B stamping. I’ve completed the DS-160 form and have my confirmation number.

When I went to usvisaappt.com to schedule my appointment, I couldn’t proceed because one of the tabs kept showing a “This is a required field” error. I’ve double-checked all fields, and everything seems fine. I even tried creating a new DS-160, but the same issue came up.

Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how were you able to resolve it?

(I know this is a thread for visit visa but I think this process it the same)
