hello house,

how many days does it take to get back the passport after Visa approval.

can someone direct me to thw consulate coming through CMS


thanks

was it your application? If it was then you should know where you ticked for pickup, you don't pick up passports at the consulate, dhl handles all that now, the consulate is pretty close to cms, bonny camp is a better yardstick for description to the U.S consulate

I know bonny camp well


thanks

Takes between 2-3 days. I dnt stay in Lagos but the best description I can give is, from CMS, enter Lekki bus (e de pass law school road) tell the conductor to stop u at walter carrington. Its just there by the road then you walk up to the embassy. At the bus stop, anybody you ask will show u the direction though its pretty much straightfoward. Walk into walter carrington and you l see the mamoth crowd of America visa hopefuls.
What time of the day is your interview?

when you get to bonny camp turn back as if you are going back to cms the make the first right turn, it looks like a car park like this, or enter through walter carrington, beside a pink tall building before radisson blu, it take 3 working days on the average to pick up after approval if there are no issues

I learnt the crowd is usually serious on a working day ehn, my first interview was on a Saturday, so it was pretty free and no crowd but the v.o's took their time and arrived around 10.30am or thereabout.

Please i have been a silent follower of this thread and i will say i have gained a lot of things from questions asked here and your responses here..you are doing a great job.

I have a situation at hand.
i am billed to attend a global partnership summit in New York this July 2015 of an international NGO which i belong to and i want to apply for a visa for the summit but i want my wife to go along with me.she is not a member of the NGO and i just recently returned from a world congress meeting in Germany of this same NGO,i have good travel history of Europe-Germany,Holland,Turkey,Belgium and France (excluding UK),Dubai,South Africa,Ghana and my wife has been to Dubai and Ghana too.

what is the possibility of me and my spouse being issued visa as i am going for a business summit but wish to have her around for us to have extra days of vacation after the summit...what will be the best scenario..or do i forget about applying for both of us via the business summit and just apply for holiday while still using it to attend my business summit.Remember my aim of applying for visa is for the summit but wish to carry my wife along.

Please your urgent response is needed as i am about booking for interview date.
Thanks

IMO I think if both of you have travelled together, that u apply for vacation for both of you. The story no get comma or k leg. My ist application, I said I wanted to accompany my mom for a conference. They bounced me.
Its always better when the reason for travel is clearcut. Btw , your travel history is tight.
My 2 cents. Somebody else , please add your opinion

I think that in my own opinion to add to what LadyGuinivere has written, American embassy is unpredictable and pretty funny, so you go first and get the visa and let her go after you with a copy of your visa, it doesn't necessarily has to be for conference, she can apply for vacation or something.

Not possible.

I don't see any issues. You are going for a conference, you wife is going with you but on vacation. No problem with that. Have faith and go ahead.

The inviting NGO will assist you on this. Usually, there is a separate form issued for accompanying spouse by every reputable organisation. This will cover for your spouse if available.

And hope she works and earn income?

Chloe7...thanks for that too...someone suggested same thing you just said now..that i should got for mine using the business summit and when i get it she should then proceed specifying vacation while presenting copy of my visa...but when she is filling the form when asked is there any accompany partner what will be her response...because i think your idea looks possible.
