Including the old passport won't work because when you do dropbox it must not come with any other additional document unless they requested for additional document (e.g old passport with visa) so apply for your dropbox and luckily you will fill the ds160 with the necessary visa number and code... that should give them a clue of what is going on.

In addition, the new passport data page carries the old passport Number . They can check ur visa history in d system.

Good afternoon all, a quick one here please. I seem to have forgotten the way round this (scratches head). I intend applying for a renewal of my B1/B2 Visa soon. I have all my previous US visas in my expired Nigeria passport (and I have not misplaced it too).

My travels to the US and other places this past one year plus were done on a new passport (combined with the old because of the visas in it). As a result of this new passport not carrying a US Visa (CBP stamps are on it though), expired or unexpired, FOR CLARIFICATION PURPOSE, should I then just schedule an appointment and go the one-on-one interview route or am I rather qualified for the Dropbox still as I have always done before (if yes, do I send in both passports or what)? Thanks....

LadyG, Seye, Nerf, Tzetzefly, Constance, 9jaStar, Kaptain, wey una? Make una chook mouth put for me....

Please, you should include your old passport with visa. my mum renewed her own last year via drop box. both old passport with visa and the new blank passport were submitted.

I want to visit the US for vacation during Christmas with my family, wife and three children (ages one to eight). I currently have a valid B1/B2 visa but none of my family members have a visa on their passports.
Can I go with them for the interview.

No, you cannot enter with them for the interview.

Your wife will appear with your valid U.S. visa copy on your international passport and attend the interview with your kids stating the reasons they should be issued with entry visas. Nothing to worry about, it should be fine once they qualify for visas.

Best of luck!

Maybe they want you to take a second wife lols just joking but truth is even if you have all the ties to your home country, VOs can be unpredictable

Since the Yoruba Culture congress would be in the past, you will not be going for it. That is one change. If your next visa application will be for vacation, you can keep in mind that there are over 100 other countries you can visit for vacation (taking your family along for a vacation <in other countries> could also be a good experience + change).

wow we are in page 419. all is well. just beware of 64000 naira. thank you...

If your visa is still valid or has expired in less than 12 months,surely you're qualify for dropbox or you may be select to do an interview which is randomly anyway.

Wow! Thanks all for your responses, I appreciate.

Saw this just this evening too via google search @ http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ng/ng-niv-visarenewinfo.html :

"Supporting Documentation
Bring the following documents to the Embassy/Consulate General on the day of your appointment:
A current, valid passport
Any passports containing previously-issued U.S. visas
As applicable, Form I-797 (H and L work visas), Form I-20 (F and M student visas), Form DS-2019 (J exchange visitor visa)".

@AbujaNIV affirmed same as most of you already advised. Big ups y'all!

Lagos doesn't allow, Abuja's does some times....

Yes,you can because my brother did same a while ago and it's positive.

Hello ,please anyone travelling this month or early next month to the US ,should kindly help me send books to my sister ,I don't mind paying for the luggage. Thank you.

kokoboy4life:

I understand you but I want you to know that the Trip will be sponsored by Osun State Government and King of Ife his also aware of the program and you people have mentioned countless time on here that if some don't have travel history That doesn't take effect on VO when making his/her decision.

and a US VO should care about the King of Ife because?

stargirlprod:
please how can one get married to a black American without him coming over to Nigeria.... I have never left the shores of Nigeria either... and my uncle that linked us is not helping matters

You will run into problems convincing the consulate that you are really married. If he's marrying you, he should do the needful, come to Nigeria and marry you. Call me old school, but i don't believe a woman should be the one worrying about how a marriage is going to take place.

This sounds more like a scam to me. Why should your uncle be "helping matters"? Is he the one getting married? Thankfully America is getting wiser to these sort of scams. Good luck with your "marriage".

TWoods:

Because he is an international king and the king has US visa too.

In fact Uncle Trump knows him by name, so diafor the VOs must know him.

Once you can get to obalende, take keke to Adeola Odeku, stop at Ecobank on Ahmadu Bello. The embassy car park is right there , so you cross the road and enter the embassy thru d car park.

If u leave home at 4am, you can get there by 6am

Good Day Twood, firstly you should understand that King of Ife is number one king in South West of the Country and he's specially invited for Canada independence celebration coming up next month for me I believe getting a US Visa is a luck not the applicant performance during the interview I will reapply but not soon because I have to build my travel History.

Thanks for the response

You should be able to defend your response incase you are asked to prove with a document. Don't let what you can provide limit your chances..

what's Pax? I know people use pax for passenger.

People who want to travel to the US but can't spend 10 minutes checking through the forum to find out, if their questions have already been answered. If you do your research, you will do well in the interview because you will be more confident and know what you are saying. Don't be lazy.

Those blaady ties eh. All the best next time.
