From what I have learnt here ...

You might need to fill another form or take a passport photo to the interview.

If u choose to fill another form ensure the form code match the one on d appointment slip so u don't get turned back (I can't explain how u will do that but the gurus will throw more light )

I will be kind enough to point out that the info is incomplete. He can use the search button and get the complete info

"Many applicants are still failing to upload their visa photos as part of the application process, creating delays and bottlenecks in Consulate processing on the day of interview. Effective immediately, visa applicants who do not upload their photos when submitting their visa application will be turned away and advised to complete their application by uploading a proper photo.

This will usually require the rescheduling of their appointment. The process for uploading photos is easy and is thoroughly explained in our on-line application. Avoid disappointment and delay—upload your photo as part of your visa application!"-Lagos.NIV

Mr 'know it all'...... well said then. Everybody is not just gonna be like you. Teachers know why they make new notes for every new intake .Just keep your answers but try not to stop those who wish to help. The little thing you think you know is seriously getting on you. Thank God you are not an object here, we are even (subjects)............ smiles

Mr “know nothing”... well said. Everybody isn’t going to be like you (thank God!). Teachers also have expectations that their students take the initiative to learn on their own.

Lol even worse, the one person who gave you “advice” had no clue either. Try going to the embassy with a copy of your passport photo. Come back here and narrate your sad experience. This isn’t Nigeria, where rules don’t matter.

TWoods:
lol the sheer impudence... the time taken to type your "questions" would have been enough to search google and find your answers there. I can only blame folks here who indulge many of you here time and time and time again...

Na me f...k up.

This is posted on the US consulate website for Lagos. I saw it yesterday while perusing for fun. The fact that there are people applying for US visas who have never read the application requirements is baffling. The same people come here mewling about “help” and acting all huffy when you tell them to go learn on their own. Shame

While these threads have been immensely helpful in sharing experiences (this being the operative word), it should never be viewed as a shortcut to reading the actual rules and requirements posted by the US government, for yourself!

Well, between 3-10 days.... I doubt if your application has even been opened sef. It ought to have arrived Abuja Wednesday, and be opened between yesterday and the next 2-3 work days all things being equal. Check your application status out first sha on https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/status.aspx

You are an active reader of this thread
You have not seen the issue of passport upload

Both cannot be true. One has to be false. Well if you haven't seen it, then call the embassy. You will be appropriately guided.

@Bisolanio, this is an example of what I was referring to. Someone wants to travel all the way to the US. If one does not learn how to research then how can one get the visa or make right choices if given...

I tire ooo

10 days upward some might be 5 working days but wait for at least 10 days.

Good afternoon everyone, thank you for keeping this wonderful thread alive.

I have a question for the guru’s:

I actually made travel Plans for September on my d160 and booked hotel for it, and have submitted the d160. While booking the appointment there was no sep so I choose October. I have renewed the date at my hotel and got car confirmation. The problem now is how do I reactify it on my already submitted d160.

Kindly advise on way forward.
Gracias!

Is this for Lagos?

Fill another form and use the new DS160 number to update your profile and then print a new appointment confirmation....

Hi guys, please I would your help here.
My friend applied for UK visa and he just got denied because he didn’t explain 500k lodged into his account in the previous month in the cover letter. He’s Medical doctor and his statement reflects his salary but he got this particular from his sister to help bring his balance up but forgot to give tangible explanation of wheret he money came from.

Now he wants to re-apply asap using priority means because he’s got an exam to write here in the UK at the end of the month. Please how can he explain the source of he 500k in his over letter. Please could you help suggest any tangible reason for the source?

Thank you

64k? Anyways, you won't loss the money, there normally will be second chance, unless you have rescheduled before. Hope I added a bit to your knowledge now? But then, everything is here on this thread, I repeat.

Finally, let me share my story.

First, if you are planning on running away from Nigeria using nonimmigrant visa, this post won't be of help to you. God doesn't help liars.

So, my journey began some days ago. I was selected to attend a prestigious programme. One that students from Harvard, Stanford, MIT and co attend. I filled my DS160 form then went to USTRAVELDOCs to try to book an appointment.

Unfortunately, the first available date was on May 16th. I nearly cried as the programme was before then. I went ahead to book my appointment for May 16th, then with the help of the organization I got my emergency appointment request approved. So I selected today as the new date.

Countdown to my appointment, I was tensed. As you can see from my previous posts, I was scared because people that have good ties to Nigeria were being rejected.

A little info about me:

1. I am in my very early twenties.
2. I am an unschooler (I didn't attend university, but my education didn't stop when I left school. I focus on self-learning). I have written for top international news sites.
3. I have good cash flow. I make above the regular amount that people my age make.
4. I am not married and don't have kids
5. I own no property
6. I have only traveled to Benin Republic
7. Basically, I don't have the "usual ties"

Well, fast forward to today. My interview was smooth, lasted about 3 minutes.

VO: Good morning sir
Me: Good morning
VO: Passport, please
Me: (Passed passport)
VO: Why are you going to the states
Me: (Before I started talking, I passed him some original documents reiterating what am about to say) I am going for ... conference. It was started by ... (popular) person. I was selected out of over 10,000...
VO: Tell me about the founder
Me: He is ... (I know the founder very well. He is someone I look up to, so I nailed this questions)
VO: Tell me about ... (where I work)
Me: Its a company focused on. I am ... there and I do ...

(A couple of other questions I can't remember)

VO: Are you married
Me: No, I am not
VO: Do you have kids
Me: No nah, I am just 2*
VO: I will be approving your visa .... I hope you win ...
Me: Thank you so much (I no hear again o). I went outside to practice shaku shaku.

I carried my life documents, but most wasn't checked. When I got to the window, I just composed myself. There was nothing to fear and I just looked at the officer in his white eye while talking. I had nothing to hide. I have already booked my flight (with the return leg). If I want to migrate to America, I will follow the right path, not apia way.

NOTE: THE VISA OFFICER DOESN'T HATE ANYBODY. THERE IS NO SPECIAL WINDOW, FOR THOSE ASKING. IF YOU CAN'T CONVINCE YOURSELF WHY YOU WILL COME BACK TO NIGERIA, THEN YOU WILL HAVE A HARD TIME.

People should stop spoiling Nigeria name too. Don't make it hard for genuine people to do what they want to do and come back.

I wish every genuine person luck.

Are you a writer? Blogging seems to be a big money spinner

#smiles, I get it.
@concho haven't you learnt one or two things? Fill a new form. Read up and if you still don't get it, I'm sure the gurus will help knowing that you have done something on your own.

Bisolanio:
You have all the clues in the world yet it can't cure the diseases you have, you are sick!
Avoid me.

If you didn't constantly quote me perhaps I would.

It's a faceless forum, you need to take a chill pill. You gave out clearly false information, you obviously have little knowledge of immigration rules, yet you feel you too must throw out advice... because you happened to obtain a non-immigrant visa once. Then you act like a 2-year old when you're called out on it.

Abeg TW and Bisolanio it aff do. Intact, it haff done sef.

Please @LadyGuinivere. The question I am going to ask you may have probably been discussed in the thread pages but where I wan see energy tey go through. Is B2 visa appropriate for a mother visit to her daughter and grandchild? When do I chose B1/B2 category?

Secondly, from your recent experience, after a visitor visa refusal, does it take up to 60 days or more to get an interview booking? I found out choosing previous denial just take off all the available dates for first time application

If you've been previously denied you have to wait out the waiting period if not you will be denied again. So the question is when were you denied?

I want to cancel my appointment and I dnt kno if I still have life line. Pls where am I going to see it?
