Hi everyone, this is to encourage those on waiting.
I did my interview on July25th (Abuja) and although I was given a congratulatory note, I was also placed on AP. On the 26th my status was updated to July25th and updated on the 29th.

2nd of August my Visa was issued and mailed to Lagos.

Guys keep hope Alive. Within this period, my sponsor was contacted as well as the bank. If your account is legit you will be contacted in due time.

Cheers

Was it the bank that contacted your sponsor or embassy

You can fill another one provided you still at least three days to your appointment date and then change it to the new one in your profile. This action will not affect your appointment date.

There are lots of them but I am sure you will not like to apply to school that won't fund you also, if you are not writing GRE for admission please write it because of visa interview. Some VO want to hear that you wrote standardized test.

Please do... Go to retrieve application, then follow the commands. When you get a new ds 160 code, you update it on the appointment page if you've scheduled your appointment already.

Let me also correct the general notion that the DS 160 form can only be submitted minimum of 3 days before your interview..

It is not stated anywhere on the official site.
You can update your DS 160 a day to and even on the day of your interview especially if the changes needed to be made is something that can make huge impact on your outcome.
