Where are you posting the request? Are you using the create emergency request option or you are posting it as a ticket?

Timshin:
Click on total appointment. The first box on that page where you have 1 appointment. It will take you straight to view details. Click view details and you will see create emergency request. You can move from there. Check what I attached below for guidance.

Baller234:
On my Dashboard, under my My visa requests click on "View Details"..then you'll see " Create Emergency request.

Please note that you need to first book a regular appointment. Good luck!

Timshin:
Pick one date and expedite your appointment before everything goes off again. I picked December 2025 ooo.

tyor:
Appointments are open now.

Go and check the appointment website and book. Lagos is available but Abuja is not available yet. It might come online soon.

Hello Preetyslim,
Please have you been able to get a date and schedule an appointment?

Please help me understand what you did differently if you have.

@preetyslim, @Aramide, and @PotentialLake.

I am still reiterating that you should be able to pick a date in Abuja or Lagos as a prospective and new F1 visa applicant either for 2026 or 2027.

@preetyslim having answered most of your questions to the best of my knowledge still keep coming with same questions but you have never answered mine .

** Have you paid sevis fee ? Have you filled ds-160 form completely and submitted or you saved it for future editing? Have you signed and date your form I 20 in agreement to section 3 of the form ? Is this your first time or you were denied not long ago ?

These are what we need to consider because i usually discovered at the end of the day that there are lot of hiding mistakes from most visa applicants that they wont reveal to us openly.

** Nevertheless, all of you should follow this instruction as a last resort otherwise you will keep waiting or defer your admissions or give it to someone knowledgeable to cross check your applications.

There are 2026 dates in Abuja that i can guarantee. If your profile is complete and you have done everything accordingly you should be able to pick it. After picking it then you apply for an emergency appointment under student .

**
If you are finding it difficult to navigate the computer yourself and you have a friend or knows someone personally who wants to assist you with minimal fee then you can go ahead but they will eventually do what i have recommended on your behalf. No agent is going to sell another person's date for you that is not going to be possible. They can only find your own date for you.

I am not recommending it but if you are finding it difficult doing it yourself then approach someone you know personally. 👍

Hi Aramide.
Clicking on pending appointment is what will take you to a calendar where you will pick a date. Date is not meant to be displaying like an advertisement on your dashboard. Click on pending appointment.

You should also navigate between Lagos and Abuja so that you may be able to pick an appointment regardless of the year. Doing so will enable you to apply for expedite appointment automatically as an F1 visa applicant.

Note: I do hope you have paid your SEVIS fee, date-sign your I 20 , filled and have submitted your ds-160 completely and your MRV payment is confirmed ? By this, you are now a complete F1 visa applicant who is ready to go to school. If the pending appointment is not taking you anywhere then navigate my appointment option. 👍

Efetobore1980:
Mr Atanda.
@prettyslim you quoted needed a date at the U.S embassy , so how does vfs global associated with a U.S embassy appointment?

@prettyslim or any student looking for an appointment at the U.S embassy there is currently April, 2026. Such person should be wise and pick Abuja first then use the auto-qualified expedite request to seek for a
closer date b4 resumption.

@MrAtanda only DHL & OIS are working or associated with the U.S embassy in terms of delivery/pick up. 👍

Timshin:
I dont think this news is applicable to Nigerians for now. The information stated that only countries suspended or limited which started on the 9th of june. The pfficer clearly stated that in her message. Nigeria just joined those under review in a new review statement which was released yesterday. Not yet banned or suspended. So been under review doesnt affect your appointment bookings.

Integritycheck:
Hello guys, I am new here. Please, I am having an issue with this Avits calendar even before the new directive. The issue I’m experiencing is while trying to schedule my visa interview appointment. Although I have completed my payment and selected a delivery option,
The calendar interface on the scheduling page is unresponsive. I cannot click to navigate to upcoming months (e.g., June or July) to view available dates. The system seems to be returning an error indicating there are no available dates for my selected location( note i had to swtich from lagos to abuja and non of these location seem open at all) , but the main issue is that the calendar is not clickable at all, preventing me from checking future availability or proceeding with my scheduling. i have raised countless tickets, and it seems it is a bot that is replying to me. Is there anybody experiencing this issue, or experienced and how was it sorted? Thank you all

Efetobore1980:
Hello.
There are 2026 appointments in Abuja. If you don't mind. The natural thing for you to do is to pick Abuja first (any year) as an F1 visa applicant and keep manoeuvring for nearer dates with your 5x (times) rescheduling options.

If reschedule does not yield result you will then use your last joker (expedite appointment request) which i believe is going to be approved
to you.

** Another thing we should not overlook is the rules. You must have filled your ds-160 completely and submitted, have paid your SEVIS fee, as well as date-signing your I-20.. Every visa applicant is qualified but they use the rules to judge you as everyone cannot be given the visa.

If you want to keep waiting on Lagos without choosing any date (Abuja) first you may need to defer your admission. U.S. embassy is using wisdom in selecting Lagos applicants because the population of Lagos visa applicants is too much. 👍

Teledom1:
Is anyone able to secure new appointments dates or not . Or are appointments dates been suspended?!

Sex before marriage isn't good, how you con take know say he dey chop white rice without stew?.

The OP said it na. He has been kissing and romancing his gf without getting the main thing. That's what I meant when I said he has been eating white rice without stew . Abi do u enjoy eating white rice without stew?

wrongnumber:
Now I'm beginning to get reeaallyy scared.

For Petes sake did you read this article at all or its just the some Naija ladies are incapable of comprehending.

Who says go jnto marriage with the mindset that your hubby WILL cheat? The OP referee to a 50/50 situation but incase he does cheat.

Now I see why many ladies get the op wrong almost all the time and this is not about the OP but the inability of dome ladies to comprehend and the most unbelivable twist is that they will be quick to curse as if they are making sense and I wonder how this set of ladies go through life in the regular world.

Some naija babe's get serious issues.
