Thank you.

I've worked on the cover letter to reduce the amount of irrelevant information using your sample as a guide. I'll attach two screenshots. The version 1 is the previous version and the version 2 is the latest one.

I really want to highlight the strong ties to home country (the text after my list of attached documents) because I'm a young single male traveller. The reason for this is based on what I've read online, visa issuing officers are always looking for the slightest chance to deny the application of applicants with my profile (young, single, male) so one has to provide enough proof that yes, I'll return home after my trip in order to further convince them.

But, I'm still looking forward to your opinion on that as well.

Thanks once again!

Hello everybody in the house

Please I have a question to ask

if I booked hotel reservation of 195euro for 7days in Paris for my visa application in other to curt my clothes according to my size I hope it will not cause visa denied? Simply because the accommodate fees is too small, as anybody booked this type of cheap hotel before and was granted visa

Jomacokwu:
Good day house, please I'm having issues with receiving otp. Please can someone assist me

Problem is those VO can mess with your head and start thinking what went wrong .

My transcript ...

Me : Good afternoon Sir, how are you today ?

VO : Good morning, Im fine .. Can I see your passport please ?

Me : Here it is

Vo: Why are you going to the US ?

Me : I'm going for Bleep summit ... He didnt' hear well so I explained a bit further.

Vo : What do you do here ?

Me : I'm a student here at xyz Uni , studying xyz and I'm also the CEO of xyz company.

Vo: How long have you been with the school.

Me : I've been with the school for 1 year.

VO: WHo is sponsporing your trip .

Me : I am personally funding the trip .. But I also have some financial support from the company

VO : Have you ever traveled to other countries ?

Me : Yes, I was vacationing in December in France, Belgium and Netherlands . And I've been to Dubai a few times.

VO : He checked my passport which was just renewed , then he asked for my visa... I gave him a copy of my Schengen Visa issued by France.

VO; With how they say there thing when you are denied... So he handed me this their generic denial white paper with no details of why you were denied.

So, I thought about it and I think I made a mistake with the response to how long I've been with the school. I resumed Sept 2023 and I stated that on my DS-160 . What do you guys think I got wrong?

46neeta:
Thank you so much. Please if you know anyone who can guide me with the card payment as I need ASAP. I can transfer the money to another card and also cancel all pending requests. Thank you

Roon9:
I actually paid 50k. I don't know if I made a mistake but someone said the pickup available is only Abj and Lagos for now. It's all so confusing right now but I guess I'll just go to abj by Monday

Angellabelle:
Hi everyone, I don't know if this is the right platform to drop this but I need some advise on Visa renewal. My US Visa expires in may and I am currently in the US, is it possible to do a drop box in Nigeria to renew my visa since it hasn't expired yet?. Pls advise.

Roon9:
I was meant to pick Benin for my son n myself. Now my appointment states maitama, Abj. Today was supposed to be pick up but I couldn't make it. How do I contact the OIS people sir

kaycodes:
Hey folks,

My passport is ready for pickup, but I don’t live in any of the cities. Is it a must I have to pick it up or are there options for them to send it to my home address via DHL?

I don’t see any options when I try to book an appointment either premium or DHL/OIS locations

Any advice is welcome. I need the passport urgently as I need to apply for another visa to a different destination shortly.

BruceXavier:
Please I need guidance on what to do. Can anyone with credible info assist?

LadyIE:
Hello, I’m trying to schedule an appointment using the AVITS portal. I already made payment after which I clicked on Pending appointment and entered the required information and clicked submit. When I click on the submit button, nothing happens. Can someone please guide me on what to do after making an online payment. How do I start with the search if an appointment date.

Thank you

seunpinky:
Please how do I navigate the payment portal on AVITS website, I have tried making payments using my Canadian credit and debit cards all to no avail. I also do not see the option to pay in the bank (saw on this platform that payment can be made in first bank). Is there a special way to make online payments or do I need to use Nigerian cards?
@VisaZest and everyone

solihp:
Thank you. I tracked his application status using his DS160 number and passport information on the ceac status website, when it was issued, I constantly checked the oisservice website to see if his passport was ready, when it was ready, I set up an appointment for pickup, they didn’t send him any email notification.

Imustreturn:
Guys please, when can one reapply after refusal?

Zainm:
I paid at the counter of the bank i did not see the annotation they're talking about.
It was just the regular questions until it took me to the IW page.

Meanwhile, can someone tell me the procedure at OIS. I will drop off my documents on the 26th of February, 2025.

Cashmadam:
Raise a ticket on AVITS. Then chat with them to follow up.

They are extremely slow and frustrating so you need to be on their case daily till it's sorted.

Good luck!

Good afternoon,
happy new year. please, i have a question on behalf of my cousin. she tried logging into her nairaland but she couldn't. here is the post we composed ..... please help us

Pls, I need a review of my situation and guidance.
1. I am single, 40
2. I am applying for a masters degree.
3. I have been denied US tourist Visa in 2016, 2018, and 2023.
4. My Dad filled for me sometimes ago but petition wasn't approved. He told me this during a conversation before he passed in April 2024. But I have been saying No in all my applications. {this is the truth pls. i dont know why it was never mentioned but i remember that he said he was going to get a lawyer}
5. I currently work and earn 500k after deductions.
6. all tuition fee and living expenses is about xxxxxxk $. this will be paid from my Dad's benefit. his younger brother in the US will receive the money on my behalf but we see no reason why it should be converted and sent to Nigeria since my school fees will be paid in dollar. but we are worried about presenting this fund to the embassy. uncle called the school to explain. they said since the money is not in my name, it cant be personal fund. But i have a certain share that is enough for my programme and uncle is ready to let go his share, if any

pls, what do you advise?

PLS, i need advise ..

Good day Everyone,
I should have given this update since last week but I have been overwhelmed with stuff.
For those who paid using GTBank on the old portal, please just be patient as I am pretty certain you'll be attended to.
Don't bother raising a ticket on the AVITS portal as its a waste of time and chances are that your issue won't be resolved as their website has not been configured to accept GTBank receipts. Since this can only be done manually, please send a mail to LagosNIV@state.gov. I've attached a sample of mine and blurred my details. I also copied nigeria@usvisaappt.com
Once you've done that, please wait for a response. Sending the mail multiple times only delays your response time....a reliable source confirmed this.
I sent a mail on the 27th of November attaching my details, and I received a response on the 29th of November, that I had been scheduled for an interview for the 5th of December at xyz time. I simply followed the instructions on the mail sent and I had no problem at all when I got to the embassy. The mail served as my appointment letter.
I hope this helps someone out. May all our genuine efforts be met with success.

Update!!!!!

My dad's visa interview done and granted this morning.
I was still hoping to get a closer date for his appointment as I was only seeing Jan 2026 and earliest May 2025, so I waited patiently only to receive a mail from the consulate last Monday that an appointment has been scheduled for him for today. I was surprised but then remembered I had sent several mails to them that I have been unable to schedule an appointment due to the GTB receipt issue.
I told my dad about it and he went with the printed email inviting him for the appointment, alongside other documents of course
Long story cut short, appointment was quick and done within an hour.
Again, I don't know if this is the norm or He was just lucky but, all what I did is in the quoted below for those in similar situation with their GTB receipt.
Good luck to everyone[/color]

JEXXY15:
Please I need help, I paid my MRV visa fee on 13 Aug 2024, And I added the payment on the old CGI portal but I didn't select an appointment date because of this new migration. Now I've created an account on AVITS I am adding my Reference number to a prompt asking if I paid my MRV fees before 26th Aug, I selected yes. Yet it still keeps saying Receipt not found for *****my reference number I got from GTB. Please what do I do. My payment isn't adding up to let me select an appointment date

You'd get an email if it is approved or if you need to upload additional document e.g Authority of debit
It would be approved by the local bank

the Assist is at the local level, when you talk to someone in CBN they in turn turn to someone at the local bank level
