Keep the faith. Keep checking mostly weekends. Mine expired April 8th 2024, saw no dates for IW in Abuja and Lagos. On a Wednesday, lagos dates for 18th till May were released, still no Abuja dates and 18th won't have worked as I would no longer be qualified. I prayed oh, I prayed hard and last week, late Sunday, I saw dates for Abuja. First date there was 8th of April and I quickly booked. So keep checking

please when you were trying to pick a date did you select your annotation as empty or waiver for you to have an IW appointment?

I was looking out for it but I didn't see it. I was just answering the questions.

I was able to pick February 21, 2025

Can I pick an earlier date on the OIS website? I read that it is better to do so.

Please advise. thanks

you lucky then, if you can pick on the same day, it's much more advisable, because OIS can be petty atimes

tsignal:
Is anyone able to pick January 2025 dates in Lagos or those anyone have an appointment this month, trying to see if it blocked this month.

is this an interview waiver or regular appointment

Isha24:
Not yet.
Do I start again and make fresh payments?
Do I forfeit fees for 2 people?
Can I get a refund?
So many questions??

my candid opinion, if you have the money, you make fresh payment, but know that they do not refund. so it means the fees for two will be forfeited. so as for me i will just wait at this point. these guys are so frustrating

temitee4real:
I'm not sure I saw something like that. The questions were a series of questions similar to what was asked on the old portal.
Now, on the appointment calendar, there is Consular appointment calendar and OIS calendar, which one would I choose? Though there are no appointment date available on both calenders.

Choose consular appointment calender then
select the location and move forward, then go to ois portal to check for availability of date .

As for the annotations it's on your visa page so you didn't have any reason to look at the annotations when answering those questions?

Isha24:
Good day,

Please has anyone responded to this enquiry?
I made MRV payments for my son and I since October 29, 2024 and I am still unable to proceed to book an appointment.
It tells me Bank details updated successfully and yet no progress.
It's been nearly 3 months of frustration.

Do I create a new profile and upload the payment details, will that work?
Can I get a refund and restart again?
This is over N700,000.
Please I need urgent guidance.

God bless everyone.

Have you been able to sort this mine has been lingering since Oct 8 no solution am already tired

Hello guys, this is my first time of using this new portal. I qualify for IW after answering the necessary questions but I do not know how to proceed from here. The first screenshot is for my dashboard. The 2nd screenshot is what comes up after I click pending appointment. I don't know how to go further. I need help.

Wow you lucky. Just pick a date and make sure it is the same date you will pick for ois appointment. AlsoWhen you got to the annotations did you click empty or waiver
