Please it is Abuja I applied to directly not lagos and I was given July 29th. I've applied for Emergency appointment twice and got denied, I don't know if I'm doing it wrong, is there anyone who can tell me what and what to upload to them for an Emergency appointment to be approved please.
Sorry to hear that.

Documents you need to upload:
I-20,
Admission letter,
Sevis fee receipt,
DS-160,
MRV or VISA fee receipt - if you like.

Can’t tell why you weren’t approved. Would advise you give it another shot.

To me, Abuja still approves EA more than Lagos. Lagos declined my request and it was granted in Abuja.

Cheers!

Thank you!

Please one more thing once I make payment I can start looking for dates and can also pick visa interview dates right ?
No.

You’d need a ds-160 form ID. Before you can obtain this ID, you’d need to fill an online form (ds-160) with your SEVIS ID which is contained in your form I-20.

Cheers!

I have admission at the moment please is possible to pay for visa fee even without paying for sevis fee yet because I’m yet to request for my I-20 due to funding decision
Absolutely.

Payment is valid for a year if I’m not mistaken.

Do not share the payment page/reference with no one as they may use it and you may be needing to make another payment.

In addition, you can use same to schedule a Visa interview twice.

Cheers!

Hello guys. Happy Sunday.

Just want to start preparing for US study Visa what do I need to know??

Plus I haven't been understanding the abbreviations on this thread
1. Start from somewhere.
2. Look for schools and apply to them.
3. If you get an offer of admission, accept and you’d get a form named I-20. This is the form that contains what the amount you’d be paying and it’s same form you’d be presenting to get your visa.
4. Pay visa fee (67,200) on GTBank.
5. Pay Sevis fee of $350.
6. Schedule an interview.
7. Attend the interview.

You need to get to stage 3 before moving further to stage 4 and above please.

Cheers!

Please my school is due to resume on the 31st of January, 2022 and I was given a visa appointment for July 29th, 2022. I applied for emergency visa appointment date twice from my portal and it was denied. Please what can I do to be able to get a date before 31st of January.
Where did you apply to for this EA?

If Lagos, try Abuja.

Greetings to all,

Please can anyone give me a link on where to buy an appointment date from?
I am applying for a US student (F1) visa. And I need a between March and April 2022. Thank you.
There really isn’t nothing as this.

Do apply for an Expedited Appointment (EA) yourself.

In my case, I did apply to Lagos and it was declined. I then switched to Abuja and I got approved.

Cheers!

It's definitely true bro, base fare of any trip, irregardless of distance is 600, bit add the said 5% commission its suppose to give you a total of atleast 635, but its a lie, the minimum trip still remains 600. The driver bears the 5% cost eventually.
My bad then. I thought people clarified it not to be so.

Let’s stay positive, look beyond the current challenges, plan for the future and dump this for something higher.

Lol, virtually every business had massive sales November/December, everyone knows it's the period when goods and services are at higher demands. FYI, the surge on bolt came towards the xmas week, and peaked on new years eve when people were reportedly seeing 3X surges.

I put it to you that the high commission is what's actually pissing out most drivers, 600 is the minimum price for any trip, but now bolt has increased its commission to 25.4% albeit not officially, we're told the 5% increase is on the riders which is actually a lie. 600 trip still stays at 600, which is supposed to be like 635 or thereabouts, which isn't so, and recently it seems the fare has been reduced also.

Many drivers are now flocking to indriver as it pays them cos of reduced commission.
This is not true.

I think Bolt takes that off the customers, not drivers or so.

My point is: some people here condemn the business vehemently but same people goes behind hitting the road as early as possible.
If they’re not exposed, they wouldn’t tell you they’ve got some side hustles.

The fact that you said some have ported to indriver shows people would always find their way around situations as indriver is also an ehailing app.

The business isn’t as bad as some persons paint it here. Someone here shared their strategy of 8 - 5pm or thereabouts and still making something reasonable.

Nairaland isn’t real life sometimes. No job is that easy.

Let’s keep pushing the hopes alive.

Cheers!

A relative got spring admission with full funding. She applied for F1 and F2 (for her husband) in Lagos but they were both denied. Admission has been deferred to Fall and another visa application has been made to Lagos but wants to change to Abuja.
Any advice please?
Oh,

To the best of my knowledge, since the admission has now been deferred, I’m not sure they can request an EA not until some sixty(60) days to school resumption.

Good morning everyone,

I applied for F1 visa in 2019 and was denied. Now, I want to apply again. Do I need to fill out a new DS-160 form or retrieve the one I submitted in 2019?

Your advice will be much appreciated.
I think you’d be needing to fill another.

Why’re people complaining and condemning the business at this time?

Nov./Dec. were surge months, there were no advices on how bad the business is but now, you see all sorts.

Funny enough you can’t even pay for a trip yourself on a normal day not to talk of surge trips and you did enjoy all of those.

It’s just common sense thinking that people won’t have much to spend during at early January.

Same people won’t stop being in the business but would only post bad days trip details and ignore those good ones.

One man for himself. Do not listen to people who don’t do the talk.

I yield!

Please did you get EA for Abuja too? I learned that one can only apply for another EA after being denied after six months. How true is this?
This is not true.

Good evening, please I need an advice. I paid for my visa fee b1/b2 and also scheduled an appointment but did not remember to add my kids to CGI portal. My issue is now I want to add them. I was told to council my appointment then add them and reschedule. My question now is
1. Will I get same date I have before. because the available date is July 2023
2. Hope I will not have to pay another fee. Someone should pls help me. Thanks
1. For the date, you may need to settle for what’s offered to you then you can now book another EA.

2. I think you can cancel once and use the same MRV reference to reschedule without no payment.
