My main purpose of going there is to buy cars myself, which will save me more money than online, so may be I should eradicates ‘inspect’ and we are talking about 8-10 cars. Going there to buy it myself will save my close to $10k than buying it online, which is enough to cover the 10-14 days trip. So is not to really inspect tho

At this stage, you don't need us since you've already made up your mind, remember anything can happen, so give it a try, we learn everyday.

I did not book my appointment through CGI there's a site they used to book appointment in UAE but I read something like cancel an appointment before you can be able to edit

I dont think that I will like to cancel my appointment that is coming up in less than one month then wait for almost a year for new appointment date...

Please is it possible to correct the mistake and go along with the old and new confirmation page without touching the appointment website

I'm not aware you're trying to apply from UAE and you will need to call them to assist you. This platform is for Nigerian applicant.

Hello house, this place was quite helpful during my application time for child-birth (2018). I will be going for renewal (interview) in January, please, while filling my DS-160 , do I have to fill in my child’s name under “other persons traveling with you?” Though, we are traveling together but she has a US passport (citizen) kinda looks confusing since she isn’t applying, is filling her info optional? This is for just visit/vacation. Kindly assist!!
Yes fill her information under '' other persons traveling with you''

Hello Good Evening all
I’m new here and I have a quick question.
My mum travelled to the US for visiting in 2018 and after she got back she reapplied in 2020 for the same category but she was denied.
Now my question. Is she qualified for the drop box (Interview waiver) or she needs to go through regular appointment?
Also I kindly request for a BI/B2 visa date search group (WhatsApp or telegram)
Your response is highly appreciated.
Thank you!!!

How long was her stay in U.S? She's not qualified for Dropbox.

So you were saying no chance for me? Or is there a way I should go about it
I'm not one of the consular or work at the embassy but I've spent more than 8 years on this thread and I can tell you from experience that, your reason for traveling to U.S is quite weak for a first time traveler, as a first time traveler, you have no business going near the embassy except in exceptional cases, you need quality travel history, you can actually stay behind and be sending cars to Nigeria.

I never knew this page exists here on nairaland thank God Sha, please I have a question I booked an appointment for b1/b2 us visa and got Nov 2023 as the date as the first one that was scheduled for 2020 was cancelled, someone told me that he can cancel it again and get me a closer date, I don't know if that's possible as I heard you don't schedule more than twice, am really confused as I don't know if it is possible
You shouldn't cancel twice oooo... but if you can afford the visa fees, you're free to go ahead.

Hi everyone,
Please I need your candid advice
I am license Auto dealer, I plan to go to US for short business trip (10-14 days) to source my cars myself to physically inspect the cars. Please what are my chances of getting approval?
I have a wife and kids
Never step foot out the country before
Thanks In advance

Take your time to go through the previous thread especially Part 2 and 3 because from experience they usually deny a lot of vehicle dealers probably because you're basically going to U.S to work as a vehicle inspector there by taking the job from a U.S citizen.

Thank you for your response....please what do you mean by CGI?

SECONDLY..I hope it will not affect my appointment date because it's not easy to get closer date....I already secure interview date on first week of January

No it won't affect your interview date and CGI is the website you use in getting appointment date.

I need urgent assistant... I apply for visit visa in 2018 with my wife but no kid it was denied fast forward 2022 I asked someone to fill DS 160 on my behalf but I'm traveling alone for visit visa but he ticked I'm single instead of married plaese he has submitted the form since over two months and my interview is next month,....can I still correct this error ....mind you I live outside Nigeria but my wife and kid live in nigeria
Yes you can correct it, just retrieve the old form and start a new application, almost 90% of your info would be on the new form and remember to change the old ds160 number in your cgi profile.

Here's my interview transcript today in
Cyprus embassy
Intl student in Cyprus.

2nd attempt

Me - Good morning

Vo - good morning

Vo - why are you traveling to the us

Me - Am travelling to spend the Christmas vacation with my uncle in L.A

Vo - where does your uncle live and is he a student or working

Me - he's teaching in USA

Vo - I can see u were denied 2 weeks ago, what has changed in your application

Me - actually I had an error in my previous Ds160 confirmation page where I wrongly checked paphos Cyprus as my place of birth and also I changed my sponsorship and my parents would be sponsoring my trip.

Vo -How long have you been here

Me - 10 months now

[12/13, 1:12 PM] Eric Dior: Vo- where do your parents live, The error can't be reason for denial and also what do your parents do.

Me - My parents live in Nigeria and my father is an architect and my mother is a cosmetic distributor.

Vo - what where you previously doing in Nigeria before you came to Cyprus to study

Me - I'm studying and I transferred my studies here in Cyprus.

Vo - ok once again place your fingers on the scanner(After that)

Vo - unfortunately I can't issue you a visa, I will give u a letter stating reason for your denial (214b as usual)
Me - but ma my my parents has been the once paying my sch fees here

Vo - Am sorry, U.S embassy here in Cyprus have a rules for young students who can't sponsor their trips.
(She quickly pressed the button for next applicant)

Thank God she gave you a clue for your refusal. Try to apply for UK or EU visa, go on trips in Europe, that should convince the American embassy and please don't reapply again for now.

Flew in using Egypt Air, landed at IAD

Lagos to Cairo 5hrs 30mins…Cairo to Washington DC 11hrs 30mins

POE was a breeze!

Me: “Good morning sir”

Officer: “Morning sir. Please pass your passport to me. Could you please remove your cap?”

Me: Quickly removed my Panama cap.

Officer: “Do you have any liquor in your bag?”

Me: “Not at all”

Officer: “You can go ahead.” Returned my passport to me.

Now the holiday begins!!!

I know how much you love IAD, thanks for the POE experience and have a lovely holiday.... how cold?

Hello fellow Nairalanders, I qualify for the revised 48 months Dropbox rule but my question is how do I get a us visa for my new born child under this rule? Please someone should enlighten me, thank you

You need to submit your visa first, after issuance of visa, I think your new born is qualified automatically, all you need to do is pay the baby visa fees, fill the Ds160 form and open profile/scheduling page for the baby and send a mail from the profile/scheduling account to U.S embassy, they will take it up from there.

any clue on restricted items when entering the usa?...i wish to avoid secondary.
dry vegetables and dry fish are allowed abi?. its only yam that i learnt was prohibited a couple of yrs ago.

is IAD - Dulles washington. a tough poe?

IAD is good for Nigerians, Ethiopian and Africans generally because they received more than 2 daily flight from African. Processing takes time, secondary screening is not a lot for Africans.

I’ve done that it’s still same issue. I can even get passed the first page to select location. I choose Lagos Nigeria and it reloads and kicks me out. Sometimes it just doesn’t bring the list of countries/locations for me to choose from so I’m stuck.

It’s been same way since last night.�

Yes. It was extended to cover 48months so even if your last visa expired around Dec 2018, you should be eligible.

However do note that you must have paid your visa fees by May 2022 to enjoy the interview waiver service.

A few people have opined that they were able to get dates and confirmation even with MRV receipts made after this time so feel free to confirm this when you're scheduling your date.


I paid my visa fees on 25th Nov, got Dropbox submission date first week in December and visa issued within a week of submission.

Good day people.
An agent got me an interview date.
Now I noticed that my name on CGI is
Surname and First name only.

But on my ds160 form and passport, I have three names: Surname, First name and middle name.

It's stated on the page that one should put the the first and middle names inside the first name field. Kindly see attached.

I asked him to change as I couldn't do so on my end.

He says it's not a challenge. That I shouldn't worry.

But I'm concerned. Kindly advise please.

Thank you.
Your name on DS160 and International Passport must match, that should be your concern. The CGI profile encourage just 2 names.
