OmoBendel24:
Interview date is already too close for such from what can be seen on the embassy's home page or so....

My suggestion is that you should first try updating your profile by yourself first, then send new appointment confirmation to yourself and see if it carries the new number. If it does, I think that normally signals you are good to go (can't remember what I read about this situation again here sha). This isn't a rock solid advice from me as before please

Call them too to see if your profile update at your end can be concretized at their end too. You barely have any time left to do all these. Whew!

Is this change minor or major if one may ask?

it will not work.... They have a list with DS160 number for the next day interview so if his appointment page carries the new ds160 code, it will be different from the one they have at the embassy.

therealprinceuk:
After much considerations, I've decided not to edit anything on my already submitted application form because it may cause me to schedule another appointment date which I don't want. I clicked on the option to CREATE A NEW APPLICATION, the system brought a fresh Application ID, I had to close the window right away because I don't want to cause any problems or delays with my application.

I will stick with Hilton Hotel which I stated in my application, i am sure they won't ask for proof of hotel reservation since they don't encourage applicants to pay for hotel/airfare till they receive their visa. Correct me if am wrong.

The only thing I want right now is to see/crosscheck my already submitted visa application form to be sure that every info is correct, with UK visa application process its easy but with the USA method I did not see any option to print my visa application.

If anyone knows how I can view my already submitted application form please guide me so I can just have a look, I submitted it the same day I traveled out of the country on business and now that I am back I wanted to review everything to be sure, my interview is just 2 days time.

You should not change your DS160 number/code 48 hours before interview because the new number will not reflect on U.S Embassy list (CGI) for interview on that day... every changes must be before 48hrs to your interview.

therealprinceuk:
Thanks I will follow @omobendel advice and fill another form right away.
However, the hotel reservation can be canceled for free which is why I choose the new hotel.
Thanks very much for helping out

Oh great then... Goodluck

OmoBendel24:
Use option 2. See page 0, first post of this thread, it's all there....

You can also use your mouth to do this type of correction during interview though.

Just a note to you... don't pay for hotel or flight before getting the visa secondly follow @omobendel advice just to be on the safe side you should fill another form.

LadyGuinivere:
Pardon me. Never flown Emirates. Is it not the regular plane size and regular leg room?
Why are you so particular about a special seat? Me, I'm very tall, but the regular seats suit me just fine abi u have ajebo spirit?

I think he's looking for a window seat and the window seat must not be on the wing and not at the back of the aircraft.... so preferred seat is always at the front of the plane before the wing.

Activedreamer:
I was actually trying to buy only for Dubai to NY. Almost all the correct seats are gone.
I have given up though. I go manage anyone I get 48hrs before boarding.
Thanks to you and @OmoBendel

Depending on the type of A380 Emirates is planning to use, if it's the 3 class configuration then I'm not sure you will get your preferred seat for free but if the plane is a 2 class configuration consisting of Business Class and Economy Class you will surely get your preferred seat because most time the plane is always 70% full and they have economy seat at the upper deck as well.
Keep checking you maybe lucky.

Activedreamer:
Ok..Thanks

Bro why pay for seat when you can do it free 48 hours to boarding? unless your travel date is near because free seat selection will be available 48 hours before boarding and it's free of charge.
Secondly, if your flight is not on thursday,friday and saturday you will surely get a window seat from Abuja to Dubai but not sure about Dubai to U.S, You can pay for seat on your Dubai to U.S leg.

Activedreamer:
I am trying to buy a sit on Emirates, but facing some challenges.
While filling out,I filled my city as Abuja, but they keep asking me to fill my city in alphanumeric. Please, what do they mean? I am stuck cos I can't make payment. Someone, please, help.

Meanwhile, na wah for Emirates, they don sell seats finish. Very few comfy seats left. I thought I was to book for free 48 hours before departure. I guess it's cos it's on promo,abi na their usual.

First of all... your city is ABV and you can only hold your seat for 48 hrs for a fee after which you may lose it, if you don't pay within 48hrs..
Emirates website is very easy to use.

SexyDuby:
Hello everyone,
Went for our(my brother & i) interview this morning and twas half successful
I tried as much as possible to take note of every single detail while on the queue.
From the queue to get our document checked outside, i noticed some VO's (about to resume their shift) alight from the ferry. There was a particular lady looking at all of us on the queue and shaking her head profusely as if to say "All of these people coming for interview today

The blue paper kept flying everywhere. A family of 6 were denied(tears dropped on d wife's face). Even the oba of( dont know where) in his full regalia was denied. The cele couple(oh how i smiled when i sighted their grand entry in white) were also denied to mention but a few.

Goodluck to those going and have genuine reasons to apply.

Your brother should do the needful and get more travel history.... nawa for the Cele couple oooo na agent work be that.

BreeKoko:

I usually followup on promo, will post when next I see any

Nawa oooo na you buy up all the seat.

Please announce it on the thread next time.

HelenaEdwin:

Nice.... That means there was more than 8 hours stopover in Dubai for you?

HelenaEdwin:

Me: good àfternoon ( passed my passport to him)

CPO: good afternoon to you too. Hope you are not too tire?

Me: (laughed) yes i am

CPO: place your right fingers here amd please take of your glasses. I dont want you to fall asleep here ( the officer was laughing)

Me: dont worry i can endure few more seconds

CPO: Are you here on vacation or....... ?

Me: Vacation

CPO: have a good day and enjoy your holiday

Note: did not ask if i am with any food stuff. Second time in the US.

LadyGuinivere:

N362K from Lagos to Chicago : Emirates and Qatar

LadyGuinivere:
Darn. I'm checking tickets. Chicago is less expensive than NY. And I wanna do NY!!! Want to see Trevor Noah live. Please any tricks or promos on September?! Lagos /NY?
Like 360k would be swell Seen that for Emirates but to Chicago

hnmmmmmmm Can you do Emirates but you will land in IAD?

I think Newyork can work give me a date to work with.

OmoBendel24:
I also don't understand what OP means by "JFK and New York Airport" despite having according to him read a lot of posts on the thread. Well, I really dunno what to say yet till he makes what he wants and the background to it clearer.

I think the problem is choosing between JFK and EWR. I think for him to be this worried, there's something amiss, anyway any of those airport is okay.

lollipop29:
My wife would be going to the US soon for delivery. Pls what are the Nigerian foods that she can go with that won’t pose a problem at the point of entry and also, what is the best packaging method we should use for these food items ?

Thanks in advance for your response

I think they will give you an idea of that in the Birthing in U.S thread. I have no idea what to pack because I don't travel with food.

casey77:
Have gone thru alot of post here now d issues of poe, this is my first time of travelling . Don't wanna mk mistake thats y. don't wanna post some thing dat will make other readers to misinterprete n jump into conclusions of any type. I just want make my journey smooth wella, dats y i earlier asked in my previous post
Jfk and new York airport, which one has less stress @ dia poe

Bro can we make something clear;
New York State has many airport and two(2) of the biggest airport in New York State is located in New York City.
New York City is made up of 5 borough namely;
Manhattan,
Queens,
Brooklyn,
Bronx and
Staten Island not Harlem

The biggest airport in New York City is JFK airport which is located in Queens while there's LGA airport which is located in Queens as well..
There is another airport EWR which is located across the river/lagoon etc in Newark, New Jersey.
Almost every flight from Africa,Middle East and sometimes Europe mostly land in JFK or EWR in New York and New Jersey respectively.

demmy01:
Bro, my advice to you is not to hide anything on this platform. Great guys are here to attend to your enquiries and advise you properly .
If this is your first time of traveling, you really have nothing to fear unless you have other ulterior motives. Good luck.

Yes oooo...

ladylco:
Not only bankers you wud be suprised at the nums of oil workers that are taking off.
But I tell you something, in no time they will defiantly run back here becos they will not also be able to cope with doing things right as it's done over there as against what applies back home here.

So make we sidon look

Spot on LadyG... What people don't get is that this country will get better all we need to do is hold tight for a little while... I have complete faith in this country.

larrybakky:
Good afternoon, i was refused a US visa for the 4th time and i dont understand why its so. My first application was in October 2008 while i was pregnant( with hubby), the 2nd was December 2010 while pregnant again(alone) and the 3rd was 2012 with my kids but we were denied. Just on Monday 9th of July 2018, i went for another interview alone (hubby got his in 2014 when he applied alone)and was still denied again even with travel history. Below is the conversation between the VO and i
VO: Good morning
ME: Good morning
VO: where re you going to in the US

ME: yes, my Uncles and cousins
and that was how conversation ended with a paper that she's sorry she cant give me.

Pls can i do a Mail to ask them why i am been refused the 4th time?

Sorry about the denial.... Do you have a copy of your UK visa or any evidence? if Yes, you should have presented it at the embassy, secondly how did your aunt got to U.S?
Did your husband re-applied through dropbox?

OmoBendel24:
What is it you don't know? Why you are worried or what your visa is for?

Please share it here so we can all learn one or 2 things from you.

OmoBendel24:
Even if na Dubai sef, make dem just go dis holiday period, just to show say na holiday matter be true true tie dem....

Meanwhile I dey see you and Ladylco "baddest", "me I have to ask if I need" and all the laughs oh! I wee only add "oshey" for now, and ask her questions very soon sha. From observation too, babes that are bold to ask are on the rise in naija now, good thing though, unlike before before, exposure methinks.

Not only that Education as well bro...

ladylco:
I feel the VO was not convinced that you're travelling for the purposes stated considering the fact that you just made a trip few months back and putting the present economic factor of nig vis a vis the financial implications for the trip (family of 5) into considerat ion, the VO is just not convinced.

Right now the potential immigrants are the well to do, and they have proven the VOs right and it's costing genuine applicants their visas.

Like you mentioned try again by easter or during children hols but if am to advise if am privy of your travel history I wud have discouraged you to apply wen you did initially. I wud have suggested appling next year instead so it will be obvious that it's a yearly family vac.

All the best next try

Spot on

OmoBendel24:
His response is 'sweeting' my belle die . Classic! I believe too that himself and his wife know way better than the noisemaker forming class 'monitor' here.... Lolz

I swear

ladylco:
That is not a problem, the vo can always get her number without her giving him, if he is into her and really needs her number.

The only hitch there is that your colleague may not be able to get his if she is the one who is interested in him. Me I have learned to ask if I need

Baddest

casey77:
good day every one, i'm new here,thou having been following this thread,

i want to book for ticket,i need ur advice on this:cheap flight n airline to book with,
jfk airport n new york airport,which one is more friendly or has lesser stress,u know all dis dia talki talki tins na

Try Wakanow,travelstart etc , what's your visa for? and why are you worried about if those airport are friendly or not?

OmoBendel24:
The thing scatter for my eyes too. Intelligent question there. Would have said the timing of their trips ain't smooth because of the May UK trip, but then it was without the kids even. Would have preferred maybe she calculated and said what her monthly average income from all source was first before going into details if further probed....

Bro no need to take the kids for interview yet.... V.O read meaning into every Nigerian moves now...

tswise:
Good evening good people here,

My wife and kids B1/B2 visa was denied yesterday. Dear wife, our last born and I have visited Turkey and UK while all the family have visited republic of Benin before. We are a silent reader of this great forum.


We thank God that we did our application ourselves from invaluable knowledge we got from this forum, we saw some people that use agent that were denied too after paying agent 500k.

Please keep up the good work here and help us to analyze this transcript. We wish to reapply next year probably against Easter.

nawa oooo ... do you have U.S visa? why are they applying without you?

NothingDoMe:
I saw that Just.wise has closed lagos.niv's and abuja.niv's threads this morning.

I really miss them and i hope they come back someday.

Really?
