Good morning family. Please, I need help with these questions from anyone who has traveled to the US recently:

a. What specific covid test is required?

b. Did you apply for PTA via the TRMS and how long did it take to get a response?

c. What follow up action can I take if I have not received a response in 3 days?

d. Is there a way to check for status update on the TRMS portal?

Thanks a million in anticipation of your speedy response.

God bless you @Shawlar you have just pointed out a very key point! I didn't even think of that... the passport is expiring Feb 2023 that's less that a year validity while the visa is 2 years! shocked

I guess that's the issue. Would get her a new passport right away.

Thanks everyone, will surely revert here with the good news of successfully obtaining the visa by God's special grace!
Nah, I dont think this expiry date of Feb 2023 is much of an issue tbh. Expiry dates that are within 6months of the interview date are usually what is frowned at. Just prepare for the other issues like others have advised and make sure u cover all bases. Good luck.

Good day everyone!

I need help with US Visa Interview Waiver program.

My wife submitted her passport for the Interview Waiver visa renewal at the Lagos embassy on 1st April 2022 but was returned without a visa, but was asked to come back in person to the embassy within one year period. Please see attached paper slip placed inside the returned passport which stated thus: "Come with your international passport. Ensure accurate bio-data and validity"

My question is does anyone have an idea why she's asked to return to the embassy for interview?

Some additional Info:
1. The appointment date was a week past the 24-month validity period due to the delay in getting a date
2. Never overstayed previous 2 visits, though had a baby during last visit 2 years ago

I need link to join the Lagos Telegram group. Thank you.
Like some peeps here have said already, its most likely due to the baby she had last time but I dont think they have ever made this statement "Come with your international passport. Ensure accurate bio-data and validity" in any of such cases that have come up here in the past couple of months. So asides from prepping for the questions on childbirth, also check the validity of her passport to ensure its still within the required number of months. If its a recently renewed passport, check and make sure there is no discrepancy btw its bio data & the previous one or btw it and the info on her ds160. Just to make sure you have covered all bases..
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by shawlar(m): 1:38pm On Mar 20, 2022
You are only allowed to log into the interview portal a limited no. of times (3, I think) per day. If you try to exceed the limit, the profile is frozen for 72hours.


megastu:
Why does profile freeze and tells you it will open after 72 hours? Someone is trying to book a date for IW. Entered yesterday no issue, entered today and it gave the info that it will be frozen for 72 hours.
TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by shawlar(m): 3:12pm On Mar 11, 2022

Hello everyone,

Please I need your suggestion/input. So, I am resident in Europe as a student and I am working and doing importation business too by the side. I have been to the US twice previously. However, upon return from the US in 2019, whilst my previous visa was still valid for about a month, I tried renewing my visa but was denied and told I was not qualified at the time. Fast forward to last week, I was invited for an interview after going the non-appearance route and when the interviwer asked if I had a family and I said yes, she said why was I not going to the US with them and I told her that they are back in Nigeria and that I am going alone. She then said I was not qualified again but that I can always reapply. This is happening after 2 years and 5 months from my previous refusal in 2019 for a country I had visited twice and did not stay more than 2 weeks plus in my previous visits and I usually visited when the visas had about 3 to 4 months validity period left.

My question is this, can I reapply immediately cos it would be pointless waiting for another 2 years only to be refused once again if I fail to set the records straight. The fact is that I did not mention anything about me having a registered business back home on the DS 160 form aside claiming to be a graduate student and that I have a fiancee and kids back home. I want to reapply and state on the occupation aspect that I am both a graduate student here in Europe and a businessman with a duly registered company back home and that the property we live in back home is owned by me and also state that I have all the documentary proof to establish these facts as it relates to the importation business and property ownership. I even intend to furnish my business related documents such as CAC documents, receipts, bills of lading and bank statement to prove availability of funds and proof that a business is actually going on. On the form, there is also a portion to state how much I earn montly from my business in Euros and I intend to state that as well. Please, I would like to know if reapplying right back in order to set the records straight won't be seen as desperation on my part because I have been issued the visas twice in the past in this same country. Please, kindly advise on the best way to go about it as I have already filled the form but yet to submit and pay the visa fee as I don't want this refusal to affect my UK visa renewal as I have a valid UK visitor's visa that I intend to renew upon my return from the UK. Thanks in anticipation.
This your case is very curious as you have been issued the visa twice already in the same country. I'm thinking maybe your ties to the European country is not as strong as it was before, You might be nearing the end of your programme in school or something? or Maybe you transacted some importation business in the US when you travelled last.

You can always reapply whenever you like but you need to try and figure out the reason for the denial so as to resolve it in your application.

An added little googling would still have saved you the same ignorance you claim I've embraced. They can be efficient in water, detergent and even power. Have a higher spin cycle and gentle on clothes but still you ignored the fact that bending over to load and offload can be uncomfortable and make you lazy out of washing the rest and it's hard to add clothes mid cycle. I'm still very sure you don't know they have mold issues when you use too much detergent and will end up smelling (my first real challenge). Worst of all, it can't be overloaded unlike top loaders.

Oga no vex with me abeg. Everybody with him own. I can never advice anyone to buy front loader just because they want to combine 3 buttons together and leave it to do the rest. I don't know for you ooo. But from comparison, the time I save from top loader makes more sense to me than my ex front loader
Lmao.... cheesy cheesy cheesy grin These your excuses are hilarious....!!! Let me get you right. The front loader is bad becos

1. It makes you bend down when loading it
2. It gets mold because YOU use too much detergent...!!!
3. It doesnt let you overload it....!!!

grin grin grin grin grin

Abeg, Abeg, I give up becos next thing you'll say is that it catches fire when you pour fuel & light matches near it..���

Ok sir.
They may walk round the house noiseless, drinks half glass of water for washing or even uses a shot of detergent for 10kg laundry. I careless about using the top as an added advantage even though only a handful of people can be this lucky to use a front loader past 10yrs without major issues, they can NEVER be as durable as top loaders.

Experienced it.
A little googling would have saved you this ignorance you are displaying here.... A top loader should never even be compared to a front loader. A front loader is more efficient, in terms of water and detergent usage and even washes better overall than top loaders. They have higher spin cycles and RPM but are still more gentle on your clothes than top loaders...
Everywhere you see laundromats, they usually use front loading washers cos they are the far better choice..
