iyaaliyah: Hello. Pls, is this possible? An unexpired old passport was used to fill DS 160 form but there is a new passport now. At the point of collecting the new passport, they didn't cancel the old passport. You know the usual 'cancel without prejudice'. Please note: 1. The old passport is not expired. It expires in 2024. 2. The old passport contains all previous visas and stamps. Can one still use this old passport for interview coming up end of the month? Old passport is already cancelled whether they stamped it or not. |

In calling out someone then you're calling out yourself As long as that account in was not opened by you then it is fraudulent. It doesn't matter what you paid the agent. As long as the account belonged to someone else who has no connection with you and did not consent to use of his account then it is fraud.
If you paid someone to produce funds you do not have them you consented to fraud. Just because you and others did not get the outcome you wanted makes the agent fake? Sometimes fraud works sometimes it does not. Whatever results you get you take it with that risk |

Samnigazz: I applied and paid online for the renewal; it took me about 3 months from the capture date to when I got the passport in my mailbox. I heard that it is faster now though. Someone reported that it took her less than 2 months to get it renewed. NIS has been clearing the backlog of passports in Nigeria and abroad so timelines are shorter. |

Kunleop: Good afternoon
I want to ask, my friend is making application for his mother but there was a mistake he made when he's doing his own application, like, when they asked about his mother name and date of birth, he made mistake with name and date of birth of his mother. The date of birth is 1970 but he filled 1965 while the name is *TAIWO AGEEbut he filled BASIRAT AGEE Although the mother bear the same name but on birth certificate is TAIWO AGEE.
is it going to have any implications ob her Visit visa. @dduchess90 and other gurus pls help. He was on cross road now If he has submitted then it's too late, If she should have to reapply, let her address the inconstancies in the additional info section. I thinks it's more weight for parents to be right on their own age than if the children know their parents right age. Many ppl don't know their parents full names until processes like this happen. Both of my parents wrote different names on my birth certificate than what they've actively used in their passports. So pls don't sweat it, even some parents don't know their birth date or year sotay many reference a military coup or some global event as a time to calculate estimates. Next time use the additional info section to address any guesswork |

Cheaper tickets you have to try other airlines e.g African airlines Egyptair, Ethiopian airlines, Kenya air, Then note you might still need transit visas if they connect to some European countries. Lastly it will take longer by far to get there. |

Mannymanny: I’m sorry for bothering you with my question. I’m currently in the UK and planning on having my wife birth our second child in the US in 2 years time. We all have our B1/B2 visas. Does one need to have any form of US health insurance? Or let me ask, how do you all do it that the bills are within reasonable limits? I’m asking cos I know health bills in the US are ridiculously expensive. Cos these prices I’m seeing are quite cheap compared to what I’ve been hearing. I’ll appreciate your response and any pointers. Thanks. They pay cash. Costs for birth are not cast in stone so they can still pile up if there's a change or unexpected added services If you can find health insurance that covers birthing in the US explore it, else start saving money |

Rdfactor: Hi everyone.
Please, is there anyone here who have done an F1 visa renewal before? I need some guidance.
I have reasons to be physically present in Nigeria next month and my F1 visa also expires next month. I was told it’s possible to do Dropbox and have ur passport mailed to ur address in Nigeria while still in Nigeria. If anyone has done renewal before, I’ll like to talk. Thanks You can renew but I doubt they will deliver to your address. You'd have to pickup at DHL Lagos or Abuja. It's not called Dropbox it's called interview waiver , check requirements on the US embassy Nigeria site and follow prompts for interview waiver to book appointment. Interview waiver applicants can still be called for interviews so bare that in mind Your might want to consider getting it renewed in nearby embassies in Mexico or Canada instead. |

But, my bf is back in lag and we haven’t even officially gotten married. I need to come to lag, do the wedding and come back to file for him. And then the waiting begin… I’m hoping he’d apply for visit visa and hopefully he’s granted. That way he can also be visiting.
Do you think there are other options we can explore?? Applying for visit visa if he gets it all good whilst you wait. I don't know of any other option. |

Rayhanna: Was there a reason why she wasn’t able to file for her bf 1yr after? I’m also in the same dilemma that she why I’m asking. Kindly clarify if you know please. Some of things I recall she mentioned are everyday realities She just moved so she had to adjust, get certs apply for work. She had 3kids, moved in with her mum who also worked so she was limited in work hours she could do cos of the kids Time! To come back to Nigeria you'd need leave days which would mean scheduling who who would take care of kids whilst she away. My thoughts as well US is notorious for being stingy with leaves it's typically 10-15 days a year. So many people who have to make trips to Nigeria wait till they can accumulate enough leave days . That can take two years for most Money!; Shed be the primary sponsor so she'd need to prove the income threshold to file for him. If you add the above with the fact that in filing the new spouse becomes F2A and goes through the same wait as it is in Nigeria consulate. Filing-Petition approval-NVC-DQ-Interview, then these are realities |

Knowlegeseeking: Thank you.
Please guys, in the event she doesn't know the fathers date of birth as he passed away when she was still a child and her mum also says she doesn't remember but gave an estimate. How can i fill her fathers date of birth without it being a misrepresentation? I explained this in the space for notes at the end of the application.
Also, please can anyone help with the church recommendation/attestation letter template.
Thank you. Use additional information part of the application and explain you guessed the age because you're are not sure Are you the one filling for her as a representative or you're just filling the form and she's still the person acknowledging that the form was filled by her. The reason I asked this is that in the additional information section if you are filling that part as a representative it would read..grandpas date of birth details are an estimate because mum does not know the exact date. That's different from writing I am not sure of my father's exact date of birth the details filled are an estimate. Let her print out form for reference in the future. |

General advice
Filing costs money o, getting DQ has a cost element o
If you can save in dollars in Nigeria do so
Ensure you have your birth certificates plus that of your kids. Keep photos over the years of your family and of the petitioner
Get your original school certificates including post secondary. You might need them to evaluate certs
You might need cosponsor especially if you're F3 or F4. Your petitioner is the primary sponsor but if their income threshold is not enough to cover you and your family then you need a cosponsor. Preferably one who has not sponsored anyone else . You can have multiple cosponsors but they all must fill the appropriate form and share their tax returns abi na W2.
Lastly pray for the good health and well-being of your petitioner. E get why |

zed7: Priority date, approval date or whatever you call it. My priority date is Jan 2013. Anyway, whatever works for you is fine. Actually you are both right, it can up to 20years it can be far less. The bulletin moves based .on different factors There was a period for my case I thing 2017 where it literally moved 2-3months for that fiscal year. I was literally prepping to leave in 2018 . Then it slowed down to 2-4weeks movement. I left the matter 2019 randomly checked and I wasn't ready. I got the mail to prep docs, I even delayed like 3months cos I wasn't interested again. I had to talk to people to get advice. But I remember one poster here Winneysometthing. Her case is long, she eventually ended up on F3. As at the time my F1 was up to submit docs...like a miracle her category jumped months in the bulletin and she was interviewed and by Aug or so of 2019 family was in the US. Just like that someone who thought she had one year plus to wait was done. Whilst I who had more likelihood to leave before her as F1 didn't go till 2021 cos I got caught in COVID plus two Trump EOs. Keep this process as backup option Live your life Check in once in awhile to know what's happening. And once your case is up move and prep fast. It's a journey not a destination. All the best to everyone |

Kemluv004: Thanks for your response. I previously applied for a Canadian visa where I included my husband in the application that's one. We haven't been DQd, priority date 2008. My fear is the Canadian visa application I did that would reflect my hubby's details. To start filing the divorce process takes time and we have less than a year to submit documents to be DQd. My passport has been changed to hubby's name thinking of changing back to my maiden name but the process is slow with immigration. Have done change of name on nin but still waiting for the previous passport in my husband's name to come out since April. If your PD is 2008 then if you are F3 ie married daughter the current Oct bulletin has that as Mar09 https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2024/visa-bulletin-for-october-2023.htmlYou should have received email to submit your documents for NVC processing since..
