Visa must be valid for the day of travel

Dominique is viewing. Mama please get them to take this to FP. Even if I don't get the advice I need, women really need to follow this thread. Someone could beat you to the brink of death!!! You could land in the hospital!!! I lifted a woman with a broken face into my car, her kids crying, my son speechless.

My husband does not seem like he wants to let this go. He's an activist lol.

Rightly so...your kid could have died as an aftermath of that man's anger

Hello guys,

I noticed that the DS 160 confirmation no on my interview appointment sheet differs from the initial one obtained at the point of applying for dropbox renewal but the UID no remains the same. What do i need to do as my interview is less than a month from now.

Thanks

Thats because you probably booked your appointment date before filling the DS 160

@Taal17 I was made to understand that the schedule maintenance was to upload changes to the online forms that were meant to reflect changes to the immigration rule. However since the judge blocked those change, they are in limbo on how to revert back

Do you think it will affect those who have already uploaded the current i864 form? I only had civic doc to upload before system maintenance kicked in. I honestly hope one wouldn't need to redo forms already uploaded
I'm not sure what to tell the parent I'm helping right now

So they didnt think it was necessary to fix all the alternative roads first, rather than put us ALL on lockdown for weeks and they are just on one lane. When they move to the other lanes nko?
How long will we continue this?as if Ambode's case wasnt bad enough

I dont think I can email docs if I've already started online

You logged in today?

I can log in and view but if I click on petitioner to upload anything it says system maintenance

Santa2:
Actually its not. Its not allowing to submit civic documents even though all documents have been uploaded. But I believe I have identified the problem. You can only submit civic documents when all the applicants and derivatives(accompanying members) have been uploaded. But in our case, we have had to remove children (my sibling & I) that have aged out. But the removal is not immediate, its currently showing "under review" from NVC(as shown in the screen shot). Please anyone been in this shoes before? Anyone remove someone not accompanying? I want to know how long it would take to be effected. By the way am filling the application for my parent under f4.

Have you been able to log in to CEAC site?

Sigh,

CEAC site has been down since Friday night!! I cant upload anything...is this deliberate?
I've tried using Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox browsers

They said there would be routine maintenance for 1 day on the 12th of October but this downtime started on the 11th and as at today it is still 'under maintenance'

Any implications for submissions after the 15th of October?

Its only one doc that was left to upload...

Hello,

So I have submitted my DS 160 form and I picked my location as Lagos, I have not paid the fees yet and when I checked appointment for Lagos they are in December. Abuja dates are earlier though - can I fill and another form, submit and switch it with a location in Abuja?

My work takes me to Abuja every now and then and I'm just looking at how to get a date in October - the event I'm traveling for is in November

Anyone? Please?

Please i have a question,
A friend is married to a US citizen. Her husband filed for her to come over. Due to marriage she will be a citizen. The plan is to file for her parents to join her. After which she or her parents will file for her siblings to come to the US. Some of which are married and well into their 30s.
Question is: how can her parents get citizenship by virtue of thier daughter being one? Is it even possible?
Also can she or her parents file for the rest of the siblings?

What she has by marriage is a RESIDENCY card not a US PASSPORT that would make her a citizen. She still needs to meet the requirements of citizenship before getting a US passport. That can take a couple of years. Its when she gets that she can apply for parents and siblings and even that would take 2-15 years ( the shorter time being for parents whilst siblings up to 15years)

So its a YES to your questions

Greetings to the House:

Is(Are) there any person(s) that can provide my family with insights on how to proceed with my children's application.

They were granted visas in 2016 and i(their mom) was present at the interview where we expressed our intention to head to New Jersey to visit a family friend. This was in July. Co-incidentally, i was very busy with work and could not travel that year. The following year, i was granted an F1 visa and had to head out to graduate school. Their father was to take them that year and he was denied a visa...sadly and i was still in the US studying and so, their visas expired.

Currently, i am flexible enough to be able to fly in to pick them up for their vacation and so we applied for the drop box and in two weeks we received an email to pick up the passports and saw that we have been asked to show up for an interview. Honestly, i did not know when the drop box system became a gamble but we are determined to show up and the concern is that i do not know what documents to show up with other than my visa and study documentation.

At this point my husband will be appearing with them but with my documents. Will this impair their chances because he has been denied?
Do we go with a bank statement?
what are the documents required under the 221g section?
Can they be penalized for not honoring their initial visas? They are both minors and travel is solely determined by me and their dad and our circumstances were not very convenient and favorable at the time.



Please can i get some view, opinions or advise?

If you check the US website instructions on dropbox they have ALWAYS said you MAY be called for an interview so it is not unusual.

The best you can assume is that they want to know if your kids are actually in Nigeria.
Your kids would only be able to travel with either you or their dad since their dad doesn't have a visa in my opinion Im not sure how this new application will work unless you are around for their interview.

So documents would have to show who's taking them to the US and how to prove they are coming back. My two cents

chichi234:
I think I agree with you... I guess I have a lot of inhibitions. E.g. I cant give head nor receive. It's disgusting. I can't initiate sex I'm just reclusive when it comes to sex

You need to talk to yourself about where these inhibitions are coming from.
I don't believe orgasm are an ideal before you enjoy sex...so the issue isn't with orgams.
You don't enjoy sex. That's what you need to undo...the route cause. Sex starts with the mind

Discover what stimulates you. Is it smell? Then make sure when and where you have sex is pleasant to you.
Is it ambience? Then plan a trip and prep for sex.
It makes a world of difference

Body stimulation is nerve endings so which do you respond to? Clit? Ears? Lips? Inner thighs?the small of you neck?

Please sexual intimacy is tres important and sex should not be endured . (There's actually a book called sexual intimacy in marriage )

Our hotel in Frankfurt- Hampton by Hilton is a stand-alone building. Cost was about €80/night and the facilities are quite impressive.
You can see that breakfast room picture for an idea. The environment, the ambience, the rooms- Everything was just tight!

So, as we planned to head to Paris, I used the same price range on Booking.com to look for a similar hotel. To say that we were disappointed on arrival will be an understatement. In fact my wife was asking If I'm sure we are in the right hotel. Lol
This hotel is just a basic bread and breakfast stuff. And the breakfast is NOT FREE! We pay €6/ person. They have no fresh fruits servings, no baked beans. Just tea, coffee, cereals, croissants and fresh bread.
Situated in the middle of a 7 floors giant apartment building. The lift that takes us to our 4th floor room takes only 2 people at a time as it is so small. The same building houses like 4 or 5 other similar hotels- you know the way we build shopping plazas in Nigeria - those U shaped buildings.

This hotel is a disappointment guys- but there is a silver lining...

Haha! Welcome to Paris
The lift can't take 2 people it takes 2 skinny people standing in L shape minus luggage

cecegorz:
Guys, something funny happened during our shuttle from CDG to Paris city center.

As we drove through the high way, passed the Stade the France (France '98 Finals stadium) and got to the first traffic stop, our car was swamped at the sides by homeless African immigrants begging for alms, typical of Lagos traffic.
The whole environment was littered with trash, and for us coming in from Frankfurt it was quite shocking. Frankfurt is sparkling clean! Asides the leaves falling off the tree-lined streets, you can't see a drop of nylon or paper on the streets.
So, I called some of my guys that live in Paris to expresse my disappointment as the sight falls short of my expectation. They said we should chill, that we will be wowed when we enter the city...

Wait till you get to the Eiffel tour. Hold your valuables, use a saddle bag that you put in front of you

Hey guys GoodAftn...

Been awhile but i been a silent reader...
I am abit worried on Dropbox renewals from this experiences that has been shared here in recent times , cos this year i had chose not to renew until i am sure i have a travel plan to visit, to avoid un-used visas that i end up with...
My B1/B2 expired in Sept and its definitely looking like i would be travelling to the US first week in Jan but from London.
I haven't violated any visa usage/rules, so i am hoping i wont be slammed with an invite for interview..
When is the best time to drop my application for renewal, if i am to leave Lagos for London on the 21st December, and if all goes smoothly with the renewal, how long does it take to have the Passport&Visa ready for pick up? *trying to avoid December backlog stories that touch, hence my double checking with you all*
Does 1st week in Dec look ok to submit?

Submit now.
If you're fortunate then no interview, if they do call for interview the backlog for dates is already in 2019 so submit now.

lanrems:
With the recent rate of revocation, I did advice you use your visas first, cos at the interview you might/will be asked why u haven't used it for the earlier stated purpose. It does pinch the vos to revoke visas this days.
You might want to weight your options here, and decide what's best for the family. And if you must go for the interview go with the copy of your visa n not your passport, be smart.
This is my deduction after so much research on happenings at the embassy right now.

You do realise they don't need your passport to revoke your visa

lanrems:
Guy the problem with Nigerian not getting visas lately is all political, my wife paid $3ooo after birth at a Chicago hospital and equally made payment plans for the balance, but on the flight home to Casablanca she met a lady from Sierra lone that claimed she paid nothing as in nothing at the hospital after delivery. Think this supports the Asian theory sited up there.

She used Medicaid of course...that's not new. She knew exactly what she was doing...and she didn't do it alone either. She'd only give your wife one side of the truth.
People had done runs on that for years which is why the crackdown on it.

[quote author=toyeengbemi post=72785339][/quote]You are wrong. Interview after Dropbox has ALWAYS been an option at the discretion of the embassy. That has been on the EMBASSY site since inception of Dropbox a few years ago.

Those discounts are not simply because you are self-pay. A lot of discounts from certain hospitals in some states are such because they are to cater for the UNINSURED legal residents . It's more than likely that's what Atlantic medicals offered you. So although it's self pay on the back end someone or govt is paying for the difference.

Not all discounts are like this for self pay but those with large discounts usually are. Unfortunately most hospitals won't tell you that neither do they know the challenge foreigners on birth tourism have with renewals.
Very little you can do....travel somewhere else


On a side note US HealthCare is ridiculously expensive which is a topic for another day.

The fact that you are bald from birth means any of you kids could be too even if you marry a man with full head of hair

mumzt:
Good day everyone, please if one applied for visa to give birth, used it appropriately and came back. Then after expiry drop box application was done and granted. Does this mean the renewed visa still covers delivery. Because while filling the form, it asked if you're renewing the same type of visa.
I'm just curious, I'm not pregnant just want to know if I'll need to apply for another visa if I want to use my visa for another delivery.

@Ladygunivere, @seyewest, @omobendel24, everyone. Kindly help if you know.

However in filling your ds 160 it asks for purpose of visit and when you intend to travel....so if your intention for the trip you indicated in your application is vacation then that is what is in your record. After you have gone on that intended trip then any subsequent trip should fall under what your B1/B2 visa permits.

In the end it's border patrol that grants entry

seyewest:
I see no reason why they will deny ''Papa'' unless the father did not pass his answer across well... Papa should go ahead with his application.. he's not a travel risk.

Of a truth all Nigerians are flight risks, we are all just on a different rung of the ladder
