Please does anyone know if a transit visa is required when flying through France to UK using Airfrance (student Evisa) and if anyone has flown recently?

Your mother's duration of stay on a particular entry is still going to be determined by the CBP officer at the port of entry. Your mother will be asked very quick few questions and that will determined the range from few days to a maximum of 6- month (I-94 permission).

** The maximum reasonable duration of stay per each entry for a B1/B2 visa holder is 3- months (even when you have six months of grace to stay) otherwise, such visitor would face rigorous query upon next trip, and continuation of longer stay per trip might jeopardize the smooth renewal of your current visa.

** Your mother's 80 days is okay. 👍

Hello Mighty.

I have not read that Punch or national news but the last one I read on the US official gazette did not include Nigeria . Although President Trump is still speculating and i don't think he has any faint reason to include Nigeria .

Thank you for the update sir. 👍

NBako:
Hello , I have just checked mine it says refused. I was hoping to get 212g but I’m not shocked at this,
Having had a baby in 2022.

Congratulations to all that were approved

Lekan2348:
Teju, we've been waiitng for your own approval story since you last said you were expecting yours. You never updated us. please when did you submit and when did your approval arrive

JohnZak:
I pray that you find favor!!

JohnZak:
Piggybacking on what @cashmadam and others have said. You should have included a letter from her Nigerian ophthalmologist and another from an American ophthalmologist describing her condition his planned clinical management, admission length, and correspondence between the Nigerian and American surgeons etc. Another letter from the hospital with a cost estimate as well and Obviously proof that you can afford the care. Ophthalmic surgeries are very expensive even with insurance. VO was probably worried about these issues especially after three prior surgeries.

Might be best to abandon the medical care route and focus on tourism as a reason. However the current denial can even complicate this.

Consultvenek:
Chances of this is so slim so I will not advise you take this route if you still would love to visit the states in the future. If you want to give birth try Brazil or Mexico.
Safe delivery to you in advance.

I didn't know you could write to them, what email please

Hello Alex.
Your friend's dad submitted (or gambled) renewal application as a qualified IW applicant when he naturally did not qualified.

He is likely going to start afresh by submitting a new ds-160 , pay another visa fee, and apply as a normal visa applicant (physical appearance). 👍

Efetobore1980:
Hello Teju.
How were you eventually approved since you received same letter? because that letter said the applicant's documents have been returned. Did they return yours too ? Did you pay another visa fee ? How did you find yourself back to the embassy? Automatic reschedule appointment? Pls clarify for the good of the public. 👍

Alexie89:
Hello,
A friends dad got this, please what's the next step and how to go about it.
Thank you in advance...

Hi guys, I am just providing an update on my visa to give hope to those who are still waiting. I submitted my passport for renewal on the 3rd of April and here is my timeline.

Submitted: April 3rd
App received: April 8th
Refused status: April 22nd
Administrative processing: May 6th
Approved: May 6th (no interview, I was praying to God everyday to change my refused to approved and he Delivered!!)
Issued: May 7th
Current status: Waiting for pick up mail

Overall, it took a little over a month to get here and I am sharing so those of you still waiting can have an idea of the current timeline for IW. Keep your faith and keep praying and It will surely come out!

mhizzcherry:
Hello, I am inviting my mum to the US to for delayed omugwo(baby already born), she was denied the first time when I was pregnant and she has a date to go again, she told them she was coming to visit me and be there for the birth of her grand child. Now that my baby has been born, what should she say because she obviously can't say she is coming as nanny. I am a permanent resident and my husband is a citizen

Donmatlock:
How do you just determine it's not true and a fallacy. There is some truth to it. DoGE has been cutting down staff and agencies to reduce cost and embassies & consulates included. It could be one of the challenges at the Lagos consulate.

Antonio Rubio and D. Trump do not care about repercussions. They are focused on America first and don't care if it takes non-Americans a year to get visa infact they will like you not to come.

USAID and VOA staff are currently unemployed. So, do not cancel an opinion when you are not 100% sure.

Let's us just praying for favour when it gets to our turn. Shikenan!

Thank you oo.. if they are laying people off and cutting staff who is America. People that have been for interview in recent times said they were just 2-3 visa officers

Efetobore1980:
Teju.
It's not true , it's a fallacy.
For U.S embassy to reduce it's staffs is going to be a complex process and it must have diplomatic repercussions. Besides, the number of staffs is determined by the U.S government.

** Nigeria is the most populous black country in the world. We need more staffs . They cannot reduce staffs. 👍

NotsonewMary:
This is becoming something else.
Does anyone have an idea what might be causing the delay?

Cc: NBako, Gbol123

NotsonewMary:
Hi Gbol’
Have you received any update on your application?

Taal17:
Ask this in the US visit visa thread.

It could be the appointment date is for you to drop off your passport at OIS or it might be in person interview.

Interview waiver is still on however it doesn't mean you can't be called in for an in person interview

You don't mean it, Nigeria will burn because a senator is arrested.You mean jobless Nigerians in abroad.

mohbadliveson:
Nigeria Will burn if that woman is arrested. Many Nigerians abroad are ready to come home and support her

NoToPile:
What's all the huffing and puffing about gan. Everyone who has ever passed through nysc knows what she did is against the nysc rules.

If there's a penalty for it, if they want to they can penalize her.

Whether she is saying the truth or not is another thing entirely point is she broke the rules.

She now came to social media to say it ,

VinnyBaba:
Nice one from Peter Obi.

Learn how to Press the Necks of Tinibu and his Dingbats supporters.

Dat's how he and ACN Rogues back then NEVER gave Goodluck Jonathan any Breathing space.

Now, he doesn't want to be Criticized.

A Terrible and Incompetent President Truly.

Is a bag of rice N12k. How much was it during GEJ's tenure?

mynd1:
My problem with you Yoruba's is, you guys are so shameless and hypocrites. This same EL Rufai you guys are insulting up and down fought his own people because of Asiwaju. He single handed stood for Tinubu against Buhari cabals. Do you think Tinubu stand a chance during 2023 Election if not because of people like Mallam El Rufai?
