They can if they want to — but you should file a ticket before you go for your interview to merge old and new together.

What I'm trying to ask is which one will the officer see and interview me with?

Good morning everyone

Please I want to ask, if one updates the DS 160 due to some mistakes and resubmit.

Will the visa officer have access to the old DS160 or information on the day of interview?

Guys, if one is asked how many schools did you apply to and the honest answer is 1, will it affect the interview?

Please, I need urgent help. I generated my U.S. visa payment slip (J1 visa) on Friday, May 9, 2025, but couldn’t pay due to bank network issues. The slip expired on yesterday, May 12. Now it’s May 13, and I still can’t generate a new payment slip — the old reference number is still showing on my profile.

Has anyone experienced this before? How long did it take for the system to clear the expired CGI number? Is there any workaround or should I just keep waiting? I’ve also contacted support but no reply yet.

Morning Ify.
Pre approval is a waiting game . If it's taking too long (more than 48hrs) that means you might have omitted some rules. Did you sign and date your I 20 ? Did you fill and submitted Ds 160? I do also hope you have paid sevis fee ?

** F1 pre-approval and expedite request are review by human eyes (not random by computer) so if your application is not completed you will be push aside until they round off with obedient applicants.

Use your I -20 & SEVIS payment and the screenshot of the pre approval to send " profile error message to the embassy. 👍

Please for j1 visa.

I'm about to make payment

Am I going to submit my ds-2019 at any point?

Or I should just sign and keep till I go for interview

Your question is like a puzzle going forth 'n back. But what i can summarise is that your MRV payment was very likely not able to be confirmed by the embassy even after you must have booked an appointment.

This happens especially if you do card payment or transfer. Some card can be successful but retracted and some transfer might not get to the embassy while the account owner is debited.

Hence my only choice of payment is physical bank deposit.

NOTE.
1. Fill another ds 160 and submit at a go, don't fill it half way
2. Pick the embassy location you have chosen in your ds 160 as your interview post.
3. Go and pay mrv physically in the bank.
4. Pay your SEVIS fee
5. Sign and date your I 20. 👍

pls when you say fill ds160 at a go...do you mean fill and submit in one sitting before creating avits profile?

Please when can one request for emergency appointment? Is is 60days to start of program or 90 days?

Please guys, can I use someone else card details to pay for my visa application fee?

Please guys, can I use someone else card details to pay for my visa application fee?

Guys, please I am currently filling my ds160

Please is it only jobs I did after my undergraduate degree that counts as work experience for DS160 or I can use work I did as during ASUU strikes as a student and the SIWES internship during my 400 level.

Please I need urgent answers
