Goodmorning Guys. Please i urgently need this information. I reside in the US and i am trying to invite some people over for an event. The rumour i am hearing is that there are no appointment dates left in 2018 at any of the US embassy in Nigeria. Please how true is that?

Your answer will be very helpful


Thanks

Yes it's true, Visiting visa you need to apply like 6 months ahead or request for emergency date if they meet requirements for it

Is anybody facing the same problem?

If you clicked that you have been refused visa before you won't see date until when they decided to show you date

YoungTesla:
Had my interview yesterday July 19, was placed on AP but my status changed to issued this afternoon.

Will the consulate send me a mail regarding when and where to pick my passport?

Pardon me progressives, I go post my comprehensive Transcript the moment my hand don touch my PP, my Village people strong.

Yes expect their email.

Deal with your village people, confront them and stop running from them if not they will catch you up

mikol:
My cousin was denied a visa this morning and he will like to reschedule for an emergency appointment since his school starts orientation for international students on the 6th while the main program starts on the 15th August. Can anyone please tell me how he can go about rescheduling an emergency appointment?.

Based on the new rule is he cant apply until after some minutes unless if he is lucky and he didn't come across that question

Oegbeyem:
Wanted to reapply after denial on July 18th cos I saw August 4th available on cgi site, then I was asked if I have taken an interview in the last two months and then I saw no available dates. Can someone help me explain this?

If you lied about that answer, the next interview you will be denied and can put you into an issue because it was stated in that question.

haywhizzy21:
Bro,,i need you to reply your mail please.

Ramon92:
Hello house, my interview was scheduled for July 30 but I got a mail it's been rescheduled for August 4th, which is a Saturday.

Does the embassy open or work on Saturdays? And who else got rescheduled?

Thanks

For you to get that email for reschedule that means there is public holiday on that day and US embassy wont open so they open 4th August as alternative

akom0908:
pls house I have an emergency issue,my interview is tomorrow morning,just discovered my picture is not on my ds160...what can I do?I uploaded it when I was filling my ds160.

Just go there tomorrow with the passport photograph and is likely you will be sent back and they give second chance and you will be advised on what to do next so that your visa fee wont be a waste

biikeys:
At a time it used to be along the lines of faculty to student ratio, now it's 'extensive research...'. They know. Some of them even come here and can easily pinpoint you with your 'proposed transcripts' Nothing sounds more genuine than actually thinking deeply about why you are applying to a school and then finding a proper and convincing way to communicate this to the VO.

lol..

Those VO have heard and listened to enough remix on this..

MyAmericandream:
Hi walspring, I learnt one can only pay for WES with a GT B card? I ve been trying to use my diamond card but to no avail.

If your card is activated for online payment it will work

mcafeez:
Hello everyone, I was at the embassy this morning and I need to share my transcript eventhough I was placed on AP by the nice guy at Window10 or so...

I was the 5th person to be attended to, overall. While I was the first to be attended to by the guy VO, he also uses earpiece too (cause i noticed someone said one VO use earpiece). Before I continue, let me use this opportunity to encourage those who are waiting for their interviews. Please let us all appreciate the value of this thread. if not, lots of us would have lost it in interviews. And in additional, someone on this thread has shared/warned us about these tout people at the car park arena, they have nothing to offer u except collecting ur money for unnecessary document arrangement and photocopies.....U don't need it, anything u need to arrange would be announced by the people working for the embassy when you are on screening queue. These touts even rent chairs for people to sit at the rate of 200naira, a friend who was waiting for me alerted me.. Pls let's take note...

Hello people

Had my F1 visa interview today in Lagos (with my wife- F2 visa) and both were approved.

Not sure i have posted on this topic. busy schedules at work, but i tried to read lots of pages here within the past few weeks and i admit i got many useful tips. All of the questions asked have repeatedly featured on this forum. Many thanks to who started this.

i know its part of the house norms to post transcripts so i must do that. but let me relax a little. my head is still banging from the short overnight sleep and increased heart beat for a larger part of the day.

I will edit this shortly but before that, many thanks to walspring, he helped with my sevis payment when many of my padi in yankee were forming busy for me. Doubted the dude first sha ooo but i use one mind carry am.

Good luck to all other applicants.

To God be the glory.
