Good afternoon everyone, please I have an appointment for IW on the 22nd of February, do I need to drop my documents myself?

after submission of IW on average how long does it take to receive the visa?

please which of the locations did you go for your appointment? London, Scotland or Nothern ireland?

hadigun:


Not hard.

I applied for a visiting visa alongside my family in December 2022. Got appointment date for January 6, 2023. VISA APPROVED with no document requested. Grace followed me sha. I’m on a student visa in the Uk. Though I’ve finished studying but my BRP is still valid. For another 2months.

Go to the US site. Apply and include a genuine purpose for travelling. Get a date for appointment and get in touch. I might help

Mine too 5 days

If you apply for interview waiver and they say you should book appointment how do you go about getting a date?

Hello everyone

My B1/B2 visa expired in November 2018, I applied for IW in January 2023, my request was granted and I'm scheduled for dropbox next month. An agent said my application might not be collected because my visa expired over 48 months ago. Please is this true.

Can a visitor in the UK on a tourist visa apply for a US visa while they are there on holiday?

Not as a visitor. Student Visa, Yes.

US embassy London website says I can. Looking for anyone who has done this before

Hi everyone.

I was refused a visa in 2021 and I lost my US student visa refusal letter. It is required for a student visa application I’m making to the UK, I was given a conditional offer to the school pending when I send the letter across. I have explained in a letter that I have lost the letter and stated the reason for my denial (home ties), but they’re still insisting on the letter, what do I do please?

cheras1:



Please I guess you have done yours. Please can you direct us

I didn't do anything, God smiled on me and I randomly looked and they had opened up some interview spaces in February. So i ended up doing it on February 10. Funny enough another family member had applied in early january and got March. So I actually got to submit before them.

Anyway last time I looked on the ustraveldocs site, they said it's 1 day appointment wait time, so go and check.

Thank you

Weird request

badBADbichh:


That's a question I'd been pondering as well, cos I'm sure there's only a handful of places you'd need US transit visa to get to. Can't even think of any right now.

visit the U.S.A embassy and wait for the people that's going for an interview to receive thier results. Beg Anybody refused under the 214B blue paper to please help you with the slip, nobody is refused with thier name on it. Send the document to the School that's requesting it.

The website says it is always better to apply from your home country but you can apply from outside your home country. I have witnessed instances where the decisions went both ways. My cousin who was on a visit to the UK successfully applied for a B1/B2 visa while in the UK about six years ago. When I was renewing my F1 student visa in Canada the first time, I saw an older Iranian couple visiting their daughter in Canada successfully get a B1/B2 visa. The second time I renewed my student visa, also in Canada, the consular officer refused the BI/B2 visa application of an Indian guy who was on a Canadian visitor visa. He was told to apply from India. I guess the decision is a toss up. Good luck!

Good Morning House,

I have a valid USA visa and want to apply for my infant son. Will this be a drop box? Also I will like to get a date for my husband to make his application while I Stand in for my son.
Lastly I want to renew my older kid USA port. How do I marry all this request to one date as we don't live in Lagos.

Sumone help me on how to go about this.

Hi, good day

My port expires August next year, and I was told USA gives 2 years for the visit visa, my interview date is in may, I wanted to find out if my port will still be stamped with two years or less?

They won’t issue a visa on a port with less than 6 months validity. Try to renew your port before your interview and go with both(old&new).

It will be stamped for 2 years. You can use a valid visa inside an expired port, provided that you have applied for a valid port when you want to travel. You will be required to present the expired and valid port at the point of entry.

my port still has over 1 year validity from the date of the interview but not up to two years, that is the reason I asked, it is not less than 6 months

Then you’re covered, you get your two years. When you renew and the visa is still valid on the other port, you travel with both and that’s all.
Sorry I read this as august this year not next year.

Thank you
