Thanks so much. I am RN here. My mum did thyroidectomy last 2 years and still disturbing her. I don’t know if I should use this method seriously

Hey 🤠

1. Yes you can use the method . Talk to a doctor in the US and let your family in Nigeria find a doctor in Nigeria who will refer her . I don't want to reveal lot of info here because of space . Both Nigeria doctor and US doctor must agreed on same .

2. If everything work accordingly between both hospitals , then your must will fall under medical emergency and this must be stated in her DS 160.

Best Wishes 🙏

Thanks for this sir. I applied in 2022 but I got 2024 march which is next week, now I'm seeing on Google that my ds 160 form expires after one year and mine is more than 2 years, will I not forfeit my payment if I fill another form because my receipt has expired and I also don't want to be turned back for expired ds160 from. Please help me with advice on what to do

Hey 🤠

1. All glory to God. After the 1st booking you have the opportunity to reschedule once after which your last resort would be to apply for the emergency appointment .

2. Don't rush , keep using your present reschedule option to check for nearer dates but if you are in a haste or want to keep to a specific timeframe then you have to apply for the emergency Appointment.

3. If the emergency Appointment is denied . You will be stuck and have to wait till the last date you were given before you apply for the Emergency Appointment because reschedule and emergency options would disappear from your portal .

Is this a new development coz I learnt that if a first schedule appointment didn't work, you can apply for emergency and if it was denied the "Reschedule tab" will be use for normal date search. Have they changed it now? Coz i know someone that his EA was denied and he's now searching for date with the normal reschedule option

Fill another form and update the form number on your portal.

Thanks,I have filled another one butcan I still update it because my mrv receipt has expired. Hope I won't be asked to pay another money if I change my ds 160 number?

Please can you post the customer care number I can call? Thanks

nuttycaptain:
I don't think this is much of an issue. If you received a mail from them stating that your appointment has been rescheduled, just show up for the appointment on the new date with the original MRV payment receipt. You can try calling the customer care office to confirm your new appointment date

cutelass:


I’d say wait till you get it but just to be on the safe side, book the next Friday not 8th (it would definitely have come then).

They want to know why you stayed long, be ready to justify your stay.

I gave birth so they asked for receipts of the medicals and carefully went through.

That next and upper Friday is gone, April 12 forward is what is showing, I really wish to make it this March, should I wait maybe they can still open up or I should just go next Friday or pick the April but I doubt I can change it again thank you

Nope. You are good to go As long as you booked your appointment before it expired.

Dear all
Good day. Please i need your imput. I applied for sponsorship to attend an international workshop in the US and the sponsorship was approved for just the registration which is over a 1000 us dollars and i was sent a letter of invitation. My challenge is the event is april 2024. Can i apply for expedite appointment, will be granted. The conference is important to the advancement in my career as it has to do with Women and HIV. I currently work in a reputable NGO and they are ready to me witg the neccesary documents. Due to the high visa fee, i am a bit skeptical .
NB: i have been denied twice for us visa application . Any suggestions will be appreciate. Thank you

I just saw this information in my email.

I hope I am not missing something here.

They talked about the possibility that my MRV fee might have expired. Was is that suppose to mean?

How do I know if my DS-160 confirmation number is still the same as the one one the confirmation letter? 🤦🏼‍♂️

Good morning

Not sure I still the number. It's been over a year since this happened.

Quick search on google gave the details below. You can try though.

Hey 🤠

1. In the United States, Au pair (nanny) rules does not give you the authority to hire a family member as a nanny .

2. In that case you have to chose the appropriate section that apply to normal parental visiting . You are revealing your intention at the 11th hour . May God help you .


*** Thanks @justwise .

Rutherford2019:


Hmm
What will she tell them?
My wife delivered through CS and she needs some help urgently

First never mention omugwo as trip plan. She will be denied!!!
She can only apply for visit, unfortunately she is not qualified for expedited visa application. She can only apply for regular appointment. Dates are as far as 2025 now.

You guys have to wing it for now. She should look for Nigerian nannies there to help out.

Hey 🤠

1. The first and second messages you received are the same . The summary is that your appointment is still intact but you must not cancel or miss it otherwise you will have to buy another visa fee (MRV ).

2. Another important thing the embassy is singing to your ears is that your DS 160 confirmation number must be the same DS 160 confirmation number inside your visa appointment confirmation.

3. The embassy forsee that you actually might need to fill another DS 160 because your circumstances might have changed ..Therefore (if you have filled another DS 160) you must update it in your CGI profile .

4. Print out your DS 160 confirmation page and look at the confirmation number which starts from AAA... Also print out your visa appointment confirmation slip and check if the same DS 160 confirmation displays on it . If both are same then you are good to go .

Hey 🤠

1. Qualification for Visa emergency appointment at the USA embassy falls under 3 categories Viz ;. Student ... Business ..and Medical .

2. Let's say you fall under Business category , you still have to meet certain conditions. And one of the conditions is that your attendance in the conference must be very very relevant to the conference organizers .

3. The relevance of the conference to you does not matter , but the relevant of your attendance matters . For example , Are you one of the speakers in the conference ? Will they continue the conference if you did not get the visa ? Are they going to lose certain amount of financial gains if you did not attend ? Etc .

4. If you want to meet the above requirements , let the conference organizers state it in your invitation letter and use the letter to apply for your emergency Appointment.

Best Wishes 🙏

Good morning all.

Is it good to combine more than one good reason during a USA interview?

My primary motivation stems from the critical health condition of my father, currently residing at my sister's residence, where my dad has been in a coma for several weeks. Although he is now in the process of recovery, I am compelled to visit him as we believe that my presence will contribute significantly to his emotional well-being, thereby expediting his recuperation.

Furthermore, I plan to accompany my visit with the necessary documentation, including the hospital medical report from the US hospital and, if possible, an invitation report from my sister.


Also, I have a couple of other programs with evidence; like Birthday party invitations and business conferences, including seeking a good hospital to take care of my wife's leg, who has a knee fracture. All the above are with evidence.


House I wouldn't know if the above is a good present and reasonable to the VO during my interview coming up soonest

Must I a photo during my USA visa application?

Rutherford2019:

Yes a port picture.

All valid reasons. You also need to have strong funding for your wife's medical care. If not don't mention it.

Any tips on get port picture to meet ICAO standard
I'm doing application for a relative and I'm still getting head tilt error.

The relative is elderly so trying to get them to go to a studio to do this is kinda hard besides it doesn't guarantee I won't have the same issue so I want to work with the photo I have

You don't have an option. Studio pic is usually better. Then you compress and .

Please can someone submit a port for someone for Dropbox? My parents are due, and the last time, my mum submitted for my Dad as we had him under a dependent as her and booked the same appointment for them. But with the new process, you can’t have a dependent to qualify for an Interview waiver. Not sure if the same applies now. Thank you

Thanks for your prompt response I appreciate I have already told the organizers to send the invitation letter and a letter to the embassy stating the above you mentioned. Hopefully any positive response, then I will proceed to applying

Good day house. Please I would apprecaite

Myself and my husband have a 2 years visa which would expire 20th of March 2024 thi i our secind renewal. We were looking for date for my daughter ho doesnot ve any Isues Visa hence d last minutes decision for myself and my husband to go. because due to covid year, we were unable to use our second US issued visa so it expired. So we thinking on going to D US nd spending even if its few days and get back after the 20th of March . Bear in mind our visa expires 20th if March. So our worry Is would there be any negative impact on our Vis renewal if we return back to Nigeria few days after our visa expires . We intend spending just 10days. I would appreciate s. Thank you.

Make sure you touch down U.S. soil before the 20th if not you’ll be turned back. To be safe get there 19th to avoid stories. Officer will let you in at his or her discretion for the 6 months per usual. Getting back after your visa has expired if you were legally let in by the cbp officer carries no consequences. My visa expired a few weeks after I got in the last time and I renewed when I arrived without issues.
The U.S. rule is don’t exceed the number of days you were stamped in for at the border.

Uk rule is leave before your visa expires.

Hi, please what did you eventually do. I can’t find a date even with emergency visa approved.

I sincerely plead your urgent response!
I have been trying to request an emergency appointment with my new MRV receipt number, but whenever I enter my tentative travel date of 4/15/24, it generates an error message "Tentative Travel Date: Invalid Date," and when I click to submit the emergency request, it shows another error message, "Emergency Request cannot be submitted at this time; please wait."

Please, what could be the reason? I need help! Someone should explain to me what is wrong. Thanks.

center closes by 5pm Nigerian time so it’s best to call them because they’re in the best position to advise on the next step

cutelass:
If you are for Dropbox and you don’t reside in Lagos, then consider using Abuja cos it’s faster. Here’s my timeline:

submitted ds-160 29/01/24
Request to schedule interview waiver approved in hours.
Scheduled IW on 30/01/24 for 06/02/24
Dropped off port in DHL 06/02/24
Application received on CEAC status 07/02/24
Updated on 12/02/24 to Refused
Date to schedule 221g was already loaded on portal but I waited to get port first
port picked from DHL outside Abuja 15/02/24
Scheduled 221g on 15/02/24 for 23/02/24 (because they take 221g’s only on Friday) so picked the next friday
221g interview on 23/02/24 (Approved)
port back in my town 28/02/24.
