kilode banned , how now .... she can reapply and explain

Lolz..thats not how it works.
She had already applied and was denied..where she tried explaining...

Even though one cud be stamped in for 6months, staying over 3months is a red flag...and wud need some explanation to convince the vo, she stayed about 16months total...
Covid started march 2020, her 6months visa entry stamp ended jan 2020.so she cant use covid as excuse, as she came home October 2020.
Even in the midst of COVID, people still came home via the us and naija govt ethiopian airlines covid evacuation flights....so her overstay is indefensible.
She can however pray and hope on luck..and continue reapplying...she gat nothing to loose, but her visa fee


To be honest, her explanation is very weak....the US is firm on over stayers...3yrs standard ban, 10yrs ban for misrepresentation...
Twoods is spot on with his analysis..

Check you junk/spam mails, the reset email might be there

Good day, thanks for your response. I have been going through the same thing for almost three weeks now. I have chatted with the center about eight times, and they keep promising to send me the link, but I never get it. I check the junk mail and all. The last time I was told they would escalate it and I should get a response in 48 hours, that was a week ago. I do not know what else to do; it's like I am just locked out of my .

Hello all,

Kindly guide me on the steps to take.

I was to attend a conference in 2024 but the DS-160 B1/B2 visa interview date I got was February 2025 on the defunct portal.
I have now applied for another 2025 conference.
I already log on to the new portal successfully but I don’t know how to edit or update my details to reflect new conference realities and other changes.
For instance, I would have to erase the former conference details, s, city, dates, etc and fill in the new conference details. I seems not to find those menus on the new site or I don’t know how to navigate all that steps.
FACT is: My previous allotted visa interview date is still captured on the new portal. I seems not to be able to sight any of my records tho. But there is button for rescheduling

Kindly guide me on the steps to navigate the new portal: www.usvisaappt.com
I don’t want to make any mistake. Please guide.

Thank you
8bliss

Hi dear please how did you resolve this issue cause I’m facing the same thing right now.
Hi everyone,
Pls I wanted to ask what ‘pre approval request is being processed’ means after paying for the visa fee. Also, how long does it typically take until the pre approval request is approved. Thank you!

I am having the same experience with accessing my . My expired last week Sunday, November 3rd, and since then i have been unable to to my .

Calls/chats with the have not yielded much as they say is a reset link has been sent to my mail but there is no link. Please does anyone have an idea on how to progress from this issue??

Is there an email, phone number or address that applicants can escalate to because i doubt that the team would prioritize this issue.

Hello, please how are you able to chat with customer service? I have raised 4 tickets with mo response. I'm at my wits end.

Thank you.

whiteMandingo:


OK, hv gootten tru to them, seems the vpn settings on my network was ,essing with the chat page. from my chat with them, i can deduce, they are likely overwhelmed with tickets, and ing them hastens their response to your ticket

AAO - payment 29th October, Not yet resolved

OKA- Payment 1st September, Not yet resolved

OmoOtuabagi:



What about the visa fee I paid?
There should be cancel pending appointment request in your amentum profile , if there is then click it and cancel, all of the information you filled would be gone then you start all over.

If you are applying for F1 visa you have to sign your I 20 form before you . You must also have filled and submitted your ds 160 form before you start the appointment request.

OmoOtuabagi:


As a retiree, the consular will fear that she might want to go and retire finally to America so you need to create ties or activities for her in Nigeria .

Eg, her husband, children and grand children, she is an active elder in the church or mosque, she just opened a big hypermarket and she is the acting CEO. She is the secretary of her employer retirees pension payment department, etc.

The last part is, she should be able to communicate her activities with the consular . Some of her ties should be well indicated in the form ds 160. She may not have time to talk much so ds 160 will say the rest.

This ds 160 form really restricts one, where in the form can one really show strong ties, no place for additional information, no place even askes how many kids you have or if you have kids, only parents information and spouse.
Asides work information or business, how do you prove strong ties on ds 160

OmoOtuabagi:


@8bliss.

All you need to do is fill a new ds form 160 with your current information, eg conference date, travel date , accomodation etc and upon successful submission, take both old and new ds form 160 to your visa interview. If you want to reschedule, make sure you finished rescheduling before filling a new ds 160 so that the information in the new ds 160 will entail your most current info.

The edit or update option is not yet available on the new avits portal and i don't think it is going to be available again.

@OmoOtuabagi

Thank you for your reply and guidance.
There are three menus on my dashboard on the new portal, usvisaappt.

CREATE NEW
VIEW DETAILS
NEW APPLICATION

which one of the route will i use to fill the new ds form 160 that will capture my current information

[quote author=OmoOtuabagi post=132825069]

Thank you so much but there is no cancellation option for me there🥹. What do I do? Have you faced something like this before

OmoOtuabagi:


@Seebill.

to your ed email. Then go to avits and click , it will ask for your email. After waiting a while and the reset link is not sent into your email keep repeating same procedure withing 10 minutes interval, the link will eventually drop, some time with many reset links at a go, just click on one and that's all.

Please how many times do i need to keep repeating this? Because i have been doing this for the last 2 hours and there is still no link in my emails inbox or spam

Zebaby89:


They can’t be different.Pick dates that’s match .Before you could just use your ois appointment date ,but now ois seems to want ppl to come on the dates they picked on avits.

Hello,

Please I'm confused about this new website and all the new . What is the ois website and does it mean I can pick the consulate date and then go and select a date on this website as you guys mentioned.

Thanks for your reply

Hello, please help
My mum submitted her port for dropbox at abuja US embassy, but she got a refusal under 221g and requested to schedule an in person interview which we did, but on the date of interview they didnt allow her go in cos they said her name was not on the list despite having the interview confirmation letter. Now i am trying to schedule another appointment for her on the AVITS website but i keep getting "Duplicate applicant error".

can someone please tell me what to do

hello, thank you so much for the response
she didnt miss her appointment, but the scheduling was done on the old portal.
which i didnt know required profile migration.
please what is the number to call the embassy.

OmoOtuabagi:


@SeunOla2024.

Your mum probably missed her initial post 221g appointment hence she was turned back or she did not follow the demand of the 221g slip accordingly.

If your mum had performed all her scheduling activities through the old portal , she should have requested for profile migration into the new avits portal by creating ticket, and waiting for migration email.

If she had performed all her scheduling activities on the new portal , all she have to do is wait till the dashboard displays Create New Appointment.

As it stands, you have created an illegal profile for her in order to make another quick appointment hence the current display of : Duplicate Profile.

Open a ticket or call the embassy so that they will help you to delete one of the profiles.

I made a mistake by my ds160 instead of my form 1-20, pls how do i rectify this? I think that’s why my page has been on preapproval request? Any help f1 visa
