I just got ission for spring 2025. Classes start 13 January 2025 and the only visa appointment date I could get before the portal glitch is 16 January 2025 please any advice and I want someone to help me with the interview question and answer, I think my answers are not convincing enough. Thank you.

You can request for expedited date

I've been trying to book a new appointment after denial and I keep getting the error "Duplicate appointment found for this ".
Please does anyone have a fix for this?
I'm using a new DS160 number

Thank you so much for your response.
That means they should approve this coming week by God's Grace. I was actually worried. I also created ticket and called them.
Have you come across anyone they didn't respond to at all after waiting for a month?
Have you also done your interview?

It's been same here too. Abuja or Lagos?

Use this, if it's for Lagos

Good morning everyone, has anyone here ever gotten their visa approved using MPOWER? Your answer would go a long way for me to plan. Because I already got a refusal this year for USA visiting b1/b2.

Yes. You only need to present your case very well to the VO.

It's Lagos
But mine is pending pre-approval request
Do you mean I should use the format you send and attach my visa receipt because I'm yet to get an appointment if my pre-approval request has not been approved

I don't think there is any format for pending pre approval request. However, you can use the format I sent earlier. It will suffice for it also.

But you can chill first, let me do more research.

Does anyone have a better answer? If you do please send

Thank you 🙏

We are so many o. I sent them message on navigator twice but no response. They only responded to the ticket I created and I should wait.
Try and send the message, they might respond to you. I pray Lagos approve us soon. Next week will be exactly 1 month, I've been waiting.

Hello I am a new member of this forum. I recently graduated from UNN with a GPA in 3.4 in Pure and Industrial Chemistry and I am interested in applying for my PhD in Chemistry for Fall 2025. I am preparing to take the GRE test and also searching for some schools online but I am open to receiving any recommendations for schools that offer funding for PhD in Chemistry for Fall 2025. Thank you.

Goodevening everyone. Please i need some guidance. My visa was approved and CEAC site shows issued. Im a bit confused on how to pick up my port now as it seems things have changed recently from how it used to be . I really need guidance urgently please 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hello everyone, i just want to give back to the group as i got immense information from here during my whole visa process. I have picked up my port.
So if youre picking up your port this period, first track the status on CEAC and wait for it to show issued, then proceed to OIS WEBSITE, , select usa visa , then “pick up”, afterwards it will prompt you to enter your port number to confirm if it is ready for pickup. If it is ready, it will show ready for pick up, go ahead and book an appointment still on the OIS website to pick up at OIS OFFICE. Print out the appointment letter and carry to ois office to collect your port.
I didn’t wait for any mail, I didn’t even receive one.

Blackfinegirl:
People are not sharing transcripts again, they just come here to ask how to pick up their approved visa.

For me, I applied via interview waiver for VISA renewal and was issued my J1 VISA some days ago. But I am grateful for the community here and people taking their time to share tips and thoughts et cetera!

Hello.

1. Pre-approval request should not take too long to be approved for F1 visa applicant because the embassy are aware of your resumption dates.

2. However, majority of the F1 visa applicants are making the initial appointment booking processing error. I will recommend you follow the following guidelines in order to avoid a longer or permanent pending pre approval request:

3. If possible , walk in to First bank to make MRV payment physically instead of other payment options. (This does not mean that other options are not valid).

4. Fill the visa application (Ds 160) first and completely submitted before you proceed to avits profile for appointment requests.

5. In the Question, Do you have a specific travel plans (in your Ds 160) , Answer Yes .

6. Print your Form I 20 and sign it before ing it to your avits profile .

7. Be certain to have paid SEVIS fee with Evidence to show.

Any F1 visa applicant who have completed the stated task is the bonafide F1 visa applicant that will be taken serious.

* Cancel your pending request if you are not too certain of the above and reapply.

Sir ,what about those that follow this steps but still on preapproval stage...I even paid sevis fees before the MRV, i ed sign copy of my 1-20 but under have you made specific travel plans I chose NO and i specific the date under intended date of arrival..any suggestions for people like me...my resumption date is 13th January

KingsCollege80s:


Hello.

1. In that case , use your signed I 20, SEVIS payment receipt, ds 160 slip and MRV to send a mail to the embassy under system error (direct email not ticket).

2. Navigate back to few pages here you will see the Lagos and Abuja embassies emails. You should copy [email protected] in the mail.

Ok sir,will do that tomorrow or can I do that now
