Pls how many times are we allowed to check for IW appointments in a day?

Yes. I just collected my port with the Visa now @ Abuja. Collection location has changed to Hafsat Plaza, Beside Churchgate building.

TDH1680:


I already have all these. I checked that a long time ago. Shame that same info isn't even on the Nigerian page. Yours was issued, right? Congrats, again!

For IW can I submit for my parents or they need to be there in person?

Lucky you. Congrats, once again. My parents submitted theirs in Lagos, though. Cheers for the update.

UmmZayd:


There's nothing impossible. You have to keep checking

You can probably use the expediate date to see if you will be approved

My relatives’ application from April 25th just changed to “Issued” about an hour ago.

Remove the space between t. and me. It works. We still need more people to take the time slot.
Try it now or share your slot.

I keep getting the prompt that the link has expired.

If you need an Interview Waiver appointment in Lagos because you qualify, you can the group below.

All the best!!

Hi Amelia, I tried sending you a dm. Please I would like to be added to the telegram group, the links are not working for me either. Thanks.

Hello Nairalanders, I applied for B1/B2 on Ds-160 but my Last name was mistakenly replaced with my First name and vice versa.. Does it mean anything or what can be done in this regards please.

Oh great news! Did it change from "Application Received" to "Issued" or they were on istrative Processing at any point?

istrative Processing.

wuki:


istrative Processing.

Please how long did it take from AP to issued? Apologies for the many questions. Mine just changed to AP today...I have booked a flight for Saturday and want to know whether to cancel it just yet. Thanks

Mine took about 3 or 4 working days

Same here. I literally just checked now. Went from "Application Received" to "istrative Processing". Looks like we might be close to the finish line. Keep me in the loop, and vice versa.

You are hilarious!

Cheers for constantly responding to these questions. Even though, yours is all sorted. Much appreciated!

Good news, and congrats! Cheers for the update!

Can’t timelines. I know that they dropped off April 25th and by May 4 exactly it changed to AP. Don’t if it went to Application Received on the drop off date. Yeah maybe wait till Friday to change your flight. But I suppose even if you were to get approved tomorrow/Thursday, you likely won’t be able to pick up until Monday so sounds like you might proactively be making a change to your travel plans. Good luck

GOODMORNING NL.
Pls is there a need to update one's DS 160 form which was submitted almost a year ago? My family appointment comes up in less than a week and i was wondering if there's a need to update our info and port photographs as some info are outdated. Pls your input is highly welcomed. @shannon70 and other ex consular officers. Thank you.

Some embassies have been waiving the photo change due to the pandemic - I am not sure what the mission in Nigeria has done.

Good morning house how can I track the progress of my port from the embassy after an interview ?

is there a telegram group for getting dates for non IW visa appointments?.. abeg o..i need am

Good day Everyone. I selected Abuja for my interview, but chose V.I Lagos for pickup. I want to ask if it’s possible to get it over here in Abuja or I have to collect it mandatorily in Lagos. Thanks everyone
