Hi, please is there a fee to be paid for gcms note?

Hello, i was guided here on how to get the GCMS note and i was not charged for it , but I only submitted it yesterday and i have gotten the confirmation email, i guess i would have to wait and see if it went through. But no i was not charged

🤠

1. In order word, you wanted to play trial n error but the computer played a fast one on you and " gbam ! you were booked for October, 2025 😀

2. Anyways, you can keep using the reschedule option to see if you will be able to pick your desired date , or probably use the emergency option if need be.

3.. As for the DS-160, yes you can fill a new one in order to correspond or align with any date you are eventually given, and i think there is going to be the " Update profile " option where you will be able to update it in the new website as the new update is still ongoing.

PS: Let's assume the update profile option is not available when going for your interview, then all you have to do is attend your interview with both old and new DS-160s.


🙏

Thank you so much for this God bless you , i was getting really worried . I totally understand now

mblarry1:

This is my first time applying for a US visa and i have made payment on the new platform and i have been looking for a date as my travel time is next yr march . But sadly each time i click on a recent date i get the something went wrong error message . This morning i opened to check if any date was up and i saw a date in oct 2025 and i just click to see if the error will come up and behold i was booked for oct 2025. Now i am confused because my DS160 form filled states i will be travelling in march of 2025 , please i will like to know if i can fill another form assuming i do not get a sooner date before march and if i fill a new form how do i update it in my existing interview date schedule. I am so confused please some one advise me on what to do . thanks

Jeboy:
Most likely your agent will have the key information like email, mobile number etc that is required for processing gcms note. Reason we advise DIY.

Yes, I understand and agree. So, since I used an agent, I cannot apply for a GCMS, not myself? I have the details used for the application as the agent already gave me access to view the application. The reason I want to request the note is because I have applied since Nov last year, so I want to know the detailed update on the application. Kindly assist with the website you used. thanks

Jeboy:
Pls all the experience guys here I need your help.



What does it mean for one Eligibility to be 'recommend Interview' under ASSESSMENT on gcms note. Pls guru in the house

@kurukuru
@Bobomaigida
@Duchess102
@affoncad
@Ashirioluwa
@uchennay

Good morning, please i would like to request my GCMS note for on ongoing visa application and I wanted to ask what website you used and also where you asked to fill out a consent form. If you were asked to fill out a consent form what details did you input for designated representative information( your details and address here in Nigeria or your agent details, that is if you used an agent, in my case I used an agent but I want to apply for the note myself ), Kindly advise as I have never applied for a GCMS before so I do not want to make any mistakes. Thanks

Jeboy:
Yes you can request for your gcms note for an ongoing application to see the current status or notes from the visa officers.

Thanks

Debbieeeeeee:
@Jeboy it means a senior officer needs to review the file before a final decision.
Cases like this usually take time to decide from what I gathered from someone currently in the same situation.

Good evening, Please does this mean you can request a GCMS note on an ongoing application to find out more details about your application? Please advise thanks a lot

mblarry1:
Bro, please when did you apply for the visa, cus mine is still pending since last yr November.
Please share with me.
Thanks

Good day

Please kindly confirm if you have gotten any response from IRCC as i too applied in Nov last year and i have not gotten any response from them. My agent has even granted me access to track my application myself and she is telling the truth when she says she has not heard from them. I am getting really worried now because every body who applied after me has gotten either approval or refusal.

Pumpyjay:
I got sent the link for the new website yesterday, logged in this morning and theres available date of Sept 24th 2024.

Good morning

Please have you been able to book the sep 24th date seen ? And this is for lagos right ?

Thanks

🤠

1. The customer staffs want you to go to the embassy with completed credentials, that was why they told you that you cannot use it. You can actually use it , and you will be interviewed, but at the same time ,
if you don't have a very genuine reason, a hard-line consular officer can turn you back as an irresponsible VISA applicant.

2. Go and fill another DS-160. You are not making any payment. You can fill DS-160 as many time as you want to add or remove an information.


Thank you so much for this , i did not know i can fill another DS-160 form and not make any additional payment . thank you .
🙏

Highzhikk:
I found this somewhere on their website.
Everything with US embassy is confusing

I am so confused

Highzhikk:
Hi everyone,
I filled the DS160 and selected Lagos as the interview location, but when I went to the new appointment website, lagos was not working as it was say "something went wrong try later". I tried to see if its the same for Abuja and I clicked a date in Abuja now they have scheduled me for Abuja. I am unable to see where to put new Abuja DS160 Barcode number..

My question is can I use the DS160 for Lagos to interview in Abuja?

Good day,

I just reached out to customer and asked them the same questions as this is my first time so I am really confused. They replied that I could not fill a DS160 form in Lagos and interview in Abuja and that I would have to start the process all over again and pick Abuja from the start if I wanted to do that. Now I do not know if that means filling out another form alone or it means making another visa payment, my network acted up and I lost connection with them, maybe someone can assist with that here, please.

So i do not think you can interview in abuja if your form was filled for lagos .

FavouredMiriam:
Not yet... Have you been able to book?

No, I have not been able to book, there are no dates on my portal.

FavouredMiriam:
Same here. Let's keep trying. Hopefully, they will resolve the issue soonest.

Good morning, have you been able to get a booking, I am still getting the error message, and all the booking dates are gone. I am sure they are still working on it and hopefully, all will be okay and we will be able to book our dates.

Shueld06:


Sorry for troubling you again, is there anywhere to add dependent when u have access to the booking system?

Good morning, no I do not think you can book an appointment as a group you have to book individually, i did not see the option to add dependants. I am not traveling with dependants so please when you get on the platform kindly read through and be sure you do not have that option but for me, i did not have the option to add . Thanks

FavouredMiriam:
Most of those dates are not available again. I guess they are still working on the website so we have to keep checking. I will let you know when I am able to reschedule. Kindly do so too. Thank you

Yes i just noticed as well and i agree i am sure they are working on it. I will surely let you know if/when i can book thanks a lot

Shueld06:


What’s the time it’s bringing now?

Its bringing up 8.30 am and some days 7.15 am and some days 8.45 am. On the date I want it is 8.30 am but still not booked yet. I am sure they are working on it .

FavouredMiriam:
Okay. I definitely will.

It no longer shows 12am but i still cannot proceed still getting the error message, kindly confirm if you can book thanks

Shueld06:


What mode of payment did u use? Did u pay at bank or u pay online? And were you asked to ur i20 too? And at what stage were u asked? Cuz me I’m not seeing anywhere to my i20 o. I’m sorry for asking too much questions

And when’s the earliest date for the appointment that you’re seeing there right now?

My mode of payment was by transferring using my Gtbank to a first bank online, I was not asked to anything as I did not see any place to , after payment on Friday today I was just directed to pick my location and then I was moved to the calendar.

The earliest date I am seeing as of now is tomorrow 3rd September but there are no time slots at all its showing 12 am at the moment.

Shueld06:


It took how many days for ur payment to be reflected? And when it reflected, how did you know it has reflected?

I made the payment on Friday evening and I kept checking all through the weekend and was having the same pending appointment issue. But this morning when I logged in I was taken straight to pick my location and after that, I was taken to the calendar which is where I am now. Appointment dates are there but no time slots just showing 12 am .

FavouredMiriam:
Same here. Let's keep trying. Hopefully, they will resolve the issue soonest.

Please let me know if/when you can book an appointment. I will do the same when I am able to do mine. thanks

Good morning,

I am having the same issue. I can see all the dates available, but when I click on my preferred date, the only time slot available is 12 a.m., and even when I click on that, I get an error message. I will keep trying.
