    Trump Administration indefinitely suspended the visa drop box for Nigerians 3 days ago meaning people that currently have 2yr US B1/B2 visa have to always go into an in-person interview. New applicants and Current US Visa holders are hunting for appointments while many more currently on the lookout for appointments

     

    My church member just scheduled for an October interview date meaning its back up 5 months. YES 5 MONTHS!!

    here's the source of the indefinite ban of interview waivers below

    If you have a VALID reason, you can apply for extension. But you cannot get a new visa to the US from within US. Common sense here.

     

     

    Are you asking for another "friend"? Like here:

     

    or here

    if those are not "friends" but you in fact, then I highly doubt you'll get extension approved.

     

     

    OH! I see the post you were referencing was in January. No it is not the same person. my advice for that my friend was to go back to her home country. Start the process again

    That is fine but then you and your friend should get all the correct answers already.  Probably the answers are hard to accept but they are what they are.

    That is what this platform is designed to achieve. We come here to ask questions and to get answers. it is very simple , people always have a choice to ignore questions they don't like or find annoying. No one is compelled by anyone to answer. In a public space like this, people should not get personal with issues

    -Visa is a travel document. It allows you to board the plane bound for the US and appears in front of a CBP officer to seek admission to the US. The CBP officer than "admits" you for a certain period of time. For B1/B2, no more than 6 months. When you're in the US, you're said to be in B1/B2 status, and as mentioned in the previous sentence, that status is set by the CBP officer and indicated in form I-94. You cannot stay in the US pass the date on the I-94. That B1/B2 status can be extended while you're in the US, provided you file form I-539 Extension of status with USCIS before the date indicated on the I-94, and with a valid reason, of course. 

     

    -As for the Visa itself (the foil stamp that the US Embassy/Consulate placed in your passport), that cannot be extended within the US. Only US Embassy/Consulate overseas issue visas. One crucial thing to remember is that the validity of your visa is NOT how long you're allowed to stay in the US.

    Thank you so much . Very informative. thank you for your input

    Tell your "friends" to get their own accounts because this is getting ridiculous.

    My friend you are not obligated to respond to anyones question on this platform. Just move on other business if you find it annoying or disagreeable. Your are in no position to determine for another how he or she chooses to engage with friends. Just Kindly move on...

    right they often don't look at what you take to interview and that is why we say "front load the application"

    the packet is reviewed before the interview and what is in there is  important 

    if they need any additional documents after interview, the embassy will instruct how and where to submit them

    Pls explain more, what do you mean by "front load the application" . How can you do that

    Again, never heard of uploading any documents for a tourist visa. Take the info with you, at the beginning of the interview try to get that info across verbally to the CO. Again they don't have to consider anything if they don't want to though. What is so urgent about this attempt at a tourist visa? With the caps lock on it is making you sound awfully desperate.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH BEN ZIAN FOR YOUR KIND WORDS. YOU ARE RIGHT! I MAY BE DESPERATE, BUT IN A GOOD WAY. I AM BRINGING MANY DELEGATE FOR A CONFERENCE IN THE United States. TWO OF THEM HAVE THEIR INTERVIEW TOMORROW. AS THE ORGANIZATION BRINGING THEM, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE ON OUR PART THAT WE DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE. SO YOU SEE ...YOUR ARE CORRCT. I JUST NEED TO FIND A WAY TO SEND MORE INFORMATION BECAUSE ONE OF THEM WAS DECLINED AND HE WAS ASKED FOR MORE INFO. SO I DONT KNOW HOW TO GET IT ACROSS BEFORE THE INTERVIEW BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO ME THEY MAKE THE DECISION BEFORE THE INTERVIEW.   WE JUST WANT TO SEND THE EXTRA INFORMATION BEFORE THE INTERVIEW

    i believe you take supporting documents to the interview

     

    YES BUT MOST TIME IT IS NOT ASKED FOR, AND THE SYSTEM WILL NOT PERMIT SOME VITAL INFORMATION LIKE ONGOING DEGREE PROGRAM IN YOUR HOME COUNTRY BCAUSE THE SYSTEM DOES NOT HAVE PROVISION FOR DATES IN THE FUTURE

    Yet you ignore all these to focus on half a post (you ignore the rest of that same post) that says “get competent legal help” which she has and the lawyer is telling her the same thing as all the above. What do you think is going to happen, Trump is going to magically decree that all overstays are forgiven and granted green cards? 

    Hmmm

    Tell your friend first of all to seek competent legal help and information directly, not through second persons like you who will never have the full story. Signing up an account on VJ is free.

     

    Your friends story is either not adding up or you don’t have the facts. When an alien applies to change status via a timely nonfrivolous petition, he/she does not begin to accrue illegal presence until after USCIS adjudicates/denies the petition.

    She has done that. The lawyer got them to reopen her case. But the lawyer is not sounding hopeful about a positive outcome

      Having a wife that is an overstaying a visa and has had children in the US ( are they his  ?  )   I can't think of a single thing that would overcome the presumption of immigrant intent .  Any officer that would grant a visa under those conditions should be sent back for retraining.  Sorry but any non immigrant visa is a no go until there are more ties to his home country than the US.   Maybe your friend and the kids could all move to a 3rd country with the husband for a decade or so .   

    He is one of those Nigerians that will never leave the country except in a war situation because he is doing so well financially.  He has a company that 

    With employees both in Lagos and in PH. I think he is just being reprimanded because of his wife overstay. She came to America on his visa as a house wife. I guess that has permanently affected his stand with immigration

    She goes back to her country and maybe he gets a chance couple of years down the road. 

    If she goes back, she won't be able to come back for at least 10years  I guess. Her children are us citizens but they are below 6yrs old.

    She has invested alot trying to resolve this issue with immigration that she feel it will be a big loss of money after spending much. The major thing she wants to achieve know is to lift the effect her process is having on her husband visa
