The DS-160 form has 40+ questions and is the most common source of avoidable errors. We complete it on your behalf, cross-referencing your documents for consistency — any discrepancy between the form and your interview answers triggers a refusal.
We walk you through the GTBank MRV fee payment process step-by-step, verify your receipt, and guide you through scheduling your interview on the US Embassy portal. No confusion, no missed steps.
Our interview prep is built from real questions asked at Lagos and Abuja. We run mock sessions, coach your financial narrative, and brief you on exactly how to prove non-immigrant intent to the officer. Most clients report the interview went exactly as practised.
Missing one document can cause a refusal without the chance to resubmit. Start complete.
Fixed pricing. No hidden fees. US government MRV fee ($185 ≈ NGN 290,000) is paid separately to the embassy — we never mark them up.

"Two previous rejections. SwiftPass rebuilt my DS-160, coached me through why I was being refused, and ran a full mock interview. The consular officer asked exactly the questions we practised. Approved."

"Conference in New York — needed my B1 fast. SwiftPass handled my DS-160 the same day, reviewed my invitation letter, and prepared my interview answers. Approved on interview day."
Chioma E.
Abuja · B1 Business Visa
"The SEVIS fee payment from Nigeria alone would have defeated me. SwiftPass walked me through every step — SEVIS, DS-160, I-20 review, and full interview prep. Got my F1 on first attempt."

"Needed to travel to the US for a medical procedure. Documentation for a medical visa is complex. SwiftPass knew exactly what the embassy needed — hospital confirmation, medical records, financial proof. Approved in 3 weeks."
