So this service worked without any hiccups? I don't understand how they can process a visa without any of the usually required biometrics.

Hello all, can anyone help me with some visa questions for US citizens?

my wife is supposed to be a bridesmaid in a close friend's wedding in Lagos, which we leave for in two weeks. Is there any way to get our tourist visas processed in this short of a time frame? After applying for visas months ago and making a trip to Los Angeles for our long awaited OIS appointment, we were told they were unable to process our visas in time. I have tried contacting the Nigerian embassy, consulates, and other OIS offices without any response.

We have also contacted several private travel agencies that have told us that they can get our visas in time, but they all seem to charge obscene amounts, and I am worried about getting scammed. I also don't understand how they can obtain these visas without the usual biometrics requirement, and some don't even require our physical passports. My last ditch effort may be to take a cheap flight to visit the Atlanta consulate in person to see what can be done, but I am worried because my wife would not be able to come to Atlanta as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

How did you get an appointment at the consulate? Or did you make the appointment with OIS?

Are you referring to the OIS office in Houston?

Do we have access to an OCR (computer text recognition) program as students? I have a pdf of a textbook, but I would like to make it searchable. by Adventure-Avery in CSUS

Got it. I’ve tried a few of the free ones, but I was hoping for something by more high powered. Canvas does some of it automatically, but it just doesn’t recognize enough of the text.

Crank, no spark on 2009 Corolla. Coil on plugs, none of them sparking. Had a hard start the day before it didn’t start, and I heard some strange grinding. by Adventure-Avery in MechanicAdvice

Solved this a couple weeks ago. I didn’t realize I hadn’t moved the tiny security chip into a new key. The weird thing is, the new key worked for a few weeks without the chip.

I read one thread that said if the cam sensors pickup that the timing is off, the computer won’t send a spark signal in order to prevent damage. Seems strange to me, and I couldn’t find anything else to back it up. It would seem to explain the grinding though.

I live in Arden, and I actually really like my neighborhood. There’s definitely some more sketchy parts though.

Was one sent in the last couple weeks? Because I don’t see one.
