KemsyDA:
Please kindly confirm that you received interview letter in August for a scheduled interview in November.

If yes, please is it early November or late November?

I'm asking because I'm patiently waiting to hear about ILs going out for November interviews...

Thanks for the anticipated response.

Regards.


Yes IL received in August, initially scheduled for October and later rescheduled to 3rd week in November.

Hello everyone,
I have been scheduled for November interview
PD: October 2021
Dq: November 2022
IL: August 2023

Has anyone had his/her interview?

How did you fill the contact sheet?
What to expect during the interview?
Any affordable accommodation with close proximity to the consulate?

Kindly share please

Congrats on receiving your IL. My appointment date was moved by the US Consulate to end of November. Looking forward to the interview as well.

Have you gone for the medicals please?
Did you pay extra fees for vaccines at Iom?

Had medicals at q-life. Had to pay a separate fee for vaccines which were administered during the medical appointment. Cost of vaccines varies based on any outstanding shots that haven't been taken.

Oh! Guess this was for everyone that received IL on Sept 1st. Any reason for the movement?

Not sure. Likely because they also issued several ILs to the IR/CR visa class which is higher priority.

Really!, which radio station is that?😂

Me gan sef I’m guilty of “casting” it by coming to start this thread to create awareness lol😂😂😂.

And the awareness is not only among Nigerians oh, you need to see how Brazil folks are also applying in large numbers.

I don’t see priority dates being current anytime soon sha and I have a feeling the they might make the requirements more stringent sef (I hear RFE rates are higher now). Already, PhD holders are beefing master’s degree holders that came to cast the whole thing for them.😀

Interesting times ahead!

Fresh FM in Ibadan.

You see those Brazilians ehn, it is very popular among them and they have another advantage of being more advanced than many other countries. All these could be driving the numbers there.

Regarding priority dates, I think we should not expect any significant movement till VB of Jan 2024. All these are speculations though.

Dont feel bad about starting the thread as the thread is doing more good than harm. I just know that no matter what, this route cant get populated like the Canada express entry, but anyway, time will tell.

@NotsonewMary i agree with @adedammy009. Starting the thread has been beneficial and will be. Just like any information, humans will always have a tendency to misuse it. The least we can all do is provide legit information as much as we can and leave it for someone who may benefit from it.
I guess if Congress act accordingly with the time and demand for employment and other categories grin grin grin (see no reason or incentive for them to do so anytime soon, the chaos benefits both parties) this shouldn't be an issue. At the same time, you are limited on how much you can tell someone who invities you to his/her home on how to run her home. (just like house parties back in the day you pay money to enter so you can play game of Devil's basket grin grin grin grin. untop your money, you still fit no play the game or chop rice grin grin). I hope everyone have a restful weekend ahead.

Hi @Mandem101, I just discovered that applicants for adjustment of status have been asked to use the DOF in both October and November visa bulletins. I'm wondering if this is positive news and applicable to those waiting for consular processing like me. (PD: 04/23, DQ: 06/23)

Using the Date of Filing (DOF) Chart only allows applicants for adjustment of status to file/submit their I-485 Greencard applications. The Oct/Nov Visa bulletin only gives more people the opportunity to file for AOS and the associated benefits. The Final action date chart is still what determines when the greencard application can be adjudicated. I stand corrected but I think for consular processing, an individuals final action date has to be current to receive IL.

@Cobu, @NotsonewMary is quite right.Date of filing is for adjustment of status. This gives us an idea of how far the DOS thinks available visa for the fiscal year will cover. as always its dynamic. IF your are not inside the US, Adjustment of status does not apply to you.

Good morning everyone. Glad I came across this thread, but I think the visa categories are confusing me. Do I qualify for the EB - 3 Visa as a UI/UX Designer working in Tech with 3 yes of professional experience? The only issue is the permanent employment with a US company though, which I don't have.

But is there any other category I can apply for given my background? My B.Sc is in Agriculture though, so not something related to what I do now, thanks.

Re: USA Employment-based Immigration (EB-1,EB-2,EB-3 Visa) by Nobody: 7:13pm On Oct 23, 2023
@Aku660 DOF only applies to AOS candidate aka applicants within US to help with EAD and necessary document to keep them eligible working pending Final action Date becomes current for them to get the Green card. As for Consular processing peeps, AOS does not apply. When reading the bulletin, Final action date is what you focus on.

At this rate, waiting to see what second quarter fiscal year Visa bulletin (January 2024 bulletin) will look like to guide projection for the rest of the fiscal year . One thing for sure, This new DOS administration will be pacing itself going forward to avoid the kneejerk reaction we saw end of spring this year .

Hi @Aku660, Yes it is. By God's grace, I got approved in about a week with premium processing and moved on to the next stage immediately. I remain grateful thus far.

This was my thought too when I saw your timeline. Anyway, na rich people dey do premium.... grin, as you have to pay the $2500 premium fee and attorney fee if you used one.
However, some people prefer to submit themselves and use premium. I have seen someone that did this and got approved for EB1.
