onyiblanche: Fixed! Delivered! Sorry, I was in a meeting when he first came and the person who handled the case wasn't the person I'd given instructions to. I feel awful! So glad it's taken care of now though. Good grief! |

mugisco: Sounds to me like you should let USCIS know they should close that case, because the court divorce decree was not issued until AFTER you married your husband. If they approve the petition for some reason, it'll just be sent back for revocation once we see it here and look at the dates. |

Hi VO, my Fiance was there this morning to pick up his passport and he ask what additional documentation is needed. He was told he only needed a medical. We just wanted to confirm with you once more. Thanks |

Good day Sir, I married a US citizen here in Nigeria and I have wrong age on my passport (1982) I applied for i130 and they asked me to send request of evidence about my age, which I sent my birth certificate, the correct age is (1980) with other evidence to prove my correct age. My I130 was approved last month and my i129f was approved this month.. I received another update that my i130 case was sent to The Department of state for visa processing. Please do I have to get new passport and its going to take about 3 months or more to get new passport. I just want to know if I can still go for the interview with the same passport I use during the processing. Please, help me. This is very important. |

Hi VisaOfficer, Thank you so much for the re-assuring words. However, i will like to know if i am likely to be called before my proposed travel dates as the events i am going for is just around the corner, or do you think it might go beyond the date and if yes what are my chances if the event gets past.?

Please VO, I married an African American woman here in Nigeria last year June and she filed for i130 and i129f, my wife received RFE about my age diff on passport and because I have the correct age on my marriage certificate and on the form which is 1980 but wrong age on my passport which is 1982. My case was approved after I sent RFE back to USCIS and I received another update that my case was sent to Department of State for visa processing. Please I want to know if I need to get new passport with my correct age but it's going to take me 3-4 month to get my passport fixed. Can I still continue with my passport or get new passport... |

Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by Lara2015: 8:11pm On Mar 16, 2015 |
Good Morning VIsa Officer You are helping a lot of us using this medium, I would like to find out why so many couples are placed under A P after years of waiting, so many people have said the Nigerian Embassy is known for not looking through applicants evidence before making a decision, how correct can that be? If a beneficiary of a family visa has strong evidence to proof relationship to the petition, then why would they be placed on AP, considering the several years of delay caused by the visa process. Are visa decisions based on a CO's feelings on laid down rules and regulations? I am asking so that you can reconfirm that each petition would be givin proper scrutiny and visas given as long as there are no red flags. Thank You. |

Omoare80: Your passport should reflect your true date of birth. If not, we'll ask you to get a new passport anyway, so it's best to apply for one now. |

halaphilip: Most people won't have their original tax documents because the originals have already been submitted to the IRS. The document that needs to be original and signed is the actual affidavit -- the I-864 or (for K visas) the I-134. |

Lara2015: Each petition is given proper scrutiny. If the petitioner and the beneficiary have a qualifying relationship, and if the beneficiary doesn't have any ineligibilities, the beneficiary will get a visa. We don't put a lot of faith in documents because any document can be faked. Also, sometimes in real relationships, people show up with fake documents because they don't think they have enough evidence to show us! So a document that looks real doesn't mean the relationship is real, and a fake document doesn't necessarily mean that the relationship is fake. We rely most heavily on the interview; if the beneficiary can't talk credibly about the relationship, that's when we start to have doubts. It's also a problem for us if there's contradictory information. Sometimes we see immigrant visa applicants who claim to be unmarried, but they had two non-immigrant visa applications in which they claimed to be married with children. Then we have to figure out what the truth is. |

jojonile: It depends on the laboratory. My impression is that most labs send the results to us in much less than a month. |
