Hello Sir!! I really appreciate you for taking out time for us and respond to all the questions we have about immigrant and non immigrant visas. I have one quick question. I have filed for my husband I 130. Since i do not have any income as i have not been working since 2012 so what i did is got the verification of non filing letter from.IRS and submitted joint sponsor tax return , affifavit of support of mine as well as the joint sponsor. At this point, my concern wouls it affect my case as my uncle who is a joint sponsor has sponsored some relatives before as well among whch few have already became US citizens exept 3 who just immigrated couple of months ago and one more who has not applied for naturalization yet. their house hold size consists of 5 members including him. And his annual salary is 100k . Would it matter? I am waiting for an interview date. An immediare response would certainly be aappreciated. |

Hi Visa officer, i have a question concerning the form I134 I'd love to have clarification on. My fiance and i are presently waiting on our NoA2 for a K1 visa. Thing is I receive a SSDi which I believe is suitable for Affidavit of support but the income from that does not exceed the HHS threshold for our family size. Also I have a job from which I get paid on the table, i don't pay tax on it. Adding this to my ssa exceeds the needed amount. Can I use this for AoS? or will using a Co sponsor be better. Also, i have read that the lagos embassy does not issue visas for Co sponsorship. I will be grateful if you can throw light on this. Bless you. |

VisaOfficer:Good day Visa Officer, I have come again o.Please ,I have some questions pertaining to the answer you gave me before. 1.If I decide to wait till Im a citizen before the adoption does the 2years physical legal custody still apply? 2.Also, the child in question is my nephew.my younger sister have 3kids for a man who left her to wed another woman when she was pregnant with her third child.we have not set eyes on him since then and he has never bothered to come and check on them for four years now.We heard he is nolonger with the other woman.His mum and his step dad whom we know have since passed on.They have been living with my mum since the guy left and she cant afford to take care of them because she does not have a job.He seems to have disappeared into thin air and no one knows his where about. I on the other hand have none and would prefer to adopt one of my own.so my question is,'does the child qualify for adoption?' |

Dear VO, How long does the Dropbox renewal take? My passport has been with the Abuja Office for nearly one month now. I havent heard from them or gotten a request for more information and DHL says it is still at the Embassy. What could be happening? Can I call the Embassy to inquire? Thank you. |

Hi Visa Officer Sure you are doing great. I am back again in respect of my hubby case, hope you can still remember my case? Uscis sent a mail today that they denied the waiver on the ground that he is a diversity visa applicant and that the fiscal year for dv has ended Sept 30th 2014.that dv Visa category has ended. Now my question is this, should I go ahead and file for him? If yes, will the issue of material misrepresentation not going to come up again when he is invited for interview? Please I need your professional advice right now I'm so confused.i need you to advice me on the next step to take. Thanks and God bless. |

Dear VO, I am worried about my wife immigration visa case. My wife was interviewed in Lagos on August 25th for Cr1 visa and she was placed on administrative processing since then after summiting a contact list. Her case is still pending and no update. What is going on with our case? Please VO help us as this case is driving us crazy everyday. The agony of maintaining two homes and the emotional drains on us is overwhelming. Case No. LGS2014612025 Date of Interview August 25th 2014 Thank you so much. ChrisJulie |

dear visa officer, my dad filled a pettition for me last year june, but till now he dint see their response they sent him an email yesterday saying that they denied the visa because my dad did not contact them four months ago, the issue is that they sent letters to the wrong post adress, and not to the adress of my dad. however, they gave my dad two options, either he should start the process all over again or he should reopen the case ofcourse with reasons, so my dad decided to reopen the case and the reason being letters were being sent to the wrong post adress. my question is if a case is reopened how long can it take to schedule for an interview |

chrisjulie: I can't comment on cases under administrative processing, unfortunately. All I can say is that I've asked the people reviewing it for an update -- but I likely won't be able to comment on their response. |

tmeeto: The $275 is paid at the Consulate on the date of the interview. I should tell you that it's doubtful that your mother will qualify as a Returning Resident. We have very strict criteria for determining whether a prolonged absence was involuntary and beyond someone's control. She may need to go through the entire immigration process again herself -- that is, someone may need to file a new petition on her behalf, if she has a qualifying relationship with someone in the U.S. |

jogs: It takes at least six to eight months for NVC to process a petition, so your wife should not get her medical paperwork / police certificate now or they will likely expire before she has her interview. Yes, you should list your son as someone who will be migrating with your wife. Hope this helps! |

tonyphil: I'd say, as long as she can explain, it's fine. It would be a much bigger problem if she had listed someone else as her spouse!!! |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by VisaOfficer: 12:52pm On Mar 24, 2015 |
tehfrhn786: If your uncle has sponsored too many people for his income to support, we'll ask you for a new affidavit of support from a new joint sponsor. It sounds like he has sponsored quite a few, so maybe you should consider getting someone else to step in as joint sponsor at this point. |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by VisaOfficer: 12:56pm On Mar 24, 2015 |
usrun: Yes, if the petitioner isn't in the United States, we have no reason to issue the visa. The purpose of these visas is family reunification. |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by VisaOfficer: 12:58pm On Mar 24, 2015 |
Zariah: I'm not sure what you mean that we don't issue visas for co-sponsorship. Could you clarify? Ir does sound like you will need a joint sponsor. We ask for documentation to support the I-134, and if you don't pay taxes on your job, you won't have the documentation to show us. |

shagisha: 1. Yes, you can only file the I-130 if you meet the two years requirement. Otherwise you will need to file the I-600A. 2. So your sister, the child's mother, is deceased and the father is not part of the child's life? In that case, yes, the child would meet the legal definition of orphanhood for the purposes of immigration. |

omidan21: If his sister filed a petition on his behalf, that's an F4 visa, and it doesn't matter whether your fiance is married or not. The waiting time is the same either way. So tell that man to quit stalling and marry you o! 6 Likes |

AREOLA: I was just notified of the waiver denial myself. Yes, you should file for him if you want him to join you, but he will still need a waiver. |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by VisaOfficer: 1:08pm On Mar 24, 2015 |
rayanah100: Actually, I don't know how long it takes when a case is reinstated. All I know is that that has to be much faster than filing a whole new petition. |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by VisaOfficer: 1:09pm On Mar 24, 2015 |
olatexas: First you would file the I-130 for your spouse (CR1 or IR1). When that is approved, you can then file the I-129 to "jump the queue" and expedite as a K3. In my personal opinion, it doesn't make a lot of sense to expedite via the K3, because CR1s and IR1s are scheduled very quickly; at most, you'd save maybe a month. 1 Like |

VisaOfficer: I have read on websites such as Visa journey that certain US embassies (Lagos included) don't accept Co-sponsorship for K visas. That's why I want to know what your policies are on that. |
