lindababy2u: It sounds like your case is ready to be scheduled, and NVC will give you an appointment date as soon as one becomes available. They've asked us for our July and August availabilities but haven't sent us the cases for those months, so I suppose they're still notifying people about those appointment dates. At any rate, it shouldn't be much longer now! |

kanayogod: 1. You can always e-mail NVC and ask for a status update. NVCinquiry@state.gov 2. No, but if there's any lack of clarity, DNA is one way to settle questions quickly. For siblings, we ask them to test with a mutual parent rather than directly with each other. That's because sibling-to-sibling DNA tests can come back negative even when the people really are siblings, if they inherit very different gene sets from each parent. 3. No. Although I suppose on any given day one office will process more cases than others, due to staffing, number of cases received, etc. But it's not like "Don't file your case in state X because they purposely make everyone wait an extra 26 months." |

bewaji25: If you have time to come see us we'd be glad to put the medical paperwork properly in your immigration packet. Just shoot us an e-mail at LagosIV@state.gov. Thanks! |

krisnwanegbo: There are so many different reasons why a case might be under administrative processing, it's impossible to guess why yours is and why it's taking so long. I wish I had a clearer answer for you. Feel free to e-mail us at LagosIV@state.gov -- if there's a way we can make the case move faster, we will, but I can't promise anything. |

bewaji25: If for any reason we do, just get on that plane! but make sure you have the new medical paperwork with you, and let the officers at the port of entry know what happened. |

Public service announcement: Please don't send me private messages! To paraphrase the American philosopher Taylor Swift: I am never ever ever gonna read a PM, I am never ever ever gonna read a PM, You go post on Naira', talk to me here, e-mail LagosIV But I am never ever ever gonna read a PM. Thank you for your understanding! Let's keep everything transparent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WA4iX5D9Z64 6 Likes |

Good Morning V.O, I have two questions please,...firstly, I made a mistake on my ds-160 form (when asked if I have the documentation for us immunization) I said yes and I have used the code generated to book my interview and when I sent a mail to lagos embassy they said I should fill another one but the code would be different and I might not be allowed in for the interview. Also, when booking my appointment I filled in a wrong priority date on my profile page and each time I try to change it comes back with an error page. my interview is july 16 and it is for k1 visa. |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by queenkaf: 10:03am On Jun 03, 2015 |
VisaOfficer: k1 visa |

Dear VO, I have a friend who submitted their non immigrants renewal about 12 business days ago! And it's still not back. Is there a problem or backlog. It's unusual cause the USA visa process can be likened to clockwork. Any explanation? |

Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by VisaOfficer: 4:12pm On Jun 03, 2015 |
queenkaf: I double-checked with our technical guru, who replied: "The bar code issue does not affect K-1 visas. He/she can complete another Form DS-160 for his K1 interview. Regarding the priority date, he should not bother to make any changes, he/she already has the appointment and the correct priority date is already in our system!" Hope this helps! |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by VisaOfficer: 4:13pm On Jun 03, 2015 |
InsightfulTP: That's a question for a non-immigrant thread, or for LagosNIV@state.gov. |

VisaOfficer: Thank you V.O you are a darling...now my mind is at rest....all I need to do is overcome my nervousness.....my fiancé says thank you too so that means if I show another ds-160 confirmation different from what I have on my appointment confirmation letter I wont be denied access into the interview venue |

VisaOfficer: Hello VisaOfficer, I finally filled a DS-260 form after weeks of battling with technical issues but I want to know if I am to go with printed copies to the embassy. I also want to inquire about the NPC birth certificate, where do I get it, and can I use another birth certificate in it's place? |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by lizziepeks: 8:19pm On Jun 03, 2015 |
VisaOfficer: Ma M going through a very annoying situation I went online trying to schedule an appointment for July, but the website is stating 13th of August to be the earliest possible time is this correct ma should I book my interview for then or is it possible to get one for July "very sad face" |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by VisaOfficer: 7:26am On Jun 04, 2015 |
queenkaf: That's right. The DS-160 confirmation issue is only a problem on the NIV side. However, if you've used a DS-160 for an NIV interview, it can't be reused for the K visa interview. Every application needs its own DS-160. |

standd: You should bring your confirmation page. As for the birth certificate, here's the official information: Birth and death certificates: Generally available, particularly for events occurring after 1970. Registration of births and deaths is compulsory in Lagos. The National Population Commission issues birth certificates for births after 1992. For Lagos records, certified copies of records for dates ending with 1979 can be obtained at the Lagos State Ministry of Health, Old Secretariat, Ikeja, Lagos. For records after 1979, contact the local government that issued the original certificate directly. Most births and deaths outside of Lagos are also registered at the time of the event. Applicants can obtain certified true copies of certificates directly from the local government. Alternatively, acceptable identity/parentage documents are infant baptismal certificates and hospital or maternity clinic records of birth [note: If we know you should be able to get a birth certificate due to your date and place of birth, we won't accept a baptismal certificate or hospital record instead. - VO]. Home births are rare in Nigeria and medical records are available in most cases. Affidavits may be acceptable as substitutes for documents for those born outside Lagos prior to 1960 or born in the eastern part of Nigeria in the 1960's at the time of the Biafran War, when presented in combination with convincing secondary evidence of relationship. |

Hello Ma, I am new at this forum. I must say that I truly appreciate how you take out time to answer everyone questions. I wish I joined this forum early. I imagine what you look but I do know you have a good heart from how you relates to everyone visa journey. May God bless you always. My fiancé had his interview on May 21, 2015 and was asked to return with more evidence of relationship of which tomorrow June 5, 2015 have been issued to return, will he be interviewed a second time? Or just collect the evidence from him? Here is our case number LGS2015591012. Ma, is it possible to say hi to him tomorrow so he can describe what you look like to me? . Thanks for your good work. |

VO, I am sorry for bringing this up here but you are the most responsive VO I know. My wife submitted a non immigrant visa renewal 3 weeks ago and it's not out yet we are scheduled to travel soon and our vacation days are not flexible. It's almost a miracle we both got vacation days at same period. What do we do |
