vo pls I would like to ask why... it has been more than two months now that my wife filed for me.. she is a us citizen cr1. though we have confirmed that the petition has been received and approved cos she confirmed that already with the receipt number given to her.. but recently she has been trying to register on the USCIS website so u can be able to monitor the case update online but the website wouldn't let her and also he tried to call them but the call didn't take her to anywhere but in circles. how do we go about this? thanks |

Hello VO, Reading from you saying goodbye to 9ja make me feel unhappy....just want you to continue the good work you are doing. Well, I have a case here hope you can advice me.My wife is a US citizen she came back to 9ja when she was 10years old.She is 37 now. We got married 4years ago.She has a relative good job here which she doesn't want to leave now, on the other hand, are also planing to migrant / visiting . Now my question is can she file for me him in 9ja by paying the necessary fees through proxy in the US . What category of visa can we apply for in this case bearing in mind she doesn't want to leave me in 9ja for family reason . Can we apply for visiting visa in our case too. Thank you for your time. |

Dear Visa Officer, just to commend you on your support so far to everyone. Just a quick one. I recently received my interview date for an F2B category which is scheduled for sometime in August. I had a baby who is currently 4months now. I would like to know what i can do before the date of the interview so that she can come along with me for the interview. Am currently in the process of getting her passport issued and that shouldnt take more than 3 days. Thanks as i await your speedy respone to this. |

VO, It's quite unfortunate that you are leaving but I am sure your work ethics, experience, dedication and your relationship with applicants before this assignment has gotten you thus far. I have no doubt that I have seen you during the DNA session this month probably supervising the medical personnel and the way you related with people was very good.( You use glasses as you found it difficult picking some small font words).I HOPE IT WAS YOU. Well, the lady I saw that day was very accommodating and I am sure your next assignment will be better than what you have now. I pray thee to bless you and continue to grant you patience. ( Wish all consular officers were patient). All the best in your next assignment and I hope you won't stop visiting Nigeria. God bless. 1 Like |

Wow, just read through the thread. If your initials are DELETED then it was you I saw. it but will keep it to myself xcept u want the house to know. But truth be told, you have done a whole lot enlightening people and making us know the immigration policies of the united states. A quick one pls, are we to expect longer wait for priority dates to be current as a result of the new immigration law that was passed by president Obama or everything stays normal? Really missing my family but this seems like a whole long wait before my case is current. |

Dear VO , Please i was interviewed on the 18th of June and my visa was approved. But my passport was returned to me cos I needed it for my daughter's CRBA interview , anyways I eventualy dropped my passport at DHL oshodi drop off point on the 1st of July, since then I have not heard anything from them and it is showing no status update. Please can you kindly check it up for me as it has not been easy moving my tender baby all over cos the person that attended to me at oshodi specifically said I should go to muri okunola at Victoria island to check for it after two weeks if I didn't receive mail. But Victoria island is a bit far from me and I wouldn't want a wasted journey should it not be ready and as my baby is still tender and no sitter. Please I will be most greatful if you can check the status for me, really needed it to collect my daughter's passport which has been approved and is ready for collection. My passport number is A06190647 and my case number is LGS2015513039 Thanks in advance. |

ihes: If you e-mail us the details at LagosIV@state.gov, we'll look into it. If we can't confirm the fraud, of course, these allegations will not be held against anyone. (Tips like this open a line of questioning, but we will issue a visa if fraud is not confirmed.) |

onemorestep: If you have photos, letters, etc. that document your relationship, please bring them. But it sounds like the officer mainly wants to talk to you. It's a good idea to come early -- no later than 8:00. |

queenkaf: You're right: K visa holders are exempt from that fee (at least until they adjust status). You'll have to pay it later -- after you are married! |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by VisaOfficer: 6:45pm On Jul 22, 2015 |
standd: It sounds like you're still at the USCIS/NVC stage? (Otherwise the fees should already have been paid?). If the applicant is NOT a K visa applicant, it's the I-864, which you can find by Google; K applicants use the I-134. If not a K visa, either of you (but usually the petitioner) will pay NVC; K applicants pay in Nigeria when it's time to schedule an appointment. |

akinmax:. No, your wife cannot file an immigrant petition for you, because she does not reside in the U.S. But if you apply for a non-immigrant visa and explain that your wife resides permanently in Nigeria, the fact that she is an American will not affect your application adversely. |

VisaOfficer: Thank you VO We actually filed for Immigrant Visa and the Petitioner just called to say he got the I-864 form online already. I guess he will have to send them down to Nigeria along with the Tax return forms. We were asked to present the documents after submitting the NPC cert, Med report and Police report. Please, what's the prodecure for paying the Visa fees (by either the Petitioner or Applicant) if it has not been paid already. But from your reply, I guess it's been paid by the Petitioner cos we are already in the final stage, so I will still ask him. Thank you so much. 1 Like |
