Hello visa officer,
I had an interview for immigrant visa August 6 and was told by the interviewer the visa should be ready after five working days.I have been to Lagos twice from Abuja and the visa is not ready. I have purchased ticket for travel based on the information the interviewer gave us after the interview. I rescheduled our flights from last week Sunday to this Friday and the visa is still not out. I'm a bit confused.I have sent an email to support service for them to expedite action to enable us travel on Friday 21st August since we have purchased tickets.
I tried to track our passports but it provided no information on it and the call center number is not going through.
Could you help check if our visas are ready for collection or expedite action on it ?
Case no: LG2010792051. Will appreciate your prompt response.
Thanks for your help.

A friend of mine met his American fiancée on FB close to two years ago, due to one reason or the other his fiancé can't come to Nigeria, but she wants to invite him to the States, can she do so? If yes what are the requirements needed on her side to send to my friend? Pls Urgent reply needed

Thanks

SirJeffry:
Thanks for your prompt response but my question lies more on the passport number. In the visa application form, there's a space for passport number.

I already contacted a Nigerian immigration officer who told me that when a new passport is issued to her based on marriage(change of name), it will bear a new number.

Should I wait for her new passport before filling out the visa forms or can I go ahead and fill out the number in her current passport that still bears her maiden name?

Thanks for your efforts and very useful responses on this thread. I have a b1b2 multiple entry visa that will expire in November which I have not been able to use due to (1) primarily work schedule, (2) was to use it last year but couldn't secure a release because I had just returned from India where I spent over three months on training.

Now I intend to travel to US, before end of this month and return before the expiration of the Visa. Are there any issues or penalties on unused visa I should be concerned of? Kindly advise.

Dear Officer,
Thanks for the good work here. Last year I secured tourist visas for my family hoping that the quality time together would save our troubled marriage but sadly it still ended in a divorce later in the year. Soon afterwards with the support of her family my wife(ex) travelled to the US with the kids to visit one of her uncles and has refused to return.
I have decided to move on and have even visited to see the kids a few times. On my last visit I met an American lady and a relationship has developed maybe because we had similar marital experiences. She want us to take the relationship further and she's even ready to file a 1-129F petition for me. But I have two concerns
1. Am I eligible for such petition, am I qualified for a K1visa?
2. If I get a K1 and eventually marry my American fiancée, is it possible legally in the US to get custody of my kids back from my ex wife?

Hi visa officer,
I had written you earlier and you advised me to send email to obtain update about my visa status. I have sent a couple of emails and I was told my visa was not ready.
Its a little over a month after our interview and we weren't told we are on administrative processing. I recently did an email for an update and there was no response. I find it very frustrating as no one us giving us any form of update. What do you think could be wrong and what else can I do apart from sending emails and waiting endlessly?
Your advise will be most appreciated . Thank you for your time.

VisaOfficer:


Yes, that's a perfectly safe assumption. We always check to be sure that the most current passport number is on file; getting a new passport is a common occurrence.

I miss Nigeria! Nairaland keeps me from getting too homesick.

9jaStar:


We miss you, too! Come back soon.

On the passport issue, would I need to update the passport number on my petition? I hope not. Sounds like it would cause complications

VisaOfficer:


Ah, now I understand. Yes, it's okay to use her current passport number. That can be updated later, if need be.

lizziepeks:


Good evening Ma, I finally got the email stating they have received the file less than a week after the previous email of discouragement and what saddens me really is that I decided to go on a holiday not back to Nigeria till august and have also rescheduled it till august 20th .. hmmm sad much my question now is the I-129f approval has an expiry date of 24th August M guessing this means I ought to be in the states by then does this get extended??

lizziepeks:
Good Morning Ma

I went to the DHL office in VI to collect my passport but was told they didn't have it. the CEAC website says visa ISSUED on the 3rd of September and after the interview the Consular said my passport would be ready for pick up in 2weeks which actually falls on the 2nd of September and all I needed to do was to go pick it up. I sent an email to the LagosIV email on saturday and no response yet just the automated one hmm but then I am wondering if I made a mistake when I went to the DHL office because I signed my details under the Immigrant collection and not NonImmigrant visa collection cos when I think of it K1 falls under both.

SirJeffry:
OK. thanks so much but as an Oliver Twist, I have one more please

In her current passport which bears her maiden name, her first name appears as her second name and vice versa.

Example: my petition at the NVC bears her name as DOUGLAS Cynthia Blessing while the passport bears DOUGLAS Blessing Cynthia (her first name Cynthia appears as the second name in the old passport). Aside changing her last name to mine, this is another change we intend to do in her new passport. In this situation, would you advise me to go ahead with application?
Thanks my amiable VO.

Dear Visa Officer, I got a mail from the embassy after administrative processing was concluded that i should drop off our international passports on any Monday or Wednesday. does this mean the visa has been approved or what? Also my child passport was 7 month plus before expiration as at when we attended the visa interview, but now the passport is 5 months and some weeks to expire. Should i still drop the passport like that or i should renew it? thank you

Do u have any idea how long will it take i know it depends on the embassy but any light would just make us happy..

JUST WANTED TO KNOW HOW THIS SCHEDULE THING WORKS!!

Dear VO,
Please I urgently need your advise. I know you've rated NVC so high especially after your visit to their offices and honestly, they've greatly improved in their communications since March 2015 but I have a big problem now. My Police Certificate was included and also marked on the Document Cover Sheet in the package we sent to them last month. My husband and I cross-checked everything one-by-one to be sure that everything we put in the NVC package was checked on the Document Cover Sheet. Surprisingly, when I called them 2 weeks after, they told me the Police Certificate is missing in the file. Without question, we went ahead and mailed another one and even the FedEx tracker confirmed it was delivered and received by NVC but they're still saying they don't have it. I don't know what else to do. My Category is F2A and my Priority date is current (Dec 8, 2013). Please what do you advise Thanks so much.

Dear VO,
please if one should declare to the visa officer that he/ she is a corper during interview at the embassy will the person be denied the visa. thank you

lindababy2u:
Greetings my amiable V.O. For all these good works God will reward you. Honestly I am very worried about what is happening. I am CR1 and my case was completed since April my husband was able to get NVC two weeks ago and he was told about the technical problem but somebody on this forum said that their case was completed in may 26th and they have already booked them for interview. kindly assist me because I don't know what is happening.

Different cases are affected by our technical problems in different ways. I know it's hard to wait, but please be patient -- NVC will schedule your case for an interview as soon as it can.

Still very worried my V.O ,I'm short of words. kindly assist me.


My V.O I am still worried about my case. Up till now I have not heard from NVC ,even my husband who is the petitioner has written to them but no reply yet. I believe if there is any problem they could have written to us giving us situation report. Again do you conduct interview till December period and will my interview date be send to me through e-mail ?

olatexas:
Good day VO.. my husband was denied the i-129 fiancee visa in Lagos because we were presumed "Already Married" by him paying my Dowry. We were then advised by you to file for alien relatives. I have now filed the Form i-130 and I also submitted copy of the denied letter by you. The USCIS have cashed my check for $420 according to my bank statement and I have also received a letter called Form i-797c.. my question now is what is: 201 B INA SPOUSE OF USC.
I do not understand this abbreviations, please help me.
