Hi everyone its been a while someone posted here, hope u all are cool. Just wanted to know if there has been anyone on the F4 category who got a visa appointment date recently(What was Ur priority date)? @ VO please explain how the dates on the visa bulletin works, does it mean the dates on the bulletin are the ones being interviewed for that particular month or to be interviewed after that month. Sorry I am asking but Ur answers would benefit me. Have missed u all especially the VOs. Cheers

The visa bulletin lets you know which cases are current - once they are current they become eligible for interviews. The file still has to be received and an appointment made through the embassy, so sometimes it can take another month or two from the listed priority dates.

Hello everyone. I have a question for the V.I
My mom went for her interview yesterday&was given the normal white paper that her visa has been approved but she got a call yesterday evening again telling her to come back next week for another interview or verification.
Please what does that implies,is it that her visa wasn't approved or what

Hello VO,

If she has to come back for an interview, then some issues were uncovered that will have to be addressed before the visa can be printed.

All of the original documents that we have are returned at the time of the interview. If this is a document that you sent to the KCC, it is possible that we never received it. You can email the consulate directly to inquire about your specific case and have them review the file for any original documents.

Hello VO, my interview for a fiance visa has been scheduled, and its a few weeks away, but I noticed that since the status updated "ready" on the 9th of July it got updated on the 29th of July again. Is everything alright? I'm just paranoid.

Thanks in anticipation of response.

Just show up at your appointment with the information you were informed about when the appointment was made. If anything changes, you will be contacted.

As we tell applicants during the interview, it can take up to 10 business days before your passport is available for pickup.

It takes as along as it takes for us to receive the requested information.

That's the point. Nothing has been requested from her.
They already ask her to come collect her visa,only for the embassy to call her back again for follow up. She has submitted the follow up for but nothing was requested

This statement is unclear. If she was asked to come back for an interview, then that's what she has to do. She was provided information on how to contact the consulate about her specific case.

good morning sir, my case as being sent to the uscis and the uscis just informed us.
sir please kindly let know. if the case is reaffirm and send back to the embassy. would my visa be issue out to me. the doctor still saying my fiance can not travel yet, due to her health condition. and that as make us not have met each other in person. and this is the reason why my visa is not issued to me on my previous interview. and now sir, the case as being return to the uscis and the uscis as contacted my fiance over there in the U.S but the doctor still confirm us that she cant travel.

if by any means the uscis review the case and send it back. can the consular reconsider me to go and meet my fiance and get married to her immediately.

pls advise.

If you have not met in person, it will not be reaffirmed. This is a requirement of the K-1 visa.

Your mom will need to get in touch with USCIS to surrender her green card and permanent resident status; in the future she will have to apply for non-immigrant visas to return to the US.

thank you for your respond sir, but the uscis knows we have not met in person due to her health condition and they approoved the case at first place.

i understand your message very well sir, but i only want to know if it happen the way i thought, would my visa be granted.

thank you sir.

The wedding certificate will have to come from a government body acknowledged by the Nigerian court systems. Registry are the quickest and easiest, but the Islamic courts are also acceptable. Unfortunately we wouldn't be able to accept a certificate from a society group.

Hello LagosNIV, I'm asked a question here but am yet to get a reply.

After getting married they would have to file for the IR-1/CR-1 visa. They could also file for a K-1 fiancé visa ahead of the wedding which could make the process run more smoothly.

Thank you so much, can he file after the wedding in US without coming to Nigeria or what do you advice because the health challenges of the spouses require him to want to stay
