Good Evening, LagosNIV, I would like to make some enquirers concerning a visa application. my Aunt is an American citizen and she filed for her daughter and she was given an Immigrant Visa. Before she was given her visa, she had been dating a guy for close to 6 years and they recently got wedded, does her visa extend to her newly wedded husband? Can her husband be given a Visa based on hers? Thanks, I eagerly await your reply. |

Hello our amiable VO, I have an IV interview in the Lagos consulate. I want to know if it is compulsory to go along with the original copies of my affidavit of support and tax return of my sponsors, knowing that these documents have already been submitted to the NVC. If i can't produce these original or copies will my chances of being issued a visa be diminished. Thank you. |

Dear , please I will appreciate your advice, my cousin was issued a b1/b2 visa in January 2014, she was 1month pregnant then, although unknown to her. She traveled twice to the US that year, she also had her second baby there but not without writing a letter of change of intent to the embassy. Her visa was canceled in 2015 when she took her first son to the embassy for his visa interview,she had the second baby with her, she was asked why she applied for only the first son, she told them she had the second one in the US and she had her own visa cancelled while her son was also denied visa. She has applied twice since then and was denied. Please what can she do at this point? |

Ezepikin: Thank you for the question. However, this appears to be an non-immigrant visa question. Please take it to the correct forum. |

chinwe12: The immigrant visa correspondence unit will contact her if we require further information. Unfortunately, there is no timetable on the decision, though your mother is welcome to request an update after 60 days. |

aideoise: You should always try to bring original documents. However, we can work with clean photocopies of the affidavit of support. The visa officer will let you know if he or she needs the original for review. Regards, VO |

FrankNetter: This has the potential to change the visa classification. However, without the case, it is difficult to determine what will happen. I encourage your aunt to write LagosIV@state.gov with this question. Please note we can only answer questions from the petitioner, beneficiary, or legal representation. Regards, VO |

Espente: Good practice is to make copies of everything before you send them off to NVC (or anywhere, really). We will receive your packet in due time and will contact you if we need further documentation. Regards, VO |

321d: Your petition will not be automatically revoked. Derivatives (including a spouse, children, and step-children) are allowed on F4 visas. However, you should be prepared to answer detailed questions about your relationship(s) during the interview. Regards, VO |

souleymon: You cannot know (and I cannot know) what will happen during the interview. You should continue as you are, letting USCIS know the situation, and the visa officer will advise you as to next steps. Regards, VO |

ijenma1: While this is a non-immigrant visa question, I will answer it. Yes, you can apply for a visiting visa while your immigrant visa application is still pending. You should be prepared to demonstrate strong ties to Nigeria during the interview. Regards, VO 1 Like |

menuhome5: Apologies, but I don't understand the question. Please be more specific in what you're trying to ask. Regards, VO |

hefty3: This appears to be a non-immigrant visa question. Please take your question to the appropriate forum. That said, regarding "agents" -- there are many reasons not to use them, and your experience is yet another reason. Regards, VO |

Hello vo, I had my us immigrant visa interview this Monday(my dad filled for me). While going for the Interview I had all my documents except for my medicals, it wasn't ready and was told to present the receipt to the consulate as a prove that I've done it. On during the interview the consulate asked Jus few questions and didn't request for any of my documents, except for the police report (which I provided) and the medical report(which wasn't ready). After the interview she gave me a white paper that I should get my medical results and mail it with my passport included through DHL. My question now is should I still be worried if my visa will be approved or not ? |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by VisaOfficer: 10:06am On Dec 02, 2016 |
Hover62: Some interviews are very fast. We see thousands of applicants and can very quickly adjudicate certain cases. Don't read anything into a short interview. If the interviewing officer had a problem with your case, you would know! From what you've described, we need your medical report to continue your case. When you receive the actual medical report, drop it at the address given to you with your international passport. If there are any problems with the medical report, we will receive the report directly from the clinic and contact you with next steps. On the receipt question, this appears to be a common issue. Applicants receive a receipt as proof that they attended the medical exam, but the receipt, by itself, does not replace the medical report. In fact, if you try to show the medical report receipt, we will not even look at it. Regards, VO |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by Hover62: 10:23am On Dec 02, 2016 |
Thank you very much I really appreciate it. One other question I have is that I have less than 9 months left on my international passport. I want to knw of I can still renew it after my visa as being approved, because I read it somewhere that one need to have nothing less than 6months on his/her international passport before entering the us. |

Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by menuhome5: 7:07pm On Dec 02, 2016 |
Sorry about that! We did our court wedding in Nigeria 2 months after my wife got her F2A visa. The question is, hope is allowed to be wedded shortly after getting the visa before leaving the country. |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by Hover62: 8:18pm On Dec 02, 2016 |
Hello VO, I mentioned earlier that I already had my Iv interview and was asked to send my medical result when I get them through DHL. Now I've got the results and I went to the DHL address I was given, when I tried to mail the package the attendant who attended to said I will have to open the sealed envelop which I was instructed not to do so by the doctor. My question now is I hope it doesn't matter and won't affect my visa process? |

Hello, VO, I would like to know if EB3 visa interview can be rescheduled. If yes, when will the new date be? In 1 or 2 months ? |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by chinwe12: 12:31am On Dec 05, 2016 |
VisaOfficer:ok thanks an email was sent to her requesting for an affidavit of support and financial evidence as well as her passport. I pray they issue her visa after receiving the requested documents. finally they gave her an address to submit her documents so can she submit it to the address through DHL or can someone help her submit it at the specified address if she is indisposed to do so by herself |

Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by VisaOfficer: 8:08am On Dec 05, 2016 |
Hover62: To prevent any issues either upon visa printing or at the border, you should present a passport with at least 6 months remaining when you attempt to enter the United States. Otherwise, you risk being sent back to Nigeria even if everything else is in order. Regards, VO |
