@Slightlymad where are you ooo. Have u abandoned the thread you started?

Hi VO, I'm a 32yr old man. My father is an American Citizen and is in the process of filing in an Immigrant visa for me. Though i applied for a Non immigrant student visa 3yrs ago and which was denied 3 times. Now, he's filing in for me. I want to know if my previous Non immigrant application refusal will anyway affect my Immigrant visa. Secondly, i want to know how long it will take for the petition to be approved. Thirdly, what are the likely questions to be asked by the Consular. Plus, i recently did a change of name on my last name and I'm getting a new passport that shows my current last name. I'm worried about this. I need a help please. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks

larrychulo:
Acccording to what he said, he said he has not been paying tax until recently cleared all his tax. He has been a taxi driver for years in the US. He has a madallion. So I really have to wait for 6yrs to be approved?? Though, he paid an attorney to take care of it. Just waiting to get my new passport and move on from there. I really hope it won't take that long to get my petition approved and again, my dad already included my details initially as he gained entry into the US about 25yrs ago. So now the attorney is bringing up my case under him. Everything is legit, no fraud. Hope to hear from you again soon. Thx.

Thanks for your information! I'm still single. Is your wife filing for you or you are filing for your wife??. I learn cases are different, i.e if a U.S citizen father or mother is filing for his son or daughter above 21. that, there's a special treatment for those categories which means it will be a bit little faster unlike if a US citizen husband or wife or a green card holder filing for his or her spouse, that the case takes much longer.

Hi Vo, 6yrs wait for f1 is very upsetting. My dad is freaky old and he has a medallion in the states. He needs me as soon as possible to care of things for him due to his old age and health wise. I'm sure he wont be able to do much in the next 6yrs. Is there any probability I could get my PD earlier than that? I need a response from VO please. Thanks

Hey guys, I got my visa approved on Tuesday.
Question: who is calling you
How did she get her visa
When did she get it
Are you married

Was less than 3 mins.
I walked away with a paper stating where to drop off my passport cos my medical result wasn't ready

Advice to everyone in the preference category
You will get the visa so stay calm
Almost 50 immigration interviews before me, maybe 3 didn't get it due to incomplete documents, they were asked to bring the documents on another date and get their visas.

My heart goes to the non immigrant folks.

bodescous:
. There is no VO contributing or interacting on this topic..It is a topic created by someone(Slightlymad)That's her monicker, for people waiting for their priority dates to become current....If you really want to ask question from a US VO,follow this link https://www.nairaland.com/2669622/u.s-immigration-questions-ask-u.s/54 That's for the immigrants visa questions. Good luck to you.

Just download the latest adobe reader dc with that you will be able to do it

pretty16:


pls am I downloading the adobe reader on my phone or am I to do it on a computer.

pretty16:


hi sledjama, pls how did u fill the DS-261 form. that's the first form u receive at the Nvc stage, the part where they say sign and submit electronically, been to a lot of cyber cafes in Ikeja, where I stay. none of them seem to have the electronic signature machine. most of the big cafes I know then have closed down. or is there another way to sign the form? pls your advice will be appreciated

sledjama:


whatever electronic machine you are looking for, you don't need them. just fill the form, when it gets to the signature part, just click the button that says sign this for electronically. that's it.

I don't think cybercafes is the best place to fill such delicate form.

Goodluck, and make sure your petitioner gets the affidavit of support filled out correctly, all signatures, and blank spaces i think should be N/A-ed, missing out any section can mean 4 months delay.

thanks a lot. I figured that out yesterday that signing and submitting electronically just means u have filled and read the form after clicking on it, I just printed out the confirmation page for records. I appreciate. thank you so much.

sledjama:


you are welcome, feel free to quote me should you need help with anything. I'll be happy to help.
goodluck.

Hello enimooko -

This question should be asked in the thread for US Immigrant Visas.

myright:
The waiting for F4 category is really tiring

magnificientzaz:
Hello Everyone,

Can someone who has first hand experience explain how these things work.
First, how long does it take to wait for f2b visa?
Secondly, Is it better your parent file for you or your fiance?
Thirdly, If my fiance is filing for me, how long do i have to wait?


Thanks
