Thanks but remember I said she's not working but the mother does can she file for me using the mother statement of account
Can she file for a visit visa for through an immigration lawyer? As the fiancé visa takes time like a year plus and will it be possible as she has not come to Nigeria before thank you

If you are married to her, I think her mother can.

Visit visa is a tall order knowing you are an immigration risk.

She should come over and marry you then file for you

Oh I see so once we married the mother can help file for me to come over can we get married in any country or just Nigeria I really know a lot I was thinking of going to Mexico so we can get married there and come back to Nigeria as she don't like to come to Nigeria

Marriage is marriage anywhere. Just get married and take pictures. Why is she afraid of coming to Nigeria? You can get married in Dubai. It's closer and easier to access

Hello house
I intend applying for a visa to a confrence soon but i want to make the interview early enough,the confrence fee is on the high side which will take me some months to get.
My question: Having details of the event,can i proceed for the interview?
A friend said i can proceed,but what if the VO ask for an evidence of payment for the confrence.
I want to be careful,please advise?

Quick question, how old is this lady? She alone can file for you if she is 21 years of age and above. Also she needs to have some kind of income to sponsor you for any kind of immigrant visa. Being a dependent on her mom reduces the chances of the immigrant visa she's going to file for you being approved.

Are you trying to say the marriage is the only sure thing can make her file for me with the help of her mother beside she don't stay with her mum she's got other kids but the mum said she will help me in coming to America so I can see my child and raise her up
What would be the advantage of my child as an American citizen ? My baby mama was thinking of filing for me with out marriege is that possible
Can't she file stating I am finically stable and am coming to take care of them ?

This is a HUGE lie!! Please top misleading people, ha!! even if the wife is not working as long as his mother-in-law works and meets the income requirement (125% of the normal income requirements) and which in this case as a family of four is $30,750. She can sign the papers and act as the co-sponsor for his immigrant visa.
The wife will fill out an Affidavit of support as the primary petitioner while the mother needs to fill out an Affidavit of Support as a Joint Sponsor. This does not in ANY WAY affect his chance of being approved for an immigrant visa AT ALL!!!. I have seen several people go this route and they have all gotten their Green Cards and subsequently US Citizenship after 3 years.

@bolded.... are you trying to shy away from marrying your baby mama? Which kain job you get wey you wan go America go take care of girlfriend and daughter? Which can category of visa is that one called? Nope. You have to marry her before she can file any immigrant petition for you

Oga. The answer to your question lies in just a quick research.
What is the criteria for one to sponsor another person?
Is baby father to a child under 21 or 18 one of them?
Is grandma to baby of baby father one of them?
Is baby sitter one of them?
When you see the rules in black and white then you will know whether it's possible to cut corners.
Meany you are on the wrong thread

MamaOO:

@bolded.... are you trying to shy away from marrying your baby mama? Which kain job you get wey you wan go America go take care of girlfriend and daughter? Which can category of visa is that one called? Nope. You have to marry her before she can file any immigrant petition for you

It's called "biological parent visa " or " I want to eat my cake and still have it visa" .

Am asking because I wanna know if marrying her will be the only way that's not a problem but she's scared coming to Nigeria that's why we met in South Africa were I reside and I came to Nigeria when she put to birth.
Since she don't wanna come to Nigeria were would you think will be the best place to get married to her.
What about getting married when I get there I really don't understand how this this things runs she's scared of coming thinking my baby will be taken away from her here lol

Okay, I don't know where in my statement I am misleading anyone. How can someone not working and that means that she is depending on the government for some kind of income now petition an immigrant visa for anyone. I hope that you are aware that new immigrants into the U.S. cannot obtain or depend on the government for at least till after a year or two. Now like I stated earlier if his baby mama is earning some kind of income maybe through part time work even if her income is not enough to sponsor the person she's petitioning for a co-sponsor can help with the affidavit of support to allow the petition eventually approved.

She can come without the baby and marry you here then go back and start paperwork.

I don't understand how two people will be in love and you don't want to go to his country even if it just to see his face when every evening I'm outside the gate waiting for my lover to return from work.

If he travels just for one night I will not be able to sleep till he comes back. Forgive me, I don't understand how long distance works

I recieved a text message that my passport I ready at lagos,i am in delta state at the moment.i want to know if It can be dhl to benin so that I can pick it up

Hope you have a work line up for you in U.S?

seyewest:


Nef but you spent 1 month in Houston watching trains...

Actually 5mths in Chicago watching FBIs most wanted. The trains were an after thought

I was carrying his baby. The distance was a necessary evil and I hated every minute of it. Once baby show, na Lagos I de see so!

seyewest:

Hope you have a work line up for you in U.S?

Correct.

He will have to research of any kind of job in the U.S. that will file the H-1B visa(employer visa) on his behalf.

Okay thank y'all for the advice and hopes I really appreciate it thank y'all
Was planning of see my baby baby before her one year birthday wish is December 25th this year
What can I do to make it possible to be there with my wife's paper work can't I make my own plans here and can some one help me out with a good connect

She can petition for a fiance visa for you, but you will have to get married within 90 days of your arrival in the USA

Adogbejiomoefe:

Not true.

She can file, and her mum (who appears to be willing, based on information available) can file as joint-sponsor provided she (or both of them combined) meet the income requirement of 125% over the poverty limit.

And no, as long as they meet that requirement, her not working does not reduce the chances of the petitioning approved, as long as they can prove they are legally and genuinely married

Beautyaddy:

Being a dependent on her mom reduces the chances of the immigrant visa she's going to file for you being approved.

You are right, but take it easy with the tone of your response.

Only one other thing I will add here. Based on what I see above, this is more than a family of four. That number appears to be the minimum as he says "she has other children". Not sure if he is referring to the lady or her mum.

If it is her mum, as long as they are not dependent on her, its fine.

You can take the chance and apply for an NIV.
Who knows, you might get it, if you can overcome the huge hurdle ahead you.
My advise would be for you to get her to file the IV petition, then apply for your NIV

Oyinola87:
morning everyone,
Please if I have uploaded my passport photograph on the ds-160 form, do I still need to take a passport photograph along? I am doing drop box.. thank you very much.

Yes, 2 current passport photos

Beautyaddy:

Google is your friend. I suggest you read extensively then come back and tell me what I know. Even if the babymama doesn't work. So far the co-sponsor works and makes the minimum required for sponsorship, then no problem.

Did I insult or denigrate her in any manner?? Please point to where I did.
