Yaay. Congrats bro. How long after C.C. do u think they schedule interview date. ?

Two months after one's PD gets current. I think the first month is for medicals and the following month is for an interview...I think u should get yours soonest cos your category moves fastest among the FB categories.

Did u say 2months after PD gets current. My PD is July 2011. Gosh and they are still on Dec 2010.
If not for the retrogression, am sure by now mY case would have been current. I really hope and pray we get an interview date before my moms 60th bday next year. Cos said no celebration without us, especially her grandkids.

The waiting is killing for dis family based visas. Expecially F3 and F4.

Hopefully ur PD should be current btw 3-4months time. U should get an interview date in 6months max. I still have 4months to go for my PD to be current. The most important thing is having being placed on queue for an interview. I hope d bulletin moves faster in d coming months...

I think once you have received a letter,The process then goes faster probably within a year because my mum did the same time.You might only experience little delay if you should go for interview and they have doubt about your relationship with person that filed.Then both parties will have to provide DNA test which normally takes another 3 to 4 month.The longest waiting period is while waiting for your petition which elapse to about more than 10 years depending on the petitioner.

Oladeep:
Sorry I meant it retrogressed to May 2010. Yes, the September VB was released yesterday. lol, u have only waited for 6years nah.....what of me that have waited for 13years and still waiting o!...the wait is killing though

The funniest thing is that so many people leave their life and daily activities hanging while waiting for this Visa of a thing...I can imagine 14 years and still waiting..That sucks !!

Lol, @ Godson, if u live your life just waiting for the visa to be ready, it will take forever. But if u get yourself busy, especially in the area of work, making money, u won't even believe when it arrives.

Hi chokey419. Thanks for joining. Congrats on ur successful interview. Are u also on fb1. Don't mind me, am just so anxious since we got the welcome letter and sent all our docs to NvC, been waiting for about 5weeks Now and they said wait 11wks. What year is ur priority date, mine is 2011. Then ur medicals how did it go. Am thinking of using The children's practice on Raymond Njoku of cos thats after I must have gotten an interview date. Pls just share your general experience with us. Plus how did the interview go as well? Hope u weren't so nervous.

Where do you live? Back then we used kamoras Clinic located at the back of Adeola Odeku,If you live in Lagos,I think US Embassy prefer them or St Nicolas.

Congrats on getting case complete confirmation .

As part of your documents to the NVC did you submit your long form birth certificate?

If not my advice will be to secure it before you go for your interview if not it may result in a request for more documents from the embassy.

For some reason the NVC did not pick this up in my case and at the embassy insisted I provide the long form birth certificate which up until that point I didn't even know existed.

Hi everyone. So its been a while I posted here. We got our case complete email on the 29th of sept. To God be the glory. Am just so happy that my mom sent in all the required documents and they didn't have to request additional documents, cos I hear that causes delays too. Hoping and praying to get an interview date soon.

yeah the process becomes faster d moment one receives welcome letter. unfortunately, one still has to wait for d PD to be current before one can be schedule for an interview even after getting a CC from NVC

Thank you. By long form birth certificate, do you mean the birth certificate from the National population commission? Cos that's the one I know they recognize.

I live in Ikeja. Yea. Back then they used to use Kamoras, cos I remember that was where my mum did her medicals. But now they use Q life or The Children's Practice.

I already received welcome letter and gotten a case complete from NVC. I'm just waiting for my PD to get current and get schedule for an interview....

Yes that is correct. I didn't even know that version existed and went with the smaller one we get from the hospital. I had to go and get the national population commission version and post to the embassy before I was issued my visa.

If you already have it then you're good to go, if not try to get it before the interview.

Bro, u mean Embassy will not accept d birth certificate that was issued at birth at d hospital on d day of interview? Mine was issued at a fee of #1naira then and is d one used for d filing. It's old and I had to even laminate it before it completely torn apart.

Yes. I already have that. The smaller one from the national population commission are birth certificate for kids. But the bigger one is for adults. My kids have theirs and I have mine. We scanned all and sent to them. I have the original copies that I will take with me once its time for interview. Thanks for the heads up.

Nope Oladeep, they don't ooo. U have to go to National population commission. I think the office is in surulere to get it. You also have to go with your passport photograph and some money. Back then it was 2500, but if u want it express, u pay higher. You also need a sworn affidavit from your mum to take with u to their office to get it. Don't know if they still request for that though. Got mine as far back as 2009. The certificate looks like this : Attestation of birth

Alright thanks...but wait, someone said it's acceptable if one is born before 1992...how true is dis?

That's good, i didn't know about the long form one and the NVC approved my application using the smaller one only for me to get to the interview and was asked to provide the lingform version. Only resulted in a few fees delay while I had tk sort out from Nigeria but better to avoid.

Glad you already have it and good luck with the wait till you are current.

Yes the embassy will only accept the long form issued by the national population commission so you should try to get it from a local government before your interview. It isn't hard to get.

Doesn't it mean u still have to wait for two more years to be scheduled for an interview? Do u think F4 folks who're married with children and haven't added the kids are dulling themselves? My guy's PD is August 24 2007. I understand it's three more years for him.
