Hello vo I'm scheduled to have my interview on January and was wondering if my visa could be sent to the DHS office in porthacourt as stated on the website, if it could be sent to porthacourt then are there chances for the visa to be lost during transit because a friend of mine told me that the chances of the visa to be lost during transit from Lagos to porthacourt is high so I want to verify how true this is. Thanks for the great work you are doing here |

Dear VO, Once again thank you for all the efforts in trying to answer and /or clarify certain issues on immigrants visa. Going through many posts in some forums, alot of people are having difficulty in creating/registering their profiles in other to pick up their passports and visa. PLEASE COULD YOU INTIMATE THE CONSULATE ABOUT THE PROBLEM PEOPLE ARE HAVING ON CREATING/REGISTERING THIER PROFILES, SO THAT THEY CAN REVIEW THE PROCESS. 1 Like 1 Share |

Hello, I am a Nigerian schooling in Australia. My wife is an American as we met and married in Australia. Recently, she has been pushing that we relocate to US after my studies. She claims to miss her family so much and can't leave me behind in Australia. For me, Australia is a beautiful country with better wages compared to America. She insists that with my degrees, I'll be fine in America. I do not want to go there on visiting visa. Can I get any other visa type since we are already married. Regards |

Hello everyone I am new on here as someone introduced me here ..Now this is my issue ...An unfortunate incident happened as I got robbed and my passport was stolen with my ATM cards .. I went to the nearest police station to make a police report and avidavict as I was adviced to get a new passport before proceeding to the consulars office to make a report .A day to the new passport to be out , I got a call from the police that my passport has been recovered with other stolen items( Note: I haven't reported at the embassy yet) .. so I went to the immigration office and told them my passport has been recovered and asked if I need to go to the embassy again .. I was told that I don’t need to go the embassy that all they(immigration) will need to do is to put a cancellation on my old passport without tampering with my US valid visa on it since I got a new passport. I asked why? And I was told that Holding two valid passports will give me a problem, so in order to avert that , they will need to cancel my old passport but not the valid visa on it.So i was told that I will need to hold both my new passport and old passport while traveling (Note: I was told that a valid visa in an expired or canceled passport is still valid which I also did some few google search and saw that it's true)..so I want to ask if this is right and won’t give me a problem at the US POE ? Thanks |

@LagosNIV ... I had to reframe my question sir/ma Hello .. I have a lost but found passport containing my Us valid visa. I was robbed and I made I made a report to the police immediately and headed to the immigration to get an emergency passport reissued. I was called by the Police the third day that my passport has been recovered. So I headed to the immigration office to inform them that my passport has been recovered only to get there and meet my reissued passport out. So I was told that they will need to cancel my old passport without predujice and return it back to me since it still contains my Valid Us visa. So I was told I will have to be travel with the new passport and the old passport. Note: I NEVER REPORTED MY PASSPORT STOLEN TO THE US EMBASSY because I found it already. Now my question is hope I won't encounter any problem traveling with the two passport ? Because my travel date is so very close. |

Good morning VO, Good morning, It sounds like you are asking about the merits of filing for an immigrant visa over a nonimmigrant visa at this time. We cannot provide advice to applicants on such matters and I cannot comment on the NIV process. Please be aware that applicants who are traditionally married in Nigeria are considered married for the purposes of U.S. immigration and as such may not be issued fiance visas. These applicants are informed that they should file for spouse visas through USCIS. I hope this is helpful. Regards, VO |

djfrancis: Good afternoon, While prior nonimmigrant visa applications may be reviewed during the immigrant visa adjudication, prior refusals in NIV are not necessarily relevant to that adjudication, as immigrant visa decisions are made based on the relationship between the petitioner and the beneficiary. The U.S. consulate is not involved in the filing of petitions. Petitions must be filed in the United States with USCIS and the filing process can be longer or shorter for a variety of reasons unrelated to the visa class. As such, we cannot comment on the relative lengths of time for different petitions. Regards, VO 1 Like |

SDG1: Good afternoon, First, the immigrant visa interview is not an interview for a green card; it is an interview for a visa. Green cards are issued in the United States by USCIS after an immigrant has entered the United States and filed the proper paperwork and paid the relevant fees. In terms of the questions the officer may ask, it depends. Remember that the immigrant visa adjudication is based on the claimed relationship between the petitioner and the beneficiary. As such, an applicant can generally be expected to answer questions about this relationship. Regards, VO 3 Likes |

Naaakua: Good afternoon, I believe the first and third part of this question were answered already (the person in question posted earlier). For part 2, if a spouse was married before, the individual will need to provide evidence that the marriage was terminated. And we're happy to hear that this forum was helpful for you and your spouse when you went through the process. Regards, VO |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by VisaOfficer: 2:18pm On Dec 14, 2017 |
djfrancis: Good afternoon, My understanding is that we do not process K3 visas at the consulate at this time. As previously noted, nonimmigrant visas and immigrant visas are adjudicated with different considerations in mind so prior B1/B2 refusals may not necessarily have a negative impact on the adjudication. Immigrant visas are adjudicated based on the claimed relationship between the petitioner and the beneficiary. As for the length of time it takes for a petition to be filed, approved, and scheduled for an interview, it depends on a number of factors. As such, it is impossible to state with specificity how long the different processes would take. Regards, VO 1 Like |

Rol3nd: Good afternoon, It sounds like this is a question regarding paperwork that the National Visa Center will accept. You should direct your inquiry to their offices. |

lambaprince: Good afternoon, When your petition is considered documentarily complete by the National Visa Center, they will schedule an appointment for you. You do not necessarily need to interview in Nigeria if you are living in the Philippines. You should make sure to contact the NVC and let them know your current residence for scheduling purposes.

chinwe12: Good afternoon, Immigrant visas may only be collected at the GSS Document Collection Center in Lagos. If you cannot come to Lagos, you may fill out a proxy form to have another person collect it for you. Regards, VO 1 Like |
