Anyone with experience using a joint sponsor

Family or friend

I've been reading that once you sponsor you are financially responsible for that beneficiar/applicant beneficiar/applicant for their immigration life

Not true.

The immigrant is not expected to receive most kind of US government assistance at least for five years.

Hey pretty16 you made it congrats .

Sorry to hear about your flight delay especially with kids but hey your long wait is finally over. Hope you're settling down well?

Thanks ttmacoy. Yes Indeed. Thank God. But it's our naija ppl and their matter that baffles me.
Ppl vexing, that I did not tell them I was travelling. Really? Even the ones wey no know say I dey exist before come dey vex. I should be going round and be announcing to the whole world that I am travelling out ooo. Like as of telling them would have made any difference, or payed for my flight ticket? Human beings are funny. Especially our African peeps.

Stancima:

Wow! Kpele my dear. Thank God it all ended well.
Welcome to the US.

Thanks Stancima

I've gone through this entire thread, and boy; it wasn't easy.
Anyway, I just wanted to ask, must one submit the police clearance certificate during NVC, processing.
I know its a must for interview, just wanted to know if its a must during NVC.

No it's not

Wilsub:

No it's not

Okay, thanks a lot

Okedike:
pls I have a question, for how long did you waited before you were called for interview after d whole process

Am not sure I get your question right, but if you are referring to the entire process from filing of petition to obtaining an immigrant Visa interview appointment, then mine took about 7years.

Yes you must submit scanned copies of your police clearance certificate and your finger print page to NVC. Mine was 3 pages in all. And you will take the originals with you to your interview. If it's expired before your interview you will need to update

Hello my people. Happy independence. God bless Nigeria. I want to travel with my child for a relative's decoration ceremony. I have a job that earns me 150k monthly. Haven't travelled out in 4 years. Being refused twice, though i was told i can apply again. I have been filed for. Please kindly advise me on what to do.

During my processing I didn't submit any police certificate, the only I submitted was the one I did when I went for the interview, but that was in 2012, maybe the process has changed.

Well if u do, it saves you the stress of not bringing it during your interview. But if your police certificate has passed 1yr after your interview date, then u need to get another. Cos police certificate is valid for 1yr. But it's best y submit a PC to them at the NVC stage.

Am not a guru, but based on my own experience It possible you apply for a b1/b2 visa and you are granted. I and my family applied for it last year and we were granted, although I stated it in my form while filling online that I have an ongoing petition.

Thank you

They have already sent me a mail requesting for it. Just submitted the other documents less than two weeks ago

Congratulations. Believe it , it has been done. Your visas would be printed. all will be well.

Hey guys. So we received our greencards today. I thank God, cos it was so fast. We had paid the greencard fee 21st of August, some days after my interview, and we arrived 16th of Sept. But 1st son's own didn't come. Guess it was the dispatch. Will wait for it though. Hopefully my social security will come now, cos I had called i'mmigration last week to correct my middle name which the SS officer said they had written 2wice and that left my social security card pending till the correction is made. If I wait till Friday I no see am, will be at their office on Monday morning.

@ Oladeep how far? Hope u have received your greencard? If you haven't, pls try to put a call through to them. You will get their toll free no on their website, might be an error causing the delay. It could take about 20 to 25mins, before a representative can answer your call, but it's worth the wait

Hello All. I've been a silent follower. It's just been interesting reading the comments of everyone here.
For those who paid their Green card fee in Nigeria before leaving and now living in the States, How long did it take to receive your Social Security and Green Card and how did you get busy before then?
And also for those who paid after arriving in the States?

My social security came exactly 2 weeks after I arrived. I had to go to their office to apply. It came like 3 days after I went to apply. Green card came in d mail 3 weeks after I got in. I paid the day I left Nigeria. You can process your state ID/drivers license while you wait.

[quote author=tj28 post=71882541][/quote]

Thank you tj28. Which of States do you live in. I'm thinking it may depend on the state.
I went to dmv and i was told to get my social security first.
I then went to social security and i was told it's going to arrive in the mail with my green card since i got here in CR1 visa.
I've been waiting like kilode since then. Can't drive. Can't do nothing.

You are welcome. We are here to help each other. Creating this thread was equally a blessing to me.

On your question all you need to do is to contact NVC via email to update your Case. Remember to type in your case number, beneficiary name, date of birth, petitoners name, date of birth before proceeding with ur request to add your family to your case.

Thank you.
