What's your interview date?

The new rule is you MUST have your NIN number to renew your passport.

My advice for you is to find anyone who works with NIMC Abuja as that's where the DOB correction is being done from their back end server. Pls don't take this with levity as it takes almost 6 months to get them fix it.
You'll have to send the person in Abuja your DOB in process slip you were given at Alausa to help you fast track it(You'll definitely pay for it to be done asap).
Good luck.

Somebody should explain this to me! Does it mean that even if you hold a valid immigrant visa but arrive after 21st, you’ll be affected?

I'm not a legal expert but I think it doesnt affect those who hold a valid immigrant who are arriving after 21st. This is because of the word "and". That is, the reason why one woild be denied entry is if he or she is outside the States, have no valid visa and does not qualify for a visa. Once he or she has a valid visa OR is already in the States OR qualifies for visa on entry then the rule doesnt affect the person.

Please I will like to know if anybody has experienced spelling error on their approved immigrant visa and was asked to returned to DHL for correction? Are you notified when your returned passport get to the embassy and how long did it take the embassy to notify you to pick your passport back at DHL. Prompt response will be appreciated. Thanks

Mine was ready in 5 business working days(with weekend makes it 1week)but the norm is within 10 working days(max) it ll be ready,keep tracking once it reads issued you can go pick it up or put a call through to ustraveldocs after 5days to check status of the visa(if the status when tracking is not changing)once it reads issued go pick it up,cos pick up email&texts comes in rather late @times for some pple

they've not sent it yet but I think it's ready, we've not called to get it though, so many people with same NOA1 date as mine on vj have theirs already, this ban really stole the fun away from the process for me. I'm still hopeful and positive

Okay. We all have to stay positive. By next week we should know how the embassy is going to handle it. It’s not a crime to be with our loved ones so God will make a way.

You don't pay any additional amount for the EAD. The $1225 for the AOS is all you need to pay. The EAD and AP is free when you file all 3 together.

Just file your Form I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status), Form I-765 (Application for Employment Authorization) and Form I-131 (Application for Travel Document) together.

Hmmm. Well K1 is a non immigrant visa but it allows for immigration if/when you get married within 90days of entry. At this point we need to wait and see what the US embassy in Nigeria says in their statement which they are yet to release.

Hello everyone. Is it still possible to file for K1 visa after this ban?
