This sounds like family based IV application.I personally don't know much about the requirements but I think most have to be gotten by the petitioner from the US agencies.But if some are needed from the applicant in Nigeria,then the ffg may help;

I.Insurance policies/deeds/income tax returns/social security records/census records/family bible entries:I don't think this is popular in this part of our world.

2.Govt id papers: U can go for the National ID card.

3.Passports: U can get this easily

4.Tax card:I think u can go to internal revenue to get a e-tax card if employed.

5.Records of family records: Pictures can help in this regard and also for residence.

I hope this helps a bit.

felixfelix: Tank u so much, ur response was highly professional. I thought as much that most of d requirements are not peculiar to us but the petitioner herself. I've taken note of ur directions. I shall forward it to the concerened person. Hope u've done ur own interview? God bless.

Dekonjay: Anyone in the house heading to Dallas, Texas? For everyone that has had their visa issued, how are preparations going? As for me, I'm finding it hard to make up my mind on what to take along with me and what to leave behind. When you have to take only 60kg from all your personal belongings it gets really hard.
I would also like to suggest we keep this forum alive by posting our preparation and travel experience here since we lost the other thread. What do you all think about the idea?

Dekonjay: @ Felixfelix, I'm glad you like the idea. From what I have been able to gather you are allowed to carry foodstuff as long as they are dried. For example:


Egusi, ogbonor, Local Crayfish, Okporoko, Mangara, Dried fish, Ukazi, Oha, Ugwu ,Kuli Kuli, Fufu, Groundnut Oil, Palm Oil, Egusi, Garri, Pepper – soup condiments, Beans, Atanla (red hot chilli pepper) and many more

Make sure your Egusi is well blended dried and well wrapped.
Do not travel with wet food items. Usually, wet food stuff can contain organisms not native to the US. Chicken is prohibited because of Bird Flu and beef because of Mad Cow disease.
Palm oil is allowed but only in small quantity and should be in branded packages if possible.
Dried/smoked fish should be properly wrapped also in order to avoid unpleasant odours.

Personally, I won't be carrying any of those items as you can easily get them to buy over there ( even though they may be quite expensive or not as fresh as you may want) and luckily for me my host ( who is my aunty) says she has enough of those. Will be getting her some other gift item though.
We booked our tickets this morning. We will be flying BA next Thursday.

felixfelix: Wow! My Doc, I salute with honour! u are going to be missed here o! Already missing u sha. @Adeboy if u search with Detroit wayne county airport where I will eventually land it is cheaper than what we've been seeing. With this Qatar air ways gives u like $950-$1,400 depending on d date. Thus, wd be booking by next wk.Tanks 4 d assistance.More favours ahead.

marymary14: Thanks for the insight. It's such a relief...what about personal items?

Interesting, very interesting, well i'm not surprised to say the least and i'm so glad that the fraudster was rumbled.

Some of them here pray and call for monthly praying and fasting but at the same time very dubious.

Thanks for your excellent work here VO.

Adeboy007:

short and detailed, thanks so much for taking your time bringing out this.. it will goes along way..

About the CHICKEN you mention, if chicken is prohibited then other things like MAGGI NORR CHICKEN and Indomie (Chicken) will not be allowed either... thanks once again am very sure people like chijen2, Laggy, Shaddy, ewhoma, Cute, jummyspecial, etc can tell you exactly how you will package your belongings and what is necessary to be taking along with you.

thank you

cute2014: Also to the preceeding lists,u may want to add:

Bottled groundnuts,Semolina,pap,snail(fried),hair attachments like Expressions,and Medicines like antimalarials and broad spectrum antibiotics.Also Robb and/or Aboniki balm.

For those with kids:Their backpack should contain cereals(dried),powdered milk,bread(toast) with a spread,bowl,apples,cookies (u'll get hot water in the plane)and a jacket.This is necessary if the airline serves an unfamiliar food.I can just imagine the twins when they eat,whatever they've eaten and no matter how late they must still step down with Golden morn cereal.Lol!

Also; u may want to do both ur natioanl drivers' licence and the int'l driver's licence as it depends on the state u are going to.LEARN HOW TO DRIVE BEFORE TRAVELLING!!!

As for graduate school;u need to do ur transcripts,some did via WES,don't av much details as it does not apply to me.

For women; Learn how to make hair.I am taking 1-2hrs on days I'm not on call to do this as my almost 6years' old girl is so fashion conscious when it comes to hair so I nd to be able to keep up wt her and also save money.

Also don't run down ur electronic gadgets' battery down,sm1 mentioned ds but do not know why.

marymary14: Due to recent threat in terrorism,the United States has put up some measures to curb it, thus they'll require every traveller to power up electronic devices eg: phones,laptops and all other devices they require.. failure to do so will result in confiscation of gadgets or deportation... as for the medication @cute2014 do we not require some form of prescription?

marymary14: For those travelling with Qatar airways, I will recommend you ask for SPTC at you point of booking... make sure you do it 72 hours prior to the departure time. With the SPTC, You'll be taken care of in Doha irrespective of your flight class, with the 8 hours stopover. Hope this helps.
