akinmax: So, wait, why would you get a new passport if it's your marriage certificate that's incorrect? Is your date of birth incorrect on both your passport and your marriage certificate? And it's different on both documents? You should present us a passport that shows your correct date of birth. It's more important for your passport to be correct than your marriage certificate. You can always explain to the officer that the date on the certificate is incorrect, but you shouldn't present an identity document like a passport if you know it's not accurate. |

Joani: 1. Either of you, but it's probably easier for your mom to do it. 2. Yes. USCIS likes people to pay before they travel. They won't issue your green card until the fee is paid. 3. No idea. I only know about the things that happen outside the U.S. |

I had to take lots of beverage to understand this. Its clearer now though. So no spill overs from previous years. One more question please, a friend wants to know what happens if a USCIS RFE is submitted 2days after the deadline? What's your take on this? |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by VisaOfficer: 11:21am On Jul 28, 2015 |
damabib: The case is still under administrative processing. Hopefully it'll be resolved soon. Thanks! |

Aburoy: Did the beverage involve caffeine or alcohol? I don't know what USCIS's policy is with late responses. I'd imagine they're pretty strict, though. |

Hahaha. Naaa, I believe in the words/law of wisdom n health. Hence I don't do alcohol nor caffeine. Thanks maam, I will communicate same to my friend. Just as u advised me sometime back to write USCIS asking for an extension which worked for me, I could tell him to do same, so they are in d picture of what's happening or do u think otherwise? Have a blessed day. God bless. |

Good day, Ma'am. Thank you for your continuous assistance to us on this forum, even when we appear impatient NVC has contacted me about your approval of my expedited request. Thank you again for that. So are they going to schedule my wife's interview from here in the US or send the case to you for scheduling in Lagos? Respectfully, A loving husband |

Hello Sir/Ma'am, I am a US Permanent Resident, though a Nigerian Citizen. I have applied to remove the conditions on my permanent residency - the application has been sent in prior to the expiration of my two-year permanent residency card - and I am presently in Nigeria. I want to go back home to the US. Can I apply for a boarding foil to go back, and if so, what are the processes and requirements? |

kennydree: It depends how long you've been outside the U.S. If you left less than 12 months ago, you can apply for a boarding foil; if more than 12 months, you should apply for Returning Resident status, which is more complicated and more expensive. Either way, you can ask for an appointment by e-mailing LagosIV@state.gov. (I keep trying to attach the instruction documents here, but my computer won't let me....) |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by MarieEyre: 3:21pm On Jul 28, 2015 |
The NVC haven't been taking calls since yesterday How do I know when the file gets to Nigeria? NVC received our case last week Monday. We don't know if we have a case number yet. I guess I'll just focus on the consulate here in Nigeria, sigh. Can you give an estimate of when the US embassy here contacts the beneficiary when the file is in. or do we need to have our case number to follow up? Thank you. |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by VisaOfficer: 3:24pm On Jul 28, 2015 |
MarieEyre: As soon as we receive the file from NVC, we'll contact the petitioner with instructions about making an appointment for an interview. In the meantime, have you been to our website? There's good information for fiance(e)s at http://nigeria.usembassy.gov/immigrant_visa_forms.html . |

Hi VO! My fiance just called me that he got through to the NVC! Our case was since sent on the 22 of JULY. I just checked our status and it says ready for interview when scheduled at the US consular section. I'm so excited! I've opened the link you sent and I'll print off the documents at work while I wait for the Consulate to contact me! Is there any other thing I need to do while I wait? I love you VO! VisaOfficer: |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by kennydree: 4:07pm On Jul 28, 2015 |
VisaOfficer: Thanks so much for your prompt response. Sorry I forgot to mention that. It's been less than 2 (two) months - I actually left sometime last month. But the card expired on June 22. Is there a link to the documents, as an alternative? I'm a bit confused from the information on the US Embassy Nigeria website. When I request the interview and get one via the email, is there a list of documents that I need to bring along? Looking forward to receiving the documents. |
