VisaOfficer:


Sounds like a question for our call center: +234 414 40 62 18 or email at support-nigeria@ustraveldocs.com .

VisaOfficer:


You never had a government-issued birth certificate? May I ask why not?

VisaOfficer:


Don't worry about your petition expiring. The Consular officer has the authority to extend the petition's validity until such time as you manage to appear for an interview. It's okay if the appointment you set up comes after the expiration date of the petition.

VisaOfficer:


No, someone else can go for you, but it's best to write a note stating that so-and-so is dropping off documents for your case, LGSXXXxxxxxx. If you received a drop-off letter or an e-mail you can print out, I'd give them a copy of that, too.

christyox:
Hello Visa Officer, I just came across this page and i see it very helpful. I just received an email from NVC on my filing by my sister(US citizen), to proceed with the 6 Steps. I really want to know which documents an applicant needs to submit after payment and also do i send the documents to them or to my sister since she is the agent selected. I have the photocopy of passport, Original police report and original birth certificate, please confirm if I need any other document showing where i work and proof of address. Again how long does it take from here before i get a visa appointment. Your urgent response would be appreciated. Thank you

Felz:


Thanks for the advice, its been resolved, please how do I know when an appointment is available for a K1, there are no appointment currently.

Hi. I need to understand the meaning of material misrepresentation. Several years ago, I went to the embassy for student's visa. Then forms were paper based. I was given some forms to fill and one of them was for family information. I didn't have contact details of some of my family members. One of them live in US and the other live in Nigeria and so I omitted them. However, in my subsequent ones, I included all because I had their contact details, please is that material misrepresentation. I was even expecting the visa officer at the interview to ask why some family names didn't appear in my first application, but he never asked. I always feel that probably that my later information have overwritten the old one.

Because at the time of my birth, it was only birth hospital certificate that was obtainable.

Please will the attestation of bith be accepted?

debbyAde:


Thank you ma'am, appreciate. I called the embassy today and I was told that my fiance ought to have received an instruction although I don't know if it's from Lagos embassy or NVC buy my fiance hasn't received any message from both sides. Could that be the reason I'm not able to get an appointment or generally there are no appointment available yet for k1. By the way, pls correct the Lagos us embassy you have its is not +234 414406218 the correct number is +234 14406218 I'm sure you mistakenly added one 4 cos it says the number doesn't exist, until that 4 was removed b4 I was able to get through. (you are welcome) . Waiting for you response ma

Thank you.

iMcMuffin:
Hi VisaOfficer, I have a couple of questions but I was wondering if you have an email where I could ask them? I just dont want to spam this threat alot.

If not let me know, I wouldnt mind asking here. Thanks

VisaOfficer:


I don't want to give you bad advice, since I'm no longer in Lagos. Please contact the collection center directly and ask them what document they would require to allow someone to drop documents off for you.

Adamkeyj:
pls VO will nigeria be eligible for this years DVlottery

VisaOfficer:


To repeat, it's extremely unlikely that Nigeria will again become eligible for the Diversity Visa program. Nigeria now sends more than 10,000 immigrants each year to the U.S., and that number continues to grow. It is, technically, possible, but it is not likely. I strongly encourage you not to base your hopes for the future on the Diversity Visa program.

VisaOfficer:


How did you submit the DS-160 without paying the visa fee? Did the Consulate contact you or the petitioner and give you instructions for making a K1 appointment? If not, it sounds like you have jumped the gun.....

Kay213:
Hi VO,
A letter was sent to my fiancee and the letter reads " The National Visa centre receive your fiancé petition from USIC. The NVC will now forward the petition to US consulate in Lagos. Please note it will take several weeks. The US consulate will contact your fiancee when they are ready to process his visa.

This is where i jumped the gun ,
Next step: Go to our website nvc.state.gov/k1

Ma,To cut the long story short, What can i do now ? Any advise will be appreciated. I feel somehow right now…

Good day VO,

We were interviewed last April 22, 2015 (walk in window from April 15-28) under EB3 Philippines category. We were told that there is no VISA NUMBER available. Also they sent us an email right after the interview stating that they cannot process our application because of no visa number available. Also our passports were sent back to us after a month via mail. I am worried about our medical result that is expiring this October 20.

question.

1. why does consulate office announced a window from april 15-28 for those applicants whose documents are ready if they cannot give a visa.
2. if in case we were given a chance to get our visa do we need to leave for the US before our medical results expire?
3. if in case we need to repeat our medical examination what documents do we need to present to St. Lukes Medical Center?

thanks in advance.

MarieEyre:
Yay!!!!!!!!!!! Just got out of the consulate. My fiance visa has been approved! Easy breezy. Can't wait to be with my baby . Thank you VO.
