VisaOfficer: Dearest VO, Thanks a lot for your responses so far. However I am about to ask a follow up question if u don't mind?. 1) I'm very concerned about the ten year wait period cos that's a long time plus the fear of my niv visa not being renewed pending the outcome of my petition.i know a couple of people that have been denied visas cos of a pending petition even though they had made previous us trips. What's the reason for d denial and how do I guard against it? 2) who would you advice to file for me, my mum or sister? 3) as much as we don't pray to lose loved ones, what happens if the petitioner dies in the process? I promise not to ask any further questions..... except ur response demands some that's presuming you respond o. Thanks in anticipation. |

supasta: Greetings VisaOfficer What will jeopardize her chances is if she attempts to hide her prior visa application, as her photo and fingerprints are certainly in our computer system. She should use the name that appears on her passport, and be prepared to explain that she is separated but not yet divorced. |

vtdluv: Hello Vo, No one should ever buy a ticket before the visa has been issued and handed over. All sorts of things can delay printing. It's possible that new information has come to light, or that there is some sort of technical difficulty keeping your case from being printed. Without knowing the details of your case, I can't tell you if we will be able to issue the visa quickly or not. 2 Likes |

veritas10: Ask as many questions as you like! 1. There are many reasons for denials and I really can't tell you, based on the information you've shared, how I think things would go in your case. We often issue non-immigrant visas to people with pending immigrant petitions, as long as we believe they will abide by the terms of the visa. Every case is different. 2. It's faster if your mother files for you. 3. Unfortunately, when a petitioner passes away, the petition is usually rendered invalid. There are a very few exceptions but none that would apply in this case. Here's hoping no one reading this ever has to confront that situation. If your mother and sister have the financial means, I suppose each of them could file an I-130 for you; that way, if, heaven forbid, one of the petitions become invalid, the other would still be active. |

Good Job so far VO. Please I want your advice on this; my son is an american citizen but he's still a baby. Our intentions is for him to go back to the US when he's ready to start a prep school and at least I will like the mother to be able to stay with him over there to cater for his needs. In my opinion, I don't think she can do that with a non-immigrant visa. What in your opinion do you suggest we can do to achieve this? Anything you advice is alright by me. Thank you so much. |

You can explain what happened with the agent, but you would have a hard time explaining why you procured a passport with an incorrect date of birth. |

Unfortunately, there's no visa category for mothers who want to stay in the U.S. while their sons are in school. She could apply for a non-immigrant visa and plan to visit him frequently, but I don't believe there's a way to accommodate the plan you currently have. |

Dear VO, appreciate your good work here. I have a question. I am married, I did the wedding in a church where I was issued a wedding certificate. It's the official certificate from the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The issue here is that, I have seen other wedding certificates from friends which is also the same with mine, but mine does not have a stamp from the court, because they did court marriage. Is mine valid? Although, my spouse and I have every prove and can convincingly defend our relationship as a bonafide one. I am just worried that mine doesn't carry stamp. What do you think? Thanks. |

achi_cares: @visaofficer, is it possible that a scanned data page of my int'l passport can be to get me a visa? A recruitment agency in US, asked me to scan the data page of my int'l passport to get me a visa over there. It sounds like it might be a scam. No one can give you a visa without putting it into your actual passport, and you shouldn't be able to get a visa at all without walking into an Embassy or Consulate yourself with your passport in your hand. I advise you to Google the name of the recruitment agency and the word "scam" to see what comes up. |
