VisaOfficer:


Hmm. When we receive waiver approval notifications, we update the case notes and contact the beneficiaries... so I don't know why you haven't been contacted. Could you e-mail us at LagosIV@state.gov and mention your case number and Nairaland (so it gets forwarded appropriately)?

eoc4ever:



Its just so frustrating been placed on administrative review without knowing how long it takes. The long process at USCIS and NVC stages was enough to kill and now going on Administrative review is torturing. If it was possible for me and my spouse to have spent enough time together he would have done it but his present situation won't make that possible which i explained to the CO but she insisted on putting our case on AP, the whole situation is affecting my spouse's health and i don't want something bad to happen. Am sorry for ranting, i just can't hold my emotions.

We did submitted the contact sheet on Friday and we didn't receive any email telling us of any further step. Please ma kindly help us check if the contact sheet has been added to our case. LGS2014643058. Please ma, am sure if you take a look at our file you will be able to tell us the next step or give us an estimate of how long we have to wait.

justwise:


UPDATE!!!


The VO is having internet connecting problem and will be back as soon as the problem is sorted out. There is no fixed date to this but she will be back.

Thank you.

JASM:
Hi VisaOfficer,

I am new to nairaland and have been monitoring this thread for a couple of weeks now before joining. I never thought I would have to post on here asking for assistance, but at this point I don't know what to do.

... I'm not sure what the status of our case is at this point. From what I understand he wasn't told it was denied, but I don't think it was approved either. When I check the website it says "Administrative Processing" which I know is the status of the case after the interview. If possible, would you mind checking on our case when you have a moment to let me know the decision reached by the consulate? LGS2014774001.

I'm hoping for guidance in either way the decision has gone. We are willing to take whatever the next steps are, but at this point I don't know who I should be contacting. I apologize for the lengthy entry and I look forward to your reply.

Thank you

Hello good afternoon to you ma,

My name is Mrs Flora Jean Olasupo a US Citizen and a petitioner of a Nigerian spouse, I am very new on here my husband asked me to join the forum to read people's Immigration experiences or in case I have any questions so this will be my first question on the forum, I called NVC last night 14th November and I was told our case is complete but I will like to know how soon he will get a date this is our case number (LGS2013560001) because am planning to travel there during his interview or before, the waiting period is really killing me, I've been crying so much lately I am missing my husband so bad. I was even planning to move there with him or we move somewhere else but now that our case is moving forward we will have to suspend that, the attorney we hired wasted our time and money but we withdrew them anyways so we want to do the final stage ourself. thank you very much ma I will be looking forward to your answer.

Lepetitechic:
Good evening ma. I have been following your thread for a while now finally got the confidence to post lol I want to thank you for your work here on NL from all i have read you really are a huge help to visa applicants worldwide. I came across your thread while trying to find info on the visa process i honestly didn't think the consular officers were allowed to discuss visa issues outside the embassy i thought it was "forbidden" lol well my fiance applied for the k1 visa for me and we got our noa2 September 18th my case number is LGS2014758022. We were asked to get our medicals and police certificate ready before the embassy in Lagos contacts us i am scheduled to do the medicals the 24th and we already have the police certificate. My question is what is our status currently, i am curious and somewhat worried too. thank you Ma for your response.

omotfavy:
May God bless u and ur home.pls i ve a question ma,one of my friends gave birth after her case has left nvc to embassy infact,few weeks to her interview.ow can she bring d baby with her to usa wen she gets her visa nxt month?

mazifavour1:
This I must say its a trailblazing act by the titan woman and the more enlightened once who are helping we green horns on this application of K1 visa n who have selflessly put it upon themselves to help two hearts that beat as one reunit. Well I have something Ma'm and people who are more enlightened than I am on this, that's bothering me and that is what are the documents, both supporting documents to be submitted for K1 visa by the beneficiary. I would want to apply next year. Thank you Ma'm. And do I have to also get my account statement? Please I wish I could be helped here.

[color=#990000][/color]good morning MA, pls help me check if my case has reached Lagos embassy, my case number is lgs2014724019,thanks for your assistance. God bless

VisaOfficer:


Aside from the fact that that petition would have expired years ago, under U.S. law (8 CFR 205.1), upon written notice of withdrawal filed by the petitioner, the approval of an immediate relative or other family-sponsored petition (other than Amerasian petitions) is automatically revoked as of the date of approval, and the petition cannot be reinstated. So the petitioner would need to file a new petition on your behalf.

Greetings VO..
Please I collected my package and passport but I wasn't given a printed copy of my DOS Case ID and A number.

Can the printed copy be mailed to me(isreeal@gmail.com)

Can I use GTB(debit card) to be pay the $165 for USCIS immigrate fee.

Lastly the USCIS immigrate fee Must I Pay before I Travel(just for clarity sake)

Thanks for your understanding. Do have a great day

stevewale:


Mam, I just hope we don't get you tired with our questions ... Many Thanks for your selfless service is all I can say...

I want to take this your above words as a go-ahead to get my police certificate next month even though my K1 case is still pending at USCIS (its over 4 months now thou). I intend to get this ready due to my work schedule which wont permit me have all the time to do all these within a short time because I work in PH and have already spent my annual leave and till November 2015 before I will be due for another one so I think since the Police certificate will last for 1 year as against the 3 months on it. Pls is advisable I do this cos I will have opportunity of going to Lagos for a Friday next month.

Thanks once again

Dear VO,

My husband's interview (LGS2014651001) was November 14 and we were put in administrative processing, but no additional information was requested on the form he was given. I brought my dad, children, stepmom, and cousin to wedding. My husband even met all my family before we married. I have made numerous trips to Nigeria. I am quite confused. My husband did have a previous petition, but it was withdrawn. Is that the problem? Please help me understand what additional information the embassy is looking for in our petition.

Thank you for even taking the time to read my request.

VisaOfficer:


It depends what category of visa she received. She should e-mail us at LagosIV@state.gov and ask if the baby can be included as a derivative in her case.

fasiel:
hey VO tnx.I have questions
1.if I may we can appeal by giving DNA test.the paper that I received said convincing evidence of legitimate relationship
2.if the case is in Nigeria what are the procudures
tnx VO
