Well, right now there's around a seven and a half year waiting period, so May 2021? The dates will shift a little along the way. You can monitor the cut-off dates at http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/law-and-policy/bulletin.html .

If you wish to continue with the case, you should contact NVC and ask them to reinstate the case.

Good morning,

This thread is for immigrant visa questions only. And the non-immigrant visa thread is for general questions, not questions about individual cases.

hello visa officer. I am a Nigerian got married to us citizen. me and my wife wants to send off the petition but it looks like we having a small problem concerning the affidavits my cousin signed for us to be a third party to our wedding anniversary. in the affidavit there was a wrong use of words..like a typo error. my wife showed it to a lawyer in US the lawyer said it could delay our petition. the question I want to ask is that.. is the affidavit compulsory and what other documents do we need to add with our form i130 when sending it off to USCIS. thanks.

This is just my personal opinion: I don't think you need to include the affidavit at all. We don't really take affidavits into account because let's face it, anyone can swear an affidavit for anything. In fact, if all someone has to show is a bunch of affidavits about something that happened in the past, that's usually a bad sign. Please review http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-130instr.pdf to see what sort of documents they're looking for.

VisaOfficer:

Yes, if the case is in termination status and you wish to reinstate it, you must let NVC know.

Good morning VO,and thank you very much for the great work you're doing here,howbeit pro bono.
I'm asking this question with respect to a brother who's fiance is a USC, and about filing for a fiance (K-1)visa. The question is that is it possible to do an engagement ceremony after obtaining the visa so that family members can be present,and then they go and have the white wedding in the States. And if that does not nullify the visa,thanks.

Good morning V.O,
Please I just want to ask if you have helped me with the investigation. Sorry for bothering you.
Case number: LGS2014677037

If the engagement ceremony is a traditional wedding, yes, it nullifies the visa. The visa is to be used by a person who is not married. It's not enough to be unmarried on the day the visa is issued; the person must still be unmarried when the visa is used to enter the United States.

No bother, but the officer handling that case is at another office today and tomorrow, so I can't follow up until Monday. Sorry about that.

Thanks VO for your response. I know the issue of traditional wedding has been trashed time and again here. The family of the would - be husband are looking at having a small ceremony say devoid of payment of bride price and the paraphernalia of a 'typical' traditional wedding ceremony,will this be accommodated?or they should just forget about the entire idea,thanks.

its Okay V.O.I'd wait monday is almost here.thanks for your help.

I think they should use the visa first, then hold the ceremonies. That way there won't be any misunderstandings.

I appreciate your quick response.
If i get married and have kids while this application is pending, will it affect the whole process?

Pretyme:

Yes. Unless your petitioning parent becomes an American citizen, getting married will render your petition invalid. There is no immigration category for married children when the petitioner is a Legal Permament Resident.

If you are unmarried and have children, though, your children can be included in your case.

Thanks VO,I really appreciate. Will pass the message across.

VisaOfficer:


It could be a problem. How did you book an appointment if we haven't sent you the instructions yet? If your case doesn't arrive before your interview date, we won't be able to interview you....

Mam, I am so sorry to be bothering you on this, its just all about been sure and programming my time and booking flight for my fiance.

My fiance contacted your consulate via email stating my case # LGS2015569044 and she got this response:

According to our records, he is scheduled to come in for the K-1 visa interview: April XX, 2015 by X:00AM.

Please does this mean you have the case now?

Sorry to disturb you ma

Evening pls I want to apply for passport for myself and my 1year old son and I will like to know the appropriate place to make it, price and requirements

Hi maam,
My mom had her interview today but at the end of the interview, my original baptismal card and birth certificate that were sent to the NVC were not returned to her. How do i get those back. Thanks
Case number: LGS2014695023

VisaOfficer:


Yes, if the case is in termination status and you wish to reinstate it, you must let NVC know.

hello again, thanks for always answering. I had called NVC and ask for my case status and told me that they are waiting for the submission of all the documents needed. and thats all NVC told me.

VisaOfficer:


Your mother has been outside the United States for more than a year. Thus, she has abandoned her Legal Permanent Resident status, and the petition she filed for you is invalid. She herself would need a visa to return to the U.S., if she ever intends to do so.

(Just a note for anyone else in this situation: We do check these things, so it's in everyone's best interest not to attempt to conceal them at the interview.)

thank you for your response. please what do you suggest we do to re-validate the petition?

Wrong thread. Please ignore.

The passport should be available for pickup today. The best thing to do is to call the collection center and see if they're ready for you.

No, it means we can see that you scheduled an interview for yourself. Please don't book a flight until you have your visa in your hands.
