kam4r: This is a question for the non-immigrant visa thread. Thanks! |

salma24: It sounds like the medical paperwork didn't make it to the Immigrant Visa Unit. I'd ask the panel physician to send it again -- or, better, get a copy from the panel physician and let the IV Unit know you're ready (or that your fiancé is ready) to drop it off in person. |

iamnewhere: If your case is complete, you should expect a "case complete" notification. If NVC needs more information, you'll receive a checklist. You will probably hear from NVC soon, either way. |

jackson1466: This is the wrong thread for this question for at least two reasons, maybe more. |

Manshiv: Don't worry. This is not a very serious mistake. You or your wife can let the officer know at the interview -- but the officer probably won't even ask. |

adeolu0510: Is the case current? If so, it depends what Lagos's schedule looks like these days and when their next available interview is. |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by VisaOfficer: 12:28am On Sep 22, 2015 |
Vicobaba123: Your visa category is IR1 or CR1, right? If your petition is approved and the case is documentarily complete, it will be scheduled for the next available appointment! (This could take a few months, though. Again, I don't know what Lagos's schedule looks like these days.) |

This sounds interesting yet confusing Typically, which categories would qualify for this early adjustment of status in the Family Based categories? Hope you can get more details soon to share VisaOfficer: 1 Like |

Good morning ma , hope you had a good night rest? Am a little bit worried my case was completed August 12th and till now I have not got my letter for interview. Should I send a mail NVC to complain or I should just wait. My case is IR1.......thanks. |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by iamnewhere: 12:20pm On Sep 22, 2015 |
VisaOfficer: Thank You for your response. I just talked with the NVC yesterday and they were telling a different story. Now they say that my Birth Certificate and Marriage certificate translation is not as per the requirement of NVC where as My Birth certificate is being issued from Govt. Of Pakistan which is both in English and Urdu where as my marriage certificate was translated by a competent authority endorsed by the notary public. One more thing what do NVC means by certified copy isnt the color copy is considered as certified copy? |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by VisaOfficer: 1:20pm On Sep 22, 2015 |
bamakoe: This usually applies to people who are there on student visas, L1s, H2Bs, etc., but not to people who have B1/B2s. For instance, if someone were in the U.S. on a student visa, and while she was there her F2B petition (filed by an LPR parent) became current, she could apply for adjustment of status. On the other hand, entering the U.S. on a B1/B2 non-immigrant visa with the actual intent of adjusting status can lead to a permanent inadmissibility under INA 212(a)(6)(C)(i), material misrepresentation, if it's clear that the applicant lied to a U.S. government official at some point. There are some exceptions, but I'm not going to get into that here because obviously anyone reading this thread does want to immigrate to the U.S., so I'm not motivated to give anyone pointers for sneaking in on a B1/B2. People in the U.S. illegally (including those who have overstayed a B1/B2 or who are no longer in student status) are not eligible to adjust status while in the United States. |

Omenaisunday12: No, this is normal. It can take several months for NVC to schedule a completed case for its interview. |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by VisaOfficer: 1:23pm On Sep 22, 2015 |
iamnewhere: I'm not familiar with documents from Pakistan. That said, are you asking if a color photocopy of a document counts as a certified copy? In that case the answer is no; the photocopy isn't certified just because it's in color. You might try e-mailing the Embassy or Consulate in Pakistan and asking them for clarification -- they know better than I do. Good luck! |

adeolu0510: Then you should be scheduled for the next available interview -- but that could take a few months, depending on Lagos's schedule. |

Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by netflix001: 3:57pm On Sep 22, 2015 |
Good morning ma, Pls ma, I need your advice on my case. I applied twice for a visiting visa to USA and was refused. I stated then that I had a child and a wife in Nigeria which was actually not real. Meanwhile, my wife and daughter are in US and both USC. Now my wife has filed for me and already approved and awaiting to be scheduled for an interview. Please I want to know if this would be a red flag? If yes, please what can I do to get this corrected? God bless you for your help ma. Regards |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by VisaOfficer: 4:09pm On Sep 22, 2015 |
netflix001: Oh, yes, this is a huge red flag. Not once but twice, under oath, you stated that you have a wife and child here in Nigeria. Now someone else is claiming to be your wife. At this point you've established that you're willing to say anything in order to get a visa, and that you're smart enough to tailor your story to the visa category you're applying for; the officer will certainly have serious doubts about your claimed relationship with the petitioner. If you and the petitioner truly are husband and wife, and the child is your child, you will probably successfully obtain a visa in the end. But it will likely take quite a while longer than normal visa cases. The only thing you can do is to be completely honest about everything and hope that the investigation moves along quickly. |

I search my visa status through won website my visa status stated administrative processing so what meaning of that? |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by VisaOfficer: 5:08pm On Sep 22, 2015 |
olukenny12: There are so many reasons why a case can be placed under administrative processing, that there's no way I can hazard a guess as to why your case now shows that status. Your best course of action is to e-mail LagosIV@state.gov and ask for an update. Good luck! |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by olukenny12: 9:55pm On Sep 22, 2015 |
but do u think they we issue me my visa? |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by dennel(m): 10:16pm On Sep 22, 2015 |
ma... for sure I would come back* but what to say to clarify that and be cleared had been the problem as an orphan having an Aunty in the united state |
Re: U.S. Immigration Questions: Ask A U.S. Consular Officer by VisaOfficer: 10:42pm On Sep 22, 2015 |
olukenny12: I have no way of knowing what's happening with your case aside from what you've written here. Again, your best course of action is to e-mail LagosIV@state.gov and ask what's happening. |
