Dear VO

I am married but my passport bears my maiden name and i also want to use my maiden name to fill my visa application form online. My question is this,will that in anyway affect my chances of given a visa(visiting for 1month)

Hello VO, I have gone through the US Embassy website, and it seems that the only option a prospective immigrant have is to either have a spouse, a fiance(e) or à close family member like a parent, sister or brother, or a company/business who can file for him/her, now my question is what if one does not have any of these? Rather you have cousins, nieces, nephews, friends etc, what option does such a person has who is sincerely willing to migrate to the United States. Thanks in anticipation for your kind and sincere answer.

Good evening VO

Please I will like to know if Nigeria traditional wedding is consider legal for immigration purpose

Thanks

Dear VO,
pls advice on how best to handle this matter.

An American citizen will like to adopt a child(13 yrs) whose mother died shortly after childbirth , and since has been leaving with her grandmother and unfortunately the grandmother ( blood sister) to the American citizen passed on late last year. And since the child as nott be enjoying best of care.

Note. The dad never married the child's mother because they were both in the secondary school when the pregnancy occur.

The dad just finish university and yet to secure a job or be able to take care of his own child and willing to release the child to his aunt ( us citizen ) for custody or adoption.

How can they handle it without breaking any law.

A detail response will be highly appreciated.

Dear VO,

I am a male Nigerian living and working in Nigeria and my fiancé is also a Nigerian but relocated to the US about 4 Years ago when her father who is an American Citizen filed for her.

I have now decided to relocate to meet her in the US, we are not married yet but she visits me regularly within the last 4 years in Nigeria (at least twice a year).

Do we have to wait for her to become a US citizen early next year before we start the process or we start now? Do we have to do our wedding in Nigeria here before we start the whole process? we want to know what options are available for me to relocate to go and join her because we were thinking it will be easier and quicker when she becomes a US citizen.

Hello CO, I was just denied an immigrate visa (dv lottery visa) last week base on the merit that the winning name is different from the one I used on the visa application forms. It's just the same name but included a day born name in the middle.
I was just trying to follow instructions as stated on the right side of the forms to write the name in the passport. I have then gone ahead to swear an affidavit on the name. What can I do next? Can I petition? and do I need a lawyer to see to that. Do I still have a chance?

Hello VO,
Please kindly assist with clarification on this.i want to know if my fiancee can file a Fiance visa for me even though we have done traditional wedding.

Hello VO,

Thank you for the good job you are doing here. I was recently (15th March) denied diversity Immigrate visa based 212 (a)5 on winning with a name without a middle name and filing the visa application form (ds260) with a middle name as it appeared in my passport. I submitted documents baring both names I. E marriage certificate, secondary school cert. , employment letter all have the winning name. The CO sheet she gave me wasn’t addressed to me, date or her name. Later realised my police clearance wasn’t returned to me. I have gone ahead to make a statutory declaration on both names hence, do i stand a chance to get my visa and how do i go about it?

Thanks for your help V.O...finally moved to d U.S.

Is this an immigrant visa or non-immigrant visa question?

Yes this is an immigrant visa issue, I went for an interview today and I was ask several questions about my spouse and I did answer them correctly, The only problem I have was that I applied for a non immigrants visa in 2009 and it was an agent that fill the form and gave me all the documents intact he gave them me at the premises around the embassy and told me what to do so I really don't know what he filled in the form and eventually I was denied, He stated I was married and I never knew not until the day at my immigrant interview the lady told me that I was once married and I said no so he told me I apply 2009 and I stated I was married so I told her the truth that it was an agent that help me and I did not actually know what was in the form...they gave me a paper and told me they will get back to me within 60 working days that if I don't hear from them I should contact them. What do I need to do, I have told my spouse everything already. Please I need your help.
