I have a question.

I have an old electricity bill un paid in US and now I won a DV lottery. is it something that might be noticed at the interview and affect the final decision.

Is it part of the background checking?

it was 10 years ago. When I ordered the service I had no SSN yet. I received one later.

I visited US in meantime few times and also once renewed my B visa.

thank you

meggi

I have no way to know about your individual circumstances, but if it was a criminal offense to have not paid your bill it could very well be relevant. The only way to determine this is to go to the interview.

Done

Hello ,
Please what is the average processing time for 1R-5 visa for a parent.
I mean from time of application to interview. What's the wait time like in Nigeria.

thank you

As has already been mentioned here several times, this is determined by another agency and how quickly you provide the information they request. I cannot accurately provide a timeline for this process. That being said, the process for IR-5s is expedited.

I will like to know if it is possible for me to apply for non-immigrant visa while I still have a pending immigrant petition (f4) category.

Hi visa officer. As an ir2 visa beneficiary, is an individual suppose to become a US citizen when he/she immigrates. In other words is there an age limit to becoming a us citizen

Yes, having a pending immigrant visa does not disqualify you for a non-immigrant visa.

IR-2s under the age of 18 can become U.S. citizens upon entry to the United States; if you are over the age of 18 you can still become an American citizen through the naturalization process.

Hello VO, it is a pleasure to be in contact. I have been scheduled for an interview (f4 category). I want to know if I can use a Nigeria certified BC of my petitioner as I may not be able to get the original from her.
Thanks.

Please my younger brother just got signed to play for nfl in the USA and he has a working permit not a green card.How can he be of help to assist me in getting a work permit.

Hi VO, i need your advise, but interviewed on september 9 for a immigrant visa and was issued... September 15th. Guess it was because of the public holidays. Its past 10 working days now. I haven't heard anything.. Please what should i do? Thanks for the swift response

Hello VO,

I have a question to ask before my Interview this month.

1. If something comes up, like a new information should i email the Embassy right away or just wait till the date of my interview and share it verbally with them.

My interview comes up within a matter of days..

Hello VO,
First, I want to first commend your good works on this trend.
I applied for student visa (BSC degree) three consecutive times in year 2013, 2014, 2015, bit was denied based on 214(b) of the usa immigration law. I am 23 yrs of age.
Now, I have a girl friend who is a USA citizen and we intend getting married by December here in Nigeria.
I do have a few question;
After our wedding I know she is suppose to file petition for me. Although we don't know how to go about it.
Do we need a lawyer or an agent for this process?
Will the visa be approved? Cos I was thinking of studying in another country before I stumbled upon this part of the trend.
How long will it take my visa to be approved?
Will my past visa denials have any role to play in my immigrant visa application? Cos I intend going back to school when I get to the USA
What documents do we need to provide?
Thank you always for your input.
God bless.

Good day VO ,

You are required to present the same birth certificate that was used in the original petition.

Quite simply, he can't. He is being petitioned for by a U.S. company as all individuals on worker visas are. If he naturalizes and becomes a citizen, you would qualify for the F4 visa category.

Thank you very much VO;
I mean can I certify a photocopy of the original BC I have with me for the interview if I can't get the original copy?

Thanks for your prompt response.

No, unfortunately there is no visa category for a cousin to petition for you.
