Public Charge. “Public charge” is a ground of inadmissibility that could bar an individual's admission to the United States on a visa or adjustment of status to lawful permanent resident (ability to get a green card). |

RAYSKIS: Stop misleading people. Public charge rule is different from Presidential Proclamation ban that includes Nigeria. Very separate things No immigrant visas will be issued to applicants from Nigeria after 21st of Feb except the CO determines that such an applicant qualifies for a waiver, then such person would go through the waiver process |

Taal17: Again I am asking the question: how do you know this? Someone earlier told me it was a foolish question but with the varieties of opinions on this forum I don’t know what to believe anymore except that we are all just guessing. My second question is will interviews still go on ? And then again is the moral issue of a retroactive decree which punishes people who have passed the “documentarily qualified “ stage especially family visa applicants. Again if you are refused because of Presidential proclamation and you decline waiver, when the ban is lifted do you begin the entire process all over again? These are things you ought also to be telling us and not just the negative . Please also advise on practical way forward 1 Like |

SmartKitty1: I have interview date February 27 , I am parent of a citizen. All documents submitted and accepted and also I have done medicals with Q-Life. Obviously from ongoing it will be denied. I will not also apply for waiver since I am not so desperate .So what happens? Confusion. |

emonkey: I don't owe you or anyone any 'positive' news , any information about ban is PUBLICLY AVAILABLE from the same DHS that released the Proclamation. It is not new, other countries have faced this same ban and visas were only issued if applicants got their waivers approved. All at discretion of CO So til US consulate in Nigeria provides information on what happens to EVERYONE waiting inline (you are free to ask them) or DHS updates that ban has been lifted then all we have is what the ACT explicitly says and precidence from other travel ban affected countries. Anything else is conjecture 2 Likes |

My candid advice to everyone affected by the ban is : Don't loose sleep over this ban thing.*Get busy and concentrate on something else* the whole thing won't go beyond this year I believe especially if you have scaled through the documentation stage.... You will only need to do Police and medicals again. 2 Likes |

Nigeria: Nigeria does not comply with the established identity-management and information-sharing criteria assessed by the performance metrics. Suspension of entry for Immigrants, except as Special Immigrants whose eligibility is based on having provided assistance to the U.S. Government. "Special immigrants" My question is since we don't have special immigrants that provides assistance to US government as in Iraq or other country; does this exception also applied to other 'Special' categories like Eb4 Special immigrants Religious Minister? Thanks |

SmartKitty1:This makes a whole lot of sense. Ones you are Documentarily Qualified, You still go through throw all the process down to Interview... after which you are either issued a VISA or Placed on Administrative Processing (i.e.- Visa on HOLD) pending when the BAN is lifted. Thank you. 1 Like |

Good afternoon people, I didn't see any answers online addressing the effect of the ban on a Nigerian that's a legal resident of another country and will be applying from that country. Any ideas on how that will be handled? |
Re: At The NVC Processing Stage Of The U. S Family Based Preference Category. by abike12(f): 2:08am On Feb 21, 2020 |
SmartKitty1: Ok. the reason I ask is because the reason for the ban allegedly has to do with Nigeria sharing certain information so if a person is resident in a country without those issues it could make a difference in the consideration for a waiver. Although one can't predict these people... |

WHAT IF I CANCEL, OR MISS MY APPOINTMENT OR NEED A FRESH INTERVIEW APPOINTMENT Please send an email to LagosIV@state.gov with your name, case number and contact address. We will contact you by email within two (2) business days with the next available appointment date. Diversity Visa appointment dates cannot be rescheduled. If you have an interview date scheduled, you must attend your scheduled interview. If you are married, your spouse and any children must accompany you. If you cannot attend the interview appointment that was scheduled for you by the Kentucky Consular Center, it will not be possible to reschedule your appointment. WHAT IS THE COST TO FILE A WAIVER? HOW DO I CHECK THE STATUS OF MY WAIVER? The fee to file an I-601 waiver is $585. The fee to file an I-212 waiver also is $585. As of June 2012, all waiver applications must be sent directly to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) at the Phoenix Lockbox facility at the following address: USCIS, ATTN: 601/212 Foreign Filers, 1820 E. Skyharbor, Circle S, Suite 100, Phoenix, AZ 85034. For more information and waiver instructions, please refer to www.uscis.gov/i-601 or www.uscis.gov/i-212 or call the USCIS Customer Service center at (800)375-5283. The U.S. Consulate General, Lagos, no longer accepts waiver applications, nor do we adjudicate waiver requests. |

davido05:Congratulations, all the best. Please what is the timeframe between when you got the Documentary Qualified Letter and Interview Letter? |
Re: At The NVC Processing Stage Of The U. S Family Based Preference Category. by emonkey(m): 8:08pm On Feb 21, 2020 |
feb20Obinna: For the umpteenth time the US Consulate in Lagos has NO POWER OF DISCRETION over family immigration, and not even to summarily deny you your immigration visa . It is all handled by USCIS. Even USCIS decides when you are ready to be interviewed and they only ask the Consulate for available dates. The only job of the Consulate is to verify your submitted documents and hand your travel package over to you. Unlike work based on diversity immigration applications the waiver process may not be an available option for family immigration and really does not seem to make any sense for family immigration since you are not even the original petitioner .This is the advice I received from a US Immigration lawyer. 1 Like |

davido05: A US lawyer advises: America is not ruled by decrees. The laws of the land do not permit retroactive application of new directives. If the ban eventually holds it can only affect those whose documentation are still in the loop and not those already qualified and asked to proceed to interview. Otherwise watch out for legal fireworks within next week. |

emonkey: This cannot be from a qualified immigration lawyer based in the US; except he is not in touch with the events surrounding the ban. This ban has already gone to court and has been settled. It was contested by immigration lawyers, the Democrats and nationals of the countries which were placed on the first travel ban. After 1year in court, the supreme court ruled in favor of the Trump administration and asserted that the presidential proclamation stands ahead of any other law since the ban is hinged on the security of life and properties of the American people. I have realized that in a bid to sound positive or seek solace in the face of hope, many people have gone ahead to disseminate falsehood about this ban. ANYONE WHOSE INTERVIEW DATE IS AFTER 21st FEBRUARY IS SUBJECT TO THIS BAN; both immediate and "non-immediate" relatives. Also, I have noticed talks about public charge rule which are being misrepresented here as well. Public charge rule has nothing to do with the immigration ban and is a totally different thing. It simply deals with limitations on the immigration rights of individuals who are dependent on government benefits. By that, the government wants only those who can support themselves to seek green cards and/or naturalization. I am compelled to make this comment because some of us benefitted from this thread during the processing of our immigrant petitions and would want the right information to be deposited here for consumption. The idea that immediate relative or applications filed before the ban or approved before the ban are exempted completely negates the information given by the DHS and which the DHS has re-echoed severally. 3 Likes |
