Show me pictures
Have you/fiancée ever been married before?
Do y’all have kids?

see hen,as far as I’m concerned,these things do not go how we’re told or what weve read,you’re not only been asked questions,you’re having a conversation with the C.O.even tho he asked these things,there were still some things he asked that I don’t remember and all the things that I did wahala to get,they were not asked for,he only asked for pictures and he didn’t even look At everything,just flipped through 4-5 of them and gave me 2 white papers.the interview didn’t Even take up to 4minutes

NB: Prayers work,please pray!!!

Congratulations

Some COs will see the intro pictures and think there was some form of traditional marriage that was done while others might not. That's why I advocate it being safe not to go with intro pictures especially if it appears as if its a traditional marriage.

However if the intro pictures was submittted during the USCIS petition stage then you have to still go with it to the Embassy. Or if the intro pictures is the only picture that can actually prove your relationship then go with it. But be ready to explain the picture and, if possible, go with more evidence to prove that no trad was done. The COs are not monsters, they are smart, they will understand.

No lies legitbachelor,like I said different cases different CO’s but it’s better to be safe than sorry.what if you don’t take the pictures and they ask and you have nothing to show for it.my fiancée filed with the petition,a lot of receipts from vendors that we got for our engagement and our plans for the engagement so there was no way I wasn’t going to take pictures and even if she didn’t,you said it sometime ago that these people know your every move and moreover,they won’t see what you have in your folder even if you take them with you so even if they end up not asking then it’s all good but if they ask then someone better be ready to provide those things.just be able to prove that y’all just had an engagement party and nothing else.

You can go with it. But don't show them unless they ask for it. Hope you have other photos that can prove your relationship? Lovely Photos of you two together is the most important. Photos of you and some of his family members as well as photos of him and your family members are equally very important.

Happy Thanksgiving guys.......

Hi. If you did not file for Advance Parole (Travel Authorization) when you applied for the AOS then you'll need to file now if you want to travel or wait till you get the green card.

You will have to pay the fee for the travel authorization. You can get the form from the USCUS website and submit with requested documents.

Ofcourse you can file for your son....and its better you file now if you want to travel June/July next year because it takes about 5 to 7 months to process.

I agree with everything you said except for the bolded. Since abekeade1 has already filled the AOS and paid the stipulated fee ($1225), she doesn't need to pay any fee for Travel Authorisation or Work Permit. She just need to download and fill the required form (I-131) and submit along with the following documents:
1. Evidence of payment of the AOS fee (NOA1 of AOS and a photocopy of the money order used)
2. Form G-1145
3. Two identical passport photos
4. Copy of birth certificate
5. Certified copy of marriage certificate
6. Copy of NOA1 and NOA2 of i129f
7. Copy of International Passport Biodata page
8. Copy of K1 Visa page and i94 printout
9. Supporting documents for advanced parole (depends on the reason you are giving for applying for advanced parole eg a relative's doctors report if the reason is to go see a sick relative OR a wedding invitation letter if the reason is to attend a wedding etc)

Yes it's possible. But it has to be an emergency.....but it's not guaranteed you'd get it.

Yes.

Use whichever means that will allow you produce any document when the CO requests for it. It's true that binding or stapling of documents is not allowed.

(3) After getting affidavit of bachelorhood from high court, should one proceed to marriage registry office to obtain the "Certificate of single status"?

Not necessary. That document is not even compulsory. I will only advice those who feel the CO might doubt his or her singleness to do it, not everyone.

(4) Is it true that 'certificate of single status" must be authenticate at the ministry of foreign affairs?

No.

Legit.

My understanding is/was if he filed the work authorization and travel authorization with the AOS then he won't need to pay any additional fee....but since he filed the AOS already and now wants to file for the travel authorization separately. he will need to pay for the travel authorization.

So I went to check again and I think you are correct. I saw this on the USCIS website.

You do not need to pay an additional fee for Form I-131 if:

You are filing Form I-131 Application Type B or D;
You filed a Form I-485 with a fee on/after July 30, 2007; and
Your Form I-485 is still pending.

LegitBachelor:
Yes.

No.

(1)how can one arrange his pictures? Can one use picture Album? Is photo album allowed at the embassy?

I used a file folder that my fiancé sent to me,just print out the pictures and the other documents that you need and arrange them in order in the folder,it’s no biggie.

(2) What can one use to hold his evidences together ( chat logs, phone call logs, emails )? Paper clips? Or Acco clips? Cuz I heard that binding or stempling of documents is not allowed

I’m not sure but you surely must not tamper with the i-134 and the tax return,like I said,get a file folder and arrange your documents in there.

(3) After getting affidavit of bachelorhood from high court, should one proceed to marriage registry office to obtain the "Certificate of single status"?

Yes,I did mine in Lagos at the high court and the ikoyi registry for 30k.but guess what? I wasn’t asked for it at the interview.

(4) Is it true that 'certificate of single status" must be authenticate at the ministry of foreign affairs?

The registry is under the ministry of interior.

@Attraction,

Taking GMAT is basically needed if you plan to do a Graduate program(i.e. MBA). Some schools require it, while some don't request for it.

alright bro, thanks a lot, I'll try to expedite mine when the time comes. I'm still patiently waiting for my NOA 2, today marks our DAY 50 since NOA1 receipt. The wait is crazy and tough . Being the lastborn here is not easy as well, it would have looked great having someone at same immigration stage with me so that we would always give each other hope

Meanwhile @Sandraigho i'm really looking forward to hearing the goodnews of your NOA2 approval this week
