3 months? Wow, yours was fast! Awesome.

Please can you tell us the questions that were asked during the interview? Also concerning the interview scheduling, I'm told its the NVC together with the Embassy that schedules the interview, so does that mean that there's no need to create a portal with ustraveldocs? If so, how does one track his or her passport after the interview?

Please I'm new here. There are few questions I really want to ask concerning I130 form.

If you have any immunization records youve had in the past, go along with it. But if you don't have then Just go without them. The essense of the immunization records is to see if there's any injection that you can skip.

Good one dear. You're right with regards to all the information you have provided so far. However, the petition actually gets approved between 3 to 9 months depends on the state where your petition was filed. Mine got approved within 3 months. A friend also had his approved with 6 months cos he filed through New York. If you file through states that have less petition such as Texas, it's usually very fast. And since visa is always available for Immediate relatives, there's no waiting time allocated to their priority date.
good morning dear pls I need to know more about the travel process on cr1/ir1 visa I'm just tired and confused on what to do pls I need someone to guild me through from the first step to the last

Finally, a thread I have been looking for.

Please when is the best time to process and apply for birth certificate at NPC?, while waiting for NOA2 or after receiving NOA2?.

Cc : Legitbachelor, ojay2053, every other persons.

Meanwhile, let me share my progress so far.

Wedded at ikoyi : June 7th,

Wifey sent application with $535 money order: June 20th,

NOA1 received. : July 4th


Wifey is a permanent resident and not USA citizen yet until may 2020 that she will be naturalized, I heard the process is longer compared to USA citizen's spouse petition. Please how true is this?, and what is our likely waiting period to get NOA2?,





how long will it take us to marry and get out documentation of marriage from ikoyi?

You get your wedding certificate in the same day.
Infact, you will have it immediately the wedding officer pronounce you both as husband and wife..


You can register your marriage Atleast 2 months to your proposed date so as to get a slot on time because of the marriage crowds at ikoyi

I understand your anxiety. I understand the joy of having the LOYL coming over, tieing nut, and you flying delta airline to join him/her as LPR.

Just calm down cos after the petition, you will still wait average of a year b4 Noa2 approval.


The first thing you need to do now is to visit ikoyi or contact anyone there to register your wedding and get a date fixed

Please guys... I would really appreciate a sincere answer to this question. Is it a necessity to do a court wedding at Ikoyi Registry for a SPOUSAL USA VISA APPLICATION?? Thank you

No it isn't. Get married at the marriage registry closest to your location or where you reside. I got married at Awka and my certificate was valid.

It's a long process which I believe the basic steps have been discussed here severally. You can go to USCIS website for more detailed information.. basically you both get married, your wife then files a petition on your behalf, it gets sent to USCIS, when USCIS approves it, then it gets sent NVC, NVC will inform you on the documents you would need for an interview at the US consulate in Lagos, they will also collect those said documents from you and then schedule you for an interview with the consulate. You attend the consulate, if you are approved, you will be granted an Immigrants visa. Each of these stages have their own different waiting times but in total, the whole process can take between 9 months to 2years, depending on a whole lot of factors. But since your fiancée is a citizen, it won't pass 2 years if you guys follow the instructions explicitly and have your documents in order. I don't know about the ikoyi marriage process as I didn't get married there. I got married at my home town

Did you have to state the name of your supposed spouse and date of marriage at the time? If yes then I'm not sure how to help cos I haven't been in that kind of situation, but if no then I suppose you can get away with it since you're getting married for real anyways. It can be explained that you did introduction or dowry ceremony at the time. You court marriage date will be used as your official date of marriage. I don't know about the Ikoyi process. I do not reside in Lagos and therefore I didn't get married there. Perhaps you can check online for more info on their own procedure

Not all registry is approved by the federal government. Learnt there are about 12 registries approved approved by the federal government nationwide.

So, it is safer one registers with the approved one to avoid stories that touch later.

Do not on your life submit fake divorce papers to the US embassy if you don't want to incurre a life ban. They verify marriage and divorce documents when it comes to spousal visas. It's no joke.
adeney93:
I have been denied B1/B2 Visa before where I used *MARRIED* as my Marriage Status but I was never Married, I just used the *MARRIED* status for the B1/B2 VISA purpose. Now, I am legally married to a US citizen and she wants to start filing for me in the next months to come. MY QUESTION IS, do I have to do a divorce letter for my former Married Status?

Every state has a marriage registry, get married at the one closest to you. I got married at my local government marriage registry, the certificate is the same as the one issued by the federal government registries too. I used it for my immigration process, it was never contested or considered invalid, I am with my husband in the US today.

Re: USA Spousal Visa Process/ K3 Visa by Amydove(f): 4:54am On Nov 06, 2019
My dear. Go and get a customary court divorce certificate from a customary court. If you think you will go that day and say what you just wrote here and they will give you a visa, it means you are dreaming. I'm married to a us citizen too and my case is waiting for NOA2. I'm in so many groups for CR1 and K1 and I have read alot. You will be wasting your money if you don't produce that divorce certificate because they will ask you to get it. It is even on their website for Nigeria section that when a bride price is paid, a customary court can dissolve the marriage, meaning they want a divorce certificate for that. And please my dear, submit this divorce certificate with your original K1 or CR1 petition because if you don't, they will stress the living daylight out of you that you will give up and want to abandon the whole process. Least I forget, please make sure you do not submit a fake divorce certificate to them because they verify. When I mean verify, they send delegates to the court where you procured your divorce certificate when they sense something fishy and that will result to a life ban. I hope you take my advice.

Thanks man... But we've decided to go for the fiance visa because it's faster,i figured I'll just say I wasn't married n I was with my ex then, whom I paid her dowry but she left, n we didn't marry, something like that..
