Yes, include it. But you will need to get a letter of attestation from your head of department or your school registrar during your interview assuming your result is not ready during your interview.

Relax my brother from now till month ending I am in the same shoe as you.

@YessWeeCan: I will advice you to continue with the processing, you have not committed any crime by so doing. The only thing that changes in your profile is marital status which is understandable, if you are ask why, say you did that to show commitments to your wife and seriousness to her parents. this will have no effect on your current status, afterall they select you for the second time you do not select yourself.
If atall they decide not to isue the visa, this way you have help ease the process when filling for her and her kids in the nearest future

@Seal777: if you follow the above advice you will run yourself into trouble, you don’t have any chance forget it since you are already a green card holder. Kindly follow the normal way and apply for your wife its better that she will be coming late than for you to be returned back to Nigeria. Kindly read the instruction on how to apply for spouse, the rule is very clear.

Please read this as it will help you.
Each applicant will need to obtain an original birth certificate issued by the official custodian of birth records in the country of birth, showing the date and place of birth and the parentage of the applicant, based upon the original registration of birth.

Short form birth certificates will not be accepted.

The certificate must contain the:

Person's date of birth;

Names of both parents; and,
Annotation by the appropriate authority indicating that it is an extract from the official records.

I don't mean to make any argument, but i think you have not explain to him in details why he'll be returned back to nigeria. This will help him arrive at a better conclusion.

Good day forumites,
I would like to have some reasonable answers to this question. My friend is current for the month of july. But she is 1n 300level 2nd semester now and she wont be able to finish her schooling here b4 leaving. So she's looking at to options now, either she process her transcript from her sch here and complete her education ova there. But wat is d possibility that she would be able to continue where she stopped from here? or she goes to the US and do the necessary documentations, get her green card, SSN etc and come back to finish her sch here since she has ova a year left. Comin back i mean in terms of shuttling btw US and Nigeria while she completes her sch. I am aware she cant stay more than 6months outside the US. So which of the options is beta for her situation now. She needs advice

Dear all...good evening. Did my npc today...was told 8k for 3 days...really don't understand it...it is so nasty how corruption is getting very fat. Please, can anyone give me contact for the police records so that I am not ripped off...how much it is and the requirements. Thank you. God bless us all.

Pls house someone told me NPC is just for people born before 1992 how true is that?

from my dictionary a petitioner is one who is asking for something. so from my understanding you are the petitioner. so you can put your name . your address and your phone number there.

I just did mine. I paid N100 each. that is my spouse and I. And I collected sharp sharp, as in instantly after it was signed.

Well I will advise that she forgets about the school completely. Do you think they even value our certs. Let her just start all over there. If she can do nursing, better.

Did you do npc @ Babs Animashaun for N100? I don't understand. Was asked to come on wednesday @ 5k

A friend of mine was in same shoes, he was in 300 level when he got his. He finished his degree program and even served. He just made sure he was never out of the US for more than the stipulated time.
