Since November? God forbid oh😔 But how come

These people just intentionally want many people to fail and get the delayed, otherwise they would have specifically painted out what documents are missing at the In-person document review. Like you said, what's the usefulness of it.

I went very prepared, I had my petitioner and my joint sponsor's tax papers up to date. The only problem was that my joint sponsor's own was individual income tax return (form 1040) which is also acceptable in place of IRS transcripts. Now they say they are only going to be accepting the IRS transcripts for the interview. And they never deemed it fit to tell us at the In-person document review..

Now I have to start another game of waiting. This whole thing is just so exhausting even for my petitioner and joint sponsor. I have informed the joint sponsor though and he said the document will be ready in 2 weeks..

What's even more tiring is the fact that I have to travel to Lagos from Benin every damn time and lodging in a hotel, coupled with the risk associated with traveling along Nigerian highways. This interview made it 4 times I have been to Lagos in one month. Even if I want use flight, I go fit use flight to and fro 4 times?
I feel your pains, concerns, and financial costs. There is a plot to dissuade would-be LPRs. Just get to know this. Chill and go back to Lagos next month; deliver to OIS the requested doc, the instruction pages, and your passport (I want to believe you've your Passport). Upload the Joint sponsor doc too.

Good morning everyone. Please I need your help.
My brother applied for B2 USA visa last year and he was denied. This year he replied but he can't book appointment.
AVITS keeps saying post is required.
We have navigated through the site and nothing is working.
Why wasting money?

Sorry I have been so stressed out traveling to and from Lagos 5 times in less than one month.

I had my interview on the 19th of this month and it went to administrative processing.😡😡
Chai. My friend's parents' interview went well but embassy demanded I-864 from his spouse. So what was the in-person document review all about? Now, the battle to courier their passports from Abuja to Lagos. This was the same thing with the other folks' that has been hanging since November.

Just zoom out and live your life. You have done your bit. Congratulations!

Give it to Trump though. He knows how to make countries behave. He simply increased Canada's tarrif from 25% to 50%. That did the trick. On the other side Ukraine has agreed to ceasefire without any of the security guarantees they were insisting on.
Watch, he'll also somehow make Putin agree to the ceasefire
Everyone whether small or big must live. Russia shouldn't have invaded Ukraine. If the latter still had nukes, Putin wouldn't have dared.

But Philippines is not a member of ICC anymore, Duterte withdrew the Philippines from the international court in 2019 and so is not obligated under international law to detain someone who has a warrant against their name.


maybe he's not in good terms with the current President Ferdinand Marcos

When will ICC arrest Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel who has murdered over 45,000 innocent people.

You see that useless Visa navigator, follow it and it will lead you to nowhere.. It was at the embassy on the day of my document review I met a lady who's fellow applicant that told me she had the same problem I had. She met another person with the same problem that told her that the best way to get them to reply directly to your mail (without the machine response) was to keep bombarding them with incessant mails especially at night. They both did it and they responded and scheduled another document review date for them without them having to follow stupid Visa navigator link there.

We were supposed to do our interview the same day but unfortunately for me I didn't know the secret on time and fortunately for her she knew and she was able to get them to reschedule her for document review before our main interview date. So she had her interview on the very day we were supposed to have our interview while I did my document review instead of interview on that same day.
The embassy and US govt are creating this backlog. If they don't want legal migrants any more, let them shut down the process instead of these nonsensical tactics.

Those embassy staffers are now puns in the hands of Trump administration. It is so sad and unamercian. I will tell them to be sending mails as you suggested.

Wait so do they even know if their passports were delivered to OIS i. Lagos? OIS should have given them something or registered the drop off.

Have they checked on CEAC site if the visas was even issued? You didnt answer that question

Lastly let them folow the Visa Navigator and the instructions there. They receive tons of emails so those emails are grouped properly of ypu follow those instructions. Its when its grouped that someone will attend ed to it.
They couriered to his brother who lived in Lagos and now in the US with same category but different interview dates. So the package was turned in, because his brother can't do otherwise and a little print-out of how to know when the passports are back or sth was given. CEAC has nothing to indicate issuance, you just see file was last seen....

Have they gone to OIS to see if their passports are there? They would need to book an appointment on OIS site for pick up if they have confirmed their passports have been issued
Have the visas been issued ?

Did they send email to lagosiv@state.gov
When they do get the automated response they need to follow PROMPTS in the automated response so that their mail can be seen.
Thank you. On the interview day, the consular interviewer told my acquaintance to get them the petitioner's wife AOS and mailed it alongside with the passports. This was done via OIS lagos (After Embassy told them to mail from Abuja, OIS Abuja rejected and the package was DHLed to a person in Lagos who submitted). No proof from OIS Lagos that it received this package (not good from this third party and Embassy).

Now we do not know where the 5 passports are. US Embassy is behaving like a 3rd world place, no access to them, no modernization of services.
