Guys I have a testimony. I know this is not the religion thread but it's still related to this section.

So I usually keep my social security card locked in my "vault". But I was told by Bank of America that I will need to come with my social security card for them to update my bank account with my social security number. So I took out my card and placed it in between a book.

Now, when I was leaving the bank, I placed the book on my car so I can strap my daughter into the baby sear. So I forgot the book along with my social security card on the car and drove off. It was when I got home that I remembered my social security card and started wondering where I left it. I tried retracing my steps and also went to the bank but didn't see my card there. Then it occurred to me that perhaps I forgot it on the car....of course it was no longer there when I checked. I also checked where I parked the car when I went to the bank and it also wasn't there. Then it occurred to me that the book possibly still remained on the car until when i got to the highway where it possibly got blown away by the wind due to the car speed.

So I commenced searching for my social security card on the highway, at that point I had given hope that I will see my card. I thought about the stress of reporting my lost card to the police and the stress of applying to get a new card. I also thought about the risk of identity theft as my social security number is now exposed to anyone who finds my card.

But low and behold, I saw my book in the middle of the highway. It was battered beyond recognition as many cars have run it over but I did not see my card in it. The card is just a little paper and can be blown farther away due to the wind...so the chances of seeing my card is still slim. But I kept searching and then I saw it! I saw it stuck in a shrub farther off from where I saw the battered book. The card was not scratched one bit. It was as if someone just secured it for me. God is wonderful.

I will never be this careless with my card in the future. I hope you all learn from my mistake. I also want to share this testimony on God's Grace in my life.

sorry about that oga legit and thank God u saw it

OLAOREOFE50:
I was a K1 Applicant, i got to the US this July, I got Married in August. I realize the K1 application journey is not over, perhaps till you become a citizen, lol.

akido707ak:
Hey Airboy333, I have a question for you please, I didn't see anything in your thread about "packet 3". After your status says "ready". It seems you cannot book interview appointment until you receive the "packet 3" from US Embassy in Lagos. I am at that stage and I am a little confuse, I filled out the DS-160 successfully and when I was trying to check the interview page before making payment, two questions pop up asking (1) if i have received NVC letter that my document is in embassy and (2) if I have received packet 3 from US Embassy and if your answer is "no" to any of the questions, it says you cannot book your interview until you have receive the packet. Can you please elaborate on that or if anyone else can also help out. Thank you.

the packet 3 is just an email which the petitioner will get telling you where to do ur medical and police certificates and what and what u need for interview .. the pix I attach is the packet 3 the petitioner will it by email

baba2unday:
Please house, I am worried about this police clearance that didn’t come with fingerprints. I am worried if it’s acceptable at the US embassy without the fingerprints. I asked them at Alagbon police station, they told me that’s what they issue. I don’t trust this police guys o. Please has anyone confirmed this? My interview is on the way Abeg.

u r gud to good best of luck

GiggsTk:


Nope

pls how long will it take to get approve

GiggsTk:
The rules have gotten stricter over time.
Who knows any bank that will currently still give cash?

so u mean no more cash

Gmalaica:
Hi Everyone, Before you start anything with NVC. Invite your fiancées to Nigeria and do the court wedding then she can travel back and start paper work I-130

good morning you are right wen using the spouse route which I believe is the requirement but here is k1 fiancée thread u don’t have to do any wedding or get married

VanMoyez:
Please, when setting the visa appointment, what should I select on the "Select Visa Priority?"

The options are: 221G and regular

Thanks.

regular

baba2unday:
I checked my appointment confirmation now but what I saw was a UID number which is different from my DS 160 confirmation bar code. Must they be the same? Please I need help ASAP.

UID number is different from ds-160 number if ur ds-160 Number is not showing call the embassy

SmartJac:
It is displayed on the page when you want to pick an interview date, that’s why I sent the screenshot

oh thanks I believe if u must reschedule is best to call the embassy

SmartJac:
Please don’t risk rescheduling, I believe on the portal when you picked a date there was a note that also advised against rescheduling because the only date that the embassy will document will be the first K1 interview date you picked, this is also the reason why some people that rescheduled earlier don’t find their names on the list at the embassy on the new day they picked

can u pls share the link where u get this from

InvestorTeeMan:

Good morning Airboy, pls I need to ask this question.
This is not the case of being in a hurry, is it okay to reschedule the appointment if there are more closer dates ?

yes u can Twice without penalty of having to pay again and wait 90 days to reschedule. Also, like said depends on medical results

Qubratshalewa:
Good morning Everyone
Pls I need information on us spousal visa. How long the process will be and the things required.

It was painful as I was denied my student visa yesterday because I put in the application that my husband is a citizen. All what we thought is we think its a faster means to come to the us aside with the fact that I want to pursue my PhD before. Now I missed my opportunity of a full funding scholarship and TA. Pls anyone that can help with my situation should come to my aid.

sorry about it but in the eye of the Consulate 99% u have the intention to Migrate tru F1. Just go wit spousal route all the best
https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/immigrant-visa-for-spouse.html

kaycome:

Please these dates you guys are talking about. Is it for k1 applicants only or also for visiting visa applicants too? Cos i heard that the appointment date is now 2024 on the usa visit thread.

k1 and b1/b2 portal is different

InvestorTeeMan:

I don’t think the spousal visa will make any difference or will be a better option to K1 and at times it depends on your best plan as a couple.
Yes the visa interview dates could be frustrating but I think it is quite understandable and requires a lot of perseverance.
I did a little analysis about it and I understood the process a little, you know the US school calendar at the moment is FALL and so many institutions are waiting to welcome their international students from all around the world including Nigeria, so they’re doing more and more of F1 visa interview lately for them to meet up with fall admission process.
Hence, why there are no dates for K1 and the rest for now. There’s this WhatsApp group for F1 visa which I belong and I noticed the embassy is making dates available for them to apply for students visa, so it is clear they wanna clear some of them.

If the embassy do not have capacity to conduct interview for us they wouldn’t have requested our petitions from NVC and the status wouldn’t show READY but my concern is, what if the consul do not extend the four months validity of the approval coz I read someone’s testimony where he said the consul decided not to extend his expired approval caused by unavailability of dates and that was the cost him an outright denial.

u don’t have to worry about the four months the embassy will extend it

pufframmy:
please to the Gurus .

i want to fill DS160 form for B1/B2, should i fill single form for each of us family of 3
or i should filled a family form which it only includes most of my info,
please someone who as gone tru this process should Help

family application
or
single aplication

Which one to Fill?

Each visitor, including a child, needs their own DS-160. If an applicant is aged 16 or younger, or is physically unable to complete the form themselves, they can be helped by a third party. That person must be identified at the end of Form DS-160, on the “Sign and Submit” page. U can be the third party for ur children
