NOTED!

0. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/interview.html
this link will provide information about the steps NVC takes once your case is approved by USCIS.
‭2. (603) 334-0888‬
This is the number for NVC you’ll call to obtain the case and invoice id numbers. You’ll need your USCIS case number, the full name of both the applicant and beneficiary and both birthdays in order to receive any information from them. So have that in handy. Some nvc officers will also ask for email address. If you don’t have one on file with them you can update it at this time. You can also request to add an email address to your case. They have an email address you can email to obtain information but their response time to the emails is terrible. You’d have to wait weeks, even months.
Note: if you call them and it’s been 2 weeks or more since your case has been approved with USCIS and they’re still telling you they have not received your case, hang up. Call back again then tell the next person you need to expedite your case due to severe financial loss and you were told you needed your case id number to do so. It’ll be better if the petitioner calls NVC for this information. Remember to get both the case and invoice ID number
0. https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx once you obtain a case number from NVC, this is the link you’ll use to check the status of your case at NVC. It’ll say “At NVC” if NVC is still working on your case. “In Transit” if it is on its way to the consulate. “Ready” once the consulate has received it and this is the time they’d prefer for you to set up your interview. Though they’ll be a slight delay waiting for them. As long as your status changes to ready before your interview date you should be fine.
0. https://ceac.state.gov/GenNIV/Default.aspx This is the link you’ll use to fill out the DS-160. You can either fill this out prior to paying the $265 visa fee at GTBank or after. I’d suggest after so you can set up interview immediately after filing the DS-160.
0. http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ This is the link you’ll use to set up interview. Have this in handy with you when setting up the interview: The confirmation number/visa application number from the DS-160 confirmation page. Your receipt number from the GTBank for the visa fee you paid, the case ID number and the USCIS case number.
0. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/nonimmigrant-visa-for-a-fiance-k-1.html#1 This link provides a guide on the steps and procedures for the K1 visa. It’ll give you information on the documentation you need to have ready, an overview or much more.
0. https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/iv-dv-supplemental/LGS-Lagos.pdf this link will provide you with the steps to take for medical exam. It’ll also have the pre-interview checklist and list of approved physicians. Please call them or rather go see them to make inquiries because the information the consulate gives online is inaccurate to what actually happens. Their hours of operation for medical exam is not what it says online. They are not open from 8am-5pm. They’re only open from 8am-10am. Make inquiries first! Call, go there! Don’t assume.
0. Here’s the information on how to obtain the police certificate : Applicants need to contact the Deputy Inspector General, Criminal Investigation Department, Nigeria Police Force, Alagbon Close, Ikoyi, Lagos, Nigeria. The applicant should bring information regarding their full name, place and date of birth, nationality, passport number, date and place of issuance (for current passport or passport used during applicant's stay in Nigeria), exact periods of residence in Nigeria and addresses where applicant resided.
https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Nigeria.html This is link I got the information from.
0. You’ll need your original birth certificate and a photo copy for the interview. Also I’d advise getting the declaration of age and having that handy. My uncle said you’ll need that once you migrate here. You can obtain your birth certificate from the local government/hospital you were born in. Make sure the name on the application filed with uscis matches the name on the birth certificate. I don’t know anything about name changes so you might have to make inquiries on your own about name changes. You can obtain the declaration of age at the National Population Commission. Here’s their link with their contact info, location e.t.c http://population.gov.ng/contact-us/
0. For anything that you do throughout this process, I’d suggest having your international passport with you when you go make inquiries or go to these appointments. Get new passport photos. Remember they are only valid if you’ve gotten them done within 6 months and has not passed the 6 months gap. Also, make photocopies and also have the originals of every single document you are taking with you to your interview. People often get confused so let me elaborate on this, the DS-260 is for people filing spousal K3 visa. Their process is different. The K1 visa applicants fill out the DS-160. On the affidavit of support. The I-864 is for k3 visas/family based visas. The I-134 is for K1 visas, b1/b2 visas etc.

I hope this information helps! Good luck on your process and I wish you all the best.

I have a question for Pundits in the house. I’m currently serving in the US military and I am a US citizen. What will be the best way to bring my patner from Nigeria, is it best to marry her and file for spousal visa or do a K1. Does being in the military expedites K1 or K3 processing times?

Every couple has their own priorities, and each couple must decide which visa is better for their situation.
K-1
More expensive than CR-1
Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork)
Spouse can not leave the US until she/he receives approved Advance Parole (approx 5-6 months)
Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (approx 5-6 months)
Some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period
Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed.
A denied K-1 is sent back to USCIS to expire

CR-1
Less expensive than K-1
No Adjustment of Status(I-485, I-131, I-765, I-944) required.
Spouse can immediately travel outside the US
Spouse is authorized to work immediately upon arrival.
Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card within 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US
Opening a bank account, getting a driver's license, etc. are very easily accomplished with GC, SS card, and passport.
Spouse has legal permanent Resident status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to US.

GOOD DAY, I HAVE LOOKED FOR THIS PLATFORM ALMOST ALL MY LIFE. OKAY SO I GOT MY APPROVAL LETTER FROM USCIS, ITS ONE MONTH SINCE I GOT MY LETTER AND I HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY WELCOME LETTER FROM NVC. PLEASE MY QUESTIONS ARE

CAN I BE JOINED TO THE WHATSAPP GROUP?

HOW LONG DOES NVC SENDS WELCOME LETTER FROM THE TIME USCIS APPROVES ?
Tell ur petitioner to call NVC to get ur case number and invoice number u use it to track ur case wen it get to Lagos embassy[b]

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE BETWEEN WHEN YOU GET YOUR WELCOME LETTER TILL INTERVIEW DATE?
[/b]NVC sent all the case of 2021 to Lagos embassy dis year march can’t tell when ur case will get to Lagos embassy but I believe d backlog is not much again for k1 in Nigeria just put ur mind maybe 1-5 months[b][b]

WHAT SHOULD I GET AVAILABLE PENDING THE TIME MY WELCOME LETTER COMES?
Things u need 4 interview when NVC sent your case to Lagos embassy your status wil show ready

Go with at least 2 passport photos, international
passport, appointment confirmation printout, DS-160
printout, GTBank Payment Receipt, Birth Certificate,
Police Clearance Certificate, Medical Report (sealed),
filled Affidavit of Support form along with its
supporting documents (fiance's birth certificate,
international passport, tax returns, bank statement,
employment letter, etc), copy of documents your
fiance submitted to USCIS when she petitioned for you
(i129F along with supporting documents), proof of
relationship (WhatsApp Chats, Call Logs, Pictures of
you both together, copy of Flight Boarding Pass used
to visit fiance, money transfers, etc) and other
documents that supports what you filled in the DS-160[b]


I WAITED 11 MONTHS TO GET MY APPLICATION APPROVED FROM USCIS, HOW LONG MORE WOULD I WAIT TILL INTERVIEW DATE? [/b]Congrats[b]
