Hi visa officer.
I need your help with my situation please. My husband came for interview on 3rd of may 2017 in which he was told that he will be on administrative processing for 60 days after the 60 days was over he sent an email to request update but to our utmost surprise the response was shocking
Below wad the response we received then

Thank you for your inquiry.
 
You were notified during your IV interview in 2014 and again in your 2017 IV interview that you were ineligible for an immigrant visa based on you having materially misrepresented yourself. You properly applied for a waiver through USCIS and in 2015, were notified that your waiver was denied. As such, you remain ineligible for an immigrant visa and your file will be destroyed and no longer remain at our post.

Afterwards i keep seeing that the status is being updated everytime as refused, so last month he submitted a new waiver to clear off the ineligibility and sent email to lagosiv letting them know that he has started waiver on his case, but got a reply that the case is no longet at the post that enquiry should be forwarded to USCIS. I called USCIS today they dont have no information about the case, i called NVC too they told me the case was not return to them either and the last update on the ceac is today july 12th. So i am confused on what to do. Please have pity on me and put me through please. We really want to know what happened to the case after the interview.
Sorry for my long post.
Thanks.

Hello VO,
Can someone who has been filed for apply for a non immigrant visa?
I mean someone who currently has a,case pending with USCIS apply for a non immigrant visa.
Thanks.

Hello V.O,
Below is the reply to the mail my husband sent to lagos IV.
Please I need your advice can he still file a waiver to re move the ineligibility?please I need you to advice me please.

Hello V.O
We sent an email to lagosIV to request an update of my husband case last Wednesday, uptil now we have not heard anything yet. Please how many days does it take for an email to be responded to?
Thanks.

Hello V.O,
Thanks for the good job you are doing here, my husband has his interview on the 3rd of may, he was given a paper that his case has to go on administrative processing that will last for 60 days, my question now is can he send mail to lagosiv to ask for the update? Does it mean 60 business days because the last update on CEAC was June 1st.
Thanks.

Hello V.O,
Thanks for the good work you are doing here, my husband had his interview on the 3rd of may and he was told that he is going to be on administrative processing for like 60 days, I just checked the status on the ceac.gov today and the status changed to Refused it was updated on Friday 26th of may. I'm totally confused now though we have not heard anything from the embassy but please could that means that it's been refused.His case number is LGS2015795026.
Thanks for your response.

Hello VO,
Thank you so much for the good work you are doing here. My husband had his interview on may 3rd and he was told by the consular officer that his case needs further administrative processing which will take like 60 days.
Now my question is this, is the 60 days includes weekends or is it 60 business days?
I'm just so curious to know please because I got pregnant when I came to see him last November and I will be due soonest.
That's why I want him here before I deliver because it's not an easy task to be a single mom here.

Hello, if you have an email why not check your email probably they would have sent you a mail regarding your case.

attiba:
Hi vo pls am in administrative processing for 50 days now today i missed a call from the embassy pls can u pls provide me with there contact information in lagos Nigeria u.s.a embassy in Nigeria thanks[b][/b]

Hello VO,
My husband had interview today and he told me he was given a white paper by the consular that his case require administrative processing which would last for about 60 days and his passport was returned to him.
My question now is, can the administrative processing be less than 60 days and what is the fate of the applicant after the process is complete.
I'm just somehow worried about the administrative processing issue.
Thanks for your timed response.

Hello VO,
I'm so glad that we have a new VO to answer our questions, I won the 2014 dv lottery but my husband visa was denied when they called us for second interview due to the fact that he used different name and date of birth to apply for student visa in 2002 so I came to United states with my daughter we filed a waiver but it was denied and the reason that was explained in the denial notice was that the dv fiscal year has ended.
Now the i-130 has been approved and we are the NVC stage but our priority date is still far, my question now is can we go ahead and file waiver now or we should wait till after his interview?
I need your professional advice please.
Thanks

Hello VO
Thanks for your response, please I want to know how long does the adoption process take for a niece and what are requirements for the adoption.
Because my niece responsibility lies on my sister since the Father died and the mother is not with her.
Please kindly enlighten me on how to go about the adoption process, the requirements.
My sister is a citizen.
Awaiting your response ma'am.

Dear VO,
Please I need you to help me with this question even though it's a non immigrant question though, my sister want to adopt my niece she is 11 years old because my brother who happened to be her father died 2 weeks ago and there's no one to take care of her again because the mom is not with her too.
Now, she is thinking of inviting her first for visitation and then go back to nigeria to start the adoption process.
Now, my question is Wil she attend interview since she is just 11yrs old or is it drop box that should be done for her? Awaiting ur answer ma'am.

Hello V. O, I'm asking this question on behalf of a family friend, the man is an LPR and he want to file for his wife and 3 kids so he want to know if the spouse form covers the kids also since he's not a citizen yet.
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY MA'AM, GOD BLESS UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!

Thanks so much.

VisaOfficer:


I was just notified of the waiver denial myself. Yes, you should file for him if you want him to join you, but he will still need a waiver.

Thanks.when is he supposed to file the waiver?is it after petition or after he is invited for interview? Please cam you enlighten me on how to go about it I mean the waiver.

Hi Visa Officer
Sure you are doing great.
I am back again in respect of my hubby case, hope you can still remember my case?
Uscis sent a mail today that they denied the waiver on the ground that he is a diversity visa applicant and that the fiscal year for dv has ended Sept 30th 2014.that dv Visa category has ended.
Now my question is this, should I go ahead and file for him?
If yes, will the issue of material misrepresentation not going to come up again when he is invited for interview?
Please I need your professional advice right now I'm so confused.i need you to advice me on the next step to take.
Thanks and God bless.

Good morning house. I am a 2014 dv lottery winner. My wife and I migrated July, 2014 leaving our four kids behind in Nigeria because of financial constraints. My kids visa expires in December 15th and I want to know if it is possible to have their visa extended.

I think you should send a mail to lagosiv@state.gov.but extension of dv visa? I think they don't do it but send the mail and hear their response. All the best!.

[quote author=VisaOfficer post=27347407]

Yes, he can file the I-130 for them (just one if he's still an LPR; if he's an American citizen, one for each of them). We will have extra questions about his relationship to the wife and children, as from our point of view they have suddenly sprung into existence as if by magic. But if it's a bona fide relationship, they should be all right.
[/quote
Thanks ma.he is still an LPR, He's one of the dv 2014 winners.so just one form for all of them I mean the wife and the three kids. I have told him the wife should be ready for questions and be ready to convince the consular officer about the relationship.

Dear V.O,
Welcome back ma'am.please I have a question concerning a family friend, He told me that the person that helped him to play dv lottery played for him as single but this man is married with 3 kids . Unfortunately for him he did not correct this error when he sent back the ds 230 form to Kentucky. Now, he is in United States.please is it possible for him to file petition for his wife and the 3 kids? If possible which of the forms can he file?
If that is not possible please what can he do for his family to be able to join him here.
Thanks for your response ma.once again, welcome back ma.

Kindly help o nairalander I want to apply for the federal skilled worker but I don't know how to go about it.kindly help with the link pls.

okay thanks so much ma.

VisaOfficer:

Greetings! You should file the I-130 and then the I-601. Right now the waiting time for the F2A (spouse of an LPR) visa is around a year and a half, so the sooner the better!

Normally I would tell you to wait until his interview is scheduled to file the I-601, but I remember your case well and know that the I-601 is the right form to file. You do need to file the I-130 first, but if you file the I-601 soon after, his waiver will likely already be in place when he comes to his interview.

Hello ma,
please i need your candid advise concerning my husband case, he was denied visa due material misrepresentation that he used in the past.
now that we have migrated to the us(myself and our little daughter) i dont know which of the form to file that he wont be denied again ma.
Can i go ahead and file pettition i-130 for him or is it waiver i-601 that i should go for ma?.Because right now i am in a fix i dont know which one to go for.
please ma, i need your advise.kindly put me through.
God bless you and all that is yours ma.

Good day V.O
Please i have a question ma, how long can one stay in the USA as a legal permanent resident before filing for a spouse?
I want to know if it is after naturalization that is after 5years. Thanks for your timed response.
On a lighter mood i arrived chicago 2 fridays ago with my daughter, no problem @ all at POE.
Thanks ma'am.God bless you.
