Coquinoqui:
Should you get police clearance certificate before you start visa application or its better you get it after you applied for visa?

@coquinoqui its better you get it before your nterview date (alongside your medicals)

Hi everyone. Pls I sent a letter of intent to my fiancé in the USA through EMS since I heard that it has to be a wet signature. I sent the letter and my passport photos last month as priority mail which supposed to take 10 working days. It’s now 20days and my fiancé is yet to receive the mail. Has anyone used EMS before? Is it necessary that the letter be wet signature or can it be scanned so that he can get it in time? We really want to send the I129F this month. Thanks

Never tried EMS with documents before aside using them to send regular things,when it comes to vital docs it better sent via DHL or FEDEX ... EMS ll surely deliver it there just that it might take time but 20days is quite a long time to deliver,get in touch with their customer service here /complaints section... cheers

kunlelikeme:

First week! Oboy! Few days to go.lol when January reach by God's grace. My own anxiety will kick in. Now my only concern is beating this Lagos traffic. I planned on using ORide! Lagos for now is a mess cause of these roads construction and coming from the mainland will be hectic. You'll do fine. Congrats in advance girl.

amen!thanks @frypuffpuff ,yeah oride good but its better u get there if possible an hour or 40mins before the time of your interview according to what i heard..all will end well in jesus name..cheers

Glorioussugar:
When I did my medicals in September , there were some vaccines they didn’t give me because they said it wasn’t available in the country. Please do I go back there and ask them if it’s available now? Or I should just go with the result they gave me for my interview? And since they are now sending results to the embassy direct, hope it won’t be an issue when I go with mine.

@ glorioussugar welcome back,same thing is applicable to me ,the didnt have two vaccines when i did my medicals but the doc there said i can do it here or when i get there,that my card should be with me when travelling..there is no need for concern and it wont poise a issue at the embassy(i believe that)..just prepare ahead for your interview and get your NPC birth certificate as advised by the elders above... are u slated for january too?cheers

@brownesugar,

You do not need to authenticate the documents at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Abuja.

The Letterhead and the official stamp imputed on the doc done at the NPC office is just okay.

Okay @select500.. thank you

LegitBachelor:
As far as K1 Visa Process is concerned, you don't need to authenticate thr NPC document.

Thanks @legitbachelor well noted ..thank you

LegitBachelor:
You dont need any authentication of any sort as far K1 Visa is concerned....unless the Embassy changed the rules which I'm not aware of.

I submitted my Attestation of Birth and Affidavit of Birth to the Embassy without any form of authentication and it was accepted.

@legitbachelor thanks so much for the advise and information.. God bless you

sharpman1:


As far as i know, you don't need any authentication by any ministry for your attestation certificate. The Attestation certificate or birth certificate issued by the NPC is sufficient by itself.

Thanks @sharpman1 ,was almost getting worried on how to get it authenticated.. thanks for the advise..vless you

select500:
@ All,

For those born before 1992, it's better you get the Attestation(the Long Format) & Sworn Affidavit of Birth done @ the NPC office. ( For those in Lagos, that will be at Babs Animashaun in Surulere).

The Embassy may accept the "Short Format" of your Birth Certificate at your K-1 interview(it's better you even do the new one before your interview), but you will need the Attestation (the Long Format) & the Sworn Affidavit of Birth when you are filing for Adjustment of Status(AOS) in the U.S.

Please take note. Cheers!

@select500 thanks for the info well noted,will the attestation of birth&co be authenticated at abuja (min of foreign affairs)?

Cappie:



Pls was your fingerprint taken when you went for the police report ?

@cappie yes i did

Cappie:




Pls where in Abuja was this done?

@cappie i think you should mention @study4life it was his post and can be in the best position to answer that,am based in lagos..cheers

sandraigho:

Thanks dear...
Your interview will be a successful one IJN.

Amen!! @ sandraigho thanks babes

sandraigho:


Thanks so much for this helpful info as i just got my NOA2 approval now....I'm super excited & all tnx to God

Congratulations @ sandraigho,am awaiting my interview day... it will all end in praise..Amen..cheers

disguy1:


Did mine for 10k attestation. 2k Affidavit @Surulere NPC.

@disguy1 thanks for update on the price,so they can do affidavit there(no need to do a age declaration oath at high court again or the affidavit (npc)covers authenticating at ministry of foreign affairs?)kindly shed more light.. thank you.

sandraigho:

This is the same certificate i have as well....Dont know how to go about the authentication at NPC.
Pls advise on how to get it done & the cost as well.
Thanks

@sandraigho attestation of birth certificate.
To get that you need
1: 2 passport photos
2: photocopy of means of identification(intl passport drivers license and co)
3: An avidavit of age declaration sworn on your behalf by your Mother, Father, sister, brother uncle etc but the person must be older than you (high court) their photo attached to it
When all these are ready just take them to the National Population commission office(heard one is in surulere) the amount it will cost am yet to confirm the exact amount lld get back on price tomorrow..
After the attestation of birth certificate is issued it ll still need to be authenticated by ministry of foreign affairs Abuja(especially if its for immi purpose)my question now is cant it be authenticate in Lagos ?will one have to travel to abuja just to authenticate it or authenticating is not applicable to this type of visa?thank you

disguy1:


That’s the same one I have. I am getting the attestation done at NPC Surulere. Actually going to pick it up in an hour. From what I’ve read, the short form Birth Cert is not recognised by the CO.

I advise you get the attestation done as well.

Cheers...

Thanks @ disguy will do same by end of this week but another thing now is that do we still need to authenticate it?cos a npc thread i read pple were authenticating documents especially if its purpose is for immigration,my question is that been reading that its only ministry of foreign affairs in Abuja that has power to authenticate doc is it true?cant it be done in their lagos office ?to Abuja its not moi moi matter oo kindly advise appropriately...also do u have a link at npc that can help fast track at npc office in surulere lagos..thank you

@Brownesugar
I authenticated my attestation of birth certificate at Ministry of foreign affairs Abuja. But find out if it can be authenticated in Ministry of foreign affairs, Lagos.

But since some people that were born in the 80's said that they used the small green birth certificate from NPC at the Embassy, then I think u should relax.

I was only advised to get the Attestation of birth since I was born before 1992 because on that attestation of birth certificate it stated that. "This falls beyond the coverage of the Act No.69 of December, 1992( which is the small green birth certificate) for inssuance of birth certificate. In the light of the above information gratefully accept this birth attestation letter in respect of...........My Names.""

So based on the above information it means I am supposed to have the Attestation of birth certificate.

In case u have to get the Attestation of birth certificate, you have to go to a high court to get an affidavit of age declaration that u will present at National population commission, is a requirement.

Thanks for the info @study4life ,@legitbachelor read at the prev pages of pple born before 1992 getting it made me ask,attached herewith is a copy of the green small one i have(want to know if its recognize at embassy/over there?) Tho lld see to getting affidavit of age declaration and attestation of birth cert..to leave no stones unturned..what do u guys think?

Study4life:


@Treasureprince
I have it too but I was advised by National population commsion staff to get "Attestation of birth certificate" since I was born before 1992 .
So I have to go for the "Attestation of birth certificate" and then authenticated it at ministry of foreign affairs.

Ohh ohhh @study4life i have the small birth certificate was born in the early 80's do i need to get the attestation of birth certificate from NPC?does the embassy recognise the small green one issued at local govt?if its neccessary to get the attestation of birth(80's)which ministry of foreign affairs are you talking about there lagos state gov or federal?kindly shed more light..thank you

@zada I have done my medicals already was just asking if you have gotten your results someone who did hers&for her kids@children practice ikoyi said it took 2weeks to get her results wanted to ascertain if its true... cheers

zada:
for lab test was #62,250 and #15,250. For everything. X-ray and other things.

@zada have you gotten your result @ children practice ikoyi?information reaching me is that result dont come out on time that it takes 2weeks...

emmarino:
.
You did both 1 day?

@emmarino yes did both same day the police certificate didnt take more than 40mins for me to get....
Did med first and proceeded to alagbon

Study4life:


@Brownesugar, pls help me check out if the stamp on your police report is the same with mine cuz I didn't see anything like "Alagbo" cuz it was emphazied on the mail i got from the embassy to ensure it is done at Alagbo police station, only Lagos that I saw on it.
Though I did it through police command Abuja( they said they usually send it to Lagos after taking the finger prints for issuing the certificate.

@study4life yes its like the one u hve here,find mine attached below

blazerichy:
Medical fees are different depends on the clinic used... I used International Migration Health Assessment center in Lagos and I paid N91,500 as compulsory fee notwithstanding if I have done any vaccinations before, then I paid another N17,780 for 5 [/b]vaccinations I got them that same day my hands where very heavy ehn .. all together I paid [b]109,280 ... IOM will give you two medical reports one for the embassy and for you... The embassy medical report will be sealed and untouched while the one for you will be open... It takes 3-5 days to get the report ready...

My Police report was done for 5,000 after the whole stuff I gave the guy a tip for the quick service. and it took just 35mins to get it done I received it that same day..

@blazerichy the heavy hand no be here oo my brother..lolz my hand has been heavy/swollen too since yesterday,was told not to rob or do anything to it other than take paracetamol if i become feverish or hve too much discomfort..... it will all end in praise In jesus name.. cheers

Treasureprince1:
nice info, please I want to ask, so for someone like me that stays very far away from Lagos, i'll still need to return to Lagos seven days after the medical screening to collect my result?

Yes @treasureprince1

efozee:


How much did you get your medicals done ? Are they sending the report to the embassy or they asked you to come get it later?

How much did you get your police report done.

@efozee the medicals is strictly by appointment,u have to book for a date on their website..www.qlifefamilyclinic.com but note:booking for a date only does not secure the date except you proceed to make payment after afterwards,you can make payment via remitta,paystack or to their gtb account u ll see the payment portal there,if u dont secure the date with payment it becomes invalid after 48hours(best u secure the date with payment)payment is 61,500 naira on the portal is 51000 but they said their engineer is yet to update the price blah blah.. once that is done you can now appear on the date u choose with appt letter,intl passport ,proof or payment,the nvc letter or(know your case number off hand)if its transfer to the bank or remitta and co you shld screenshot the proof of payment and take other document needed there..
Also note u ll still pay additional N23,125 there via pos for vaccinations&co making a total of N84,625.. you can hold additional money just incase but that was what i paid in total..
according to new directives from the consulate effective november 2019,all result are to be sent to the embassy and not given to the beneficiary again but after all test is being done they ll give u a date to pick up your immunization/result and co(ur copy i guess tho yet to collect mine),prior before then or that same date given to you(after med) your result lld have been sent to the embassy already, but the imm/vac result and vaccination card,ur copy (given after) with attachment below is what you ll travel with... guess the consulate wants the result gets to them even before u or before one appear for interview...
Lastly the police report /certificate cost 7k but i bargained to 6k&got it same day,for passport photograph no specification on it tho but its best if its a white background same as US spec cos US things prefer white background...
Hope this helps.. cheers..

Papuzzy:
