Qeremin:
Hi guys,

Looking for some advice.

My US Citizen dad filed for me, my brother and my sister in 2013 so our priority date is November 2013. He should have filed since he was a resident, but that one is a long story for another day.

Last year we got the invitation to start processing before the Trump Ban. I have been based in the UK since the filing, my sister in Nigeria and my brother moved to Germany 2 years later. We didn't know about this marriage causing a change of category from F1 to F3, so my sister got married and so did I, only my brother remained unmarried. During the process of the NVC processing, my sister was advised that her category had changed because she got married. However, mine never changed even though I added my wife and said she was travelling later. I even added my marriage certificate but they never changed my category.

Fast forward to 2021 after the Trump ban was lifted, my brother got his IV and is now in the US. Mine took a while longer but NVC scheduled my interview for next week. Yesterday I got an email from the US Embassy in London saying that I should confirm my marital status as my DS 260 says I am married. I reply confirming that yes I am married and that much is clear from my DS260. They send the following reply back:

"As now you are married, your visa classification changed from F1 to F3. According to the visa bulletin on travel.state.gov, your priority date is not current.

Unfortunately, we need to cancel your upcoming visa appointment.

Please continue to check the cut-off dates on the visa bulletin by visiting www.travel.state.gov when your priority date becomes current."

This email came from an inbox for submitting documents, so I am assuming this is not the person who will conduct the interview?

Now I have no problem with this as I assume my luck has just run out, but alas something is still up. I logged into CEAC, and it shows my Category was now F31. A couple of hours later, it shows my category has reverted back to F11, it is almost as if someone changed it back or there is a glitch in their system. My appointment has not been cancelled and it is still saying I should attend. I was meant to attend my medical today, but I decided not to attend so I don't waste my £350 plus more for vaccines.

I have now been thinking should I attend the Interview since this will not cost me any money, and the worst they can do is refuse it? I have nothing to lose as I am a UK Citizen and I am ok ish here.

What is the advice of this house on this complex case, and has there been any case in the past like this?

Dont bother it will be a waste of time both yourself and the consular Officer. You’re now in F3 which means you have some more time to wait. Good thing is that your visa will cover your spouse and kids if you have any.

AloneTK:


Hey bro!
Please, at what point were you requested to provide your DNA then?
Was it before USCIS approval or after the approval (while case was already at NVC)?
Any idea when they normally request for it in cases involving those in FB3 category?
Thanks.

Before Uscis approval

My dad is a US citizen. He filed for me about 5 years ago.

Thus, I'm the primary applicant for a US immigrant visa.

Over the waiting 5 years, I have passed my DNA test. Recently, I got married and we now have a son.

About 3 months ago, I received some messages from the NVC and I have completed and paid for my IV application fee. I equally added my family as ACCOMPANY.

Unfortunately, I am unable to pay for the application fee of my accompanying spouse and son.

How do I pay for them?

The message on my dashboard reads: "NVC cannot review your submitted documents until we have received all the required documents DS-260, Civil Documents and Financial Documents. Once these documents have been submitted, we will review your case....."

Does this message mean I have some outstanding documents to submit to the NVC? If yes, how do I know the documents am I yet to submit?

I mailed NVC for clarifications, and the NVC said I should pay for my wife and son to complete my application.

Unfortunately, the NOT PAID icons against my wife and son's names are still not selecting on my phone - so I can't pay for them.

My SUMMARY INFORMATION reads: "Due to the numerical limitations on immigrant visa issuance prescribed by law, this petition is not eligible for further processing at this time. The NVC will retain the petition until an immigrant visa becomes available...."


I'm confused. The whole family is worried.

What do I do now?
Or should I change my family to follow-to-join?

you just changed categories you’re now in f3. You still have a number of years to wait.

Kolizomanizo:
Hi everyone. Can someone tell me how long it takes for immigrant visa. My application was just submitted today. Do I have to wait for years? I am married with 2kids which are 2 & 4. My Dad just filed for us. Is there a way to fast track it?

patience dear that’s all you can do. Live your life, just know that one day sha you’ll leave and also pray for good health for your dad.

1. My dad lives alone he actually filed for me and my siblings. We actually 3 and all of us have children the children in total are 7 plus us so we are all 10 in number. My dads income is 36,000 but we all have one joint sponsor my brother and his wife. My brother has two properties pls can it cater for the 10 of us ? My brother had 5 children in his house

2. Since we all have different I-130 and we all got different interview dates will it be judged according to the principal applicants and its derivatives? I mean my little sis who has only one child will she be granted the visa since my dad income can cater for her and her child or all us will be judged together?
please answer both questions above

your dad is going to need more than 1 joint sponsor that’s a lot of people intending to migrate.

[b]A Very Big Mistake Of My Life
[/b]Negro please
Hi nairalanders.

Please pardon me in case of any grammatical error. My story will be long, pls kindly bear with me and read to the finishing point. I'm ready to accept any insulting comments, it doesn't matter to me now.

I'm a 25 years old guy, not really financially buoyant but an average, money never dries in my pocket and back account as a hustler. Am currently still in part time program in university.

Now let me go straight to the point, here is my story. I started dating one beautiful girl back then in 2014, we were in love until something came up. There was a time I came home and she visited, that was the beginning of our separation, my mother warned me to stay away from her that she doesn't like her.

Honestly, I didn't know how to breakup with her without hurting her because she loved and cared for me so much. I love my mother so much and I listen to her as well. So, I started to avoid her, reducing my number of calls with her, sometimes when I visited home I won't tell her. All these to make her change her mind but all to no avail, I couldn't tell her what's up so that she won't hate my mother and make both of them enemies of each other.

She noticed my unprecedented and unusual behaviors, she asked me what has she done I only told her that I was very busy and concentrating on something. She later got fade up and started minding her own business because sometimes she would call I won't pick her calls, so she decided to let me be.

Fast forward to early this year, she went for a business trip and returned, so I decided to pay her a visit because even though we are no longer in love but we are still friends. I was hoping to visit her in her shop but she wasn't there, she told me to come to her apartment, I went there, we gist and had funs, she started making a move to me and we eventually had an unprotected sex.

I was thinking that she was a big girl and can take care of herself but after one month plus she called me and told me that she was pregnant, I was speechless and couldn't believe her, she threatened to report the case to my mother if I didn't show up and proffer solutions, my mind jumped. I hurried to her place and she showed me the pregnancy test result, we calculated the months and it was exactly the day I had sex with her, from that day till the month is exactly what was written on the paper.

To cut the story short, I got lost in thought until she waked me from my daydream, I told her straight that I wasn't ready for that, she should do something about it, so both of us agreed to terminate it, it was done successfully, I wasted much money on that moment but it didn't bother me.

So, after a while she called me and told me the sudden changes in her business that money disappeared from her hands always. She went home and complained to her dad, her dad suggested they should visit a native doctor to find out what was the problem. They visited the native doctor and he apparently exposed and told her what she did, that the pregnancy she terminated was the reason behind her misfortune. He listed all the things she will buy for cleansing and the total money involved. She called me and told me the development and demanded my own contribution (money), at that moment I didn't really have money to provide and she couldn't believe me.

Now am afraid if she will angrily expose me because she told her people that the person that got her the pregnancy is not around he traveled abroad. I haven't answered her since then because I have been busy thinking about my mistake, regretting the day I visited her, crying had I know. I returned but I didn't tell her so she won't visit me. Right now am having a double mind if I should adhere to what she told me by contributing money for the stuff, but the other hand, am asking for God's mercy upon my life, so if I should contribute money now it means I will be committing sin upon sin. I don't really know what to do now, I told her that I will visit her whenever I return to discuss with her but I haven't done that.

Presently I have a fiancee am dating now, my mother knows about her and she accepted her as well, also thinking about settling down with her when the time comes. I will hurt and loose her if what I did exposed.

Pls advice me my good people before I commit suicide and end everything, you can insult me if you like, it doesn't matter to me now, am very desperate human being now. The native doctor even told her to tell whoever that got her the pregnancy to also do his own cleansing or else he will encounter problems in life.

Should I also listen to the native doctor man or seek God's mercy, of whose report shall I believe..? Will there really be any problem, and what do I tell her now.

Negro please
