The visa on you passport is valid for a year from the time you entered the US. It stands as a temp green card. Check the small details at the bottom you'll see some writing there


You don't need to wait for your green card to do stuff.

Good day guys,
I have been scheduled for my visa interview f3 and I just submitted some documents on the CEAC (pictures,calls etc) and I don’t know how long it will take for the documents submitted to be approved because my in person document review is soon.
And what other documents should I upload to show proof of relationship?

Carry everything you can carry , #Don’tDull.

it’s all about #PACKAGING…


Pictures , whatsapp chat 💬, money transfer receipts , birthday cards , handwritten letters , etc etc etc…. Arrange them neatly , don’t staple. Use a paper 📋 clip…

leanonme82:
Haa, mine is not even showing administrative processing at all. It just keeps saying 'no results'. Is it the CEAC visa status tracker you were using?

Follow all the steps aiguobs stated above ⬆️ ⬆️, concise and very sharp update.

aiguobs:
Please I want to ask is there any way IOS can deliver my passport to me instead of traveling to Lagos? I already scheduled an appointment, but I want it delivered instead. Thanks

I’m not sure about the delivery option , but you can send someone to pickup on your behalf.

They’d hand you a form , na that form you go fill give the person wey go pick am up for you.

I hope this helps.

One thing with people like you is, pride wont make you listen and you keep saying stupid things boldily.
You think I live in Nigeria? Damn....

Some of us are making insane amount of money as technicians, a skill that takes u less than a year to learn and sit for exam and get your licenses when. You pass the exam
Most companies are 100 percent commissioned.
Fix things are make percent off of that fixed, flip unit and make percent when it sells

Ellie123:
Congratulations!!
What visa category?

Thank you , IR2.

Picked up passport yesterday at OiS yesterday.

internationalman:
So, I did my road test about 3 weeks ago and mistakenly failed at the last step. The examiner wasn't in the car with me, she put a 2 way camera on my dashboard, one pointing to the road and the other inside the car. All she had to do was call my phone to give me directions on where to go and what to do. I had an adult with a driver's license sit on the passenger side with me without talking to me or making any hand gestures. That's the rule.

I had already completed the test, as I was about to enter the office building where the test began, unfortunately, I drove through the sign that says "do not enter" I drove through it because it was not properly placed. I appealed but they refused.

Yesterday, I went again for the test at a different location and passed it despite several mistakes. This time around the examiner sat with me in the car and he was very lenient with his judgement and acessment.

I didn't drive in Nigeria, I just recently started learning to drive about a month ago in the US here, so you can understand how excited I am to pass it. I know a guy who's driven in Nigeria for years yet failed the road test twice. On one occasion he didn't even get to get on the road because he ran over the cones while attempting parallel parking and reverse bay parking.

leanonme82:
During document review, did you have any document missing that they asked you to bring on the day of the interview? Or was it all tagged complete?

I had everything, there’s a list of documents that you’d need to checklist.


Follow through and make sure you have them to avoid unnecessary delays .

Spanishmilf:
Hello. So in September we book a dna with ddc dna the one recognized by the embassy we wanted to do dna as a supporting document. They refused to do dna for us saying since we got RFE letter the embassy themselves will schedule dna kit for us and i tried explaining to them it’s not requested by the embassy we just want to do it on our own. We couldn’t do it that day and they have refunded us. We used documents as our RFE
My question is this. Will that be enough? Im having fear of rejection or insufficient information
Has anyone submitted documents instead dna

As regards DNA , I don’t think you’re expected to do one unless the C.O does not find your case convincing enough. The C.O then hands you a 221g (DNA) , then you proceed to get it done. The DNA is usually the last resort if there’s skepticism surrounding your case.

For docs , gather as much evidence as you can btw you and your petitioner (chat records , pictures, money transfer records) etc etc etc etc etc

aiguobs:
Thank you very much. Do I need to label the documents or I should leave it like that cos I am using a sponsor and a joint sponsor.

They’d arrange it for you.

aiguobs:
Good day all. Please for those that have gone for document review, how is it like? How did you arrange your document for the consular officer to see? Pardon my questions I just don’t want to make any mistakes. Thank you and have a blessed new month of November.

Nothing serious , just make sure you carry all the documents they requested for.

If any document is missing , they’d ask you to bring it on the day of your interview.

After checking your docs , theyd put it in a file and SEAL it , you are not expected to open it.

You’d take it along on the day of your interview and the consular officer will open it when you commence your interview.

Cheers !

internationalman:
Ok.

You should be fine

Don't forget to bless this thread with pictures when you arrive in the US

I checked the ceac site yesterday (Friday) and I saw “issued”… how long does it take to get a pickup message from OIS ?!


Thank you

internationalman:
What's your destination airport in USA

Raleigh - Durham airport , North Carolina

internationalman:
I knew it got to be your father. They usually don't ask for DNA when your petitioner is your mother.

Your father is partially right.
Yes, air traffic controllers are currently working at the moment, but they are doing so without pay due to the federal government shutdown. These essential workers are facing financial strain, with some taking on second jobs, which has already led to an increase in flight delays and staffing challenges. Despite the unpaid status, officials state that air travel remains safe, though the situation is putting a significant strain on the workforce and could lead to further disruptions.

Copied from somewhere.

Thanks for the heads up, can wait to get done with.

Will keep you posted.

internationalman:
Is your petitioner your mother or father

Congratulations 🎉🎉.. Start making travel plans.

Na my old boy petition me , although he said democrats and republicans get small issue… is late November / early December a good time to travel ??

He said I might be stranded at the airport cause air traffic controllers are not working at the moment.. I don’t know how true that is…

Omo

internationalman:
How far bro, hope you have gotten your Visa now

My Oga , dna results came in positive at 99.9999%… I went for another medicals and was asked to drop my passport at OIS office. I’ve done that , patiently waiting for pickup mail.

Thanks so much
