Please I need answers to these questions guys

1 : is it true that in most cases students visa applicant that have been petitioned for immigrant visa (but not yet current ) by their parents or family are denied visa ? In My case my mom just petitioned for me few months ago and it won't be current till 2024 or 2025 and I've just started my masters application.

2 : will applying to schools in the same state my mom lives be a problem for me at the interview ?

Hello VO,

Please I need answers to these questions sir/ma

VisaOfficer:
The processing is the same, but the wait may be shorter. Immediate relative visas filed by U.S. citizens are immediately "current" meaning they do not wait for a number to become available. These are for spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents. Siblings and older children will need to wait for a number. Generally, these waits are shorter for American citizen filers, but not always. The visa bulletin (search for that term) will give you a better idea.

That said, assuming everything is OK, your file will automatically convert from an LPR filer to an American citizen filer, so waiting these few months for her to gain citizenship probably won't make anything faster.

Regards,
VO

Thanks for the reply sir I really do appreciate
But sir will you rather advice she file for me now or wait till then?
And how long will it take for me to get a visa interview date if she file as a USC ?

Good day VO

sir/ma I will like to know if it is true that the petition of a united state citizen(USC) is attended to faster than that of LPR or they treat both cases in the same way..I'm asking because my mom is currently a LPR and someone advice her not to file for me (unmarried child over 21years old ) until she become USC in few months time.The person claim they will attend to her petition faster then than if she file the petition now.

I have the same problem today
Has anyone been able to solve this problem ?

Thanks for the reply but I've got black pairs and isn't it late to start looking for scarce purple gloves and head warmers now ?

Thanks for the advice but the question is
1: must the sweater ,hand gloves and head warmer etc be white ??

Good evening vo, please sir how long does it take before a petition filed for a 23year old son of a USC to be called for interview at the embassy?? I hear it takes up to 10years

I'm a beneficiary in my moms DV win back in 2011 but I didn't travel with her. But is there any chance of still traveling as a beneficiary ??

My last question sir is there any chance of getting a visit visa as a beneficiary for Immigrant visa ? to have spend some time with my mom before my nysc start later this year...

Thanks sir

streetMic:
Sorry, she can't easily file for you if you are not a minor...Filing for an adult offspring takes about 10years. Coming here with tourist and the hope to work is the deadliest risk ever but you go survive am if u get strength to persevere lol and changing tourist to F1 is another whole struggle. My 2cents for ya: Come in with F1, use your mom's link to do under table during hols or just wait till she becomes a full citizen then you can come visit and then

Thanks a lot for your contribution...I will start application for my masters now...seems that's the best shot I have now..thanks once again

Hello everyone , please I need your advice or opinion about this. I'm a graduate of computer science and engineering (engr major) from a Nigerian university..and I want to come down to America to work and study...someone advice me to apply for a tourist/ visit visa and when I get to America I will change my status and apply to a school for my masters..he said its cheaper and economical that way..But I know visit visa don't get work permit..My question is
1..Can I work with a visit visa??
2..can I go to school with a visit visa
3..is it possible to change my status from visit to another one...
NB : my mom is a us resident and will become a permanent citizen next year and can easily file for me....
Thanks

iRyan:
dude apply for students visa from here. You cannot go on a visit visa and study at the same time. Your application would be rejected and spoil ur chances of ever getting a visit visa again.

Thanks a lot Bro I really appreciate

My father always tell me "my son a wife that cheats on you can KILL you" be wise and be careful with a cheating wife

LagosNIV:
It depends. The petition process is handled by USCIS and goes faster or slower depending on how quickly you turn in all of the required documents.

Alright thanks a lot for the answer sir...have a blessed week

LagosNIV:
The legal way for you to immigrate to the United States is by having your mother petition. You can learn more about the process at http://travel.state.gov/.

I visited the site sir and I still can't get the answer to my question...sir, I want to know if she file petition for me with my age(22) how long it will take before I will be invited for interview at the embassy

Hello VO, good morning

My mom have been living in usa since 2011(after winning the visa lottery)..she wants to file for me (I'm 22 and will be 23 march 2016) but I have few questions...

1..how long will the filing process take?

2..how long before I will be called for interview cos I learnt it takes long time for someone over the age of 18(not sure if it's true)

3..if the process will take longer than expected what other legal way can she take to get me there with her..

Thanks

Thanks

ebdib:

What program are you aiming for?
My Pm system is currently shabby. My yahoo email which i used to register this acct is currently acting up ill sort it out soon enough though.
cheers

can you enlighten me more on the steps involved in this masters application....i know more about the undergraduate processing but this is my first time with the masters program..thank you

kennyrony:
You do not need NYSC discharge certificate to apply for Visa, but I doubt if you gonna meet up with spring 2016, cos u will be graduating dis November and after ur final exam am sure your result and transcripts is not gonna be out immediately, at least 2-3 month depending on ur school, by this time you are already in early 2016, of which you can't meet up with the deadline anymore. my advice is that u work towards fall 2016 session, you might av even start ur youth service, then u abscond. All d best...

nedum360:
You don't need discharge certificate to apply for visa. NYSC could b skipped only if you have plans of leaving 9ja for good.

Thanks alot guys i will start working towards fall 2016...

hi guys, i will be done with my degree by november 2015 and i dont want to waste time as i plan to start my masters as early as 2016..mind you i have plans to skip the nysc( i dont know if that is possible ) but please guys i need answer to this and when is the best time to start the application for my masters program in the states....can the Nysc be skipped?? if yes...what are the chances of getting the visa at the embassy without NYSC certificate??

Thank you all for the advice

Funny you ...please I need a more mature answer

..

Dear visa officer..I want to ask you few questions,,but before I ask I want to tell you my story..........my mum won the DV lottery in 2011 with my name has a beneficiary..and when we went to the embassy for interview the VO wanted to give me visa but I told him am not traveling with her cos am still in school here....but now am ready to go and I learnt the USA has stopped visa lottery for Nigeria and now am afraid if I can't still get the visa.......
My questions now is :: will I still be granted the visa ....if yes what are the necessary things I need to bring with me to the interview
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
