Hello
We received our interview letter today May 14, 2019 but it stated that the interview has been scheduled for April 30, 2019. I’m confused I sent a mail to the embassy but they’re yet to reply.

That should be a mistake from nVC or embassy

Try to email them @ LagosIv@state.gov

And call their number so they can help u escalate your case

Hello VVIP
I'm a huge fan of Nairaland and I'm happy to be part of the house. My spouse filed for me since 2018 its been approved and we at the stage of filling the ds 260 form,I am the principal applicant ,I want to ask the house if it's OK for me to go get my police clearance certificate before filling the form.
Thank you

Yes it’s advisable to do that...
you can get most of the supporting documents even before U finish filling the Ds260 form... so once u are done and you are confirmed to send ur supporting documents u just send them straight.... no wasting of time

pretty16:

Hello Good day to everyone on this thread...

Am so glad to be here...

We had my F4 Interview and the consular officer said we are all good but we need submit a signed I-864A form along with our passport...

So today my MuM who is the principal applicant , Her visa status changed from Administrative Processing to Issued..

But me and My Brother who is the derivative Applicant visa status changed from Ready to Administrative Processing yesterday and the date was updated today...

My question is why are they delaying our Visa issuance?? Since we are one Family are we not meant to see Issued together?? Please I will appreciate your advice!

Thanks.

Hey Frankele have you gone to pick up the visa

We picked up the passport but there wasn't visa stamp in it....
What about you??
Have u gotten your visa

@Ollyruffy
if i can chip in a Quick one from our experience before the consular officer gives you the authentic Advice:
When sending your mails to LagosIV@state.gov, do you use your case number as the Subject of the email?? If not.. Please do so!
And also try to call this number +23412278955...and inform them about what happened ... They will help u do an escalation (or whatever they call it) on your case ... Then u can receive Reply from them as soon as possible.. Or at least it can speed up the rate at which u would get a reply!

I hope that helps... By Gods Grace we would Get our Visa Soon!
Amen!
Have a nice week!

Hello VisaOfficer,

I want to bring your notice to what happened to our case..
We submit the requested I-864A along with our International Passport as requested by The Consulate Officer during our interview since on the 26th Of March..
Ever since then we didnt hear any update on our case only for us to receive email from the DHL office on 30th of april to come pick up our passport which we did on the 2nd Of May but we didnt see any visa in the passport..
We immediately sent email to the lagosIV@state.gov as to why they would be returning our passport Without visa inside... They now replied us by Saying, because they did not see the I-864A form we were asked to submit.

We are not happy with the way we were being treated by the US Embassy ...how will they claim they didnt receive d document we sent but they saw the passport?? It doesn't logical

We have submitted another I-864A form again along with the passport through the GSS document collection center and We also sent a scanned copy to the LagosIV@state.gov ...and we hope they dont misplace our documents again.. And our case should be treated as soon as possible .
Once again .. We are not Happy with the way our time was wasted for good 30 days. Thanks!

hello guys.... My family and i had our F4 interview on the 19 Of march ...and the Visa Officer said everything is good that but requested for an I-864A form to be signed by her husband since our petitioner files tax together with her husband along with our passport....which we submitted on the 26th of March...



We just got an email(April 29) from the UsTraveldocs Document Collection centre... That our passport is ready for pick up... But what is confusing us is that can the Visa be issued without the CEAC visa tracker changing to Issued

Please i will appreciate your contributions..

shu9a:

No we haven't gotten the visa..
And it is already One month since we have submitted

What about you any update?

Lolu01:

You would pay it after u get ur visa ...
There is an Alien Registration Number that is on d VIsa that u would use in paying for ur GC..on the uscis website...

I hope u are clear?

USMissionNGRA:
Hello frankele,

Submitting too much documentation is never a problem. Don't worry about that. As for your other question, please give us a few days to work through your case. If you have not heard anything from us in the next week or so, please email LagosIV@state.gov for an update on your case.

Hello Visa officer
Good day and happy Easter


I sent an email to the US Consulate Lagos last week (April 9) requesting for an update on our case .. So I just received a reply from them (April 18) stating : 

"According to our records, visa issuance is pending receipt of I-864A for the petitioner’s spouse. Please scan to us at LagosIV@state.gov with the case number as subject."

I don't understand what this statement means because we have previously submitted the I-864A form to them since March 26th at the GSS document collection ,which i have told u about before, and we sent them an email few days later (April 5th) to ask for an update on the case and they did reply us on The 12th of April saying:

"We have recieved ur I-864A form and Your International Passport and a consular officer would review it and you would be Contacted when they are done reviewing it" 

...
So I am confused here as to why one email response is saying they have not recieved the document and the other email response says They have recieved the document .

I would appreciate it if you would explain what is happening?


And i would appreciate it if u give us any advice on the next step to take as the delay in our visa issuance is really causing so much stress and emotional breakdown to my Mum and Brothers...

I look forward to getting a reply from you .
Thank You .

Yes...it happens Brother...
I guess they were not ready for your interview ...
Don't worry...all is well!!
Just make sure u have all your documents at hand

Worriedgurl:

Mine is F4

Worriedgurl:


Ooops!!! I'm sorry, just checked my status now, I had a case update on 6th April and my status now shows "Application Received ". They requested for 2018 IRS tax transcript along with my passport.

Wow thats great...shows we are moving at d same pace..and its likely we get it soon..by Gods Mercy

I thought its either One sees Administrative processing or Ready or issued...

Worriedgurl:


None. What about you?

We got an update again on 06April 2019

But our case status still hasn't changed to issued!

But am quite disturbed about yours...what documents were u asked to submit and was ur INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT among the Documents?

shu9a:
Yes i was asked to submit my int'l passport+ AOS.
I am yet to submit tho.

This means you did not have to create am online account.

@shu9a Wasup now?? have u submitted your documents??

Worriedgurl:


The last update I got was when I think dhl must have delivered the documents to them. Getting an update recently is a good sign for you.

Hi guys. please did anyone get their medicals done from the hospital in Abuja. If yes, how did you go about getting an appointment, was it a walk in first come first serve or did you have to book an appointment first? Also how long did it take to get your results? I need to travel ASAP but would like to complete the medicals before leaving Abuja. Still waiting for my Interview letter but I believe it should come soon as it's been 3 weeks since I got my case complete email. Thanks
