eoc4ever:



Its just so frustrating been placed on administrative review without knowing how long it takes. The long process at USCIS and NVC stages was enough to kill and now going on Administrative review is torturing. If it was possible for me and my spouse to have spent enough time together he would have done it but his present situation won't make that possible which i explained to the CO but she insisted on putting our case on AP, the whole situation is affecting my spouse's health and i don't want something bad to happen. Am sorry for ranting, i just can't hold my emotions.

We did submitted the contact sheet on Friday and we didn't receive any email telling us of any further step. Please ma kindly help us check if the contact sheet has been added to our case. LGS2014643058. Please ma, am sure if you take a look at our file you will be able to tell us the next step or give us an estimate of how long we have to wait.

Lizzy pls call me...i lost all my contacts cos my fone was faulty, thanks.

VisaOfficer:


In general, as soon as an officer approves a case, we issue the visa. That's because we don't approve cases until we're ready to issue. However, in some rare cases, the cut-off date for the visa category changes while we're processing a case, and we can't issue the visa until the case becomes current again. The worst part is that the computer doesn't alert us until we're actually trying to print the visa, so the beneficiaries have already gone home thinking that their visas will be ready in a week. It's frustrating for us and even more frustrating for the beneficiaries!

It usually only takes a few months for the dates to catch up again, but no guarantees. You can always check cut-off dates at http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/law-and-policy/bulletin.html .

ok thanks Ma

Hello VO Ma,i just want to ask as an F2A Beneficiary....after My interview and Visa is approved, do i have to wait for months or years for a Visa number to be available before i am been issued a visa or what pls, i am just curious.

VisaOfficer:


It's a problem. As the confirmation page itself states in big red letters: "YOU MUST BRING the confirmation page and the following document(s) with you at all steps during the application process..." We really, really need you to bring the confirmation page with you.

Thanks Ma, i just got it sent to me.

I asked My petitioner(My wife) about the DS-260 confirmation page and she can not get it since it has been submitted online, and i just want to tell you its not part of the requirement on my interview Letter, i hope this is not a problem MA.

Dear VO, My interview was scheduled for this Month as an F2A beneficiary...I just want to know if i am coming to the interview with a confirmation (Barcode) page of Form DS-160 completed online , Thanks.

patwilly:

VisaOfficer:


Just be ready to tell the truth. For obvious reasons, we don't publish lists of what questions we ask. In fact, we don't even have a list. Every case is different.

Thanks sir

Gbenge77:
The combination of high demand and limits set by law on the number of people that can immigrate in a year means you might have to wait for several years,so I am not able to reel that out off hand.Of course you can track the status of your application on the USCIS website.

Thanks so much Gbenge, name sake.

VO SIR, My wife who is a Nigerian filed for an Immigrant Visa on behalf last year Feb..before we got married last year Jan.we dated for 6 and a half years, i got my Interview date scheduled for NOV.sir, i would like to know similar Questions asked during this Interview and what are My chances of getting a VISA cos am been curious, Thanks sir.

Gbenge 77: Filing an I-130 petition for you means you might have to wait for several years before it is approved.But when she becomes a citizen,you qualify to join her immeadiately,and do not have to join a wait line.Either ways,you are not able to be issued with a tourist visa as evidenced by your immigrant intentions,considering your I-130 petition.

like how many years would take before the approval of an I-130?

Gbenge 77: If your wife is a Legal permanent resident,it would be extremely difficult to pay her a visit,as you might not be able to overcome the burden of proof contained in section 216B.Co's are usually not able to trust that one can "visit" one's spouse and return.The truth is that you might have to wait until she becomes a citizen(Usually after 5 years on a Green card) and files for you,before you are able to visit her or immigrate.This is usually the case.When was she issued with a green card?

although she has already filed for me this year with her permanent green card..she was issued 2010

Dear NL. i am planning to visit my wife in the US by dec. this year, she is a green card holder and we did our Registry this year January, pls what documents do i need to apply with, and what documents do i need to present to the embassy, more also when is the right time to book for an interview with the embassy, pls i need your urgent advice, thanks.

EatmyShorts:

Thanks, I am bringing the Trophy Home.

How was the interview bro ?

EatmyShorts: Hi.

Is it a Problem if you have Siblings in the USA that are green Card holders( Got Married) but were F1s at a Point.
Please I need a fast Answer, and what can I say if asked?
My Interview is Tomorrow.

I don't think that gonna help when it comes to f1 visa,I beleive the vo need to hear what ties you have back home to over there,it's just a suggestion you should not mention on your siblings over there...any other suggestion from other member of the house?,I wish you success on your interview tommorow,and pls don't forget to share your experience with us.,best of luck friend.

imperiouxx:

If you were to be interviewed on your credentials as a graduate, what they would like to see is your degree cert and GRE not necessarily TOEFL.

Ok imperiouxx...thanks so much bro for d advice.

imperiouxx:

You see all I crossed? If you were to be judged by the VO on more credentials, you are not safe at all.

@imperiouxx:I don't really understand what you are saying
