Hello All, im applying for my green card (I-485 adjustment of status) and USCIS requires a copy of my birth certificate, the thing is i cant find mine and have people searching, i asked my Mom to reach out to National Population Commission, and they say they only issue attestation for people 18+, based on the reciprocity rules, USCIS wont accept this. I was born in Plateau state Jos 1997, is there somebody who can help navigate around this ?

Good Afternoon & Thank you! please house can you tell me how I can play this visa appointment waiting game to get a better date? Do I take the earliest date available to me now? (the 22nd january) or should I wait a few days like few people have suggested in the past that maybe someone will cancel and the spot will open up. How often does that happen (slots opening) and at what times during the day should I be checking to see if a slot for next week has opened up. Please i will appreciate if someone can kindly advise me. Thanks in advance.

I suggest you pick the earliest date you find, and continue checking and paying attention to this thread, i also did thesame thing

Congratulation to all those who got their visa approved today... Forward Forward ��

Please, is it possible to sign the "proxy collection" form, scan it and send to someone around my pickup location to print, and go ahead to help me pickup my passport from the collection centre ?

Wait for the day you will hear US embassy Abuja denied 10 people in a row.
This is not how the embassies work. The timing of your interview and the VO you meet and other factors determine how well you will do. The same Black guy that approved NoTimeZone today refused almost everyone he interviewed--at least 3 people I know from this thread.
What I am saying is that it doesn't matter which embassy you go. But of course, Abuja rarely sees the crowd as you'd find in Lagos, but they refuse visas there too. In fact, sometimes, we see more approval in Lagos than Abuja.
The key is to do your thing and pray to meet a nice VO. Where you are interviewed doesn't matter.

Good point!

The whole thing was so easy.... no other document was requested...all my statement of account etc were not requested...
I think Abuja Consulate is the real deal... this was my first attempt.... The environment was calm and relaxed... i definitely advise people to apply via abuja, from the horror stories i hear from lagos...

Visa Approved Abuja Consulate... Ill share transcripts once i am settled

Is it possible to transfer Reciprocity Fee instead of cash ? or is there a POS in the abuja consulate.

Would the consulate accept statement of account that is printed from Gtbank Internet banking portal ? ... PS it is signed and stamped...

Love the energy here today... Congratulations to all those approved .

Good evening all, there are available dates now for Abuja, and the first available appointment as at now is 2nd dec, 2020.

Thank you for this, i just rescheduled

Predstan:
Employment history and maybe age matter a lot in these situation if you don’t have funding. If you checked these two, you are good to go.

I am 23 ... My program requires $5K of funds, and i have around $20k ...what do you think ?

Hello guys, if i was self funding myself for my program, with bank statements showing more than enough funds, would this affect my chance in anyway?

R2bees:
Benue,Delta,Abia,Ogun

and your call up number?

abdulsemiu02:
with your formula, So one cannot be posted to 2nd or 3rd choice state? Bcs you only give condition for 1&4th choice. Oga park there

Is like you were asleep in maths class

use your scientific calculator and do callUpNo Modulus 4

you would surley get a value between 0 and 3.

if u get 0, that means ur 4th choice would be given

After reading through this thread
https://www.nairaland.com/2917489/how-nysc-select-pcms-state

i came up with a way to predict state of deployment as you would see in my comment in that thread.

Now to test the hypothesis can serving or past corp nemebers drop the states they chose and their callup numbers ...so i can test the hypothesis.

i came up with way to predict atate of deployment as you would see in my comment in that thread.

Now to test the hypothesis can serving or past corp nemebers drop the states they chose and their callup numbers ...so i can test the hypothesis.

Then going by this algorithm and Assuming your call up number is incremental, i.e ascending, then the following formula can predict your state

let y = your callup number.
let x = 4 (total number of choices).
then your predicted choice = the remainder of (y/4). if there is no remainder, then your 4th choice is given ;

for example, y= 170085,and x = 4;

and i chose Abia,Plateau,Lagos,Edo

my predicted state would be 170085/4 which is 42521 remainder 1, therefore i would be given Abia state.

Hey ghyz, so i know nysc dont post corp members to banks. What if i am rejected at the place they post me to, and i get accepted in a micro finance bank. Would nysc agree??

Miserablemee:
How horrible and miserable, Nysc gave me Kano, Enugu, Rivers and ¿Kwara. They deprived me of my beloved Lagos.
Nysc, una fada left lap.
Please how do I change my degree qaul from B.Sc to B.A and, I almost collapsed when I saw 2nd class lower instead of upper during my reg, how do I change this too?

Just login the portal by the left you would see a "Course Correction" link...click on it and do the needful

Oh another tip for the camera is to...place a phone's flashlight behind the laptops webcam..focus the light slightly above the face..it should work

dayoemmy:
Kwara, Osun, Kano and Edo state...I would prefer Osun tho...Osun PCMs I Hail oo

did you still see lagos and abuja amongst your options?

The trick to the face capture is, make sure the laptop's camera has correct sharpness and does not blur or mess with images....and also ensure that there is just enough lighting...FYI make sure light is not focused on the camera
