Contact them with your case number

Lilliesbud12:
Oh, thank you for your response here, just seeing it. No mails from Lagos IV. Though what we were told is that once we hear that the ban has been lifted, we should contact them with our case number and they will reach out to tell us what to do.

Please has anyone had their interview recently and what's the Visa issuing situation now? Thank you

internationalman:
I'm even more confused after yesterday ruling as to wether it's about the immigrants already in the US seeking for adjustment of status or applicants in those foreign 39 countries under ban who intend to migrate into the US.

I need clarification too.

Adeewa74:
Good evening… my mom file for me and my siblings in 2022 while she was adjusting her status to green card holder and she had been called for her interview last month which was granted.. my question is how many more years do we need to wait any one please help me with any answer

internationalman:
Congratulations bro.

Is it that the restriction is not yet effective or it doesn't affect cases that are already in the system pending interview...

Congratulations once again. See you soon in Yankee.

Hello people, please, I have an LGA birth certificate. Can it be submitted for NVC documents because my NPC birth certificate does not have my first name on it as it is written on my passport? Please advise.

Hi all. We are at the NVC stage of our U. S family based preference category. F1(Single adult children of U. S Citizen). We got our welcome letter early June paid all the visa fees and filled the DS 260 form online. and by the month end of June we submitted all documents to NVC. I read from a forum on Visa journey that the NVC usually write petitioners or beneficiaries on their Case complete. Those that have gone tru the experience, how long did it take to get case complete after submitting all documents to NVC? I created this thread for those going tru the NVC stage or who have already passed through the stage to share their experiences on the forum.

Note: the thread is for those going through the NVC processing or those that have already passed through it, for the family preference category.

@justwise, Pls sir, I beg u not to delete this thread, as it may help those who have just started their NVC processing ask questions on how to go about their case. As u know, our immigrant V. O on the immigrant visa section does not answer questions that has to do with NVC processing or how to go about filling forms at that stage. Good luck to all of us still waiting to join our folks in the states.

Please help me. I am in F11 Category (unmarried adult son/daughter of a US citizen). I am not supposed to marry but can have children in this visa category. I am not married but have kids. My interview went well. I just had a call from the embassy that they need my GPS address to my house for which I have sent them. Please if they come and know I'm single and live alone. how long will they take to approve my visa or how is the whole process going to be.

I understand that many of us have travelled and are finding our way in USA but please, let’s stick to the topic of this forum. For the past few days, there’s been a lot of discussion that has nothing to do with why this thread was created. Please, (I mean no offence but) if you want to discuss about employment, wages, oyinbo women 🤦🏾‍♂️, there are many threads that have been created for that.

Currently, there has been a lot of information concerning Trump’s immigration bans on many countries including Nigeria. We should focus more on this issues, and discuss on how to navigate this by sharing information and updates.

Most people here are at NVC processing stage (more or less) and are going through a lot (especially with all these immigration bans happening) so we should not derail this thread.

Like I said, there are other threads discussing different issues concerning America.

Thanks🙏🏾🙏🏾

We are in the same ship. I'm an intending immigrant too (F4 category). I have already submitted my documents to NVC and I'm waiting to get a case complete too. All what u need to know is written in their site (travel.state.gov). It will take NVC 2months or 11 weeks max for them to review your documents and determine if u would get a case complete or a checklist for additional documents/correction. However, u indicated u submitted your documents by end of June, so u should get a case complete this month end or mid September max. Lastly, hope ur priority date is current? cos u can't be schedule for an interview till ur PD is current and moreover, F1 and F4 category had a retrogression on the recently released visa bulletin for the month of September hopefully, it should return to normalcy by the beginning of a new fiscal year next month.

Hello everyone,

When is your priority date?

ttmacoy:
It's the first step when the NVC receive your approved application from USCIS, they create your case on their systems then you get welcome letter. The next stage will be to wait for your priority date to be current. What category are you applying for?


https://greencardpetitions.com/welcome-letter-not-recieved-yet


"What is a Welcome Letter?
After getting approval for your petition, USCIS will transfer your case for further processing to the Department of State's National Visa Centre (NVC). As NVC receive your petition from USCIS, the first step they take is the creation of your case in their system. Once this is done, NVC sends a welcome Letter by e-mail or physical mail.

An applicant has to wait until his / her priority date is current. The NVC will start its processing six to 12 months before your priority date is expected to be current by sending you a welcome letter. While in the case of “immediate relative,” NVC sends welcome letter shortly after it gets the file from USCIS.The welcome letter comprises fee invoices, case numbers, and invoice numbers. These numbers are required to apply for your visa. Once you get the welcome letter, you’re ready to start applying for your immigrant visa."

Has anyone been able to log in recently to CEAC website to check the application status?

Cutie1973:
Mine is 19 Aug. 2016. They have not sent anything. I think they stopped at 8Aug.2016 from the bulletin. So u can't start anything until they get to feb 2017

lily156:
What visa category?

pretty16:
Yaay. Congrats bro. How long after C.C. do u think they schedule interview date. ?

ayenikunle:
Really?

You mean NO question(s) was asked? The VO will just look at him/her and give out the letter without asking a question?
