Hi officer thank you so much for your last explanation on the sb1 case, my name is Adebowale ericsson. I applied for a sb1 and it was approved I am currently in the USA, but I was given a file containing a lot of documents when I was receiving my visa. I was told not to open it and to give it to the officer at the port of entry, but I put in a different address in my form which I'm currently not living in. Sir please what was in that file? and is it really important for me to get it? please I need your reply

VisaOfficer:


Honestly, I am having trouble understanding what you are asking. I know you are 16, but please consider using proper grammar and punctuation going forward. I count one period in the above remarks. I certainly am no grammar taskmaster, but it will be very helpful for people trying to help you. This advice is also for the general Nairaland population as I have noticed an overall degradation in the quality of the posts.

I think what you are saying is you have been out of the U.S. for the last several years. If so, you are actually not a green card holder as a green card, by law, is technically no longer valid if you have been out of the country for more than 365 consecutive days. Unfortunately, this is a common problem, especially among older relatives. You will need to prove that circumstances beyond your control kept you from returning to the United States for at least one day per year over the last six years. Your age is a mitigating factor, but it is not a waiver.

If your mother is an American citizen filing for you and you will be under the age of 18 before reaching the U.S., then you don't actually need an affidavit of support. Your mother would fill an I-864W which is an affidavit of support waiver. If she is not a U.S. citizen then she will have to file the normal affidavit of support.

On other documents, you will need a birth certificate. If you need to get a new one, that is fine. However, if the consular officer needs more evidence, he or she will request it, up to and including DNA, though that is never "required," per se.

The returning resident process can be long: you will need to apply for returning resident status, and if the consular officer approves your application, then you have to re-apply for an immigrant visa but without a new petition. The process can take several weeks to several months and is not guaranteed. If you don't meet the requirements of the returning resident application, your mother will need to start over with a new petition for you.

Regards,
VO

Thank you very much Sir, I was actually nervous while typing the earlier text

My mom isn't a citizen yet so she'll have to fill that out also I was born in a different country which is quite far from Nigeria and I can't travel there now.
