Hello All,

I would like to know if you would be asked to make any payment at DHL if you are requested after your interview to submit some extra document and your passport to DHL?

Yes you can use any of them address, but preferably use the sponsors address or joint sponsor whichever the case.

Not my spouse, its actually my Father. His mother [A US citizen] petitioned for him 12 years ago.
I asked because his mother is actually here in naija due to cold but her other children [My Dads siblings] are there in America.

If we answer yes, we can go ahead and use any of his siblings addresses right?

You don't have to. When you are invited to start start your process, you would be asked to upload it on the portal. If there is a need for you to send anything, they would inform you.

challawa:
please I want to find out if I can send my child birth certificate, my husband birth cert and our marriage certicate to nvc now?am on f4 and my pd is may 2007. and if I can how do I go abt it?thanks.

Hello have you heard any response from NVC? Please who else is in the house with completed case complete, with a current priority date waiting on interview letter from NVC? Lets see how many people are still pending.

baydok:
@KoolKesh

Thanks for your response. Yes i completed my application through the online portal.
I have sent an email to NVC concerning the issue and awaiting their response.

On another news Trump is trying to pass another immigration law to congress to approve.

Hello I want to believe you completed yours via the online portal, all communication is going to be through that portal and email, if they require some more information they would update the portal and your email as well. I know this because my brother(F4) is currently in the same situation and it was different from mine (F1). He uploaded all the document requested and when they needed more information or one document was not clear they made a request for more information through the same portal, that would stand/replace the checklist they usually send to those in the other process.

It does not hurt to call, but I believe they would tell you everything you need is on that portal, my brother is currently waiting for interview letter from them because his priority (Jan 2006) is current at the moment, I tracked his case on ceac website and it says still at NVC. There must be some kind of delay at the Nigerian Embassy because they update NVC when they have available slot for interview date.

baydok:
I am F4 and all my documents have been accepted by NVC since Jan. 30, 2019. It's up to 14 weeks now and i have not heard from NVC for complete case or check list. Is there anyone experiencing such a delay? By the way my PD has been current since Feb, 2019.

richhills:
Is it compulsory to fill the petitioner's address as the address to stay in the U.S and for the receipt of GC and SSN card? Advantages and disadvantages please.

It only makes sense for you to use the petitioners details or anyone acting as a joint sponsor, because technically they are the people that have agreed to take care of you through out the process and guarantee you would not be lacking when you arrive in the U.S. I don't know if you can use anyone else but I just believe it makes more sense that way. You would also want to use an address that you can be rest assured that your document would get there in one piece. Those document are sensitive information and they take them very serious here.

yinkaa2015:
I just received my welcome letter. When I login only my wife name was included my children were not as they were not born when the petition was made. I added them as derivative applicat. How long does it take for nvc to approve?

It won't be so long, you can keep checking your profile and they would email when it is approved as well. My brother also added his wife and kids to his own application and it was not long before they responded.

ringofGod:


Hello guys, my concern is the vaccination records- I don't have any but I know what Ive taken. Will this affect my medical screening?

Hello got your email today. You would need your vaccination records, if you don't have one you would need to do a new one.

Wizplynfrosh:
Can a permanence resident petition for someone

A permanent residence can petition for his/her spouse and children only.

Did you guys pay 116,000 each or together. If it was together how much did you for your daughter and yourself.

wendiescakes:
Thanks, getting there today was cheaper, took my daughters immunization along so I guess that’s y, both of us paid 116,000

To be on the safe side I believe you should send all parties passport and you should just identify who the Applicant is and who the derivatives applicants are.

AndreMarley:

Thank you so much for your reply, let me start with your last set of questions, No my sister has never applied for a Visa before, she has never travelled out of Nigeria too, and yes we submitted the pictures they requested for and those pictures have never been at the embassy.
However, I have written to the consulate via email on saturday as it has gone pass 60days, they replied me today, they requested for passport number of the applicant(i'm guessing it's my mum's own since she is the main applicant), also for the email we used while opening a profile, haven't replied yet, want to be sure i understand what they are asking for, Thanks for your response

Yes she can come in get her green card and other documents and return to Nigeria but she is not supposed to be out of the country(U.S) for more than 6 month. So as long as she is going to return back before 6 month she is fine.

samnijazz:
Hello Peeps, Please i want to confirm if someone can do soft landing in USA and return later to live there. My sister has an immigrant visa and will be rounding up her MSc in few months time and quickly wants to land , stay a little in USA and come back to Naija to finish up her program. Is it possible in the USA?

Hello everyone, it's been a while. Happy New Year!!!

You might be on hold for now cos the embassy is currently affected by the government shut down. So till the government re-opens things would take a slow course right now.

Marvin23:
Hi All, I have been on administrative processing since o. Had my u.s immigrant visa interview on the 11th of december. Was neither rejected nor issued a visa but was asked for some more documents which i sent via dhl. Now when i check it says administrative processing and was last updated on the 18th of December. I'm seriously praying about it.
I am in category F3 and my priority date is july 2006.
Anyone with similar experience?

Hi guys, its been a while. Wanted to give a little update, I waited for 3 weeks to get my SSN but it didn't come through so I went to their office to apply again. You can verify the address they have of you at the port of entry so you would be sure they have the right address to mail your social security number to.

As regards medicals, if you dont have immunisation records they would charge you for that depending on the hospital its mandatory.

I know its a long wait, but just be a patience my people it would all be worth it. As per career you can start looking at what you would like to do while you wait. For me I switched to I.T and it payed off cos its in high demand here so put that in mind while you wait.

Thank you for taking out the time to reply.

Dear koolkesh-

You will need to provide proof that you, or your sponsor, can fund the dollar amount shown on your I-20. This typically includes all costs of tuition, insurance, and room and board. This must be liquid funds, readily available. You must also prove that they have the ability to fund your continuing education. If you cannot prove this, then it can lead to a visa denial.

It is always to the applicant’s advantage to be truthful during their interview. This includes stating whether they have friends or family in the US.

Writing standardized tests are not required to obtain a visa.

LagosNIV

Hello VO,

Please I would appreciate if you help me look into this.

Thanks

koolkesh:
Good day VO,

Is it compulsory for an applicant's sponsor's bank statement to contain the full sum for the tuition, fees and living expense? or can the applicant also provide other documents showing assets owned by sponsor to proof financial capability?

Is it an advantage for an applicant to state he/she has friends (boyfriend/girlfriend) in the states where the school is? considering this person is a Legal Permanent Resident?

I read in a different thread that writing a standardized test is compulsory to aiding you get your visa, even if the course you applying for does not require one (for example the course you applying for does not require you to write GRE but they require you to write TOEFL or IELTS alone) Is this true or not?

I would appreciate your professional advise on this.

Many thanks.

honharr:

The change is like"instead of amarachi as in birth cert you now have amara in passport.and it's a middle name.
That's the wahala

I believe with the court affidavit you will be fine. But just like @prettychi also said you can also pose your question to the VO on that thread.

koolkesh:
Good day house,

I have been going through the thread but considering its a very long thread I decided to ask my question, because I did not see my question amongst the ones I have read and your help would be greatly appreciated.

Preamble: I am applying for a masters program in The University of North Carolina Wilmington (if anyone know about the school I'd appreciate a little feedback). The course I am applying for does not require GRE (It is written on the school website and an email from the school also confirms this). I am currently working with the federal government.

Questions:

1. Please my parent intend to sponsor my Masters program, but does the bank statement I need to present show all the money for tuition and living expense? or I can submit other supporting document like assets proofing they are more than capable?
2. Is it advantage to state that I know someone in the state the school I am applying in is or it is a disadvantage?
3. Do foreign student easily get financial aid?
4. Any advise on what to state to support the reason for the school one chooses would be highly appreciated.

I'd appreciate any input giving.

Many thanks.

Please house I'd appreciate your contributions, questions and advise.

honharr:

passport is current until 2022.How about a court affidavit showing that both names are one and the same.backdated to time b4 my case

I believe with a court affidavit and a reason for the change I think you would be fine. But whats the change like a overall change or using your middle name as first name? Because in my case I started using my middle name as written in my birth certificate as my first name in all other documents, school, passport e.t.c which was really not a biggie. If you can share the change we can have a better perspective of what you are talking about.

@ koolkesh wishing you all the best today.

Thanks everyone. It was successful. Got there on time, got on the queue, filed up inside after giving each us numbers. They returned document that they had in their custody. (Remember I told you guys my original birth certificate was with them, and I did declaration of age and the original was with them and I had no photocopy. It was not even an issue because they did not even ask me for anything.)

After that, it was biometric. Then the interview.

Questions:

1. Who petition for you
2. What does your mum do?
3. How many siblings do you have in the U.S
4. Where do you live?
5. Have you live somewhere else?
6. Are you married?
7. Do you have any kid?
8. Gave me a form to declare that if I should get married before I enter the U.S my visa would null and void.
9. Gave me a form about paying for my greencard before leaving.
10. Told me my passport would ne ready in 10 working days.

Was there from 6:30am to 9:50am. It was tiring. Thanks again for the good wishes, yours would come soon By His Grace.

P.S word of advise wear comfortable shoes.
