dicsnemma:Anyone can call. But I recommend your fiancee calls. She might get better audience. However she needs to be specific on what you guys want from the Embassy. Do you guys want to get married before she leaves? Or Do you intend going with her to the sea? Or do you want to wait for her to come back before moving to the States? The Embassy can expedite interviews but they require a very convincing reason for that. The Embassy can also extend Petition Expiration date as well if you provide convincong reason. 2. I did my police report last month and it expires in 3months which is January. Will it still serve?Police Report has a validity of 1 year. So you are good. 3. Our case according to NVC has gone through administrative processing and will be sent to their Embassy in Lagos, at least that was what they said 2weeks ago, but nothing still shows whenever i track it. So I worry that i might not be able to find an interview date for January.What some people is to go ahead and schedule an interview date with their casenumber and then hope that the Embassy will receive their case before then. But its always recommended to do that if you have a genuine reason to do so. In your case, why aee you concerned about getting a January date when your fiance won't be in the States by then? 4. Does the embassy expedite interviews?Yes they can. But they rarely do unless for a very convincing reason (mostly health related, I think). 2 Likes |

Glorioussugar:There's also the need to go with the letter of marriage commitment from you guys within 90 days. I also recommend you go with the documents your fiance submitted in the i129f along with affidavit of support supporting documents (eg copy of fiancee birth certificate, international passport, tax returns, bank statement, employment letter, etc). You can also go with documents that supports what you filled in DS-160. 2 Likes |

capello1:Yeah disregard that text. It's just an automated text which is based on what you filled in your ustraveldocs profile. All Immigrant visas are processed and collected on the Island in Lagos. 1 Like |

brownesugar:You are fine. I also had similar issue when i was trying to Schedule a date in October 2018. My petition was to expire in January 11 but the earliest available date was January 22. So I picked that date (January 22) and went for the interview prepared. I also sent the Embassy an email to tell them I couldn't pick any other earlier date. My petition validity was extended without me even knowing. It was when I got my Passport that I saw the extended validity on the Visa Stamp. 2 Likes |

Treasureprince1:I seriously doubt it. I think all Immigrant Visa Pickups is in DHL Office VI, Lagos. |
Travel / Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by LegitBachelor: 3:24pm On Nov 08, 2019 |
capello1:I think it's only the DHL Office in Victoria Island that is in charge of Immigrant Visas. I got a similar mail that my passport is with Isolo because that was what I filled in the form while scheduling my interview with ustraveldocs but eventually I had to go to VI to get my passport. So if you are in Lagos, I advice you first go to VI to collect your passport. Its only if they say they don't have it that you can then go to Abuja. But i seriously believe your passport and other package is in VI. I have a question. Did the CO give you a white paper after the interview. If he or she did, that white paper has the DHL address in VI where your passport should be in. |

dicsnemma:I don't understand your question. Why do you need your fiancee to send you her pay stubs? And can't she send it you online for you to print? And what is the exact complaint you made to NVC that made them refer you to the Embassy? I'm asking because NVC has no business adjudicating over K Visa. The only thing they do is give your petition a case number and then transfer to the appropriate Embassy. Dont mind my many questions. I just want to understand your case. I will answer some of your questions even though I don't really know why you are asking them. It takes the Embassy at least 7 days to respond to emails, so wait a little while. If You want to call, click on this link: https://www.nairaland.com/4800968/usa-fiancee-k1-visa-thread/46#80773637 Their number is somewhere on that post. Don't worry about your case expiring by January 26. As long as You are not the one delaying your case, you are fine. Just be proactive. Follow up with NVC to get your case number. Track your casefile until you can confirm it is READY with the Embassy. Then schedule an interview and do all the necessary things like police report and medicals. Then prepare and go for your interview. 2 Likes |

Sukey:That's crazy. Maybe they were overwhelmed on that day. Generally it's preferable to go there very early. I went there by 7am or thereabout and dropped my name with security. Perhaps those who came later in the day will be sent back or asked if they have an appointment. |

sharpman1:Ok, thanks. I think this is the Trump effect. Anyways the good news is that they are not saying the petition won't be extended, they are just saying it will be extended if the visa is approved. That to me is a general statement that applies to even those whose petition isn't expired. However the bad news is that no grace period will be given to anyone who forgot some documents at home. You just have to go prepared with all arsenal of documents (which is what everyone should even do regardless of whether the petition is expired or not). 1 Like |

Sukey:Really? Are you sure? No appointment was needed during my time. You just need to go there early in the morning, drop your name with the security men and your name will be called on a first come first served basis. So unless this is a recent development, then I doubt it. Hope you are not confusing the US Visa Applicant with the Canadian Visa Applicants there? Those applying for Canadian Visa need to schedule appointment with Qlife but US Visa applicant don't....unless the rule changed this Month. The Clinic in Abuja however needs appointment for US Visa applicant. 1 Like |

gladeria:Yes it's still valid. And I'm not angry. Why would I be . Police Clearance Certificate is valid for a year as far as the Embassy is concerned. So even though it reads 3 months on the document, it's still valid beyond that period and will expire after one year. 1 Like |

Treasureprince1:No wahala, the immunization record and medical history is just to guide them on the kind of vaccine to give you. Most of the time they don't even have any regard for the immunization record because they cannot verify its authenticity. They will also ask if you've had chicken pox in the past. If You say yes then it means they won't give you that vaccine. |

Omokaba2019:https://www.nairaland.com/4800968/usa-fiancee-k1-visa-thread/8#74556303 You don't need any appointment. Just go there with the NVC Letter, your international passport, your passport photo (make sure it's the size they want: 4 x 3), your ATM card (for payment) and records of any past immunization you've done in the past. |

Dutchleez:Oh maybe I didn't understand what she meant. @Glorioussugar, there are two bar code numbers on the Interview Confirmation Printout. One will be that of the DS160 the other will be that of the Interview Confirmation. So as long as you can see a bar code number on the printout that matches with the DS160 number, you are fine. I think you really need somebody who knows the process to be physically with you so as to guide you properly. 1 Like |

blazerichy:DS160 form for B1/B2 don't have Past Work Experience and Travel History if applicant is a female. So I guess it's the same for K1 visa. So I think its normal. |

Glorioussugar:I think that's okay. When filling DS160 for B1/B2 visa, the Past Work Experience and School Attended column is removed for women. I don't know why they do that. Perhaps the same apply for K1 since its the same DS160 form that's been filled. 1 Like |

Glorioussugar:This is vague. What do you mean by Adminstrative Purpose? Even me don't know what you mean there. I don't think the CO will too. If you dont want to be explicit you can just put the reason you were denied: for me I put I was denied because I couldn't demonstrate enough ties to Nigeria at the time. The blue paper you got when you were denied explained the reason you were denied. 1 Like |
