please i need an advice on this

Hello @sprumbaba I would love to talk to you about this. Thank you.

Sprumbaba:
It is not everyone. Some are not doing stocks. People are making bags in the US if you have the right skills and you are in the midst of the right group. You do not know what you do not know. There is a job here that only Indians and Nigerians are doing it. The Indians cornered the job with H1B visas claiming no has the skills to do it before we Nigerians entered the scene (Thanks to Trump craziness). I will rest my case here. Have a blessed day.

@snowland I would appreciate getting the Big Data materials too. I tried sending you an email.

snowland:
I was once in Texas too. PM me, I got some documents to give if you're interested in IT (Big data). Congrats and welcome to the God's own country, land of the free and home of the brave.

They are on March 2020 for F1. To give you an understanding of the situation, in Oct 22 they gave F1 DQ early March IL. Again in Feb 23, they gave F1 DQ late March IL. So you see how slow they've been.

Hi everyone. Please my sister has been waiting on her interview notice and I’d appreciate any information I can get.
PD: May 2013
VC: F1
DQ: July 7 2020
We’ve been getting the 60 days emails for a while. I bug the NVC every time but they push it on Lagos. Has anyone had an interview scheduled in this category? I would like to have an idea of what dates the embassy might be in the interview scheduling. Thank you.

Join Nigeria/America green card group on Facebook for more information. Seems like you're IR5 .....I think they are at around September 2021 DQ. I would say your dad has about 1 year to go.

Jorryy:
Hello everyone, please i filled for my dad and he's been DQ since July 2022. Please i want to know when it's possible for him to get an IL and what month/year did they interviewed last? Thanks

F1 has been at March 2020 DQ for about a year.

@Fourcade I'm unable to send a PM to you. Please, I need some info about Cameroon

Fourcade:
I have been here for a lonnng time

It seems you have had your fill of 'Poisson Braise' that you would prefer that in Limbe.

Cool though!

Hello @manforgu
I sent you a message. Thanks

manforgu:
Presently I'm not there, but can give u any info u might need cos that's my second home.

Yes, it means your visa was approved Aug 19th and you have till Oct to use it. Seems like your agent is trying to pull a fast one on you.
Send the screenshot to your agent.

MummyHalo:
Hi,
I checked visa application status using the link you posted and I got this. Please what does the active status mean? Does it mean the visa has been approved cos I can see visa validity date. My agent keeps telling me there is no update yet.

Yup ..... from the UK. If you're British then of course you don't need a visa. But if you have a Nigerian passport, you need a visa through a travel agent. You can also have your hotel process your visa for you but things are different now for holders of a Nigerian passport. So in my opinion, go with a Nigerian travel agency that is familiar with the new rules.

olenime:
from the uk ohh

Wakanow is your best bet. I don't work for them abeg. Email them.

olenime:
Guys pls how do i apply dubia visa from d uk? I need help with d link to apply

Did you confirm yourself that your visa wasn't issued. Check on this link using your passport number https://smartservices.ica.gov.ae/echannels/web/client/default.html#/fileValidity

I don't know about wakanow but I heard that some agents tell you your visa was rejected then tell you to pay again and reapply. Meanwhile, your visa was really issued the first time.

Ble1990:
Good day house .I don't know what to do right now I applied for a dubai visa through wakanow after booking round trip ticket with them and paid their fee ,I even have a confirm hotel reservation in Dubai for five days, Sox months bank statements,just to get a reply back on the 18th that my visa was rejected.
Any advice on what I can do right now ,mean while I have quickly cancelled my flight ticket in other to get a refund and not loose everything.
Pls any help here ..

@prince00007 please can I connect with you by email. I'm in the same shoes as you. Thanks

prince00007:
Hello Guys,

Please i need your advise in regards my case, My mom filed for me since 2013 with priority date April 2013. I had to expedite it from NVC to Lagos Consulate which was approved recently.

So here is my question, I got the Packet 4 Guidance from Lagos consulate but i cant find any available dates for interview. How do I schedule for an interview since there are no available dates on the us travel docs portal? Will the embassy provide an interview date for me or I need to reach out to them for interview availability?

Any suggestion & guidance will be appreciated.

Thanks

I haven't given any wrong information. And you're preaching to the choir - I know very well that DQ does not mean that one is current.
Unless you work at the consulate, what you think is fact is not absolute.
You don't have to agree with me and it's quite a stretch to label it as false information. But I do know for a fact that a DQ Dec 2019 + current got an IL on Jan 17.
That's that. I hope everyone gets an IL letter soon.

[quote author=Kennytowel post=110871230][/quote]

Do you mean that those with a refusal who had follow-up interview ticked on their paper can just go to the consulate on a Thursday and they will be attended to? What time on Thursdays.

mrsnoname:
No, they don’t have to book. They can just go there any Thursday

Lol it's not a competition but I belong to more than 3 groups. Fact is - On Jan 17, I know a F1 Dec 2019 DQ got an IL letter and I know a F1 Feb 2020 DQ got a letter.
You should also know that not everyone gives an update on these groups. And no matter how many updates we read about, we're not privy to everything that goes on within the consulate.

Kennytowel:
That's not correct. Those that were DQ Feb 2020- to early March 2020 were the only ones who received IL for the F category.
Jan 2020 and Dec 2019 DQ received theirs last year.
I belong to about 3 immigration groups, and am saying this is a fact, and not as an assumption

There's a space after your 8 though

DoubleDaDu:
This is what I get when I copy and join it manually.

Not really true. On Jan 17 2022, Dec-Feb DQ for F1 received their IL same time.

[quote author=Kennytowel post=110754029][/quote]

Yes, I have received the 60 days notice several times.

Rudolfchris:
Thank you so much for the update. Wow..your interview letter might just be next. Yours is so close. Please endeavour to update us when you receive your letter. Have you been receiving the 60 days reminder since you got DQed?

F1
DQ June 2020
PD Nov 2013 (current)
Still no interview letter

I believe F1 up to Feb 2020 DQ have gotten interview dates.

Rudolfchris:
No bro. I don't have any idea. Please if you have any idea don't hesitate to intimate me. We need to know how far they've gone with interview letters.

You're an immigrant. You can go to any state.

philips3:
Good day everyone, please I need your advice. I have USA immigrant visa. Is it possible to go to another state in the US that is different from the address and state I used in my application and during my visa interview without negative effect at the port of entry in the US?
I intend to move from Nigeria to the US.

It was submitted on the 22nd

Dampops:
No he/she shouldn’t be worried. Although it’s been taking 2 days for the application to move to processing stage after submission…so it’s unusual…but no cause for concern. If you call them, they will remind you that they advised 2 months…

What specific date was it submitted?

@Dampops should a friend be worried that the status has remained at "Application received" for 4 days since submission through IW.

Dampops:
Hope you’ve been able to get an appointment. It’s been difficult for those that submitted last week and were refused to get interview dates

I hope you're keeping safe. If I were you, I would appeal to other countries before transferring to Nigeria as the backlog in Nigeria is too much. Eg, you can write to the consulate in Turkey to see if they will take your case. Explain that you're resident in Ukraine and the consulates there are closed due to the war. At worst, they'll say no. At best, they'll say yes. I suggested Turkey because apparently their backlog is not that long and some sharp Nigerians have moved there just so that they can get there interview letters faster. And apparently, it's not that difficult to become a resident there.
If Turkey doesn't work, write to other consulates in Europe. All it takes is for someone to say hell yeah we'll take him.

Sammiebabatunde:
Hello there. I need your candid opinion on this please.

I got married to a US citizen but I'm currently in Ukraine and due to the unrest and uncertainty of war with Russia, all US consular services in Ukraine have been shot down. I have until August as a legal resident in Ukraine and our Cr1 (Marriage visa) is at the NVC level, meaning that, getting an interview date is the next thing. My questions are:

1. Do you think transferring my case to the US Embassy in Nigeria is a great option considering how overwhelming the backlog is over there?

2. Do you think remaining in Ukraine makes any sense as to not knowing when consular services would resume?

3. Do you think transferring my case to an African country where US consular services are faster is a great deal? If yes, please advise on which African country.

I really hope I get a helpful response and please I'll highly appreciate your suggestions. Thanks!

Since your wife's case is already at the Lagos consulate and no longer at NVC, you *might* be able to schedule an appointment by yourself. Log in here and see if it allows you to schedule an appt https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/?country=Nigeria

AkanoGlory:
Good Day All,
I have been follow this wonderful and useful trend for sometime, and I always found it helpful.
This is my first time of asking question, because I usually get my answers from other people's questions.
Pls I really need a solution on this
Myself, my wife and child got an invitation letter last year August 2021, the interview went well with me and my child, however, my wife was not allowed to attend the interview because she has to go for a further screening. Thankfully, the test results came fine after ten weeks. And since October last year 2021 we have been looking for interview date for her till now, even the Medical is expired. How possible can we get an interview date for her. We understand we have to go thru another medicals. Pls kindly assist.

An international passport should only travel across borders in the possession of its bearer. Unless it was mailed directly from an embassy or a home office like the UK does with overseas passport applications.
I know someone who was denied a visa (not US) because her NG passport didn't have an entry stamp into the country that she was applying from.
It was extremely risky to have remained in Qatar and send your passport to Nigeria.

Mamajt:
no I didn’t , my husband took it to Lagos and submitted for both Of us

I got a visa through a hotel last month (even before the ban was lifted) and it took them about two days. And I have done this before several times. Most hotels require a deposit and they refund it to you as soon as you send them your UAE exit stamp.

SoloD94:
When last have you seen it work for someone?

You guys should have just booked at a hotel that processes visas for guests. Emirates also does this. Why did you use an agent at all

otomori:
My brother I feel your pain, mine is even worst. My wife is a USA citizen, apparently she doesn't need a visa to enter Dubai, painful thing is, she already booked her flight ticket. She thought it wasn't a big deal for me to get my visa here. We are actually supposed to go spend our honeymoon there, now if I don't get the visa we will have to forfeit her flight payment cos it' isn't refundable. Mind you, the agent told us processing mine will cost 300$ while here 150$. Dude didn't know we made our findings well, she can get visa on arrival. Don't mind my typos, driving.

Of course you should apply through Lagos as soon as you can. Yes, you will have to drop off in Lagos.

puffmama:
Hello everyone, I am based in Abuja and the drop box interview waver option is yet to start here. I will will no longer be eligible for drop box after March so I am wondering if I should apply through Lagos .

If so, how do I go about it , does it mean once I secure an appointment date , I would need to go to Lagos to drop off .

Kindly advice . Thank you so much .

Not only F4 o. People on my whatsapp group who are F2A also got rescheduled from Feb to April

princemeadow:
They’ve rescheduled all F4 interviews that got their letters in February 2022 till May 2022.

It is well

Are you trying to reschedule an existing appointment or are you trying to schedule a new appointment?

Tamison:
Same with me ooo. Account was initially frozen for 72 hours. It got unfrozen today, next thing I tried booking and the response I got was "no appointments available".
Tried again and boom, I exceeded the no of times I can view the page. This thing is tiring.
