Congratulations once again, boss!

Please can you remembered how long it took to schedule your visa after you were documentarily qualified?

Anyone pls. I have a project I'm running and I need to have a plan so it won't be in a rush when leaving the country.

I have waited a year plus after being DQ and still waiting. I read in this group where someone who had been interviewed already said they waited for 17 months. We are all praying and hoping that they begin to work faster.

Hi guys, i finally had my interview this week, everything went smoothly and successfully, my spousal visa already issued and ready for pickup at Dhl office.

Questions asked :

1. Who filed for you? My wife

2. How did you meet?

3. How many times has she visited since you got married?

4. When was the last time you saw her?

5. Has she been married before?

6. Have you been married?

7. How old are her children?

8. Do they live with her?

9. Have you travelled outside Nigeria before?

10. Let me see Tax return document .... Ohhh i dont think you have it, go get it and upload it, , and also submit it with your passport at Dhl office, by doing so i will close your case.
NB: Guys, i left the premises with smiles cos i knew my Visa iss already here, waited for my wife to wake so that she can send the correct Tax return. Perhaps, i went to dhl office to submit the tax docs and my passport that same day, in 2 days time my status started showing AP, in less than 12hrs, it shhowed Visa issued, in less than 2 hrs, i recieved email that my passport is ready for Pickup at Dhl office. That's it guys. Let God take all the glory, after a long wait and delays, the outcome was successful and cheering😊.

You can ask questions if you want, i will also give some hints with regards to pattern fquestions the COs were asking different applicants. Make sure you frontload your file with enough evidence to prove your marriage is real. Pls, mind how you tell the CO that you met your spouse via faceboook or social media, they twnd to drill the applicant with cocky questions , just be mindful on how you answer your questions, it will either make your interview short and brief or tedious and lengthy. All the best guys.

Massive Congratulations bro. Please when were you documentarily qualified (DQ)? Please share your date with us as it will help some of us still waiting to know how close we may be. Thanks a lot for sharing and best wishes to you as you journey to the USA. 🙏🏾

Thanks for your concern, but I think those people expedited. Am in the face book group and lots of people are yet to get interview. Some guys are even 17months on DQ yet no response. They last issued interview letters in September, and since then no news from their end….[/quote: Please can you share the link to the Facebook group so that I can join the group?

Hi everyone, update on my journey so far. My original interview date was Scheduled last month, just few days to my interview , LagosIV Ceac sent me email about rescheduling of my. Appointment due to incomplete documents. However, email was sent to me about uploading incomplete documents and I did upload/the documents (Tax Return and passport data page) that same day, I was surprised to receive another email from them that I have to reschedule for another appoinntment lol, me and my wife were mad cos she was with me waiting for my interview.

Furthermore, I insisted on going for my original interview, it was slated for 6.30am, I was there, queued up waiting to be ushered in, mind you they have everybody's names slated for interview in their list, my name was there but they marked it with red pen, meaning I cant be interviewed on that day due to incomplete documents on which I uploaded already o. I met with the CGI people, they told me me LagosIV will give me new date , meanwhile what was stated on the email is that I should look for a date by myself, if I don't see any i should keep on checking until date is available. Guys, at the moment, I'm still searching for a new date or waiting for them to send a new date to me, moreso my case file is showing 'READY' , so it don't have anything with NVC anymore, LagosIV is the one delayiing me. Another thing , the documents i was told to upload on their website is still showing 'SUBMITTED' after uploading it, meanwhile the old ones i submitted are showing 'ACCEPTED'.

My question is this, for the uploaded documents to be showing ' SUBMITTED'' , does it mean they havent reviewed it yet hence they've not given me fresh date??

LESSON TO EVERYONE :

Please, while waiting for your interview date, make sure all your documents are updated on their website.

If you renewed your passport after submiting the old one with them, please make sure you upload the current data page on their website ( I forgot to do that).

If you do your medical screening at Qlife or any designated clinic , please make sure they send your medical report to the embassy before your interview ( Some people were told to reschedule because of their medical report not sent to the embassy earlier). Same goes to Police Report.

Conclusion:

They have changed their policy, if your documents are not complete prior to your interview, they will ask you to reschedule your appointment. Please, make sure all your documents are intact to avoid what I am facing currently. No shaking guys, I am still hopeful my new date will be given to me as soon as possible, I don tire for naija lol. Remember i waited for almost 2 years before they sent my inital interview appointment.

I wish all of us the best. , and congratulations to some of us that have gotten their US IV Visas.

Thanks for the update Sir. I wish you the best and hopefully, they will not keep you waiting for too long.

I want to use this time to appreciate everyone who has contributed to the thread and the creator of this, I got lots of helps by just reading the comments and asking questions, and even get in touch with some people here who have gotten their own spousal visa.
It finally ends with joy
After a very long wait, almost 2years
But finally got it.
Interview was smooth

Glory to God.
Advise to others, be patient, and always check your email, make sure you're not missing any documents, you can try expedition if u got a good case/reason. But the wait is really frustrating,

Interview time not even up to 10minutes , but the wait and que is long sha, people many, I even dey sleep sef, waiting on my number to be called, waiting, passing checking points n all almost 2-3hrs. Interview time 7am, got there 6:30am n still meet crowd haha


Your police character and certificate is valid for 24months, 2years.. People keep saying I should get a new one since mine was over a year since I did it, but I didn't do another one, so long it's not up to 2years then you're good to go, no go dey waste money for no reason.

Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Best wishes to you and your family.

Pay the fees before you travel that way your social security card will be available before you arrive

Please can the fees be paid by spouse in the USA before I travel? Or it has to be paid in Nigeria only. What payment options are available?

Hi Everyone, please has anyone here received an interview date this year for the IR1 spousal Visa. If yes, how long did you have to wait since you became Documentarily Qualified (DQ)? I’m just trying to find out how long one has to wait to this interview date after being DQ. Please I’m new here. Pardon me if this question had been answered previously. Thanks in advance for your response.

kaycome:

Well for how long have you been waiting? The maximum time I have seen here is 22 and 24 months. By the way where is your application presently?

I have been waiting for months since being DQ. Please do you mean 22 and 24 months after being DQ? Actually, my question was how long have people been waiting to be scheduled for interview after being DQ?
