@oladeep Sis not Bro, lol
Okay, would one be referred in the IL or you just automatically go for medicals when PD becomes current or after receiving the IL

seun9090:
I just found this page and it has been helpful reading through. Congrats oladeep.
F1 is really frustrating. PD is May, knowing that it is almost current and that it is dragging is really annoying.
pretty16, I have some questions regarding medicals, I thought it is the embassy that would refer us to hospitals they trust or do we just go do it on our own and submit the results the day of the interview. How does it work?

pretty16:


Amen. I so wanted to be there for my folks wedding anniversary next month. And my moms 60th bday in July. At this rate, o don't even know again. She said if we are not around, they are not celebrating. God is in control. At least if I no meet their anniversary, make I for still meet her bday. It would have been an amazing bday gift for her, to have us around.

congrats oladeep

Children's practice said theirs was 100k for adult children 80k. Q life varied with ages. I asked how much is adult of age 33yrs they said N78,125, children ages 6yrs N67625, 2-3yrs N83225, while infants N73,400. So there's a difference. Call them and confirm before making a decision on where to use. Cos the 2 are listed as the hospitals to Use. During my mums time back then I think the hospital was Kamoras

pretty16:


F2B moved from April 8 to May 15th. F1 stayed put again. That's 2wice in a row. @Oladeep, which means you will be hearing from them early next month. Congrats in advance.

pretty16:


Q Life is cheaper according to my enquiry. I called them Last week to inquire about the medicals.

pretty16:
Visa bulletin is out. F1 still did not move this month. Now am wondering why I opted out of F2B. This is not fair. @ Oladeep, did yours move?

pretty16:


Meanwhile for medicals, where do you intend using? I initially planned on using the Children's practice but it seems Q Life clinic is favourable for me. Na 4 we be now wey dey go for medicals. So I need to check the one that is pocket friendly. Before u make a decision on the Hosp to use, call them to make enquiry.

Just hang in there. It will come soon. Am being positive myself. Its not been easy. This is my 2nd petition. I have waited for like 10yrs. My first petition was filed by my stepdad. My mom said she didn't know it will not be approved, cos we waited for 3yrs before they wrote to deny it that he wasn't MY biological dad. She said if she had know she would have filed earlier that I would have left some years back. I just said God's time is the best.. You can imagine being an only child and away from your mum for years. I miss her a lot, but she also feels it more. Sometimes she wishes am around to help her do things especially coming back from work and feeling tired. And she's not getting any younger.

I think it will only affect those that want to file after the law has been passed not before

pretty16:


As in! This month I have not seen anyone who got I.L. I was even saying I will ask you, if u heard from them. I wonder if there will be movement in the bulletin this month. Its all good
Its all good. Just hang in there. It will come when u least expect.

pretty16:
Hi guys. Has anyone received I.L's yet? Cos I believe this week they should be issuing I.L's.

pretty16:

stacyadams:
bro make them no even reason refund oooo....ha no amount of refund go compensate the wasted years and time..

JudeOkeke:
Please i will like to ask this... any answer will be appreciated.

My cousin got married to his friend after he won the USA lottery like 4 years back, but they were both denied visa at the embassy.Then few years later, her( my cousin) parent's petition was approved to immigrate to the USA since her parents are citizens through naturalization and she should be going with her spouse. But along the line now she is divorced because they are not both happy, he has left her and both separated and divorce certificate issued. Now, she had to re-write the NVC that she has divorced and she began afresh with the whole application process. Fortunately or unfortunately, she has been invited for an interview based on immigration (green card) as single and unmarried, since her parents are citizens of the USA. she has submitted all documents and a date has been fixed for her interview. my question is will she be issued a visa, and what kind of questions will she be anticipating. Does she have better chances? All documents are intact. Thanks any valuable answer will be appreciated.

I'm 2012 my dear..so I'm still here.
Sigh I'm wondering if this was worth it.

Wo. I'm just all for reform jare. A system that makes people wait 6,10 20 years for legal migration is just messed up. Then it'forces' to stay unmarried etc just to make it.
Other countries are done in less than 2years

When I read VJ with details of ppl on wait times I'm not surprised ppl come in illegally.
Honestly I get that migration is a privilege and not a right but I think these wait times are inhumane both for the consulate staff as workload and for those applying.

salsera:


Dems have no choice here they must concede to something else by March when DACA officially ends 1.8million people under it will be deported. If the the Republicans concede to a citizenship route for DACA in favour of democrats then Dems must concede to cuts in legal migration and border security. Its that's simple. Something must give. They've played politics with immigration reform in the past but now they have a 'craze' Presido who does not send political niceties.

salsera:
The only way to clear that backlog ( which increases by the day especially more so now because ppl are afraid),is to
1. Make more visas available ( which is only available through scrapping DV lottery)
2. Put money for more consulate staff which they don't want to do . Besides they are negotiating for money for border security.

The deal for DACA would mean visas leading to citizenship for abt 2million people already so I don't see that helping with current backlog.
Addressing backlog without adding more staff hands means they need to cut off existing petitions..i mean some ppl are on a 20yr wait. That's my opinion anyways. If they don't do that.then regardless of this bill the current pace of the bulletin will continue as is or get worse.
4million people and counting waiting for possible only less that 100,000 visas per year..its still going to be slow.
Anyways for those with just a year or so you'll at least be at the end of the curve

pretty16:


I think if the Bill passes, anything that has to do with adult children and siblings will be scrapped. They will concentrate on U.S.C couples and minor children. Right now am not even sure if they are including LPR couples and minor children. But they said they will clear the backlog. That over 4million have been waiting to migrate legally.

Chuksmonika:
but in F2B,the beneficiary will have to wait for his/her parent to be US citizens first b4 they can petition for the person,as to what was formally the case,where they can petition as LPR,US immigration law no be here oo

pretty16:


@ oladeep F2A may not be affected, but F2B will

Chuksmonika:
pretty16,when the bill or reform is passed,will it affect F4 category.and also will f2b be affected too?
