VisaOfficer:


You can bring photocopies to the interview and let the officer know that NVC has the originals. I tried to attach an Affidavit of Support form to this post, but my computer won't let me. You can find it and the instructions at http://www.uscis.gov/i-864 .

Thanks.

VisaOfficer:




The VO is grateful for any kind thoughts, regardless of whether the person sending them attends a church, mosque, synagogue, something else entirely, or nothing at all.

VisaOfficer:

VisaOfficer:

Ait thanks alot,will let you know after submitting the documents

VisaOfficer:


Ah, so you've been assigned a case number, but your case is not yet documentarily complete. You're still a couple months away, at least, from being eligible for an interview.

A marriage certificate shows that a couple is (probably) legally married, but it doesn't show that they have a bona fide spousal relationship. Evidence of a bona fide spousal relationship varies from couple to couple; it could be photos, letters, e-mails, whatever you have that shows that you have a genuine relationship with your spouse.

Everyone can get a police certificate, but only people who have been to court and prison will have court and prison records. For our purposes, police certificates are good for one year, so yours will likely expire before you come to your interview.

Ok thanks for d explanation.
Yes we were given just a case number dats my daughter and i,shuld I share the case number ma'am so you can understand me better?

VisaOfficer:


Now you wait for NVC to let you know what your appointment date will be -- unless you're a fiance(e), in which case we will contact you as soon as your petition arrives at post.

Thanks for the reply ma,pls ma'am the email sent to us by the NVC asked us to do d following;
-choose an agent,
-pay fees,
-submit visa application form,
-collect financial documents,
-collect supporting document and
-submit document to the NVC and parts of the document we are asked to send are proof of relationship,police certificate,court and prison records.Now ma my questions are;
-what does proof of relationship means because they also asked for marriage certificate?
-what is d difference between police certificate and court $ prison records?
-i did my police report last year May is it stil valid?
i hope to hear from you soon.thanks.

oloriakinyemi:

Ok ma,thanks ma.but ma how long will it take the NVC to finish with their processing?that means we are not close to interview at all.

Good morning ma'am,i finally got d LG case number,please ma what's next to do now?thanks

onuzulikenma:

Am very happy for you,i pray to share mine too soon

VisaOfficer:


Then you likely have around 11 months more to wait before the case can be scheduled for an interview. You can track your priority date at http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/law-and-policy/bulletin.html .

Thanks ma,another 11months alone.

VisaOfficer:


In your case, as the spouse of an LPR, the important question is: When was the petition filed? Right now cases filed before April 15, 2013, are eligible to be scheduled for interviews.

It was filed on the 5th of March 2014

VisaOfficer:


It's not a silly question. Most cases still being processed in the U.S. will have case numbers that start with EAC or WAC. EAC is the Vermont Service Center, which used to be called the Eastern Adjudication Center. WAC is the California Service Center (previously the Western Adjudication Center).

Once a case has been assigned to an overseas post, it gets a case number that starts with the three-letter designation for that post. Lagos is LGS, London is LND, Tel Aviv is TLV, etc.

If your case number is still WAC, that means that the National Visa Center has not yet finished their processing.

Ok ma,thanks ma.but ma how long will it take the NVC to finish with their processing?that means we are not close to interview at all.

Good afternoon ma,we went for our interview today but we were denied.smiles,as u said it's not impossible but it's difficult.we have no choice now than to wait on our immigrant petition.please ma I wuld send our case no so u culd kindly help on that ma.

Good morning ma,please ma,am wondering y our case number is starting with WAC and the ones have been seeing here starts with LSG,please ma the question might sound silly but please am confuse

Good afternoon ma,we went for our interview today but we were denied.smiles,as u said it's not impossible but it's difficult.we have no choice now than to wait on our immigrant petition.please ma I wuld send our case no so u culd kindly help on that ma.

VisaOfficer:


It's okay for your husband to invite you and it won't affect your immigration petition. However, it is difficult to overcome the presumption that you're an intending immigrant and be granted a non-immigrant visa when you have a pending immigrant visa petition. It's not impossible, but it's difficult.

Hi Everyone. I have been following this thread for a while now without commenting. I got my visa this morning in Lagos thanks to all the valuable information i got from this forum. I want to say a big thank you to everyone that has selflessly contributed to this forum.

My interview went as follows;
VO: are you here alone? shouldn't there be others?
Me: No, I am here with my husband, baby and mum (My husband was trying to carry my son who was sleeping on my mum,s lap. They wasted a little bit of time so I got to the interview window before them)
After they arrived, we continued.
VO: So whats the relationship between every body as i see different surnames?
Me: (started pointing to every one) This is my Husband, that's our baby, and then My Mum. The surname on my passport is my maiden name as I was not married when i got the passport.
VO: so is everyone traveling to the US?
Me: Yes. I am going to have my baby. I will be going with my baby and my Mum in march, My mum is to assist me while i am there. my husband will join us when the baby arrives.
VO: OK. so have you contacted any hospital
Me: yes Oakbend Medical clinic in Houston Texas.
VO: what made you settle for this hospital?
Me: I did an online research and chose this one based on positive reviews i read about them
VO: where do you work and as what??
Me: i work at ******* and as a ******
VO: where did you school?
Me: I did my first degree at ***** and my second degree at *****
VO: to my Husband- whats your profession and where do you work?
DH: I am **** and I work with ****
VO to DH : what exactly does your company do
DH: we are a conglomerate into *******
VO: asks DH to scan his fingers
VO to me : you have been to the US before right?
Me: yes, in 2010 ( I had misplaced the passport in which the visa was stamped)
You went for a conference right?
Me: Yes
VO: how long did you stay?
Me: two weeks.
VO: do you have a cost estimate for this trip
Me: Yes. (handed him the budget sheet i prepared with tips gotten from this forum)
VO. (scans through) then said, you qualify for this visa but you have to know that this cost estimates is very small. you may end up paying more than five times this amount. so get yourself prepared for it.
Me: Ok. will do.
VO: types something in the PC. and then asks me and my mum to scan our fingers. he then handed me the passport collection letter and asks me to collect our passport on Tuesday.

That was it folks! It didn't last more than five minutes. he didn't even ask if i have booked appointment with any doctor or look at our bank statements.

Thanks again to every one.
Meanwhile I am heading to Houston early March (i am due early April). Will most likely use Oakbend hospital. anyone with shared accommodation should pls contact me. I will be going with my mum and baby.

Thanks in advance.

Congratulations,pls I want to know if you schedule appointment together as a family?please house I don't mind replies from anyone in the house.thanks
