VisaOfficer:
He should wait until he speaks with an officer before renewing his expired documents. His case might not be ready for issuance yet.

Also, affidavits of support do not expire.

thanks for the response. . . . forwarded your response to him. but got a replied now that he actually meant the tax docs. the. latest submitted by them was for year 2013, i think it was filed in 2014. thanks

VisaOfficer:
221g is the refusal code for cases that are pending. Sometimes it's as simple as "We can't continue until you submit a new affidavit of support [for instance]." But it's also the refusal code for cases that are pending a final decision from USCIS after being returned to them. Once a case has been returned, the next action is the USCIS decision -- but when a petition has expired, they usually don't review the case. Any chance for appeal would come after the USCIS decision -- so often there's no opportunity to appeal a K case. The petitioner is, however, free to file a new petition.

I have a reative with the same kinda of situation. he's actually been interviewed and his case was on AP for close to a year. now he's been scheduled to appear again but some of his docs have expired. like police report , medical and most importantly. the sponsor's affidavit of support. what do u suggest . he's actually F2b. thanks

Tanzania's President Jakaya Kikwete has fired
a senior government minister accused of
wrongly taking $1m (£640,000) from a
businessman.
Land and Housing Minister Anna Tibaijuka had
not shown "due diligence" when she took the
money, he said.
Ms Tibaijuka, a former UN official, denies any
wrongdoing.
She is a high-profile casualty in a corruption
scandal that has rocked Tanzania's government
and energy firms, straining relations with
donors.
On 17 December, Attorney-General Frederick
Werema resigned after MPs accused him of
authorising the fraudulent transfer of about
$120m to an energy firm.
He denied the allegation, but said he was
stepping down because the controversy had
"disrupted the country's political atmosphere".
The corruption scandal has dominated media
coverage in Tanzania
Mr Kikwete, in a televised address, said the
government was still investigating allegations of
impropriety against Energy and Minerals
Minister Sospeter Muhongo and his permanent
secretary Eliakim Maswi.
The president's office later said that Mr Maswi
had been suspended, pending the outcome of
the probe.
Ms Tibaijuka rejected parliament's call for her
resignation, saying the $1m was a donation for
a school where she serves as the main
fundraiser.
She accepted it in good faith and presented it to
the school, she said.
However, Mr Kikwete said he had dismissed her
because "one of the biggest questions raised is
why this money was not paid directly to the
school and was instead deposited in a personal
bank account in her name," Reuters news
agency quotes him as saying.
Ms Tibaijuka was the executive director of the
United Nations Human Settlements Programme,
before she became an MP and government
minister in 2010.
Tanzania's parliament, which is dominated by
the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party,
has been putting pressure on Mr Kikwete to
sack top officials accused of siphoning
government money in collusion with
businessmen linked to the energy sector.
An investigation by a parliamentary watchdog
committee found that about $120m had been
taken from an escrow account, paid to an
energy firm and then given to various
government ministers.
A group of 12 donors - including Japan, the UK,
the World Bank and the African Development
Bank - decided in October to withhold about
$490m until the government took action over
the alleged corruption.
Mr Kikwete took office in 2005 with a promise to
tackle corruption in government.

Former militant and leader of the Niger Delta
Peoples Volunteer Force (NDPVF), Mujahid
Asari-Dokubo, on Sunday declared that
President Goodluck Jonathan’s presidential
ambition in 2015 was already settled, as his
Niger Delta compatriots would not succumb to
any force opposed to its full actualization.
There would be blood in the streets if Mr.
Jonathan is not reelected president in the 2015
election, the militant leader threatened.
Mr. Asari-Dokubo, who was a guest on a
Channels Television programme, Politics
Today, monitored in Abuja, said he would
register as a full member of the ruling Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) to enable him join in
the fight to realize the president’s re-election
bid.
“The way things are going, there is no sitting
on the fence in the battle before us,” Mr.
Asari-Dokubo said. “When some people say
they have a right to rule and others don’t
have, then there is no sitting on the fence. All
of us will have to be in the ring and fight. We
cannot leave Goodluck (Jonathan) alone.
“My support for Jonathan will be biased,
because charity begins at home. Monkey no
fine, but im mama like am. Goodluck, na my
person. 2015 is already a settled matter.
Goodluck Jonathan would be President in
2015.
“Whether they contest or they don’t. If they
say the blood of the dogs and the baboons will
be soaked in the streets, or salt water in the
streets, we will help them in blood in the
streets.”
Insisting there was no crisis in the PDP in the
wake of the walkout during the recent
National Convention by some aggrieved
members, led by former Vice President Atiku
Abubakar, and seven governors, Mr. Asari-
Dokubo said the exit of seven out of 23
governors elected on PDP ticket was not
enough to cause any crisis.
On the role of two former Presidents, Ibrahim
Babangida and Olusegun Obasanjo, who are
working towards an amicable resolution of the
crisis, Asari-Dokubo described the duo, who
are also members of the Board of Trustees
(BOT) of the PDP, as “agents provocateur”,
who are fueling the crisis by declaring that
they do not want Jonathan to run in the 2015
elections.
He accused Messrs Babangida and Obasanjo of
secretly encouraging the Jigawa state
governor, Sule Lamido to run for President,
with Rivers state governor, Chubuike
Amaechi as his deputy, adding that at one
recent public function, Mr. Babangida had
said that Mr. Amaechi and the Speaker of the
House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal,
were good to run for higher offices come
2015.
He described the Rivers state governor as “a
traitor to the collective aspirations of the
people of Rivers State,” saying whatever
situation the governor is facing he deserved
it, as there was no better way a traitor could
be treated by Rivers people.
On the intervention of the National Assembly
in the crisis in the Rivers State House of
Assembly, the militant leader criticized the
decision to take over the legislative functions
of the Assembly, saying the lawmaker lacked
the moral high ground to have done so, since
they were unable to take a similar action
when they were embroiled in corruption
charges a few years ago.
Mr. Asari-Dokubo, who claimed he was a card-
carrying member and major financial of the
defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN)
until December 27, 2010, said he would be
joining the PDP to enable him join in fighting
for President Jonathan’s candidacy from the
inside.
Ruling out any possibility of running for any
office in 2015, he said his focus for now was
on getting the Mr. Jonathan’s reelection
project delivered.
“I will declare for the PDP. We will fight,
because in this battle, there is no retreat, no
surrender. We will not take any prisoner of
war. It will be total battle,” he said.

Terror Killing Nigerians you say it is
sabotage. ...Money keeps missing in billions you
say it is ordinary stealing...Declare your assets
you say you don't give a damn....We have great
navy but you handover pipelines safety to
militants......you support stomach infrastructure
instead of equipping the people to 'fish'...
And now, you said we are impatient. ...that you
used the last 6years to plant and that it will
germinate in the next four years......What
exactly could that be........? You use 6years to
do only planting. ..Planting nikan?
LOL.....
If it takes someone 20 years to prepare for
madness, when exactly is he going to 'eat the
stick' and enter market?
When a babalawo begins to look up to the roof,
it shows he doesn't understand the language of
the oracle....because oracle doesn't hide on the
roof!
CHANGE IN 2015...Yes We Can.

WHAT PROMINENTS NIGERIANS SAY ABOUT BUHARI


“The army after toppling our democratic regime
have no option but to install Buhari as head of
state so as to avoid credibility problems,
especially in the sight of the international
community because of his being an epitome of
integrity."
- SHAGARI.

“There are only 2 honest & reliable Nigerians.
Myself & Buhari. All what PDP is saying of Buhari
being fundamentalist is mere hot lies. They just
fear, let‘s go to jail “
– OBJ

General Muhammadu Buhari as a member of
the Supreme Military Council and as Head of
NNPC was by nature taciturn and introvert. But
he took any work that was given to him very
seriously. He is reliable as he is hardworking
and honest, his path of moral probity and
rectitude” Incorruptible
– President Olusegun Obasango , in his book,
“Not My Will”.

“Buhari was a big brother & a father to some
extent that mean nothing in life & to the nation
always other than good. So, I fear no harm
from him.“
– LATE YAR‘ADUA.

“Buhari was honest & sincere in all his conduct
that perhaps, only very few Nigerians could
match in integrity.“
–GEN. ABDUSSALAM

“Gen. Muhammadu Buhari was a true patriot,
respected former head of state & elder
statesman & a nationalist.“
-PRESIDENT JONATHAN.

“I have realized our collective mistake in over-
throwing you. I have seen the terrible damage
which our inaction caused to the Nigerian
psyche. I am most sorry. Please, come and do
what is best known about you. Patriotic service
to the nation.“
–LATE ABACHA (PTF inaugural speech).

“If Buhari quit PTF job as he promises & as we
knew him to mean his words, all along, I
support the idea of scrapping PTF as no one
else can do the job as him.“ –IBB
I respect Buhari. He was my Boss.He was an
honorable man. And I can say this anywhere”.
-General Ibrahim Babangida.

“As a member PDP BOT, I decided personally to
donate the #5,000,000 to Buhari‘s campaign
organization because of my firm believe in his
ability to right all the nation wrongs-
ALH. ISIYAKU IBRAHIM.

“Buhari is as clean as the book I am holding”
~ ALHAJI ISHIAKU IBRAHIM, a Member of PDP Board
of Trustees @ a Book launch in Kaduna

“The issue of Gen. The Buhari‘s presidency was
always being derided by the criminals who
looted the nation to stupor by embarking upon
a campaign of calumny so as to smear his name
with a view to denying Nigerians having a leader
who can improve their lots.“
–PROF. DAVID WEST.

“If the truth must be said, Buhari remain the
only real threat to PDP wither he runs for the
presidency or not due to his wider followership
among the masses that now hit the elite circle.“
-SEN. MAKARFI.

**Kindly like this if really you believed in NEW
Nigeria & that another Nigeria is possible***"

2+3 =5 . .Go and multiply. . Building a new nation, lol

Buhari's Ministers;

1. Domkat Bali - Christian - Defence.
2. Onaolapo Sholeye -Christian-Finance.
3. Emmanuel Nsan - Christian - Health.
4. Sam Omeruah - Christian-Information.
5. Tam David West - Christian - Petroleum.
6. Patrick Koshoni - Christian - Works.
7. Chike Offodile - Christian - Justice.
8. Clement song - Christian Gov, CBN.
Defence, works, petroleum, justice, finance and
CBN governor were all Christians.

Lets stop the baseless accusation against this
revolutionist and face reality.

Vote for change!
Vote for Buhari/Osinbajo!
God bless Nigeria!

Guess payments are not coming in anymore or what??

http://bioreports.net/news/jonathan-cannot-win-2015-election-asari-dokubo/

One of the biggest supporters and kinsman of
President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, Alhaji
Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, has declared that the
president has lost the support of his political
base, the South-south and the South-East owing
to the failure of his government to deliver on its
promises.
Dokubo-Asari, at a press conference in Abuja on
Friday, said that it would be tough for Jonathan
to win the presidential election in 2015 if he
decides to run based on the poor showing of his
administration.
He said that his decision to speak out was for
him and others who are ardent supporters of
Jonathan not to be blamed for his failure in
2015.
He said: “I want to start with an Ijaw proverb,
which says: the eyes watched its seven children
to death. Instead of advising them, it was just
looking at them until they died, while the mouth
talked its only child to life and success.
“We have continued as Ijaw people and the
entire Niger Delta and South-South to support
the presidency of President Goodluck Jonathan,
but a time has come when silence cannot be
golden.
“We mainly speak out in issues that are very
critical to the survival of our people, the survival
of the people of the South-South and the South-
East, which happens to be the political base of
Goodluck Jonathan.
“Jonathan is surrounded by very greedy people
who are only in the Presidency to enrich
themselves at the expense of Goodluck himself.
“This brings us to another Kalabari proverb,
which says: where there are elders, a goat
cannot be allowed to deliver tied to a stick.
“If we don’t talk and we continue to brush it
aside, tomorrow we will be blamed and people
will say: Mujahid Dokubo-Asari was around
when Goodlcuk Jonathan was president and he
didn’t talk.
“Them I will be an accomplice and accessory
after the fact….
“It is alarming because the South-South must
have its uninterrupted eight years tenure, which
is constitutional.
“But with how things are going under Jonathan’s
watch, we are afraid that we may not be able to
have our eight years tenure because there will
be no magic about it if it is going to be one man
one vote.”
Dokubo-Asari said he will continue to speak out
despite the fact that he had benefitted from
Jonathan, adding that one of those causing
trouble for the President remains the Minister of
Niger Delta Affairs, Chief Godsday Orubebe.
He said: “I have benefited immensely from
Goodluck Jonathan with my stake but benefit
alone is not enough to make me to keep quiet
when the period is very challenging for our
people.
“So, some of us are tempted to ask this
question: why are all these things happening?
“Why has the President allow some ministers like
Godsday Orubebe to continue in government?
“Everyday people die on the East-West Road.
“If Orubebe is incompetent as he has shown
himself to be, he should be removed.
“Nobody voted for Orubebe.
“And why is Orubebe so important to the
President that he can’t remove him even in the
face of his obvious incompetence and several
allegation to corruption?
“We feel very ashamed and embarrassed.
“Orubebe was one of us.
“He was attending meetings with us, sleeping in
the ground with us, entering night bus with us
and we nominated him to be appointed a
minister.
“We have gone to him and complained to him
that we don’t like they way things are going in
his ministry and told him that if the President
leaves in 2015 without the completion of the
East-West Road, we are finished.
“And the man keeps telling us there is no
money.
“When IBB (former military President Ibrahim
Badamasi Babangida) was there, there was
money.
“When Abacha was there, there was money.
“When others were there, there was money.
“How come the money disappeared when
Jonathan got there?
“Jonathan and orubebe will account for the
death in the East-West Road.”
On the face-off between Jonathan and former
President Olusegun Obasanjo, Dokubo-Asari said
there was no need for it.
He said that no matter what Jonathan feels, he
still remains a beneficiary of Obasanjo’s large
heartedness.
He said: “First, there was no need for Goodluck
Jonathan to disagree with Olusegun Obasanjo.
“I don’t like Obasanjo.
“I don’t like his face.
“I hate him.
“But he was instrumental in bringing Goodluck
Jonathan to power.
“And the greedy people around Jonathan have
not managed him enough to the extent that the
President and people around him will allow
Jonathan to disagree with Obasanjo openly
“And if you check, all the people who supported
Goodluck Jonathan and fought to bring him to
power, have openly disagreed with him.
“What was the cause of these disagreements?
“These are the questions we want to put to the
president.
“Some people say Obasanjo is manipulating
Goodluck Jonathan, that is why Jonathan is
disagreeing with him and we ask: what has
Goodluck Jonathan’s government achieved to
show that it is a departure from other
governments that have existed since 1956?
“For us, nothing has changed.
“It is still business as usual.
“So what are the advice that Obasanjo gave to
Jonathan that were so difficult for him to fulfill,
that made him decide to fall out with Obasanjo?
“Obasanjo was instrumental and manipulated
the process that illegally removed Diepreye
Alamieyeseigha as governor of Bayelsa State and
installed Jonathan as governor, made him vice
president, fought for him to become acting
president and also fought for him to become
president of Nigeria.
“Apart from Obasanjo, there are so many people
who supported Goodluck Jonathan, some have
been pushed out by those who were not there
to give him any support, while some others are
trapped and they cannot talk.
I have a feeling that Fulani man Buhari would
have done more for Niger-delta than Jonathan
has done so far Jonathan has done nothing for
Niger Delta actually. It is getting more and more
difficult to support him, the second niger bridge
is another issue. Even his allies are denouncing
him. What a shame!

Still wondering how this kinda thread made front page.

Demdem:
Medicine after death.
What about electronic copies? How will u stop that.

silly people. . . .they've prolly forgotten that

Damn. . . . How am I goin to get a copy now!!!

SaharaReporters has learned that copies of the
much-anticipated and politically controversial
autobiography by former President Olusegun
Obasanjo have sold out a mere three days after
their release on Tuesday.
“Baba [President Obasanjo] sold all the copies
that were brought in,” an associate of Mr.
Obasanjo’s told SaharaReporters.
The three-volume book brims with sharp
criticism of President Goodluck Jonathan,
former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the late
President Umaru Yar’Adua, and former
Governors Bola Tinubu, Bukola Saraki and
James Ibori.
Hours before the book was scheduled to be
launched last Tuesday, Buruji Kashamu, an
associate of Mr. Jonathan, obtained an order
from a High Court judge barring the book’s
publication. But Mr. Obasanjo proceeded with
the launch of the book, stating that the book
was already published before the judge gave
his order and that the order did not prohibit
him from launching the book. Lawyers to
Obasanjo have now appealed the ruling of
Justice Valentine Ashi at the court of appeal in
Abuja.
A source close to Mr. Obasanjo told
SaharaReporters that agents of the Department
of State Security (DSS) had put stumbling blocks
in the way of the former president’s efforts to
bring in more copies of the book.
“The SSS [an alternative name for the DSS}
people have told us that they won’t allow more
copies of the book into the country,” one
source close to Mr. Obasanjo said.
Cover of former President Olusegun
Obasanjo's book
Asked how Mr. Obasanjo had reacted to the
impediments placed in his way, his aide said,
“Baba expected such behavior. He is just
watching them [the government] laughing.
SaharaReporters exclusively reported that the
content of the book was unsparing of Mr.
Jonathan, whom the former president accused
of myopic vision, incompetence and weakness.
The former presidential decided to go ahead
with the publication of the book despite the
fact that Mr. Jonathan made a phone call to
persuade him to postpone the publication and
that the president sent a strong delegation to
plead with Mr. Obasanjo.

Twin brother Jeromme and Jarelle beat
150,000-1 odds to become dads on the
same day at the same hospital by the same
midwife after their partners gave birth on
Monday November 24th. And they both had
baby boys.
According to UK Mirror, the twins were
initially shocked when told their partners
had the same due date of Nov. 26, but
neither believed they would both be
celebrating on that date. But remarkably,
the pair became fathers within a few hours
of each other when their sons were born at
New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton in
the early hours of Monday.
Incredibly, both babies were born
in the same water pool in the
same room and were delivered by
the same midwife.
Jeromme’s partner Tegan
Compton, 19, was first to give
birth when 8lb 7oz Cameron
arrived into the world at 2.04am
on Monday morning.
Jarrell’s girlfriend Francesca Ashe,
19, then followed suit when she
delivered 7lb 11oz Cassen two-
and-a-half hours later at 4.34am.
Jeromme, who works in a sports
shop, said: “We knew that our
partners were both given the
same due date, but we just never
expected the births to be really
on the same day.
“Tegan and me came in first and
little Cameron was born just a few
hours later. Then the pool was
washed and cleaned, and we
handed over to Jarrell and
Francesca.”
Jarrell, who works for a catering
firm, added: “We got here at
about two in the morning and we
could hear someone’s voice and I
said, ‘that’s Tegan’.
“Mum was with me so when
Tegan gave birth she went over to
see her grandson and then a
couple of hours later she had
another one. It is absolutely
amazing that we became fathers
of sons on the same day. It is
great for everyone and everyone
at the hospital was great.”
Midwife Barbara Kapoor, who
delivered both babies, said: “I
have never ever heard of this
happening before. It is amazing.”
Alex Donohue, from Ladbrokes
bookmakers, added: “This is so
rare. The odds of it happening are
at least 150,000 – 1.”

Greetings VO
Ceac.gov shows ISSUED since 14th november, but ustraveldocs shows '' there is no status update for this passport'' . Dont know when to go to the collection center.? Please ma whats the next step. Thanks for helping.

VisaOfficer:
We do rely primarily on the phone to contact people. So many people don't have e-mail that using a phone seems to be most reliable. Don't worry about the interview letter in this case; we'll have updated our entry list to reflect the correct date. If you'd like to verify, please feel free to e-mail us at LagosIV@state.gov.

Thanks VO, out of curiosity, the beneficiary thinks it'll be proper if its made official than just verbal. Thanks for helping out.

Hello VO,

The sponsor was called to notify her that there's a change in the beneficiary's interview date. Was skeptical about the news, I actually thought information of that nature would be sent through e-mail by the embassy.

If yes that the embassy truly contact some people about change in interview date, therefore

(1) The date on the interview letter would av been different. Do u suggest the the beneficiary take the old interview latter to the embassy on the new fixed date just like that? Or

(2) The beneficiary 'll need new interview letter. If yes, what do u suggest?

Thanks.

VisaOfficer: Just let us know at the interview. The name in your passport is the name that will appear on your visa.

Hello VO,

A cousin of mine, has a similar case with the one above, there was a mistake when filling the DS260 form, in the section where it asks 'have you applied for a US visa before' , they mistakenly clicked NO and its been submitted. However she's applied for student visa but was refused in the past when her petition was still pending. I hope it wont look like she's lieing, please what do u suggest.

.

VisaOfficer: Shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks for the info.

double post

VisaOfficer: If it's just that the names are out of order, I wouldn't worry about it. He can explain at the time of his interview.

Hello V.O
Please i'll like u to shed more lights on one issue thats related to what u mentioned above.
What if the last name is wrongly spelt by NVC, e.g the original name is Richard but wrongly spelt by NVC as Richrrd. I hope there wouldnt be any problwm during the interview session. Thanks.
