Did you guys use an immigration lawyer ?

LegitBachelor:
Wow, congrats @DankbaresHerz. So happy for you. Come on over to the States, we are waiting for you but your fiancée is waiting for you the most

Boss quick one we submitted a sworn birth affidavit during the filling process I hope that won’t be an issue??

LegitBachelor:
Why would you need an immigration lawyer? Is your case complex? Being denied a Student Visa in the past will not affect your Fiancée Visa application. It will be adjudicated based on its merit and not based on your previous visa denials.

Chai and I was saying this to her that we don’t need an immigration lawyer ..Sad I found this thread late but all the same we are on track .

The immigration officer tho promised it will just take upto 5-6months #i believe.
I am the first Nigeria he did be processing for

sworn affidavit of what please? Are you talking about the initial (i-129f) filing?

peeparty:

No. We did it ourselves

If you are from Nigeria I doubt if a sworn birth affidavit would be enough. What happened to your birth certificate? They will need a govt issued birth certificate/attestation from NPC.

But since you've submitted, there's nothing you can do now than to wait. I will however recommend you get the NPC Birth Certificate/Attestation and keep it in case they request for it in the future.

Congrats, you are one step closer .

I don't know the validity of Police Certificate for the US Embassy in Senegal but for the Embassy in Lagos, it's 1 year (I hear its been extended to 2 years, not sure though).

OK thanks boss. Will find out about Senegal because I also need to do police clearance certificate here in Senegal and travel to Nigeria for another. So I need 2 pcc

I read Divorce certificate, affidavit of support even nutralization certificate of Petitional should be original copies but I only have scanned copies of these documents, how I am supposed to get the original documents for the interview if those documents are already with the embassy from nvc?

You submitted original copies to USCIS? Did they request for original copies?

Yes Original copies of my fiance birth certificate, divorce certificate and certificate of neutralisation were sent to uscis, so am wondering if they will ask for original copies again for interview

You didn't answer my second question. Did USCIS request for the original copies themselves or you both just decided to hand in the originals?

And to answer your question, yes the embassy will request to see your originals. However they won't need original copies of your fiancée's documents since she is not the one going for the interview. They will only need photocopies of her certificates from you.

I just found out she did not send original copies of her document to uscis rather she sent photocopies. So I misunderstood the word 'original document' what they meant is photocopies of her original document I must bring to the interview . So no she didn't send original documents.

Our case has left uscis to nvc in less than 5 days after approval, the approval notice expires 15/11/2021 does this mean I must travel before the expiry date?

No I don't think so. However you must schedule your visa interview before that day (15/11/2021). The visa you'll get after your interview will tell you when you must travel.

Thanks a lot, however, this is what it shows each time I click the WhatsApp link to join
