Hi everyone. Can someone tell me how long it takes for immigrant visa. My application was just submitted today. Do I have to wait for years? I am married with 2kids. My Dad just filed for US. Is there a way to fast track it?

Thank you for sharing this

I didn't buy furnitures from the stores because they are very expensive. I used facebook market place and saw some good furnitures from people who are willing to sell theirs, they are quite affordable and sometimes they will deliver as well. The only new furniture I will recommend buying is your mattress but it all depend on your budget. If you have the money then you can get the ones from the store. I never bought anything in the US using credit because the last time I checked as a student you are not suppose to do that on f2 visa, I didn't want to violate my visa since I knew I will be returning back to Naija.

what state are you moving from in the Northeast?

As per the bolded, this is the first time I am hearing of such however, all the students I have met on F-1 visa all got credit cards as a way to start building credit while in school. I am thinking of financing options and I am currently discussing with some furniture stores to see what I can get so that I don't have to change them any time soon. I am trying to work within a reasonable budget for the entire apt.

Good day to you all, I will appreciate people that have good experience on this matter for advice. My parents have visited the US on two different occasions in the past, but presently their visas are expired. They applied for a visa again early this year with one of my brethren who is a level 12 FG worker with a Ph.D. Who will help them during the journey Due to difficulty in getting desired dates earlier this year, we gave an agent to get the desired date for us. After about four months without dates from an agent, we asked him for our log-in details, and we discovered he separated our parents (dad and mum) from my brother who is going with them. We tried to correct that by adding my brother to the parent profile, but that was not possible again. We now chose the same interview date and time for the next year. I want to know the chance of my brother getting a visa? Because he will be interviewed by a different CO from the parent at the same time and date. Although he is married to a wife, and they are expecting. Or should we start an afresh application that will have their profile together?

djcrown:
Please I seek some clarifications on being in possession of a mobile phone during the visa interview excerse

joywepo Your brother us married with a wife!
He really does not need to apply with your parents, even if they interview together, they will likely base decisions on individuals rather than everyone in a group.

There have been time VOs approve some and deny others in a group interview.

His focus now should be how to convince the VO beyond reasonable doubts that he qualifies fie the visa fost=10427112:

Hello all, I’m going to school in canada in September but my dad and I would like to go through the USA. If we apply for tourist visas now how early can we get an appointment date because on their website it shows a whole year and I don’t want to believe it

xavier01:
Hello guys,

Is it possible to "update profile" for dependent family members attached to your appointment?

I no longer have access to their DS-160 so I want to create a new one and update it on the appointment page.

When I click on "Update Profile" on the page, it only shows that of the principal applicant without access to the other family members.

I look forward to your help. Thanks

Mummywifey:


Send them a mail via your portal and they will update it

Infiosa:


I will definitely get in touch. I'm hoping for a refund.

brokeNOT:


Hello… How long did it take for Emirates to refund you, please? I’m in almost the same boat and I’m curious. Thanks a lot.

Infiosa:


Full refund was communicated to be paid after 21 business days of flight cancellation but that option wasn't working for me because I needed to be in the US as scheduled. Then another option was some administrative charges would be deducted if I wanted refund earlier than 21 business days, so I agreed with the booking agency (Wakanow) to book another airline - Qatar Airways and I only paid additional 45k at the end. Hope this is helpful and informative.

I think the Embassy did her a Favor by not Renewing her visa, if the visa was renewed it will be revoked at port of entry. Nigeria is a Red Flag Country for visa Fraud, even if you are CEO of a Company you don't take 5 months vacation at once. her Explanation did not add up. Maternity Leave in Nigeria is 3 Months........i visited US like 4 times before relocating,,,i was nearly turned back in one of my visit , the reason was that i visit US too often ..........i only stayed 21 days in each visit
