TinFoil100:
let me guess 12:30am EST ~ 6:30am WAT ?

Aku660:
You are right. I've received the 60 days notice this morning.

Wait, you became current in January 2024 bulletin, how come you received the 60 days notice? Is there something i am missing?

Yes, I've been current in 2 Visa bulletins, January and February 2024. This makes it 60 days. January 2024 Visa bulletin was released December 2023 and February Visa bulletin January 2024.

Oh got the explanation thanks. I also share same PD month as you and i did not get a notification. Although my DQ is October 2023 could this be the reason?

What is your class of Visa? Is your priority date current?

Amen o. I received the same 60 day notice. It is well

I also received the 90 days notice yesterday. PD September 6th, 2022. DQ March 23, 2023. It’s been a long wait.

Any news about IL? Patience no easy.

No news yet , I was hoping they’d pick up the pace since the last time they called people was in sept 2023 and postponed interviews till Jan 2024.

Is well. Applying from Nigeria seems to be a great challenge. God will help us.

Any idea about EB1 interview wait times? How long from DQ to interview invite?

Congratulations! The wait is worth it indeed.

The interview went well, I received the visa approval. I got to the Lagos consulate 30mins before the interview time. The CGI folks checked my appointment letter to ensure that I was scheduled for the day. Once confirmed, I was allowed in and told to arrange my documents in the order described in the interview invitation mail.

When I got into the visa hall. I was initially called for document verification at a window. All of my original documents were collected including my original school certificates. These were compared with the information that I submitted to NVC which had been mailed to them.

Once done, I was told to sit and wait till my number was called. There was no particular order to the way that applicants were called for the interview with the consular officers. After an hour, I was called by one of the officers.Below are some of the questions he asked:

Have you ever lived in any other country for more than 6 months?
Are you currently employed and where do you work?
How many years of experience do you have?
Where are you going to in the US and what are you going to do there?
Do you have any professional certifications along with your academic credentials?
Have you ever changed your name?
Do you have other dependents that aren't applying with you?

Good day everyone. It's been a while here. I see people asking about when IL will come. I think @adedammy009 has already provided a clue. In my own opinion and observation, I think it is safe to say IL for this category may now flow along the quarterly VB. So my next guess is March/April, then June/July, etc.

Hello Everyone,
I'm a first timer here. I'm processing EB2 NIW from Nigeria. After getting my EB2 NIW approved, I submitted my documents to NVC and received response that I would be contacted when there is a visa number in US Consulate in Lagos for me. I will like to know whether this is the same as being documentary qualify (DQ)?

I appreciate the feedback. Thanks a bunch.
Since I received the DQ notice in the month of November 2023, it means I have spent more than 60 days waiting.

Yes you do qualify , its quiet expensive if you use a lawyer , I used a lawyer and premium processing and got approved in 4 days , I am in IT also and I dont have a phd .

However you need realistic excpectations from applying to getting a green card can be over 2-3 years with current back log and priority date.

Lawyer fees are now like 6500 usd average which is expensive , premium processing is over 2800 now also.

check the lawyer I used talk about my case.

..I think there are cheaper options than lawyers now ..especially if you live in NIgeria and the dollar rate is not smiling 7k usd is over 8m naira.
