Hello everyone,

I received an Interview Letter (IL) in Germany, but my family is still in Nigeria. I had earlier applied for a family reunion visa and have been waiting for an appointment for 15 months. Hoping my employer could help, I transferred my case from Lagos to Germany. Now I have IL for myself but no visa appointment for my family.

I have tried every possible option:
• Requested embassy-to-embassy transfers to visa-free countries in Africa. Some ignored my request, others declined.
• Contacted the U.S. Embassy in Germany where I got IL. They said:
• They cannot advise me.
• If I want a transfer, I must first get approval from another embassy, and only then will Germany release the case.

I do not want to return my case to Lagos due to the unpredictable backlog. At this point, I see only two options:
1. Transfer back to Lagos (which I strongly want to avoid), or
2. Reschedule — but to when? Since I have no idea when the German Embassy in Nigeria will grant my family an appointment.

Getting a Schengen visa has also failed. Right now, I am running out of options and really need advice or assistance.

You can reach me privately at: johndamisa66@gmail.com

Thank you.
I

Hi everyone, I was able to transfer my application from Lagos to Benin at the end of July.
The IV scheduling tool shows that Cotonou is already scheduling visa for Sept 2025 cases, but I'm yet to receive invitation letter.
Does anyone know what could be the reason for this?
Has anyone received IL from Cotonou embassy recently?

bankyman:
You should get your IL this month, I think that at the point you transferred your application, the total number of visas to be issued had been exhausted. Now that we have gone into their new fiscal year and the total number of visas has been refreshed, you should get the IV soon!

dennis201:
So no IL was released from Lagos last month September for EB3. Chaii

I applied for EB NIW since July last year and it still shows that it is being processed by USCIS as of now....is there a way to know what is actually happening and is this a good or bad sign

themmytourpey:
Is there anyone here who transferred to Benin recently and has gotten IL?

Coolman2025:
Please, will the current government shutdown in the US affect interview scheduling for those not yet scheduled but are already current?
My priority date is December, 2022 and DQ in March, 2023. EB3 route, Lagos.

Can someone please add me to the EB2 Telegram or WhatsApp group?

Babbyad:
You have to make that enquiries yourself. You can fix it yourself without giving anyone.

Hi,
Can one be denied visa due to having hepatitis B virus? I will appreciate an answer. Thanks.

Babbyad:
The United States does not classify Hepatitis B as a communicable disease, so you can’t be denied a visa because of it.....

I think it's just one ID for eb3 USRN, Lagos consulate. Priority date is November, 2022 and CC is March 28, 2023. There are even some other March 28,2023 CC with a current Priority date but no interview date yet! This may not be unconnected with the current US government shutdown.
