VisaOfficer:


Lots of good questions here! First off, if your father was a U.S. citizen when he filed the petition, your sister is and will always be an IR2 (unless she gets married). IR2s remain IR2s regardless of their age, unless they get married and become F3s.

Photos are good, especially if they span several years.

I don't give hints about questions. But just tell the truth and you'll be fine. Really! You don't need to act a special way; just be yourself and the officer will surely find you as charming as I do.

You can explain about your father's new address at the interview.

Good luck!

Her visa category is F2A. The case is complete according to NVC and the priority date will be current very soon. Let me know what other information you'll like to know.

olukenny12:
pls I don't really understand you, what I meant is it that will it take up to a week my appointment schedule day we commence or not up to that?

winnie123:
Dear vo,

For my case AOS and tax documents have been sent to NVC, is there any need of bring it to the interview again?

VisaOfficer:


The July 17 confirmation date is simply the date of the letter confirming that NVC had received your file; the date really isn't important to your case. The letter that you quoted means that NVC is ready to schedule your case for an interview when the case becomes current, but the Embassy or Consulate General may require additional documentation at the time of the interview.



For our (immigration) purposes, the police certificate is valid for one year. However, you should bring a police certificate with you to the interview even if you have already submitted one to NVC.



Interviews are only scheduled when the priority date is current, not before. The priority date is the date on which the petition was officially filed with USCIS. You can monitor your case's priority date at http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/law-and-policy/bulletin.html .



Please review http://nigeria.usembassy.gov/immigrant_visas.html to see the documents you will need. If an AOS was submitted to NVC, you will only need to submit a new one if the one submitted does not demonstrate sufficient income to support you in the United States.



It depends what your visa category is. If it's IR1 or CR1, your case is current and you should be scheduled for an interview as soon as one is available. If your category is F2A, only cases with petitions filed on or before March 1, 2014, are currently eligible to be interviewed. I don't know how quickly that cut-off date is likely to move in 2015.



Hope this helps!

Akinsussy:
how are you doing ma.I have gone for my interview but the issue now is that the officer that interviewed me asked that I and my dad who petitions for me should do DNA test.my fear now is that I Dont know how long it will take before all the DNA stuff is concluded so that I won't av to do another medical test.pls ma does it really take much time?or like how long can it take for the whole DNA thing to be concluded.thank you ma.

Titilayodeji13:
I am indeed grateful, really helpful. But the AOS and Joint sponsor forms are they to be original or photocopy needed in the course of interview.

And when is the medical expected to be done ma.

Tiffae:
So u mean the 3month validity doesn't necessarily mean it expires?...so its will still be acceptable at the embassy?..sorry..and would a photocopy be acceptable at the embassy..?

auschris:

Should the police certificate brought to the interview be the same as that submitted to NVC?
Should the accompanying fingerprint card be sent to the NVC with the police character certificate?

winnie123:
Dear Vo,

Can police certificate be obtained at place of residence or must it be in Lagos?

prihnce:
Good day VO, please Whatsup with this DNA test stuff am always seeing and would one be asked to go for a DNA test? thank you!

VisaOfficer:


The AOS from either the petitioner or a joint sponsor should be the original forms signed by the person whose income is being described. No photocopies.

It's a good idea to do the medical exam as close to the interview date as possible, so that the visa (if immediately issuable) will be valid for as long as possible. The visa is only valid as long as the medical paperwork is valid.

Titilayodeji13:


But the AOS original signed copy as been submitted before.

VisaOfficer:


This isn't a question I have an answer to. Maybe someone here can explain how to get the police certificate?

VisaOfficer:


That's right, we consider Nigerian police certificates to be valid for one year for purposes of immigration to the U.S. Photocopies are not acceptable; originals only, please.

winnie123:
Thank you so much Titilayodeji.
