Dear VO,

My fiance in the US filed a k1 visa, we did our marriage introduction/traditional last year when he visited, and we intend to legalize it in the US, please can I present our marriage introduction/traditional pictures at the embassy during the interview?

Will it be accepted?

Ma so I went into the DHL office again today this time around asked under both Immigrant and NonImmigrant still nothing in regards to my passport Ustraveldocs as well keeps saying There is no status update available for this passport but before the CEAC changed to ISSUED it was always showing Passport still with the consulate. Furthermore Ma, I got an email from LagosIV today and the reply I got was they can't track the progress because my case number starts with LND ma I was flabaggastered with the reply for crying out loud my case was transferred and the case number was never changed besides I made sure the email contained the case number correctly which is LND20******** 01LGS... Ma its really sad your not in Nigeria anymore but your assistance would be very much appreciated.

VisaOfficer:
Hmmmmm that is an odd response. Did you reply and tell them that even though your case number starts with LND, it was handled in Lagos and they ought to be able to find it?

VisaOfficer:
The only consequence is that NVC is trying to make sure you don't have to wait any longer than necessary. Sometimes a service center will have an unexpected surge in its caseload, and other service centers will offer to help them process the extra cases. It doesn't have anything to do with your case in particular; they're just managing their workload.

VisaOfficer:
I'm afraid I have no way of knowing or speculating -- there are simply too many possible explanations. The best course of action is to continue asking for updates, every week or so.

Dear VO

Been a silent observer on here for quite a handful of time now, and I've so far found answers to my queries from your responses to nairalanders except one that my fiancee is really confused about, which is the Affidavit of Support. My visa Category is K1,. My question goes thus.

1) What's the specific form she ought to fill? I-185 or I-134?
2) I read in one of your responses many pages back while responding to a similar question about tax return document, does she need to include a tax return filed in the AOS, if so would two tax return filed be okay (2014 and 2012), she can't find the 2013 tax doc, she has requested the missing one, she was told it would take 10 days, but I fear I might be interviewing earlier as it would take extra five days to get it down here, making it a total of 15 days
3) Would just her signature suffice or the AOS need to be notarized.

I'd appreciate a swift response. Thanks

good day, V.O. I went for an interview for a B1/B2 visa today but I was given a yellow letter and the interviewer ticked the box that states that my application requires administrative processing and additional clearance and that no information or documents are required from me at this time. I want to know what could be the reason why he made the decision because I understand that two major reasons may be responsible which are the need for additional documentation or the need for security clearance and since he didn't tell me to provide additional documents, could it be because of security reasons? Also if they will call me for another interview because he said I can contact the consulate after two weeks to know the status of my application.

Good day VO,

My priority date is july 27, 2007 EB3 Philippines, Visa bulletin for october just released (1 jan 2007). We were interviewed last April 22, 2015 unfortunately consulate officer told us that there were no visa number available. Our passport were not returned but was set back to us after a month. My concern is our medical records will be expiring on october 22, 2015. is there a probability consular office will consider our old result? are they going to send us an instruction as to what to do next before or medical result expires? or do we need to secure a medical interview again. if so. is the fee still the same? are we going to have the xray only since we were already had the vaccination prescribed in our last medical?

thanks in advance

VisaOfficer:
For K visas, it's the I-134. It's best to submit three years' worth of tax documents, but if the 2012 and 2014 documents are sufficiently robust, the officer might cut you a break. Does she have her 2011 documents handy?

The AOS does not need to be notarized -- only signed.

VisaOfficer:
The fiscal year only affects Diversity Visa applicants. It has no tangible effect whatsoever on other immigrant visa categories. (Okay, there's some behind-the-scenes number-crunching at a worldwide policy level, but nothing that existing applicants will feel.)

Each month has its own Visa Bulletin. The October 2015 Visa Bulletin will take effect on October 1.

Thanks for the response, she was still an undergraduate in 2011, but she has found the missing 2013 tax document after a more comprehensive search, is it okay if she scan and send or she has to send the original tax documents. Gracias.
