You get for as long as your passport is valid for most times. Application flies from either NY and LA as at the last I knew of. Anyways, let's not derail the thread

Thanks @omobendel24, we are at zero balance on all our bills, just planning the trip for December. So August is not an appropriate time?

Transcripts are meant to help folks self evaluate. Code stuff that can identify u but salary and lenght of work is real important to the weight of a transcript

Thank you Babbs45. IR5, is this the same thing as filing for green card?
Can you walk me through the process, I mean step by step please wink



It's very simple, you don't need a lawyer. I didn't use one. You'll have to file the I-130 forms with USCIS with your supporting documents like proof of citizenship and your birth cert showing your mom's name. The filing fee is $420.
When it is approved you'll get notification indicating that the application is been forwarded to national visa center ( NVC ). And this is when the real process starts. How quickly your mom gets interviewed depends on how fast you're able to submit all documents required.

A case number will be generated for your mom and with that you can check the status of her application and determine the time she'll likely be interviewed ( visa bulletin)

The first line of action from nvc will be a form being sent to your mom ( choose an agent ). She has fill it indicating that you'll be her agent. All correspondent will then be sent to you.

You will be paying immigrants visa processing fee and affidavit of support fee. Not sure how much it is now, budget about $2000 for the whole process. Pls do check NVC website, all documents needed is clearly stated there. After all documents and fees have been received and paid, the application is then is forwarded to US embassy in Lagos. You get about a month and half notice before the interview

Try and have all your required documents ready to make the process smooth and fast. Will be happy to answer any questions.

Good luck to you.

Congratulations.
Take a copy of your wife's data page/visa page and also a copy of her medical bill payment receipt together with your own documents and account statement


My Son and I were issued our visa this morning. The only document the VO requested was a copy of my wife's visa page.

Thanks a lot.

Yes, it's the same. Your mom falls under the Immediate Relative (IR5). So, you look under that category on the visa bulletin.

Just checked the immigrant visa processing fee is $325 and the affidavit of support fee is $120. She'll be doing Medicals, police report etc.

Not an issue. In your MRV fees payment at GTB, on your DS160 form or in your appointment booking? Should be B1 specifically, but you should be fine.

Saw that one too and wondered you know, unbleeping these details to other readers serves its purpose much, maybe applicant likes himself undercover or something. We could pick some people's identity from their transcript just like i almost thought he was one of my friends from UNI days resident in PH, but the wife doesn't fit the bill. See?

Just allow some time, December is good. Don't ask for visa in patterns that makes it look like you and family are on about some relocation stuff. Desperation must be eliminated, dig?

Yes, wahala dey if others/former ones were submitted. That is if you have been altering and fine tuning key areas to become a "better you", far from each other as can be ascertained from the three so far submitted forms, just in case if that is what you want to get clear sha. Don't get deceived to believe that once you change your previously submitted DS160 form to another, there then will be no trace or you can't be held accountable for what was filled in the others. Part of the reason some are refused visa without any idea of why, i deduce. Passport details will not change on any of the three submitted forms na, will they? Why then will your work or family info/details be changing "upandan" SUBSTANTIALLY for instance?

If you have less than 1year validity left on your passport, you won't get more than that one year oh. Don't miss the point I'm making here. You get five years if your passport just got renewed and has that much validity span left on it. Dig?

Documents are HARDLY ever checked. The VOs here on nairaland say this all the time. All you need is a genuine reason to visit the US, great ties (a good job/business and family) and maybe some travel history (people without travel history do get visas).

Like Lady G said, do check the first page of this thread and read through the entire thread... you will find ALL the answers you need
All the best!

I've noticed that the only time people find out about this thread is ater they've done the wrong things. Anyways the only solution is let in your hands when filling your application next time put your real marital status and when the change in marital status pops up, then explain ur misinterpretation to the vo. Other gurus would chip in somethings.
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 2 by NaGodwin: 11:50pm On Jun 22, 2016
U wan travel leave ur 10months old twins, abi?
It's alright, dis is a very simple case
Kindly ask the agent to provide a wife and 10 month s old twins for you, then u can reapply with them as a family, make sure say d twins na boys oh
Then, u ll not only get a visa, u ll be given an America passport.
