Hello everyone,

I tried reading from the start, but please I couldn’t understand it properly.

My dad (almost 70) was written a few months again if he would still want to migrate and that a visa number was available.

1. Please what’s next?

2. Will I be able to go with him (I am just below 30)

3. How long will it take?

4. What’s the process??

5. I might be out of the country for a few years, studying, will that affect it and do I as his son need to go for the interview (in Nigeria)?

6. They sent the physical letter to his old address and it’s all the way in Lagos. How do we change the address please?


PLEASE everyone. If these can be answered, I’ll be extremely grateful.

God bless.

Who filed for your dad, what category does he fall in?
If you are below 30, you cannot migrate with your dad unless you are UNDER THE AGE OF 21. Your Dad will have to File for you as a green card holder as soon as he relocates.
Note: as a green card holder if your dad files for you, the wait times is 7yrs. If you get married while your dad is a green card holder, your petition will be terminated. If your dad becomes a citizen and u get married, your petition is moved to F3 and the wait time is about 11yrs.

You should contact NVC to let them know your address has changed. Am sure they would have sent instructions on how to reach them in the letter that was sent

Welcome to the thread. First thing you need to read the guidelines on how to proceed on the welcome letter. it's pretty self explanatory. If u have any issues let is know. I think the first thing to fill and pay is the form DS261 Choose an agent form.
Re: At The NVC Processing Stage Of The U. S Family Based Preference Category. by pretty16(f): 5:36pm On Aug 15, 2018
Hello my peoples. I got my Visa approved today, to the Glory of God. Had a 6.30 am appointment. I was scared of using taxify cos I didn't know whether they work very early hours of the morning, so I got a yellow cab man to be in my house by 4a.m. o boy , the Cabman reach my place 2.30a.m. I say today na today. God bless him though for arriving earlier than expected. Got my kids set and we left the house at 4.10. got to the embassy to 5. Before we could say jack Robinson, na 6a.m ooo. We join queue. We were moving quickly cos I had 3boys with me, one on the baby carrier then my drama boy, ( my 3yr old) and then my little helper, my 6yr old. We got stuck in front. My 3yr old start drama. We finally entered. Got in, @ the naija section was called in to put passport photographs in passport, original birth certificate, medical report. Me way pack all my photo copies, not knowing that my mom gave them photo copies when she mailed my form to NVC. She gave them extra plus jara cos everything wey I carry them no collect 1. I just carry load go, carry load come back. Then we sat down and waited. For finger printing. Na so my drama boy start him own ooo. He didn't let his brother share his seat with him, not to talk of others, them just dey hail me, say mama boys, the Lord is your strength.
Only 2 VO's on the immigrant section 1 male 1 female. The male VO, white on window 19 seemed nice and calm. I sat across to him was watching the ppl he was questioning before me. I was like lord let this man call me. He eventually did. I went in. my boys were just playing. I just sat baby down and faced him and he asked me.

Me: Good morning Sir.
VO: good morning. Do you swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth I said yes. And then he took my finger print to represent mine and the kids.
VO: first question: how long has your mom been in the U.S , I told him.
When last did she come to Nigeria, I told him,
What did you guys do when she came to Nigeria, I told him, we went swimming, to the movie s etc. He asked which movie we saw, I said I can't remember. He said what car does my mom drive I told him.
Then he said how often does my mom come to Nigeria, I said every year Until 2015, he said ok do you have pictures of your mum and the kids I said yes. Passed him the pictures . First thing he was pics of us swimming , my mum playing with her grand children. And then he saw my step dad and asked who's The Man in the middle and I said oh That's my stepdad. And then he nodded and said oh ok by stepdad that's mom's husband , looked through our WhatsApp call records and passed it to me.
And then the question I was waiting for.
VO : what about your kids dad, I said oh my Boyfriend, and then he said your not married yet, I said no. And he said why is that, I said when my mom petitioned for me, the first thing she said to me was don't get married. The process will take longer if you are married cos she wants us with her as soon as possible. He nodded. And said I should pls give him a few minutes. He went in, after sometime he came out, and then asked me how long have you and your boyfriend been dating I said since 2010. And he said to me, your Visa has been approved. I said thank you Sir. And he passed me the collection papers and the form to pay the $220 immigrant fee.
He didn't ask for my Opt out approval letter. I think they had notified them. Cos they wrote F2B boldly on my File.
He didn't ask for any other documents. My mom had updated them with everything. As I pack the docs go, na so I pack am come back. I thank God for everything. Thanking all of you on this thread too. We have really helped each other 'no man is an Island'. Thanks to tj28, Oladeep, stancima, Fayose4presdent, Wilsub, Elfmann, all you guys who have contributed to this thread one way or another. You guys rock cheesy wink. We need to pop Champaign. Na to begin search for ticket now ooo. any ideas on where to start looking. Na Delta Airlines. For 4 ppl. Abeg make una point me to the right direction. Make I get idea how much. No payment until I pick up my kpali first grin cheesy.
