You should get the police certificates and send to NVC. The police certificates is valid for 1yr. Even though Nigerians police certificates is issued for 3months, but the embassy validates it for 1yr. So if your interview comes up a year after you have done your police report, then you will need another.

What visa class? If your visa is unmarried son you CANNOT get married until you go into the US and get your green card. You will void your visa.
Your visa class will determine what steps to take.
Spousal visa is about 2 years. That's f2a.

tj28, just explained to you that you CAN NOT get married until you have relocated to the U.S and collected your green card. Even of you have paid for the green card here. You must remain Unmarried until you have gone to the U.S , then collect your green card and then come back and get married to your girlfriend. You want to Use your own hand to Void your Visa? Good luck with that.

That you paid for your green card doesn't mean you are a green card holder yet. You CANNOT get married till you go into the US and get your green card. And if you do and you somehow scale through without their knowledge now, it will still come out when you are filing for her because your marriage certificate will show when you married and when you entered the US. My advise is dont complicate issues for yourself especially if it's something avoidable and straightforward as this is. It won't only affect her filing, it will affect your status.
I wish you all the best.

Getting married while waiting for your F4 petition does not affect it in anyway. The wait time for F4 petition is currently 14yrs. U just have to write NVC to inform them when case is about becoming current, to add your family to your case. They will instruct you on how to pay their Visa fee and all, once u get to that bridge.
Hope this helps.

Once need to understand this marriage issue especially when processing immigrant visa. My girlfriend gave birth to our first kid in 2012, same year my stepmum filed f1 visa for me, another one in 2014 . The problem was her family members especially her mum...they were pushing us to get married which I can't in other not change my case to f3 because of the waiting period. Until I explained the whole scenrio to her mum that I have plan to marry their daughter but not until I move to US and come back. It was so frustrating my people

It's better you wait to get your green card before you get married, I was formally on f1, I got married before I was called for my interview and my case changed to f3. Am still waiting for my f3 case to be current.

@pretty16 pls kindly reply.....I thought the wait time for f4 was 10yrs....mine was filed in 2013 and I am married now... when do you think is the right time to add my spouse and children’s name. Secondly hope visa denial doesn’t affect this process. Thanks

It's about 14yrs wait. So u should be looking at the year 2027 for ur case to become current. But bear it in mind that change is a constant thing in life, so who knows before then there could be a change in the immigration processing. You could contact NVC 1year before you become current, depending on how large your family grows, to add them to your case.

I gave birth to a baby girl last week Wednesday, I have already added my spouse and other kids to my case, do I need to write to nvc before adding the baby, or I send her birth certificate directly since I have the email address.
