Nothing major really,I was on this line with just 6 or 7 of us in it and the officer in that line was really drilling people as to why they’re in the us,it was about to get to my turn when I got called into another line.i lowkey thanked God in my head and after I did my finger print,I was asked to follow an officer into a room I guess is for immigrants and after waiting for a couple of minutes,I got called to come up and I was told that I hope I know I must get married within 90 and I said yes and was given my passport.took some food stuff so i had to go through agric too and they trashsed my egusi cos it wasn’t grinded.was given my passport and babe was waiting outside.those people no too friendly abeg,was greeting them and they didn’t even answer me I just mind my business Wetin concern me.im in Delaware so it isn’t freezing cold yet but it will by January.

Hi guys,
Thought I should ask this question here.

Several times in the 2years, I have been applying for a student visa to the US and have been granted. In those times, I have never indicated that I have been married in my application (even though I was then). Currently I am officially divorce and my fiance in the US want to come down to Nigeria and we're already talking about her filing a k-1 visa for once she comes and goes.

My question is if she wants to apply for a k-1 visa for me, does she need to indicate that I have been divorced? (she knows that I am divorce) I will be grateful if anyone can offer a response to this. Thanks alot house.

Yes. She needs to fill up you info about your marriage, divorce, kids if any. Also you need to provide your past Marriage Certificate, Divorce Degree and kids Birth Certificates if you have any.

@Treasureprince
I was advised by National population commsion staff to get "Attestation of birth certificate" since I was born before 1992 .
So I have to go for the "Attestation of birth certificate instead of the small green birth certificate and then authenticated it at ministry of foreign affairs.

@ Legitbachelor, Sharpman, sukey and other elders in the house
Pls I need a clarification with respect to this medicals.
Must the medicals fall within the 2 weeks of once interview? Because the available appointment dates I got when I tried to schedule a date for my medicals will be 3weeks plus 5 days to my interview.

Here are my questions
(1) has anyone gone for an interview with his/her medicals done up to 3 weeks or upto a month to his/her interview date

(2) Does it have any negative impact?

I guess you went into secondary screening. Mind your business o, here na deh your deh make I deh my deh. They are too conservative. Be mindful of your environment, malls, crowds and all. Happy hols

Few advices to those who would be coming soon. If you have a degree, get in touch with your school and request transcript to avoid stories that touch, learn an IT language eg java, python, JavaScript. Americans are most conservatives, read about your state (some states are still racists o). Be wary of your environment, malls, crowds. Here it is deh your deh make I deh my deh. For those who just got in, if you need something from your neighbor, ask them first(them like their personal space o). Successful interviews and approval to those upcoming. Happy hols.

@Brownesugar
I authenticated my attestation of birth certificate at Ministry of foreign affairs Abuja. But find out if it can be authenticated in Ministry of foreign affairs, Lagos.

But since some people that were born in the 80's said that they used the small green birth certificate from NPC at the Embassy, then I think u should relax.

I was only advised to get the Attestation of birth since I was born before 1992 because on that attestation of birth certificate it stated that. "This falls beyond the coverage of the Act No.69 of December, 1992( which is the small green birth certificate) for inssuance of birth certificate. In the light of the above information gratefully accept this birth attestation letter in respect of...........My Names.""

So based on the above information it means I am supposed to have the Attestation of birth certificate.

In case u have to get the Attestation of birth certificate, you have to go to a high court to get an affidavit of age declaration that u will present at National population commission, is a requirement.

Thanks for the info @study4life ,@legitbachelor read at the prev pages of pple born before 1992 getting it made me ask,attached herewith is a copy of the green small one i have(want to know if its recognize at embassy/over there?) Tho lld see to getting affidavit of age declaration and attestation of birth cert..to leave no stones unturned..what do u guys think?

SmartKitty:

Yes. She needs to fill up you info about your marriage, divorce, kids if any. Also you need to provide your past Marriage Certificate, Divorce Degree and kids Birth Certificates if you have any.

Thanks for your response.

That’s the same one I have. I am getting the attestation done at NPC Surulere. Actually going to pick it up in an hour. From what I’ve read, the short form Birth Cert is not recognised by the CO.

I advise you get the attestation done as well.

Cheers...

Okay, one more question please. In my case, I have applied several times to the US and I never stated it in all my applications that I was married. Now if she fill this info in the K-1 application, and during the Interview, the VO request to see the marriage certificate, and notices that I have been married before I started applying for the study visa in the past and never stated it, do you think it can cause a problem for me?

Thank you very much.

It will raise an eyebrow on the side of the VO so stick to what you've previously been filling in the form
