Stancima: Which “point of authority “? Immigration travel ban from Nigeria has been in existence since 2017? You certainly are as ignorant as much as you are conceited . I wonder who you are trying to impress here and why? 1 Like |

emonkey: You once more display your ignorance publicly. For your information Nigeria was added to an existing list of a pre-existing travel ban. My last response to you. People who call names rather than make valid points in arguments don't get my attention 4 Likes |

Stancima: Please clarify on the bold... Does this mean after the ban is imposed every petition automatically goes through the option of waivers and are automatically disqualified for not meeting the conditions? I was of the notion that all petitions will come to a halt until the ban is scraped |

BigJakie: Petitions will continue to be processed; there will be no halting the processing of immigration petitions. Since the introduction of the waiver in 2018 following the supreme court ruling, the DHS has not introduced a form for those seeking a waiver to file for one, neither is there a fee for it. The procedure has been that consular officers at the end of the interview would ask applicants if they want to apply for a waiver; this question is an indication that the Visa has been denied on the basis of the travel ban. So all that is required to be enrolled in the waiver is a verbal consent. Therefore, anyone who is going for interview after February 21st (if Nigeria is not withdrawn from the list by that time) is advised to go with any additional document they think qualify them for the waiver. The approval rate so far is at 6% and about 2% has actually completed the entire waiver procedure successfully as it currently takes time. It's still unclear to what extent the bar for waiver will be raised for Nigerians, irrespective, a proof of undue hardship, qualifying family ties and economic value to the US govt remain the crux of evidence required for waivers. If the ban is not lifted by 21st, it would make a lot of sense for anyone going for an interview to request their relative here in the USA to contact an immigration lawyer to evaluate their chances for a waiver. A number of immigration lawyers here give free consultation in that regards. If the immigration lawyer feels good about your chances, you can contract them to handle it for you if your relatives here can afford it, otherwise you could proceed with the waiver on your own. Applicants reserve the right to put their interview on hold pending the lifting of the ban. 2 Likes |

Stancima: There are TWO classes of Family-based immigration - Immediate Relative and Family Preference. How does the ban affect Immediate relatives (IR). The immigration webite states that availability is UNLIMITED. "Immediate Relative – these visas are based on a close family relationship with a U.S. citizen, such as a spouse, child or parent. The number of immigrants in these categories is not limited each fiscal year" https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration.html |

emonkey: I have been thinking the same. The explanation so far has been general immigration visa but as we know immigration visa types are not the same (employment, IR, F etc) . I learn that even in countries under ban family visas for spouse and parents of US citizens are still considered for approval. Will they still enjoy that privilege in Nigeria too? |

emonkey:There is no reason to fret about the whole the thing there is always a review by the united state of america on the country place on restriction annually to check if there had been any changes in their information sharing and any country that meet the standard would have the ban lifted and that will be October 1st this year interview will still be schedule but to place safe its better to reschedule the interview till the ban is lifted |

Responding, the US Ambassador Leonard said the visa issue was not a ban and that the action was not meant to be a permanent one. saying it would hopefully be resolved “in a single-digit month.” Read more at: https://www.vanguardngr.com/2020/02/gbajabiamila-seeks-review-of-us-visa-ban-on-nigerians/ |

Ajenikoko89:point of currection according to the news US review countries performance every six months if you recalled chad was lifted in April 2018 after six months of ban. And the news also said that the ban could be lifted any time if the country complied no specific period. Single digit month means that it could be lifted within one month to 9 months. And Nigerian government are working hard to get it lifted as soon as possible. So let see what will happen before 21 February 4 Likes |
