I'm in Lag

BENSU:
Post the Myanmar vj link here please

kentoski:
Guys please could you spare a minute to help me out here.

My cousin just called me to say she's just being invited for her visa interview, she got married in late 2018 (her hubby is a US citizen), and they've been in the process of processing her visa so she could join him...the the IR1 visa. Please is there anything she needs to know? What to expect and pitfalls to avoid?

Secondly, she was also instructed to book a medical at Qlife or IOM, which of this is better option? and importantly, she's currently pregnant, her hubby spent quite a holiday last Xmas & new yr in naija, ...would this affect the medical or outcome of the interview in anyway?

Any clarifications and responses will be deeply appreciated. Thank you.

kentoski:
Thank you,

I won't quote you, Lol

But could you explain better, what kind of waiver?

sandraigho:
I've got till April so i hope i decide on what to do before then.
When is your interview?

Laboutique:
Well hurry up so that when you are ready there would still be dates available before your case expiration date,because that in itself is an issue

sandraigho:
Thanks much.

Ive learnt from here that all you need to ensure is to book the interview before the expiration date. It doesn't matter if you get a date afterwards.

NTUk1:
I’ve actually heard of people getting denied because their interview date was after the expiry of their petition and the consular officer didn’t extend their petition. I think you should fix a date to avoid any complications.

I sent an email to US Embassy in Krygystan, concerning the k-1 visa and they just confirmed that it is not affected! Krygystan has the same ban as Nigeria, so I wonder why US embassy in Nigeria is acting shady and withholding information. It is clear that k-1 visa is not affected.

NTUk1:
God bless you for going out of your way to do this. I was thinking about why they were being shady before and the only thought that came to my mind is that they might want to deny more K1 applicants and hide under this travel ban saga. But God dey.
So now 2 countries have confirmed that the K1 is exempt from the ban.

paosca20:
Sis, it is crystal clear that k-1 visa isn’t affected, and I want to believe they will do the right thing! For those with NVC approvals, you guys should schedule your interviews and do the needful! K-1 visa is a non-immigrant visa!

NTUk1:
I really pray they do. Thanks a lot for your encouragement and support, we shall all testify.

NTUk1:
I don’t know much about the waivers for now. It’s supposed to be given based on individual circumstances by the consular officer. I don’t know much about it.

Treasureprince1:
Please can you guide me a little?

NTUk1:
Start filling the Ds160 form, while you’re at it you can go to any Gtbank branch with a copy of your passport data page and visa fee of 98,050. Tell them you want to pay for the K1 visa category. They will give you a payment confirmation that contains your payment reference number. Go to ustraveldocs.com create an account and schedule your appointment. Make sure the confirmation number on your appointment letter tallies with that of your ds160 confirmation number. If not call the customer care line and they will fix that for you.

Treasureprince1:
Please do i need to pay visa fee before filling ds160 form or do i need to fill the form before paying the fees, I need a little guidance on this please

sandraigho:
Someone just confirmed on VJ that her fiance was interviewed this morning and approved.

dicsnemma:
I’ll suggest you fill the DS 160 form first before paying the visa fee. You can create your profile on ustraveldocs after paying the visa fee using your CGI print out from GTbank. Good luck

Treasureprince1:
yes o, I just saw it, God abeg o

@codemaster2much

Sorry about the denial. However, I don't think there's any need of getting an Immigration lawyer because you can't appeal a K-1 Visa denial.

I believe the rule is that you can only appeal a Spousal (CR-1) Visa denial.

I stand to be corrected though.

@LegitBachelor, @Drenimarcus, @sharpman1, & others...... your thoughts please

All the best.
