Greetings! Please who has any idea if CR1 Visa (Spousal) is still being processed and issued to Nigerians even at the expense of the ban? I was informed Yes but I needed to be sure here and hence my question. I look forward to a helpful answer. I'll appreciate any valuable information about this particular Visa. Thank you

It can be a issue as per the time of arrival, so you’ll have to had an agreement with any Uber driver before the day about the time he is able to come pick you the next day

There are guys outside as read from here who could hold safe your belongings for you for just like 1k

x506:
I don't understand. Please is ordering Uber's an issue especially if you reside in Lagos not too far from the embassy?

I've been thinking about handling my phone too. How much does it cost for someone to hold on to it?

Hello fam,

Please, how do I pay SEVIS fee from Nigeria?
It is showing check, money order, and western union options.

Thank you!

Hello, could you please let me know how you scheduled an emergency appointment in Lagos? Was it through an email to LagosNIV? I need to schedule one quickly. Thank you.

Please, I need a clarification. I had already secured an interview date in December before I got an emergency date in November and I will be going for the interview tomorrow, am I suppose to cancel the appointment I have in December before the interview or I can just go ahead with the interview without canceling the appointment in December?
I need guidance on this, thank you!

When filing the ds 160 form, should NYSC be listed under para military or part of work experience?

Also how do you answer the question, where will you quarantine? if you stated the school address as where you will be staying.

Print out the mail for the emergency appointment and go with it for your interview. You don’t have to cancel the old appointment. I think it makes no difference though. Cos lots of people didn’t get appointment at all and was sent email for emergency? Good luck

tsirin:
please is it advisable to go to the embassy with the bank statement used to secure the F1-20 form or I get the new one from my sponsor, Since September till next week Monday hope it is still valid ?

thanks

Or maybe cancelling the invalid one Creates an opening and gives other people access to the date.
