Oladeep:
How far with ur opt out? Have u gotten an approval? I pray u get IL b4 month end.

Amen to your prayer Bro. I haven't heard from them yet, since they replied my mom last week that it was under review. I equally wrote them like a week after my mom wrote them using the link tj28 gave me. They replied me 2days ago saying it was under review too. My mom called them and they told her to call them again beginning of the month. Am just praying they send everything once. Me sef I wan give Una goodness this month end. *smiles*

Fayose4Presdent:


its CR1...Less than 2 year's of marriage.Thanks for the clarifications

You are very welcome. It's good that you know, so that u are well prepared during your interview. All the best.

Fayose4Presdent:


Pretty16,I don't really know much about all this abbreviations, but my category should be F2B cos my wife (USC) filed for me last year June ,that's why the PD was June 2017

No, you are not F2B like @Elfmann said. F2B is Unmarried Adult Children of Permanent Residents. If your Wife is a USC, then your category is CR1 ( conditional relative/spouse if u have been married for less than 2yrs. But if u have been married for more than 2yrs, that's IR1( Immediate relative ) and there is no waiting times for this cases, hence Una matter no concern VISA BULLETINS. Once USC approves your case and it moves to NVC, you are contacted immediately to continue your process. Check your file well because for your priority date to be June 2017, you are either in the CR1/IR1 category. You can also find out from your Wife, So that you are fully prepared during your interview. At this point you should not even be confused as to the category you fall in.

Fayose4Presdent:
Afternoon house..Just got my interview letter under F2B category... July 24

How can I get my NPC Certificate here in Lagos?.. Address and costs

@Fayose4Presdent, u said your category is F2B and your Question was based on U.S citizen spouse, Which category happens to be CR1/IR1 as the case may be. Or is your wifey an LPR, in that case your category should be F2A not F2B, unless you were making an inquiry for someone else . And your P. D is June 2017, Abi Na mistake??

Oladeep:
Koolkesh and Stancima were actually right. My visa was issued the following day after my interview. I didn't hear from DHL till 4 days after though and I think it took them that long due to the Eid-el- fitri holidays.

Wow! That's amazing.

Oladeep:
Yes ooo...We can't wait to celebrate with u too. I remember the day u opened this thread, I was d first person that commented. 20years of waiting will still come to remain a day at some point . I urge those still waiting in line for their turn to be patient, their time will surely come. It's just a matter of time.

Yes ooo. You have really been consistent right from day 1 of the thread. I hope after u have relocated, u will still find time to assist ppl on the thread?

Oladeep:
Yeah...collected it today.

Congratulations once again Bro. Remember you must NOT open the packet. It should remain sealed and submitted to an immigration officer @ ur POE.
The long waiting Journey has finally come to an end. Divine relocation things.

Oladeep:
Imagine my passport was ready since 4 days ago....just saw their mail in my inbox.

How many collection centers do they have? Any collection center at mainland Or is it just only on the island?

Oladeep:
Imagine my passport was ready since 4 days ago....just saw their mail in my inbox.

Wow! Really? Hope you have gone for collection.

Oladeep:
Guess she has gotten her visa, else she go don find her way come here.

Hahaha!@ Oladeep u are just a clown.

@ Chicksy, any one heard from her. After the DNA, have they gotten their visa yet? She chatted on here sometime back IR1 category.

Oladeep:
I think my own visa gonna take 10 business days as against Stancima and koolkesh's claim of 24 hours. Maybe collection differs for each category sha. I still haven't gotten a message from them for collection.

Really? Their Visa was ready under 24hrs? Na 10 business days I know say them dey write ooo.

Elfmannisback:

The three months is for Alagbon, US sees it as twelve months, Canada sees it as 6months.

Yea. I concur.

@ Oladeep did they ask you to get another police report, cos the one from last year would have expired or did u go ahead to get another police report before going for your interview?

Oladeep:
That means u have ur dad's complexion.Like u said, hopefully I will be d judge someday...

Yes you are right. I have my dad's complexion.

tj28:


You can add spouse and children to your petition..its better you do that now so that when you get your welcome letter and your ceac page opens up their details will already be included.
Go to. https://secureforms.travel.state.gov/ask-nvc.php
Under questions you'll see the option of adding spouse/children to your petition.

Exactly. I wanted to say exactly the same thing. You just hit the nail on the head. Nice one .

Oladeep:
Chai! Pretty16, See what u wanna hide...Look at how beautiful ur mom is...she's an epitome of beauty. Hope u took after her?

Hahaha @ Oladeep. Thanks. I am a darker version. Don't worry someday soon I will let you be the judge of that.

Beautyaddy:


Loool!!...why the panic now...you don't want us to see your mom's pretty picture?...Relax!

Lolzzz

Oladeep:
Her pic still displays

For real?

Oladeep:
She can simply use the "remove this picture" option

Whew! Yea, she finally figured out how to remove it and did it herself. Lolzz

See me see wahala ooo. My mummy don go dey chat for our forum here and mistakenly put up her picture. She just called me now, Na so I see am. I beg who Sabi how to remove picture From Forum ooo. Na me teach am how to visit nairaland. Pls anyone know how to remove pics ? @oladeep or do I call on the mods, I think they can remove pictures from a thread. Pls @ Sir Justwise, need your assistance, To remove a picture that was mistakenly uploaded on the thread.

Oladeep:
Hopefully she gets it before they start dishing out interview dates...

Amen to that.

tj28:
@pretty16, you are likely to get interview date by the end of the month. Call on the 28th to ask the status of your case.

Amen ooo. I will . Just waiting to hear from them.

Elfmannisback:

No matter what, migrating back to F2B was a great idea. Although every category moved, if u don't get current now, be sure in the next. Let them just approve!

Yes ooo. @Elfmann. Just waiting for the approval of the Opt out.

Oladeep:
July VB is out...Pretty16, ur PD is current under F2B ...Congrats.

Wow! That's true ooo. Na for them to approve it now. U guys should put me in ur prayers ooo. This one they sent us message that it's under review. I was like whether they are waiting for the bulletin to come out before making their decision.

AJEGBINJEKARAUN:
thanks so much

You're welcome.

AJEGBINJEKARAUN:
My PD February, 2012 and yet to receive welcoming letter. Anyone in my shoes pls?

The 2nd cut off dates Chart on the Visa bulletin still shows Jan 2012 for F1 category and then 2011 for F2B once that moves, u will receive your welcome letter. It has been like that since last year. Guess they want to treat all the cases that received their welcome letter last year before it moves again.

Oladeep:
Alright...God is in control.

Amen Bro

Oladeep:
Thank u my Sister. The joy I had yesterday was indescribable. Even the VO was laughing when she saw d way I reacted d moment she gave d approval. Everybody was just looking at me d way I was just blushing on my way out...It was really a great experience. How far with ur opting out?

Yes ooo, I can just imagine the Joy. As per the opting out, they just wrote us that they have received our letter and that's is under review. I don't know maybe they are waiting for the bulletin to come out before making their decision. Na God hand I put everything.

Oladeep:
Got there early and got on the queue, we were given numbers and ushered into the immigrant section. Medicals, birth certificate, police report , Passport photographs and international passport were collected and later we were called to take our fingerprints. Then a young black American lady called me for the interview which went thus.
VO: Good morning
me: Good morning
VO: What's your surname
me: Told her
VO : Who petitioned for u ? , What does she do?, How long has she been in the US? Do u have any pictures together? Are u married? , do u have kids?, asked for my parents names and also asked questions about my other sibling that was petitioned alongside with me but hasnt gotten an interview date yet. Then finally she said I will just go ahead and approve ur visa and gave me two white papers. That's all

Yay! Congratulations my personal person. Hahaha, Omo June 12. Am so happy for u. 14yrs no be joke. Even both of my petitions put together, still no reach that 14yrs. Oluwa ti se. Chukwu Daalu. God has done it. We give him thanks.

tj28:
The only email I got from nvc concerning opt out was that I should get in touch with dhs and indicate the benefit of opt out bla bla. At the footer of the email my category had changed to f2b. I never got anything like under review
However I didn't write a letter. I used
https://secureforms.travel.state.gov/ask-nvc.php
There's option of opt out where you have "your question"

Oh ok. Thanks for the quick reply.

tj28:


Oh ok. You might want to convince. Like @stancima wrote, I don't think you have anything to lose. Its either they approve or not. It doesn't slow down your process in anyway. That's my opinion though

@tj28, Did u get a response from NVC that you have been converted to F2B or did they first write that they have received your letter and it's under review.
