[quote author=Oladeep post=65810315][/quote]all the best Bro. Make sure u keep us posted on any development. Its about time. The journey no be here.

Oladeep:
April 2018 VB... F1 moved by 17days; F4 moved by 24days

And I was thinking I would paste this first. Oladeep u try well well. You might just get your interview letter early next month

Stancima:
That was in August last year.

OK.

Stancima:
I got a message from NVC yesterday that my interview is scheduled in Lagos on 25th April at 6.30am. My priority date is 1st April and am on F2B. Although I was on F1 but triggered the opt out clause around July Last year which brought my application back to F2B.

@ Stancima, which month last year did you get your welcome letter from NVC??

Wow! Congrats. This is good news. Which means the next visa bulletin should move, cos F2B is currently in March. I hope F1 moves. Cos it looks like everyone in F2B ran to F1 becos of fear of the Unknown with what's happening with the immigration reform debate, which is what could be making it slow, while F2B is now moving Faster.

1month after DNA testing,Not Heard anything from the Embassy yet... ���� o su MI o... what are tiring, long, expensive process...since 2015,Haha America fear God na... anyways don't fall my hand in the end sha........Happy New month guys

Just hang in there. Sure you will hear from them soon. Happy new month to you too.

Its so obvious the guy is her brother. The resemblance is there.

The terrible things happening these days, is worse than the time of SODOM AND GOMORRAH. Smh

OboOlora:
They better do paternity test

You will be shocked that even at old age men still have the ability to get women pregnant. Its the women that are weaker when they are old. And he has a young wife. So what makes u think he can't get her pregnant. ?

But this is really bad. That ppl have to be flown abroad for medical treatment. What are our politicians doing? The Youths in this country need to wake up. This old men need to retire. And give the young generation a chance. They should stop recycling themselves in power.

The Fish is Big. But not worth 10k. Why u go let person GBA u like that? For this Buhari regime.

maurice1981:
for immigrants visa..can medical be obtained by government hospital like teaching hospital

Nope. The U.S embassy has 3 hospitals they use. 1 in Abuja and 2 in Lagos
They will include it on the packet they will send to you.

justwise:
Embassies hardly allow you to make changes to already submitted application, even airlines will charge you heavily to correct a single letter after paying for a ticket.

This is why it’s very important to go through your form before submitting it.

I concur.

honharr:
The change is like"instead of amarachi as in birth cert you now have amara in passport.and it's a middle name.
That's the wahala

I don't think that should be a problem. Like koolkesh said u can get a sworn affidavit from court explaining. The full name was shortened. It still means samething. Am sure they will understand. But still make sure to ask the V.O

honharr:
passport is current until 2022.How about a court affidavit showing that both names are one and the same.backdated to time b4 my case

To be honest, I really don't know how this will play out. I suggest you ask the V.O on nairaland. He should be of help in this case.

honharr:
thanks. solutions needed.i already know there is a problem

Is your passport about to expire? ,get it sorted out with the name on your case file and birth certificate.

Oladeep:
I'm fine my sister. I don't know why ur category is moving at a snail pace. The funny thing is that when it starts moving fast, It will just skyrocket ni. As for me, hopefully, I should get my interview letter dis month or next month.

Yes oo my brother. I know . All things are working together for my good. Hopefully u might be hearing from them in March. All the best.

Oladeep:
visa bulletin March 2018
F1 moved by 7days, F4 moved by 1month.

F1 moved by only a week. Even F2B moved by almost 2months. Issorai! @Oladeep how are u doing my brother?

salsera:
I'm 2012 my dear..so I'm still here.
Sigh I'm wondering if this was worth it.

Wo. I'm just all for reform jare. A system that makes people wait 6,10 20 years for legal migration is just messed up. Then it'forces' to stay unmarried etc just to make it.
Other countries are done in less than 2years

When I read VJ with details of ppl on wait times I'm not surprised ppl come in illegally.
Honestly I get that migration is a privilege and not a right but I think these wait times are inhumane both for the consulate staff as workload and for those applying.

I feel u dear. We hope for the best.

salsera:
The only way to clear that backlog ( which increases by the day especially more so now because ppl are afraid),is to
1. Make more visas available ( which is only available through scrapping DV lottery)
2. Put money for more consulate staff which they don't want to do . Besides they are negotiating for money for border security.

The deal for DACA would mean visas leading to citizenship for abt 2million people already so I don't see that helping with current backlog.
Addressing backlog without adding more staff hands means they need to cut off existing petitions..i mean some ppl are on a 20yr wait. That's my opinion anyways. If they don't do that.then regardless of this bill the current pace of the bulletin will continue as is or get worse.
4million people and counting waiting for possible only less that 100,000 visas per year..its still going to be slow.
Anyways for those with just a year or so you'll at least be at the end of the curve

Salsera when is your priority date? Have u received your welcome letter?

Oladeep:
Yeah LPR couples and minor children are included...are u telling me LPR will have to wait for 5 years before they can petition?

I think that's their plan. Funny thing is some years ago, LPR married couples had to wait 5yrs before their spouses joined them. Think it was Obama's time it changed.

Oh Lord pls direct our steps. Don't let us be in the wrong place at the wrong time. RIP to the dead.

Chuksmonika:
but in F2B,the beneficiary will have to wait for his/her parent to be US citizens first b4 they can petition for the person,as to what was formally the case,where they can petition as LPR,US immigration law no be here oo

I think if the Bill passes, anything that has to do with adult children and siblings will be scrapped. They will concentrate on U.S.C couples and minor children. Right now am not even sure if they are including LPR couples and minor children. But they said they will clear the backlog. That over 4million have been waiting to migrate legally.

Oladeep:
F4 will be affected and F2B will not, except age of minor children will fall under 18years. Besides, a termination date will be set for d new bill to start taking effect and I think approved cases would be processed to the end before the termination date.

@ oladeep F2A may not be affected, but F2B will

Meanwhile they should have started giving out Interview Letters from today. Anyone got Interview dates Yet?

Oladeep:
Nothing will happen. The new immigration reform exempt spouse and minor children of both LPR and US citizen. So I'm covered and besides, In case the reform finally went through, guess there would be lesser wait time since enough visa go dey to go round d exempted family based.

Oh OK. Thought they limited it to U.S citizens not LPR. Its all good my brother. All will be well.

stacyadams:
thanx bro and pretty16 too

You welcome stacyadams

Oladeep:
I know getting married won't affect my status, it's just d expenses involved that I'm worried about. Marriage, flight , AOS and some other expenses. It's better I go first, settle down and later bring over my family. Since wait time for F2A is barely two years, i would have gotten a good job, nice apartment before the 2years elapses and Besides, I don't wanna inconvenient my Sis with my family ish since I will be leaving with her for a while. se u get?...

Yea. OK. I feel you. But with what's going on with the immigration ish, we really don't know what the future holds, but we hope for the best.

@ Oladeep wish I would see a quote from the 1st nairaland V.O that was on the immigrant Visa thread before she was transferred out of Nigeria. I would have posted to you. I will check to see if I will see it. Someone on F4 told her that he put a hold on getting married to his girlfriend cos he doesn't want it to affect his status. She told the person getting married will not affect his status. So he can go ahead and marry his girlfriend and have kids. And he can contact NVC and inform them. That it will not change his status in anyway

Oladeep:
How many kids does he have? Thinking of impregnating my babe, engage her and later come back to marry her, file for her and my kid and later travel together. I'm afraid we might not end up together if I leave without engaging or been committed to her and I no wan lose that babe as she has been with me when I have nothing and still with me till now. She deserves d best and my Sis dey always tell me say wife no dey abroad o! lol. We can't go together for now considering all d expenses involved...It is well sha.

He has 2kids. Asked him why he didn't include them as his derivatives like me. He said the expenses. His mom Filed for him and 2 other brothers. Adding the kids would be too much for her. But Oladeep, you getting married to your babe will not affect your status at all. She would follow you as your derivative. Because the wait time for siblings is usually the longest, that's why getting married does not affect their status. Unlike we in F1, if you get married your status changes to F3 and that means longer wait.

See how handsome the little man is. How can a mother abandon this beautiful soul? na was for some women ooo

ken1982:
lol...this got me tripping in my head. same shit happened to me but LORD so kind the fellow is busy looking for oyibo wife on visit visa as na fake as nigga in be right from time while me i dy my zone jeje dy chop chicken biriyani for middle east. See ..helping people is fun. no regrets.
even if they do not remember you when they are up OLUWA is more than sufficient for us all.

. Yes ooo. Oluwa is more than sufficient. Apparently the guy came to his senses. Called me and was apologising that he was busy, i tell am say i hear you. That this one he chats with me on WhatsApp and I keep to myself. I told him why won't I keep to myself when he was acting like say person wan winchy am. Whether I wan come collect him travel documents from am ni, just to discuss how his interview went he started acting funny. Whether na like that I take behave towards am, when he was asking for help about his immigration process. He now apologized and made peace, I told him no hard feelings. He Called me yesterday that he is leaving naija next week. His younger Bro already left with his mom 2days ago. Told him I wish him all the best and he should make sure he comes back on time to file for his kids and get married to their mom. He said he will do that next year.
