Wanna give a little update on the medicals I did. I had my medicals in the hospital in Abuja. I initially paid N80,900 but had to pay an additional N13,900 for 3 vaccination (because I could not present my old vaccination records). I got there 8am left there around 1:30pm (I was the 18th person) although the nurse told us some staffs are currently on leave because of the festive season, so manpower reduced a little, hence the delay. I was required to bring along the p4 letter, my international passport and a copy of the payment (either transfer or bank teller).

I hope this information would be useful for someone.

Very helpful bro. Thanks a lot.

The little chap is just a cutie. He is blessed.

That is not true. U don't judge peoples height by what they have down there. There are some ppl with average height, but their John Thomas, You will be shocked. Likewise some tall guys with smaller sizes. Pls Wish the couple well oooo.*

Good looking guy, that looked so full of life. Oh! what a life.?

koolkesh:


In Abuja the hospital charges N80,900 I also heard one of the hospital in Lagos also collect something similar (I think that is the one in Ikoyi) while the one in V.I is 100k thereabout.



Just like the rest said, ignore him. karma has a lovely way of always serving you right back when you won't expect it.

My brother, I don pack well for my lane. I have totally ignored him. Ppl like that, omo na to fear them. What he doesn't know is that no man is an island.

Oladeep:
At a point, I wondered why u didn't actually share his experience at d embassy after u had promised to do so. Forget him, his experience is irrelevant. It's certain u gonna get ur visa so far u can prove ur relationship with ur petitioner and provide all other documents they required. Countless number of people have shared their experience here on NL and we've all learned from it. For example is ttmacoy, he's always willing to help. He thought he has actually scaled through forgetting he's still gonna pass through POE. I don't wish him bad o, sharing his experience is just for d fun of it. I know he's still gonna need ur help for some info but he won't know how to ask u cos he knows he already fvcked up.

I tell you my brother. His experience is irrelevant to me. I just didn't think he would go that far as to keep to himself simply becos he has gone for his interview. Its still amazing and funny to me. I really don't know why he made the whole thing a big deal. Forgetting that my own petitioner too is my mom. Even if I was being asked questions about my relationship with my mom in my dream. Does it mean I will not answer?. OK. Could u imagine I even had to tell him to take along pictures of him and his mom, as part of the documents to go along with him. He was only going to take along his international passport, passport photographs and Affidavit of support form. Until I told him additional documents to prove his relationship with his petitioner. That its even written on the form. Before he started looking for pictures to take with him.

110 gini? This 28K wey Canada own cost me, dey pain me small. Forget that guy or forget asking any more questions.

stacyadams:
human beings....as if e talk about the interview,us embassy go call am ,collect thier visa back....pretty16..no mind am...em go still call u back for one help or the other...

The matter weak me.

Kai! At this rate you will not even know when you have reached your destination. Money is good.

elfmann:

Even someone u bought flight ticket for. Can get there and wipe ur history with them. It's crazy!

On an unrelated talk, how much is the medicals?

Its amazing how funny people can be.
110k

koolkesh:


That's great, congratulations to your friend. We would be waiting for the details.
.

Hi guys. Am sure you all would be wondering why i did not share my friend's interview experience. Its funny how life is. Someone that I know very well, we went to the same school. , to be frank when he started this immigration journey, he did not know jack about the process, cos he is not the type that reads to get information. He was always, Chatting with me, asking about how the process goes, and being the type of person I am, I am always willing to help. I even told him to get his NPC certificate, so as not to have any form of delay after interview. Up to the medicals hospital to use, he pinged me, I sent him the Addy. From start to finish of this journey, if he says i have not been of help to him, even God will be angry with him. And then just to share his experience at the embassy, he started behaving funny, just posting me. I didn't even bother to ask him again. Am just baffled. Imagine us on nairaland how we are so willing to give ppl info that can help, even when we don't know each other or haven't seen face to face. and then someone I know is keeping to himself becos he feels he has done his, and doesn't need anyones help anymore. Smh

Is like sliding into DMs is what is in Vogue right now. OK ooo. na Banky W and Adesua start am ooo

VisaOfficer:


Good afternoon,

For visa classes where derivatives may be added, it depends on where the file is. If the file is still with the National Visa Center, the principal applicant should contact them with the birth certificate of the child so they may add the child to the petition. If the file has already been sent to the consulate, the principal applicant should email the consulate with the same information on the child. At that time, they will also need to obtain a medical exam for the child, fill out a DS-260 biographical form, and be prepared to pay the fee for the new baby at the time of the interview. The baby will also need an international passport.

In terms of giving birth before or after an interview, if the baby is due before the principal applicant plans to travel, the baby will still require all the necessary documentation listed above in order to be issued a visa.

I hope this is helpful.

Regards,
VO

Thank you very much for the response V.O. One quick question sir. You mentioned that the baby will need a Ds 260 form as well, and due to the movement of the visa bulletin, its obvious our case would not be current until next year. If the case is with the consulate by then, how do we fill the ds260, cos its online. Will the baby's ds260 appear online under my case file once logged in, after the consulate has been notified? or is the form going to be filled at the embassy on the day of the interview. Really appreciate your response sir.

Oladeep:
U beat me to dis, I was about posting it. F1 moved by 1month 14days, F4 moved by 2weeks. omo! dis fiscal year kinda slow o!

Maybe cos the fiscal year is just starting. I believe it will improve as time goes on.

koolkesh:
Visa bulletin is out.

@ koolkesh, now I see why u were contacted. They knew that by the next visa bulletin, your case would be current. *thumbs up*

oyhinmhor01:
Hello House, please i have an issue that requires your swift advice.

I applied for b1 b2 visa in December 2016, i filled married as my status and entered my then fiance's name as my spouse(he already had his visa then). In Feb 2017, i attended the interview and my visa was issued. A month after, the relationship crashed. I got into another relationship in September with an Nigerian American citizen who came home in August, and immediately we did traditional marriage.

In Oct 2017, i travelled to meet him and we fixed our church wedding for Dec 9. One of our invited guests from Nigeria was delayed at the POE when she told them she was coming for my marriage. She was asked if i was married before and she said no. The US immigration people called my husband asked if i was married before and he said no. After series of scrutiny they allowed my in law entry.

We discussed this with the American pastor in our church and he said the wedding be cancelled that he can't join us together.

Please what do i do at this juncture. My passport and visa carry carry my parent name.

This is the reason why it is very bad to Lie on your application. The truth is always straight forward. But the lies always comes back to haunt the person. Honestly don't know the advice to give you. Maybe you should seek legal advice. The Irony of it all is "what you were looking for in sokoto, was all the while under the shokoto. " if only u had been patient, you wouldn't be here looking for a solution. Just get a lawyer. And come clean.

Pls ours is Oregun . who do we call to complain to.?? 4 streets Using one transformer . and the load on the transformer is too much because more houses are being built in the area. Instead of NEPA to find a lasting solution to it, they keep coming, changing wires and before you say jack Robinson, the light spoils again. Now, they came up with the idea of sharing light. 2days on, 1day off. Haba! In Ikeja again! But the Worst part is, even with their light sharing, as they removed 2streets yesterday, early this morning, the light went even lower than a candle light. This is so terrible.

God bless her home

Oladeep:
I think her PD is June...That's about 4 months...@Pretty16, am I right?

Missed it by just 1 month. . July

ttmacoy:
Same to you pretty16, how have you been?

The weather is getting colder oh, forecast -8 this week lol.

How long do you have left for your PD to be current?

Wow!. -8 when heat wan finish us for naija . it ain't easy. Honestly I don't know how long it takes. P.D is still July

Oladeep:
Wow!....congrats to your friend....I'm so happy for him. Our own good news are loading too...85% loading...lol

Amen. Like the sound of that

speechless

Hi guys. Am pleased to say that my friend's immigrant visa was approved. Details coming shortly @ Oladeep.

ttmacoy:

@ pretty16

It does happen and the interview date will fall in the next month when his PD will be due.

Same happened to me, I got my interview confirmation in the month before my PD was current but it was for early the next month when my PD would be current. They have insight into what PDs will be current next month and start scheduling interviews.

Oh that makes sense. Compliments of the season ttmacoy. Great to hear from u from time to time. How's the weather there? Hope not too cold?

Oladeep:
don't forget to gist us on how ur friend's interview went ooo!

I won't forget. I put him in my prayers as he must have gone in by now cos its early this morning. He said his not going with his phone so i guess it would be much later i will hear from him.

Oladeep:
U mean d guy got IL before his PD? That's a very rare case o. I guess that must have been a mistake cos one almost impossibly gets IL before PD. as per my attestation, I'm still chilling till like when my PD remains a month to be current, then I will go and get it. I still have 3months and some days to go for my PD to be current. I'm hopeful

At Oladeep. No mistake. Infact he is on here with us. You just quoted him above me. His handle is Koolkesh. Am thinking exactly what he said. The next bulletin might see him being current thats why he was contacted. Either that or the cue here in naija is not much. Any which way, our prayer is for them to move faster so at least by the new year we can join our loved ones. Whats your PD and where are they on the current bulletin of the F4? Who knows it might come earlier than the 3months you are anticipating.

Pls is it just me, are filling stations not selling fuel anymore? Is there a scarcity? In Ikeja area, and filling stations are not selling. Or is it every december fuel becomes scarce?. Are the filling stations deliberately hoarding fuel cos its painful to buy fuel at N145 and still experience scarcity.

koolkesh:
Hello, thanks for bringing this thread to my notice. I believe the January bulletin would be moving pass my PD (06 march 2011) so it might explain how I got my P4 letter early. Got my welcome letter in June, it has been a very long journey for me, I was initially under f2b till my Mum got her Citizenship which migrated me to F1.

I read through some of the subject discussed on this thread and I have a question on the birth certificate thingy. I also submitted the short local government BC and they asked for attestation of birth which I eventually did and sent to them, but I sent the original and I forgot to make a copy. Is there a way around this? As I keep reading we should bring along Originals and photocopy of our document. I would be glad if someone who has had an interview or someone who knows anyone who has done interview should shed more light on if I do not need the photocopy considering I sent them the original of my short BC and the attestation. (Bare in mind when they asked me to submit supporting document they also asked for Birth Certificate and it was the short one we submitted and I did not get a checklist).

Nice thread, very informative.

Hi koolkesh. Great to have you here. Looks like a lot of us under F1 category with PD 2011 got our welcome letter same time. My friend whose pd is Jan 2011 and interview date is tomorrow 5th of Dec. We both got our welcome letters the same day. 7th of June. But the pd differenciates everyone cos the earlier the P.D, the earlier the interview date.

All your Original documents will be given back to you. But you need to make the photocopies they requested for cos thats what they will package on your sealed documents that you will submit to the CBP at the Port of entry when u get to the U.S. so its important you go with all the photocopies of the documents you have. Including the photocopies of the originals with them. Cos they said if u don't come with photocopies, they will keep the originals. And if u have to make photocopies at the embassy, na your money go talk. LolzZZ.



Anyone with additional info that will help can chip in. I will also ask my friend when he comes back from his interview.

OmG. Pretty lady. In her last picture, she looked pregnant. Might have been death from pregnancy complications. When will these reduce in Africa. Lord have mercy. Lost my cousin last year, after she gave birth to her baby. Its so sad.
