₦airaland Forum

Hi guys. How are u all doing? Compliments of the season. So i am on VJ. (Visa Journey forum) once in while i read through especially the F1 family based category. So imagine my surprise, Reading on the forum this morning, saw a Nigerian in the Forum, who just got him Interview letter yesterday and amazingly his his PD is March 2011, and the current PD is 1st Feb 2011. I was like wow! Which means they might not be following the bulletin, or the Cue in Nigeria is not much on the immigrant visa processing , who knows. Even the guy said he was surprised to receive his IL this soon. Hoping for speedy movements. @ Oladeep how are u doing? Hope u have gone to collect your NPC attestation of BC

A sad country where nothing work well.

She died of respiratory sickness.

Small sickness o.

To be honest, no sickness is small ooo. Its just the grace of God. U hear stories of people that complain of headache, and before u say jack robinson, they are gone. Even malaria. Its by his grace that we go through such, take drugs and we are ok. Some people are not that fortunate.

He's the Sun, She's the moon, while their future kids will be the stars. Pretty young couple. God bless their union.

Pls who has VIP tickets?. The first time i went for the program, it was a VIP ticket. Was really awesome in his presence.

God bless Adekunle for doing Nigeria proud. Not every Nigerian is a crook. There are good ppl in the midst of bad ones.

Didn't you notice that was the color of the wedding? The grooms men were on black and white suit, while the brides maids were on black gowns.

AbiaBoi:
Thanks Ma'am, really appreciate. I'll love to know the processes involved as have been doing some findings online and got to know about K1 Visa and i-130 form. Can u throw more light don this Ma.

K1 is fiancee visa. To be honest i just read about cases to be adequately informed. Our V.O officer on nairaland should answer your questions. Check the U.S immigration Visa ask a consular topic. He will help you with all the answers u need.

AbiaBoi:
US citizen Ma'am, I'll really love to know more about this..

.

Well your in luck. Since your spouse is a U.S citizen, you are under the immediate family category. Cr1. No such thing as waiting times for your category. Once your case has been Filed, and approved by Uscis it becomes current and NVC contacts you as soon as they receive ur case. Unlike we in family based categories, that takes years of waiting. Yours is within a time frame of months to 1year from start to finish.

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.

Happy Thanksgiving Sir.

@ Olatoki, i just saw your question on U.S immigration visa forum, and decided to help, just incase you are going for your medicals soon. My friend just went for his medicals 2weeks back and i was very particular about that part which says immunization records so i asked him if he was asked anything like that and he said no, that what was requested was 6 passport photogtaphs and his interview letter.

AbiaBoi:
HELLO HOUSE

I'LL LOVE TO KNOW HOW LONG ITS GONNA TAKE FOR A SPOUSE BASED VISA PD AND UNDER WHAT VISA CATEGORY DOES IT FALL UNDER....

Hello Abiaboi. What do you mean by spouse based visa PD.? Is your spouse a U.S citizen or a Permanent Residence?

VisaOfficer:
Good morning,

We appreciate your questions on the immigrant visa process in this forum and understand that questions will arise. We also recognize that the process can be stressful. However, please refrain from asking the same question multiple times. VO cannot check the forum every day. We do our best to answer the questions as quickly and as thoroughly as possible. Repeat questions will be removed from the forum.

Similarly, please refrain from using this forum for questions related to B1/B2 visas, F1 student visas, and other nonimmigrant visa classes. There are separate forums for these questions.

Regards,
VO

Good morning V.O., really appreciate the good work you are doing here sir. Got my case complete, in September, and we were told to wait 60days. My PD is July 2011 under F1 category. ( Unmarried children of U.S citizens). I have 2 kids and we informed NVC about it, so they were added to my case at the NVC stage, with all fees paid. My boyfriend and I have been living together since I had my first child. Am expecting my 3rd baby, although not planned, but as a Christian I believe every child is a blessing.

My question and concern sir is, when I have my baby who is not due to come until next year, how do I add my baby to my case, since we have already gotten case complete? Will I need to get an international passport for the "new born" what documents will be required? And how will we pay the Visa fee?

Then 2ndly, if I get my interview before giving birth, will I be asked to go give birth before coming for my visa, I asked this becos a lady told my mom that she was asked by the consular officer to go and give birth before coming back for her visa, that I might be told same thing, and my mom said but her category is different from mine and all cases are different as the lady was in the F2A category, and mine is F1. Would really appreciate your response on these. Thank you and have a great day

Oladeep:
Will surely do...can't stand any further delay...lol

I feel you bro. 2004 till now, no be moimoi.

chokey419:
the one from npc. The local govt one isnt acceptable to nvc.

@ Oladeep, u better go get your attestation of birth certificate before your interview ooo. To avoid any delay. Chokey419 has told you same thing we said.

chokey419:
Everything is gravy. Quick advice if you coming try to get an international drivers license, it will help alot.

Thanks bro. Will do

chokey419:
Hi, have you gotten a date yet?

Not yet bro. Case isn't current yet. Still July 2011. My friend that is Jan 2011 got a date for nextmonth. Current visa bulletin is Feb 2011. So am Still waiting. How are u adjusting to the weather and life generally? And hows ur mum?

Oladeep:
No interview till one's PD is current regardless if the processing exceeds a year or not.

Have u seen any that has exceeded 1year?. Within that time frame the case will become current. Otherwise NVC will not contact you. They normally estimate the time, thats why they contact ppl ahead of time.

elfmann:
OK... So NVC contacting one is part of the CC.

Like for instance lets say u get welcome letter from nvc this november to start filling forms and sending documents, it will not get to Nov of next year. U will get an interview date before november of next year. Everyone i have seen doing it, doesn't get to a year.. For instance even our fellow nairalander chokey419, who got his welcome letter september last year, despite the delay as he was given a Checklist to still submit an additional document, got his interview date for August of this year. So it took him 11months despite the delay. My friend who got his welcome letter in June finished the NVC processing and got his interview date for december. So he just spent 6months at the NVC stage.

elfmann:
OK... So NVC contacting one is part of the CC.

From the day you get the welcome letter from NVC, u start counting. Thats why they say u should contact nvc if u don't hear from them within a yr or if they don't hear from u under after 1year, u start the processing allover again, paying of the fees and all

Oladeep:
Naaah!...F1 used to be d fastest , dunno what's making it to move at snail pace lately... July 2011 PD should be current in d first quarter of next year. so many factors do affect d movement though.

I believe so too. I guess a lot of ppl opted out of F2b to F1 , due to fear of the unknown. F2b used to move faster than F1 when president Obama was on seat, but as soon as the new president took over those who opted to remain on F2b, started migrating to F1. Who knows. I was reading on VJ someone said too many people are applying and there are less workers to do the job. Like you said, a lot of factors could cause delay.

elfmann:
July 2011 on F1 could go into late 2018 to be current. My pal has resigned his fate to 2021..his pd is August 2007 on F4.

Don't think so, cos once NVC contacts u, they don't usually let it get to a yr, cos once it clocks a year, u start the process all over again. So they make sure ur processing from the nvc stage, to interview date doesn't exceed a year.

Oladeep:
My Sister na so we see am ooo!...my category moved by 17days. Slowly but surely...we shall get there.

Amen..

Oladeep:
@Pretty16...December visa bulletin

@ oladeep, just checked the visa bulletin now, entered nairaland and saw ur mention. Can't believe F1 only moved by 9days. This is the slowest pace ever. Did your category move??

40 and looking really good.

Godswillu:
You are not the first and you will not be the last.
All the same you did very well on stage.
Lot of love from one of your fan

True talk. I remember watching one beyonce's performance she was coming down the stairs in a dance performance. If u see the way she tripped, and tumbled down the stairs, that fall was enough to stop a show, but she got up and continued dancing, as if nothing happened.
