I've misplaced for my first son, but the the 2nd is still with me. But I can demand for it from the hospital. They will give me cos they have their records.

Yes . I replied with Hi . have u received it?

elfmann:
Your kids have their records on the hospital card and if u still have urs, carry it along if not, it can only cost u more...

OK I will go to the hospital I use for my kids and ask them to help me reprint their records. Mine, I don't have ooo

elfmann:

Pls for those that go with foodstuffs, is crayfish allowed,? ,or they normally seize it

Guys pls can anyone answer this question. For medicals they said if you are coming in for medicals, that you should come along with passport photographs , a copy of your interview letter, and immunization records. What do they mean by immunization records.?? If u don't have immunization records will that stop them from doing your medicals??/ or how can one get the records. Those that have been tru this, pls make una come explain ooo.

Guess I will have to wait for d interview to avoid unnecessary spending. I believe since d VO has made it clear that those born prior to 1992 can tender any form of birth documentation then I believe no problem but e go pain me If they delay me further by asking me to provide NPC birth Attestation...

. No worry. E no go reach like that. Let's hope for the best.

Realistically I think reform is overdue with family based petitions.
Honestly F4 is ridiculous 20 years for some regions like Philippines
14 for others. With the slow pace of movement of f3 or f4 and the fact that the petition is invalid on death of petitioner it's not practical to continue the way it is.

Guess that was what former President Obama saw and said an executive reform was needed, but they didn't let him implement it.

elfmann:
I saw that.. At worst it is a delay.

Exactly.

ttmacoy:
Oh yeah not all but majority.

To be honest there is little reason to be homeless in America due to rent unless there are other compounding issues. There will always be cheaper areas which may not be ideal but will still be better than sleeping on the road. Unless there are underlying issues e.g. mental health or something else, if you are willing and able to work there is no reason to be homeless. You may not have you ideal job but I will rather stoop down and do a job I am overqualified for and move to a cheap area than sleep on the street.

There are also welfare programs for those who qualify e.g. section 8 albeit it benefits single mothers disproportionately more than men but it is also there to supplement rent. There is also the issue of divorce. You will be surprised to learn this is a significant cause of temporary homelessness for men as the wives end up with the home and kick the men out.

Thank you my brother. U have just said it. When you are willing and ready to work, I don't see why u should be homeless. An average hardworking Nigerian, who has had it tough in naija, cannot go to america and be homeless. Most Americans don't know the opportunities they have. Some lazy Black's don't even want to work. They rather live on welfare, foodstamps and all, cos they know their government takes care of them. Some would say why should they work when "Uncle sam"would take their money. So they rather sit and live off the money given to them from those that are working hard. And then start to envy Nigerian immigrants or other immigrants coming in, working hard, paying their taxes and living their American Dream.

Oladeep:
Yeah, I remember d VO then. She takes her time to answer questions to everyone satisfaction. Please check d screenshot I posted, what's ur opinion on d VO's response on the BC issue?

To be honest my brother. I really don't know maybe their style has changed. But the V.O said NPC issues birth certificate to those born after 1992. Those born before 1992 that I know that have gone for their immigrant visas used the attestation of birth from NPC. So the only way u can know is either u wait, during your interview if they collect your local government birth certificate, that's fine. But if they ask u to go get an attestation, hope it wouldn't be the latter though. Hate to say we told u so... Anyways just wait till your interview. Or if you know anyone who has recently gone for their interview, or going before u, you can find out from them which birth certificate they used.

elfmann:
I saw it and that was why I commented on it again. When I did mine, I was made to get an affidavit from court as I was born before 1992 and after 1992 doesn't have to. But I don't know if it has changed as Pretty 16th stated, it's either that VO doesn't know it is before 1992 or NPC folks do for everyone because of money.

My last advice to u is go to their office to find out if ur DOB is exempt.

Taking a hard look on his comment, NPC does for folks born after 1992 now and that's the acceptable one to them at the embassy.

@ elfmann, when did u do yours ??./ttmacoy said he didn't even know about it, until he was told during his interview to go get it, before he was issued visa.

elfmann:
When do u going by Trump-inspired snail pace, August 2007 pd F4 likely to get his? 2020 2021? Scary stuff!

Baba, I still believe u get that NPC-version of BC or at least u hear from the horse's mouth if it b4 or after 1992..

I agree with you elfmann. I think oladeep should get the NPC birth certificate, to avoid any form of delay, unless their pattern has changed cos change is a constant thing in life. I remember when the former V.O, back in 2014, told someone who asked a question about birth certificate to get an Npc , that its what the embassy recognizes. if you have been on nairaland for a while, you would know her. That was when nairaland travel section was so addictive. God bless that V.O wherever she is. Those that met her during their interview were lucky. The woman is just an amazing human being. Always answering question on peoples cases, even when she was out of the country on vacation, she will still respond to questions

Oladeep:
Honestly, cos d way d guy has been dishing out executive orders lately ehn!...They might have reduced d allocation of visa numbers for each fiscal years to frustrate d whole thing. Imagine F4 has only moved 2weeks in d past 7months and which has never happened before. Look at it dis way, Trump was sworn in January and by March, There has been little or no movement in d bulletin...Just thinking out loud though.

I just called my friend. He received his case complete email this morning . so happy for him. Which means he would be getting an email for an interview date maybe by next month. Cos his PD is 2nd of Jan and Nov bulletin is 22 of Jan

Wow.

Oladeep:
lol...Lawyer go chop nah...but regardless, ur friend will be contacted by NVC soonest if he had gotten a CC from them.

That's the issue. We got our welcome letter the same day. Although our priority date is 6months apart. I finished sending all my doca before him. His lawyer sent his around August. I just hope he would not require additional docs though, cos he has not gotten C.C yet.

Oladeep:
but d movement has been really really slow in d past couple of months o, abi na trump give dem order to frustrate d whole immigration process? cos i no trust that man at all...

Lolzzzz.

May his soul RIP.

This na real daredevil swing.

Wow! He was probably held up in traffic. That's why ppl should not be on the rail during traffic. I marvel when I see ppl do it.

Oladeep:
November visa bulletin
F1 moved by 1month, F4 moved by 2weeks

@ oladeep, just seeing it. F1 moved by a month. I thought it was F1 that moved by 2weeks. Just saw its F4.

Wow its out. Just 2 weeks. Wish its moved more than that though. This makes my friend current, cos his is in January. But na lawyer them carry their case give. Be like the lawyer dey slow things down. Cos the guy don tire for the matter. Still wondering why his mom didn't handle the filing herself.

jonjr023:
thanks all my brother got his greencard

just waiting to pickup from dhl
thanks again

Congrats.

All this African countries be hating on Nigerians sha. I still wonder why. ?

Born 3rd of October, died 3rd of October, on his birthday. Kai! What a life. Lord have mercy.

The mum looks really good.

boykas:
Thank you again.. What about form i-864, is it similar to. Form 130. And will I be in the united state within that 13 years or I will wait.. Thank u

Tell your sis to visit the website www.uscis.gov or she should go to homeland securities nearest to her. She will get all the information she needs about filing for you. Best of luck.

And as beautyaddy said. It takes 13years plus. But even if u get married, your wife and kids will go with you once you become current.
