Check the NIMC website for details of locations outside Nigeria, where you can get registered.

achu442:
Hello guys,

My nigga woman wants to marry him... She is in USA and he is in Nigeria.

What are the right steps to take?

Should he go to US or should she come to Nigeria?

How does the processing goes?

I need directions please. Thanks

Coquinoqui:
Good morning house, we Just received NOA1 after USCIS received our application 2nd Nov 2020. Please must you submit certificate of no marriage during interview? Note I have never been married

@Coquinoqui,

You can take along a Certificate of Bachelorhood (if you are a male) to your interview, though it's not compulsory.

Cheers!

daisydamsy:
Nor be small thing oh. The silence here is deafening. Haha. Someone should pls update us. Wassapun na? Lol

@daisydamsy,

Yeah, it's been pretty quiet in here.

It seems there are more activities currently within the Spousal Visa applications (CR-1 & IR-1), as compared to the K-1 Visa applications.

Let's see how it all plays out.

HaileyLuv:
Please can Someone remind me of why K1 visa interviews aren’t holding at the embassy? Is it the ban or the pandemic or what exactly please?? I need answers ���

@HaileyLuv,

No one really knows the answer. You just have to be patient until they start the interviews again.

Cheers!

dicsnemma:


I just checked my status and it has been updated to " New Card Is Being Produced"...

@dicsnemma,

Congrats on your approval.

Lookout for your Card in the mail.

nextlevel2222:


I had my interview too last week Thursday.... My case was approved but it hasn't been updated on their website till now, still on 'My interview was scheduled'. Has your own case status change on their website?

@nextlevel2222,

Congrats on your approval.

Don't worry about the case status changing online, that will come much later. Just be on the lookout for your Card.

[quote author=Coquinoqui post=95046959][/quote]

@Coquinoqui,

Yes, you can go along with the proof of been single as well.

Coquinoqui:
.

Yes k1 interview but am in Dakar Senegal my application will be sent here not Nigeria

@Coquinoqui,

Okay. I believe it's advisable to show them all the information in regards to any kids you have, including the child's birth certificate.

Also, you can take along your Bachelor's degree certificate. Make sure you also take along photocopies of all your original documents.

They will only view the originals and then you can give them the photocopies, if they wish to collect them.

Cheers!

Gudnexvincent01:
Hello guys!

How long will it take my boyfriend to get his visa after his biometrics appointment?

His appointment is on the 12th of next month, so will he have to remain in Atlanta Georgia until his visa is out?
Thanks

Hello Gudnexvincent01,

He should get that information from the officials, when he gets the Biometrics done. Many things have changed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Coquinoqui:
Good morning house. Pls for those of you that have kids even if you not filling for your child do you have to bring his/her birth certificate to the interview? Secondly as a single man never married do I have to bring bachelor certificate to the interview just in case?

Hello Coquinoqui,

Are you inquiring about the K-1 interview to be held in Lagos?

Novartis:


My fiancée is coming to Nigeria in January and we would be meeting for the first time. Would she file the petition and submit in the states before she comes or she will do it once she comes to Naija ?

Because I’m guessing she might need to attach our pictures snapped together in the petition ?

@Novartis,

She will file the petition when she returns back to the U.S.

Cheers!

modulus30:
Hello house. Please i need an urgent answer. Can a student visit his fiance in USA from the Uk and does it have implications to their ongoing k1 visa process. Secondly if he visits from UK at the end of his masters program in UK, are their chances of him continuing to leave in the US with the fiance if he desides not to go back to UK.

@modulus30,

Yes, he can visit his fiancee in the U.S.A., as long as he meets all the conditions necessary for a Visiting Visa.

Living in the U.S.A. after his Master's program will be dependent on the visa status he would have at that time.

Cheers!

Gudnexvincent01:


Yes! Been following this thread for a while now. Now he’s ready to visit but I want to know if the Nigerian Embassy in the US is open for visa application now. He keeps calling and gets no answer. Can he go ahead and apply online?

He should also monitor their websites and also check the OIS offices, depending on the State where he is resident. He should be able to get updates from these sources.

All the best!

Gudnexvincent01:


K1 visa

@Gudnexvincent01,

Alright then. So what's your question? And have you been able to read this Thread from the beginning?

Cheers!

Gudnexvincent01:



Somebody please help me out here.

@Gudnexvincent01,

What Visa Category are you planning to apply for?

folarinstr:
Pls do anyone know if americans can now visit nigeria and what are things to expect like is the 14 weeks isolation needed and others?
I await reliable answer, thanks

@folarinstr,

It seems the Nigerian Consulate in the USA just resumed their Visa-issuing services, for those who want to travel to Nigeria.

I also believe the current isolation period is 7 days and not 14 weeks, after arrival in Nigeria. There are also particular Airlines and other COVID-19 conditions to be met. ( Check the relevant Government websites for more info)

Any other person with more information can let us know here.

Cheers!

Vatod:

Thanks is there any other requirements, like financial stability and many other things

@Vatod,

You need to read this whole thread from the beginning and get more info about all these.

Vatod:

She don’t want to come to Nigeria because of the insecurity

@Vatod,

As Shakiratemma said, you need to reassure her of her safety. An alternative will be for both of you to meet in a nearby country like Ghana or even Togo, and probably stay there together for about a week. The choice is yours. You just have to plan accordingly.

Vatod:
is there any requirement the spouse should meet before filing?

@Vatod,

Yes, it's very good that you both meet before filing. It shows to a large extent that your relationship is on a good course.

Cheers!

tsinepa:
Who can put me through CR-1 visa process

@tsinepa,

I would suggest you go to the "Visa Journey" website and get more information.

You will be able to engage actively with those who are currently processing their CR-1 and IR-1.

Cheers!

folarinstr:


Are you really sure of this because the other person said yes, so im confused and want a sure answer, thanks

@folarinstr,

I would suggest you go to the "Visa Journey" website and get more information.

You will be able to engage actively with those who are currently processing their CR-1 and IR-1.

Cheers!

folarinstr:
Pls can nigerian apply for cr1 or ir1 visa?

@folarinstr,

Yes, any Nigerian can apply for CR-1 and IR-1. Just make sure you meet all the requirements and follow the rules.

Cheers!

Dutchleez:
Hey Guys!
To those going through AOS and the gurus in the house, what do ya’ll think about USCIS EAD new processing time. 28-37 months ain’t funny.

PD: April 20th

@Dutchleez,

I think that processing time is just for the books but the actual time of receiving the EAD will be much shorter.

Regards.

@dicsnemma,

Nice one.

Some people doing their AOS, have also been receiving their letters for scheduled interviews.

While a few people got their Green Cards without having an interview (they had their interviews waived).

All the best to everyone!

dicsnemma:
Hello everyone,

A quick update, so i got a mail from USCIS yesterday with a scheduled appointment next week for my bio-metrics. Hopefully my work permit comes few weeks after my capturing and bio. Wishing everyone reading this the very best and safety. Cheers

JayOkonkwo:
Good morning y'all, please do anybody has a concrete information if the US consulate is conducting one on one interview or any idea when they will start. Thanks

@JayOkonkwo,

There are currently no interviews been granted and no given dates as at when they will start.

But it seems when they start interviewing one-on-one, priority might be given for those who intend to travel on Student Visas, because most schools will resume for the Fall Semester by mid-August.

Other classes of Visas will definitely also have their attention.

Cheers!

Drenimarcus:
Hey guys, just an update, my I-145(aos) was updated today and it was approved without any interview.

K-1 Journey ends, Citizenship journey starts.

Goodluck guys!

Congrats!

I believe you meant Form I-485 and not I-145......

For everyone currently processing their Adjustment of Status (AOS), this story might be useful. Check the link below:

Attraction:
Its happening for real. You can confirm on visa journey. I think they re trying to avoid backlogs because of Covid19

@Attraction,

You are correct. I just read about two people on Visa Journey that recently got their Green Cards without doing an AOS interview.

Cheers!

Attraction:
Meanwhile some people who have done their AOS biometrics are getting green cards without interview. Covid19 is changing things. Seemed they went back to the previous format they had years ago. I pray this benefits us all! Stay safe pple!

@Attraction,

Are you sure about this?

If true, then that will be good. Do you by chance have the links to the website or further info about those who got their Green Cards without going for an interview?

Cheers!
