Treasureprince1:
I've been hearing so many scary things about the wrong type of birth certificate, please this is the birth certificate I have, is it the acceptable one at the US embassy or do I still need to get the attestation of birth stuff?

@Treasureprince
I was advised by National population commsion staff to get "Attestation of birth certificate" since I was born before 1992 .
So I have to go for the "Attestation of birth certificate instead of the small green birth certificate and then authenticated it at ministry of foreign affairs.

@legitbachelor/legitmarried D grin
Police report(certificate) and medicals done today,however my police certificate says its valid for 3months to travel... thought its always valid for 6months or a year ?is there something wrong with it or the normal thing written on every other certificate?kindly respond&shed light. thank you..

@Brownesugar, pls help me check out if the stamp on your police report is the same with mine cuz I didn't see anything like "Alagbo" cuz it was emphazied on the mail i got from the embassy to ensure it is done at Alagbo police station, only Lagos that I saw on it.
Though I did it through police command Abuja( they said they usually send it to Lagos after taking the finger prints for issuing the certificate.

Yes.

Use whichever means that will allow you produce any document when the CO requests for it. It's true that binding or stapling of documents is not allowed.

Not necessary. That document is not even compulsory. I will only advice those who feel the CO might doubt his or her singleness to do it, not everyone.

No.


@Legit, I really appreciate you. Thanks bro

What does she do for a living?
Show me pictures
Have you/fiancée ever been married before?
Do y’all have kids?

Visa approved

see hen,as far as I’m concerned,these things do not go how we’re told or what weve read,you’re not only been asked questions,you’re having a conversation with the C.O.even tho he asked these things,there were still some things he asked that I don’t remember and all the things that I did wahala to get,they were not asked for,he only asked for pictures and he didn’t even look At everything,just flipped through 4-5 of them and gave me 2 white papers.the interview didn’t Even take up to 4minutes

NB: Prayers work,please pray!!!

Congratulations Sukey

@legitbachelor

(1) Please what are the contents of " letter of marriage commitment " I am not aware of it. Does it need to be authenticated?

(2)Secondly, where can on get a certificate of bachelorhood? Does it need to be authenticated by any ministry or body?

(3) Does embassy accept "Attestation of birth certificate" by National population commission in place of birth certificate for those that don't have birth certificate?

(4) Thirdly, the instructions about the "chat log" is that it must not be printed via doc. I exported our WhatsApp chat history to my mail so I can print it, but unfortunately, it appears as a notepad ( .txt). What should I do?

(5) apart from screenshoting WhatsApp calls, is there another way one could have done that?

Please kindly respond!!!

That's what I was told not to worry.
Since the day you got a slot was on 5th of Nov, (as of 5th of Nov, your petition has not expired, that's what made it valid.

Had it been the calendar was closed till 21st of Dec 2019, and was opened on 22nd of Dec 2019, let say you picked 6th of January 2020 on that 22nd of Dec that the calendar was opened, then it means u picked an appointment date after your petition date has expired., that's what will make it invalid.

The way it is now, one has only one opportunity to proof he or she is qualified to get the visa at the interview day, cuz we can't reapply for an interview after this, unless the Consular officer extend the expiration of the petition form ( from what I understood, [ I stand to be corrected]



I dont knw if you understood it now? This was the way the Embassy explained it to me when I called them.

Thank you @study4life,didn't get your last two sentence well,despite how tough it is to get appointment i was able to book a appointment day for January 6th 2020 on the 5th of nov,my worry is the validity date on my petition which says valid till 21st dec 2019,should i not worry now since i got book the appointment before expiry date?thank you

I got a response from the Embassy today.
Their response is smiliar to what sharpman posted.

That their advise is that I should attend my interview as scheduled. During my interview, I have to present documents/evidence to the consular officer to show that I am qualified and justify for my petition to be extended.

In order for me to qualify for K1 visa, I must convinced the CO that my relationship with my fiancee is a bona fide one.

The decision for my petition to be extended be will be at the discretion of the CO

That I must be prepared, if I am not prepared for the interview, is unlikely that the CO will extend the petition..


My people that's their response

Yes the Embassy told me that the validity dates on the petition form is for securing an interview date. One must ensured that he or she secured an appointment while the petition is still valid. If ur petition form expired on 21st Dec 2019 , and it happens that you secured an interview date 20th of January 2020 on 22nd of Dec 2019 , it will be invalid cuz it was secured after the validity of ur approved petition.



Pls @studyforlife i have similar issue,i was able to see dates january 6th 2020 for my interview while my approved petition expires 21 dec,all effort to get dec dates proved abortive,i have written the embassy in lagos as regards this and was told would get a response in 5/7working days,pls can u give more indepth clarification as per what they told when u called ,that one must secure a date before expiration of petition and not necessary one to be interviewed before the date,pls shed more light as am worried and line to call@the embassy..thank you

When you filled your form, did you also fill previous work experience and school attended? I didn’t see that column in my form
Glorioussugar:


Were you able to rectify this issue? I called them and I just recieved an email, but the barcodes are still not the same


Yes it was rectified.. Were u asked to call out your DS-160 confirmation code? I hope what you called they heard it correctly? Cuz I ensure that I used A- for Apple, B- for ball to ensure they got it correctly when I was told to call out my confirmation code

You have to call them back tomorrow morning

Thanks everyone that assisted me.
I called the Embassy, I was told that the expiration date on the petition means that one must secured an interview date before the expiration date, that it doesn't mean that one must be interviewed before that date.
If anyone didn't secure any date before the expiration, the approval becomes invalid.

The Embassy also gave me CGI to call for correction of the mismatch between my Ds-160 form barcode and my appointment confirmation code. The CGI also corrected it and sent it to my mail of which I have printed.

Good morning all
I was able to scheduled a date
But my Ds 160 confirmation code is 10 digits which is different from the barcode on my appointment confirmation code which is the code on top of my profile account that appeared as the barcode ( which 8 digits I usually see at the top of my profile account when I login )

[quote author=LegitBachelor post=83772774]Go ahead and pick the available date asap.

To pick a date? But the approved petition would have expired by 2nd of January 2020 but available dates for interviews on the calender started from 8th of January 2020.

I dont knw if you understood the question? How can one pick a date when his petition has expired before the available dates on the calendar

Pls the elders in the house,
what is the way forward for someone whose approved K1 petition will expired by 2nd of January 2020 but the available dates for an interview appointment now is from 8th of January 2020? Can a date be given by the US embassy before the expiration date of the approved K1 petition?
