I honestly hope one wouldn't need to redo forms already uploaded I'm not sure what to tell the parent I'm helping right now Done, site is up. Thanks everyone |

Someone could beat you to the brink of death!!! You could land in the hospital!!! I lifted a woman with a broken face into my car, her kids crying, my son speechless.
My husband does not seem like he wants to let this go. He's an activist lol. Rightly so...your kid could have died as an aftermath of that man's anger |

yinksob002: Hello guys,
I noticed that the DS 160 confirmation no on my interview appointment sheet differs from the initial one obtained at the point of applying for dropbox renewal but the UID no remains the same. What do i need to do as my interview is less than a month from now.
Thanks Thats because you probably booked your appointment date before filling the DS 160 |

Santa2: @Taal17 I was made to understand that the schedule maintenance was to upload changes to the online forms that were meant to reflect changes to the immigration rule. However since the judge blocked those change, they are in limbo on how to revert back Do you think it will affect those who have already uploaded the current i864 form? I only had civic doc to upload before system maintenance kicked in. I honestly hope one wouldn't need to redo forms already uploaded I'm not sure what to tell the parent I'm helping right now |

So they didnt think it was necessary to fix all the alternative roads first, rather than put us ALL on lockdown for weeks and they are just on one lane. When they move to the other lanes nko? How long will we continue this?as if Ambode's case wasnt bad enough |

Santa2: Actually its not. Its not allowing to submit civic documents even though all documents have been uploaded. But I believe I have identified the problem. You can only submit civic documents when all the applicants and derivatives(accompanying members) have been uploaded. But in our case, we have had to remove children (my sibling & I) that have aged out. But the removal is not immediate, its currently showing "under review" from NVC(as shown in the screen shot). Please anyone been in this shoes before? Anyone remove someone not accompanying? I want to know how long it would take to be effected. By the way am filling the application for my parent under f4. Have you been able to log in to CEAC site? |
Travel › Re: At The NVC Processing Stage Of The U. S Family Based Preference Category. by Taal17: 9:57pm On Oct 14, 2019 |
Sigh,
CEAC site has been down since Friday night!! I cant upload anything...is this deliberate? I've tried using Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox browsers
They said there would be routine maintenance for 1 day on the 12th of October but this downtime started on the 11th and as at today it is still 'under maintenance'
Any implications for submissions after the 15th of October?
Its only one doc that was left to upload... |

Schwartz: Please i have a question, A friend is married to a US citizen. Her husband filed for her to come over. Due to marriage she will be a citizen. The plan is to file for her parents to join her. After which she or her parents will file for her siblings to come to the US. Some of which are married and well into their 30s. Question is: how can her parents get citizenship by virtue of thier daughter being one? Is it even possible? Also can she or her parents file for the rest of the siblings? What she has by marriage is a RESIDENCY card not a US PASSPORT that would make her a citizen. She still needs to meet the requirements of citizenship before getting a US passport. That can take a couple of years. Its when she gets that she can apply for parents and siblings and even that would take 2-15 years ( the shorter time being for parents whilst siblings up to 15years) So its a YES to your questions Search US FAMILY BASED MIGRATION |

toniauj: Greetings to the House:
Is(Are) there any person(s) that can provide my family with insights on how to proceed with my children's application.
They were granted visas in 2016 and i(their mom) was present at the interview where we expressed our intention to head to New Jersey to visit a family friend. This was in July. Co-incidentally, i was very busy with work and could not travel that year. The following year, i was granted an F1 visa and had to head out to graduate school. Their father was to take them that year and he was denied a visa...sadly and i was still in the US studying and so, their visas expired.
Currently, i am flexible enough to be able to fly in to pick them up for their vacation and so we applied for the drop box and in two weeks we received an email to pick up the passports and saw that we have been asked to show up for an interview. Honestly, i did not know when the drop box system became a gamble but we are determined to show up and the concern is that i do not know what documents to show up with other than my visa and study documentation.
At this point my husband will be appearing with them but with my documents. Will this impair their chances because he has been denied? Do we go with a bank statement? what are the documents required under the 221g section? Can they be penalized for not honoring their initial visas? They are both minors and travel is solely determined by me and their dad and our circumstances were not very convenient and favorable at the time.
Please can i get some view, opinions or advise? If you check the US website instructions on dropbox they have ALWAYS said you MAY be called for an interview so it is not unusual. The best you can assume is that they want to know if your kids are actually in Nigeria. Your kids would only be able to travel with either you or their dad since their dad doesn't have a visa in my opinion Im not sure how this new application will work unless you are around for their interview. So documents would have to show who's taking them to the US and how to prove they are coming back. My two cents |
