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

Neeta02:
Good day house. I dunno if I’m in the right thread. My sis who’s a US citizen filed petition for my dad last year, around the later part of the year. She got a mail some days back that they need concrete evidence to show that my dad is really her father, they said the birth certificate she submitted from census( dunno if that’s correct) was obtained when she was 28years, so they want a more concrete proof that she’s his daughter. Please what do you suggest we do? My dad is here in Nigeria, though he has visited US before.

Duuzsz:
Hello Neeta02, I guess they found something inappropriate about the details your sister submitted years back, probably a background check was done and the following might have been the cause:

1. The names on the documents she submitted as her father name does not match with name she’s trying to petition.

2. The date of birth might be the Issue as well, probably she reduce her age in the course of traveling or the father date of birth does not match, hence, a significant or insignificant age gap.

The list can go on and on, the main point is, they found something inappropriate with the documents she submitted which make them doubts her.

And the only solution is to opt for a DNA test ( the concrete proof they need). I know it’s expensive and time consuming but this is what your sister need to convince them. It will shut them up once it’s done.

For those who have had CR1 visa interview,
does it happen in a private room, or you have to stand faced between the little window where everyone can eavesdrop in your convo?

The website above is a UK website.

A friend (white Canadian) went to the UK for masters and worked as a nanny. This is not uncommon. The point is to not change the nanny life to what we do to house helps in Nigeria.

Don't become another example of immigrants who bring people from their countries to become, in the eyes of charities and the govt, slaves.

Like I said before, what you're offering is a good opportunity, especially if they can stay after studies. However, if you overdo it, if they are on call throughout the day, the amount they're supposed to be paid will quickly skyrocket. That 15,000 will begin to look like child's play.

Naira235:
thanks. I will hide the whole thing from my parents. Last born are always over pampered and most doesn't have what it takes to work for their family.

Naira235:
Hi Everyone,
I have been paying high money for childcare here in UK and its giving me a second thought. My husband is a medical doctor and I work as a nurse for half days in a week, so we don't have to work all day and time to be financially okay as this is our first child and she is just 8 months old.

I can only afford to sponsor one person for MSc and the person has to be assisting me in childcare as a compensation.

I have a younger sister whom I am 6 years older than, she is a graduate but not currently working. She is a spoilt child been the last born and I am the first born. I found it very difficult to control her as an elder sister while in Nigeria. She is a graduate, and she is tired of Nigeria, she is also a burden on my parents as she has been living and feeding on them. Most times I send them money she spends 80% of it for herself and she is been treated as a pet been last child. I am afraid I won't be able to control her as my sister when she comes over.

I have another lady, she was the daughter of my boss where I was learning Tailoring in Nigeria. She and her mother were so respectful and caring. They are very poor and have no support anywhere so I am thinking of inviting her over for her MSc abroad and to also be taking care of my child for few days in return for her school fees.
Note : that is aside from their 20 hours work per week allowed on their student visa, so they can also work and have money.

The childcare is just few days in a week from 8am to 2pm. And I am hopeful it won't affect their studies.

Who is the right person to invite? Please I need your advice . Thanks all

kamtrix:
Helll guys, please I'll like to know if it is advisable and feasible to apply for renewal of passport using the https://immigration.gov.ng/standard-passport/ website of Nigerian immigration service. The amount there is about 17k and their service seems to have improved. Pls I need experiences from those who have used it, thanks to everyone in advance.

Duuzsz:
Well, some country do insist on getting the home country police report, however, you can get someone to help you get it in Nigeria.

techsavy1:
Thank you for your response. The passport has not expired yet. It expires in November. Are you saying I just go ahead and get a new one now and have the one I submitted my documents with cancelled?

Best friends or closest friends as some people term it is quite normal in the life of 80% of world population, I had one too.

We grew up as teens together, matured as adults together, he came to our house always and ate all his meals with us. My mom was really nice to him when she was alive. He wore my clothes and never returned them. I did not ask because my parents always provided for me although they were average citizens.

Then the worst thing in my life happened. I lost both my parents within the space of four years.
Things turned downhill for me (orphans do suffer a lot.. Too much suffering for you to believe there is even God in heaven who takes care of the fatherless and motherless).

My friend travelled to an African country. He kept telling me to come over there to work that things are better there. I kept declining but after a year of constant pressure, I decided to man up, packed my bags and travelled to meet him.

Guess what? I did not stay up to 5 days with him!!!

His attitude changed by the second day, he yells at me at every given opportunity, from his best friend, I turned to his boy, the heat he was given me was so bad that when he leaves the house and he comes back, I get scared just by hearing his footsteps. I virtually turned to a nonentity to him. I had no money on me because the little I had left, he collected it when I arrived. I knew no one, I felt so miserable and alone and I started regretting why I left Nigeria.

On the fifth day ,I woke up early in the morning and shook him up. I don’t know what got into me (but I am glad it did), I told him I can’t stay with him anymore and I want to leave. He did not even feel bad about this, he did not think of the fact that I know nothing and nowhere in this country. He let me go.

I packed my bag amid tears and went into the street. Mind you, I had no one to call back in Nigeria... It was tough on me but as a naija guy and as God will have it, I did not spend even a night on the streets. I was shocked that a total stranger took me in, clothed and fed me. He taught me everything he knows. I worked for 6 months and was able to make 2 million Naira. This was like a dream to me (If you get money ehn, to praise God Dey sweet o)

I came back to Nigeria, rented an apartment, furnished it and continued working from here.

This so called best friend of mine saw my posts and pictures on Facebook and video called me to check on me (I guess his eyes did not believe what he was seeing) he asked me if I am in a hotel, I said no, I am in my apartment. He was shocked (me I nor keep any grudge against you) he told me he was coming to Nigeria and that I should please forgive him and forget everything that happened. I told him I can forgive but can’t forget.

What surprised me most are this exact words he said “my guy, if I come, na your house I go relax first abeg”

Now my fellow Nairalanders, I am asking, how should I go about this?

I have forgiven him but should I allow him into my home?

Acousticlexi:
When did they turn people back?

Acousticlexi:
Yes.. got the interview date but because of covid, they've postponed it once. They postponed it to june and even June is not looking feasible, because of the embassy closure. Would we have to redo the medical because they have been postponing?

Duuzsz:

Duuzsz:
Good afternoon all,

We got a letter from nvc stating my case number and invoice number. However my priority date is not yet current, was wondering should I go ahead with filling forms and submit supporting documents? If yes, how do I go about it, what’s the first step?

PS: My Pd is Nov 2014

LoneRanger28:
Sister if you have anything to add, please do. I'm feeling like I have nothing to live for. Everyday people are dieing, I have lost a few friends this year. I'm alive and thankful for the gift of life. But things are just not working out.

LewsTherin:
Exactly. This seems to be his only concern. "Let them not know I am a fornicator. Let them not know I am a liar and hypocrite"

uchetobi:
Dq last week

Do you know if the interview location can be transferred to the USA since we are already there?

granmurdafucker:
