It's F4 Category.... There are people who got DQ in October 2019.... No interview yet.

Are you current? We dq in feb 2020 but are not current yet

linearity:


Use the Chart B, ‘ Dates for filing family sponsored Visa Application.

All F4 categories for Nigerians filed on or before Oct 1st, 2007 are now current...anyone whose PD is in this date range and have not received notifications from NVC to start sending in their documents, should call, email NVC or send a message to them from their website.

Chart A is final action dates.

You need to be current in chart A before you can get an interview date.. chart B is just to send document & complete all filings.

With the way things are going ( which is one week movement a month) it will take at least 24 months for October 2007 to become current

linearity:


Base on the March, 2021 visa bullention:
https://www.nairaland.com/3979737/nvc-processing-stage-u-family/116

Priority date for F4 category, filed on or before Oct. 1st, 2007 are not current....So, you are looking at 14 years and not 10 years any more!

Infact, count yourself lucky, if you were otherwise a Mexicans, you will be looking at 22 years wait periods....no wonder they are jumping the fence. The truth is, the wait time will only increase with time, because the more Nigerians that get immigrated to the US, the longer they increase the wait time, hence Indians, Mexicans and Phillipines have the longest wait time.

Nice explanation

2007 f4 is not current yet though

Thank you for your response. I think you're right. I've actually gotten a B1/B2 visa on this myself.
I was just thinking Studets visa is a more long term and tricky situation so I'm looking for people that have successfully done it.

Seen. I have a long term visa too & currently living In the USA. But the L1 us dual intent so guess that’s easier

Planner99:
Please does anyone here have experience with applying for a students visa while in NVC Processing? For example, getting a student visa while in NVC processing for F2B category with priority date about 1 year away.

Who knows about this kind of situation and prospects of student visa approval?

You can get any visa..

I got a b2 renewed multiple times and now an L1

You just need to show / demonstrate that you are not planning to be there illegally

Na... gave out a lot of stuff and sold a lot already as well.

Duuzsz:

Lol! There’s movement in the visa bulletin but let just hope things go back to normal.

It’s moving which is surprising with trumps proclamation and the fact that most of the embassies are closed

pls post the whatsapp group link
thanks

Hi all

I have my own used stroller and car seat to give out for free to a pregnant woman who can not afford it.

My preference is for someone that struggled to conceive, cuz I can relate.

Email me if you need it.

Pls if you can afford it, be morally guided to give chance to someone who may need it more than you do.

Thanks and safe delivery to all preggos

Taal17:


I believe you can you would have to inform NVC I suspect, no interview dates will be scheduled right now

Have you asked this on vj?

I’m not on vj... anyways with the retrogression there’s still time

Dq last week

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

uchetobi:


I sent email to every email for the fco.gov I could find on the internet.

Just got a response from Sheffield apologizing and saying they have reached out to VAC and guees what? Two mins later email for passport from TLS
So happy. Thanks all

Picked up my visa on Friday.

Funny thing is the school canceled the visit and re Imbursed all expenses.

Life sha

Yesterday’s worry may be completely irrelevant tomorrow.

Stay safe all

okikiabdu:


How long were you given to submit your passport?

One month

uchetobi:


Hi all,

So I have gotten response that they have escalated my case and will revert in 3 working weeks.

Thing is I don’t have three working weeks, if I miss the course I’m going for it will extend my graduation for a year.

I’m considering putting in a fresh application since my passport is with me and pay for expediated services. Maybe the 5 day visa thing.

If I go this route can I pursue a refund much later?

Pls don’t read and ignore
@justwise what do you think?

Hi all

I’m trying to renew my Uk visa which expires this month because I want to travel at the end of the month

I had to do the ‘keep your passport option’ because I needed my passport with me.

It’s been over three weeks with no contact from tls or the uk embassy To submit my passport i reaches out to them via the paid email enquires portal and was told a decision has been made on my application and further enquires were quite unhelpful.

Who has done this keep my passport route previously? It’s turning out to be more of a complication than any-other thing

Any advice on how to proceed?)

Did they bring up your F4 application during the interview at all?

In light of this work visa - this would probably be in your favour since the ban would affect your F4 progressing

Surprisingly no, it wasn’t brought up.

We have case complete and were just waiting for interview before the ban.

Although I addressed it in the form& explained how I won’t be in any country illegally for any reason.

It’s been a roller coaster of emotions, this February. we went from not caring about the work permit cuz green card was in the horizon, to caring, to worrying about the trump ban affecting it, to worrying about the F4 affecting our chances

ibe003:
but they have imposed strong conditions on non immigrant visa at point of entry they will issue the duration of stay if someone exceed the duration the person will face deportation. It’s like they want to start deporting Nigeria’s for visa overstays

Mine is a three year work visa, i am actually relocating.

Why should anyone overstay the given duration of stay in the first place?

Acousticlexi:
Hello, Please is anyone having an interview today?

I had an interview yesterday.

Although non - immigrant, we were worried the immigration ban may have an impact by thankfully not.

Keke123:
Hello all, am new here. My twin sister who is a US citizen decided to fill for me. Please how many years will this process take as at today. Tanks for your prompt response.

14 years

D. RETROGRESSION OF THE “REST OF WORLD” FAMILY FOURTH PREFERENCE FINAL ACTION DATE

As reported in item E of the January Visa Bulletin (number 37), the final action date for the “Rest of World” Family Fourth preference (F4) had been advanced at a very rapid pace during the past two years to generate the required level of demand. The dramatic increase in the level of applicant demand currently being received has required the retrogression of that final action date for the month of February. This has been done in an effort to hold number use within the annual numerical limitation. It is likely that this date will remain in effect for at least the next several months

Does this mean April 2007 is current ?

Ozzz:
@Uchetobi, Please which country is this? Australia ? Ireland?

Us

makylove101:
Hello @uchetobi. I believe that was what helped with mine. Maybe you should do the same if you do reapply. Also adding your children's school fees receipt might help. The truth is I can't really say what goes on with them when they are going through people's applications. I just decided to go all out with documentation when I applied. I didnt want to regret leaving out anything. I also chose a "not so popular" location but family friendly and opted for a very short trip(6 days). The "6 days" was mainly due to the small funds available at the time. So that was peculiar to my application. I will suggest you get your gcms notes first before reapplying though.

Thanks dear. You are right. Wasn’t planning to go with my kids hence I dint even think of that.

My circumstances has changed via residency in another country and I will be able to enter Canada freely next year which was why I was considering withdrawing my application but left it since I dint expect them to deny me

makylove101:
Sorry about that @Uchetobi. Kindly avail the documents you submitted for the house to offer an advice or two

Payslips - joint monthly salary of about 4m and twice that in savings (6 months bank statement)

Letter of intro from our companies - one is an American well known company with employment letters attached

Itenerary with details of the trips and budget
Flight reservation
Hotel reservation

Passport with over 18 countries visited and 4 trips this year.

Marriage certificate


A whole lot of documents really, can’t remember half of it.

P.s we also have American children and maybe should have emphasized that this was not a birth trip. We still had valid US visas hence I did not think to mention and emphasize this. We even have international hmo that covers all medical expenses in Canada & the world. dint attach this so the trip doesn’t look like it’s for its for birthing purposes.

Denied based on reason for travel which is tourism

Can’t remember the last time I got a visa Denial. Have a valid Uk, Us and schenghen visa.

This year alone been to three countries in Asia, Dubai and the Uk.

Oh well.

Tbabe11:


Who else was able to travel to the US with a pending petition and the reason for the travel? Kindly share, thank you

We did... we’v renewed tourist visa multiply and had two kids over there on medical visas.

When filling the form be truthful but also state your ties to Nigeria.. eg we had very good jobs and stated how much we earned in that column and emphasized there is no way we were going to abandon that to be illegal in the USA

mim1031:
Hello house,
Kindly advise me on what to do, the proposed processing date has passed and I haven’t received any update on review of eligibility. I sent a mail yesterday but no response yet and I intend to travel in 2 weeks time
I applied for a tourist visa, online application
Thanks for your help

I don’t have an email about commencement of eligibility either but when I log into the system I see that eligibility has started

Are you sure they send emails about this?
