tj28:
My interview was short as I did DNA a few years ago. He just asked 3 questions
He saw the DNA results in my folder and said he noticed I did DNA already. I said yes and then he asked
How long my mom has been in the us
When was the last time she came
Asked if I wanted him to upgrade me to F1 because he saw my mom's naturalization cert in my folder and I told him I opted out. He confirmed from me I wanted to retain the f2b and I said yes.
He then said visa approved.
My case is still showing administrative processing. Hopefully it will be issued this week.

The opt out approval is important as my sibling whose visa was approved like mine got a msg that he needs to pick his passport at DHL and return it when case is current. But we forwarded the email from Uscis Ghana this morning. We are praying they will see the mail before sending the passport back to DHL. We'll call tomorrow when they open. I don't know why they didn't write me abt that.

Omo see how I missed my f1 category without knowing there were other way out, anyway congrats bro, happy for you. I feel like crying now.

Oladeep:
Congrats Bro...I told u ur Visa is sure. I arrived US on Monday night. During my flight, whenever we go through turbulence, i quickly say my last prayers asking God to forgive my sins and to make heaven in case anything happens...lol...whenever I buy anything in dollars, I quickly do the conversion in naira and found out that it's way expensive. for example, when I was waiting for my connecting flight at Washington DC, I decided to buy a bottle of sprite for $2.49 and I was like sprite for naija na n100 o, if not say this people say no liquid should enter plane, I for don carry packs of it come...lol and again, maybe it's because it's at d airport, might be way cheaper at d mall...They collect tax on anything u buy or do which is %10. Again, my sleep has been irregular since I arrived. I feel very sleepy daytime here and wakes up in the middle of the night. As I'm typing this comment, I'm awake already when everybody is asleep...lol. Then there's longer day and shorter night too. 9pm, everywhere go still bright and clear and 5am morning go don come sharply. My street is as calm as a cemetery, no noise, everybody dey mind their business, I wonder how person go take make friends sef. Everybody rides nice cars and lives comfortably though there are few beggars and homeless people too who prefer to beg for money rather than work. U buy whatever u need at d mall, no street hawkers or roadside sellers. There are no heavy securities at the bank, u just walk into the bank as if u are walking into ur bedroom, d doors are always opened. The road network nko? top notch...Everything is just goddamn in order.

Thank God for save flight, you are finally with your family, am really happy for you and with time you will get use to their weather there and make friends.

Happy birthday in advance to your boy, may almighty God bless him and continue to keep him in good health in Jesus name Amen.

My sister no be here o, my first is 4 yrs, 2nd is 2yrs and am pregnant now, will be due very soon, wanted to have my baby abroad but was advised to have here and add the money to be spent for delivery there to our relocation saving as I call it. Since they will all become citizens after 5yrs.

[quote author=pretty16 post=68981558]I meant If it doesn't increase in the near future. [/quote

Elfmannisback:
Can u divorce and go back to F3 and remarry him later on? Just musing..

My priority date for f1 has passed, and after the long wait I don't think it will be wise for me to divorce.i actually thought about that yesterday when I saw pretty16 message, but it's better I just wait.

pretty16:
I don't think u will pay another fee. Just your spouse and kids . Fee is $325. Might increase in the near future.

Alright, thank you.

Hello everyone, please I have 2 question to ask, firstly since my dad filed for me under f1 and I later opt out to f3 when I went for my interview , will I pay another visa fee, or the visa fee will only be for my spouse and kids
Secondly how much is the visa fee?
Thanks

pretty16:
@tj28 and Stancima, I did not receive any letter from them that about the opt out, they just went ahead and sent the I. L . I guess I will just print out all my letters I wrote to both NVC and USCIS to request an Opt out, and take it with me on that day. Someone should pinch me ooo. The journey is almost at the finishing line.

Congratulations pretty16, am so happy for you and may almighty God perfect all he has started in Jesus name Amen. I pray I will share my own good news soon.

Oladeep:
Thanks my sister...Urs too will come.

Amen.

Oladeep:
Yeah...collected it today.

Wow, congratulations once more am so happy for you. Relocation things. Which state are you going?

bokohaman:
Ur PD might be current within a year.

I pray so, I don't really understand how it moves, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

Elfmannisback:
Chai.. Use ur PD to match what's on F3 now.

My PD is 6/6/2007 and presently they are on 1/5/2006.

Elfmannisback:
When will that turn be? Information is power.

I have waited 11yrs, am sure it will soon get to my turn.

Elfmannisback:
You shouldn't have caused the migration. Live with ur man, give birth and go quicker.

I didn't have the right information then, infact I was told it will only take 1year, but all is well we have no choice than to wait for our turn.

Wow you waited this long, how did you cope because am really getting impatient, all my family are in the states, although I go for vacation but it's not like been with them.

Oladeep:
It is not an easy wait at all but it's all joy at the end. Patience is virtue. Life na turn by turn.

Beautiful mummy�

jwinters:
Okay now, here is my picture. No mind my daughter, she is an introvert. She likes to keep to herself

Thank you.

Oladeep:
A file has been created for u and that's where d marriage cert they collected from u is and also serves as evidence that u are married which resulted to the change in your category. The informations about ur husband and kids are not needed as at that time, it will be needed when u start the pre-processing.

Although they just took my marriage certificate the last interview I went for, but they didn't collect my husband and kids information. I was just wondering when that will be submitted. Thanks for the help.

Oladeep:
U will be scheduled for an interview at the US embassy after ur priority date gets current.

Please what will the next step be when it becomes current?

Oladeep:
Thanks.

If am to count from my petition date then it 11years already and hopefully within a year or two I will be called for my interview, this group is wonderful, with all I have read it has given me hope and congratulations on your visa.

Oladeep:
The 11yrs starts counting from the day your petition was filed.

Wow, 11yrs MO Gbe, that is too long, but under f3 I see that the bulletin for July 2018 is 1 may 2006 and mine is 6/6 2007. Will it still take that long?

Oladeep:
Ur former category qualified u as unmarried which means u were not suppose to get married or else ur category changes to F3 which is for a married son/daughter of a US citizen and which takes longer time of about 11 years or more.

I was formally on the f2 category, I was called for my interview 4yrs ago and on getting there I let them know I was married and have a son now, I was asked if I wanted to go with my family and I said yes, I was handed a letter that said, congratulations, you are qualified for the visa but your case has changed to f3 and I should always check the visa bulletin to know when my priority date will be current. My priority date is 06/06/2007. Please can someone help me explain what they mean cos we have been waiting for a long time and I already have another child.

Good day VO,

My dad who is a US citizen filled for me under the F2 when I wasn't married, but when I was called for my interview, I was married with a son and I told the consuler I want to go with my family, my case was adjusted to f3 and was told it wasn't current yet. My priority date is June 2017 and up till now we haven't been called, not even to do their filing make any payment.
Please I would like clearity on d process flow.
