[quote author=LagosNIV post=42422362]If you need the passport to travel, you can request it, otherwise there is nothing wrong with this situation. The passport was retained to expedite your admin processing.[/quote

Thank you CO.
I will be waiting.

dear Vo,

i just finished with my interview today and was given aletter that my case will have to undergo Admin processing.

My question is that my Passport was not given back to me is that the normal thing? maybe the Consular officer forgot to give me back, why i am asking is because i don't stay in Lagos and will like to go back to my base tomorrow.
your reponse will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Dear vo,

please i will like someone to please asist me. NVC requested for police report, should i send a scan copy or the original one, and please im i to do another one for the interview?

Hello,

I want to ask if my original international passport is required for processing of police certificate.

Hello,

I was just tild that i have to do it in Lagos.

Plesse i will like to know how much is involved to get a pilice clearance.

Hello,

Please i need an urgent reply, my husband just called the NVC today to ask for the status of our case and they said what is remaining is the police report,

Please im not staying in Lagos, Can i get the police report in the location i am or must it be in Lagos and please can i send a scan copy.

Thank you.

Because at the time of my birth, it was only birth hospital certificate that was obtainable.

Please will the attestation of bith be accepted?

VisaOfficer:
You never had a government-issued birth certificate? May I ask why not?

I have a birth certificate issued by the hospital, but since it is not acceptable by the immigration that was why i got attestation of birth from the NPC.

VisaOfficer:
People born outside of Lagos should contact the local government that issued their original certificate directly and ask for a re-issued certificate, if they can't find their original birth certificate. If an attestation of birth is all you have, NVC may or may not have additional questions for you.

Please what about someone that is born outside Lagos? Because i just submitted attestation of birth to the NVC and i was not born in Lagos.

Thanks for the clarification![/quote]

Pleas how much is it, to enable me plan towards it.

Thank for the response.


[Qquote author=Titilayodeji13 post=37719642]

A police certificate can only be issued by lagos CID headquarters.

Tho the Abuja CID also do the police certificate but the send it to lagos, which means one have to wait for days before one can have it in Abuja but it is immediately issued in Lagos CID headquarters.[/quote]

Plsease how muxh is the fee for the police clearance/finger print card

Dear Vo,

Can police certificate be obtained at place of residence or must it be in Lagos?

Dear vo,

For my case AOS and tax documents have been sent to NVC, is there any need of bring it to the interview again?

VisaOfficer:
I'm glad this forum is helpful! The instructions to the AOS should remind the petitioner to send the most recent three years' worth of tax documents as well. And that should do it.

Good day Vo,

At what point are we to do a finger printing?

Will that be required during the interview?

If i have a police report from the police command of the location i stay, will there be need for finger print again.

Dear vo,

I wi like to know what are the bills we are expected to pay whenym out case get to the consulate here in Nigeria?

I was told we are going to pay for interview fee. How much is it and what other expenses should we be expecting? As i and my husband want to plan towards it.

Thank you.

Thank for the response. The visa will be issued by God's grace.

If your legal name is your married name, your husband should have used it when he filed the petition. But you can correct that when you fill out the online DS-260. The visa, if issued, will reflect the name in your passport.[/quote]

Dear vo,

Please i will like you to clear me on this, Our case is presently with the NVC. My husband filed in for me using my maiden name (i.e my father's name as surname) instead of my marriage name (which is his surname). And my passport is bearing my marriage name, hope that would not affect anything?

Dear vo,

What about declaration of age from the High Court, will that also be accepted.



[qquote author=VisaOfficer post=37100735]

Sorry, I should have been clearer. Yes, we accept attestations from NPC when they can't provide birth certificates and there is no other government-issued option. Hospital certificates are not acceptable.[/quote]

Dear Vo,

Please i have question bothering me concerning birthday certificate my case is at NVC at the moment and they will need my birth certificate soon, the one i had from birth is the one from the hospital but for this immgration purpose it was advised that i should get my certificate from NPC, the issue now is i cannot be given a birth certificate because i was born before the commencement of that commission so what they are going to issue me is an attestation letter.

The question is will that be accepted by NVC and the embassy?

Secondly since it is going to carry a recent date will that be an issue?

Thank you.



uote author=Akinsussy post=37027179]visa officer. during my immigrant visa processing.

Dear Vo,

I have been confused about this 30th September which is the end of you people fiscal year. Pls can u explain more on that? Will it affect our case that is not yet completed

Dear Vo,

NVC request for my finger print, can i do it where i am staying or must it be in a particular place in Lagos.

Thanks.

VisaOfficer:
It's possible that there was a technical problem with your fingerprints, and so we need to take them again. It's also possible that more than a year has passed since you last swore an oath in front of an officer, or that you've turned 14 since your last interview, and now we need your fingerprints before we can proceed with your case.

Dear Vo,

Having mentioned the bellow, does CR-1 have to look for priority date for the case to be current?

VisaOfficer:
Your priority date is the date that your petition was filed with USCIS. But as an IR2, you don't need to worry about your priority date. As soon as your petition is approved and your case is documentarily complete, it will be scheduled for the next available interview. Immediate Relative (IR) cases are always current -- no waiting period.

Dear Vo,

I can't open the Link you sent to me.

VisaOfficer:
You'll need to see one of our panel physicians for your medical paperwork. http://photos.state.gov/libraries/nigeria/487468/pdfs/PANELl_Phys_handout_Applicant.pdf has their contact information.

Hospital birth certificates aren't acceptable for immigration purposes, generally speaking. We prefer to see birth certificates issued by a government office, which in Nigeria typically means the NPC.

Dear VO, pls i will like to know if there is a particular hospital i can do my medicals, Secondly there was a post earlier that smone said you have to get an attestation from National Population Commission aside the usual birth certificate issued by hospital of birth, pls how true is it.

Thank you i await ur response.
