How long does it commonly take toprocess and receive our Medicals in Lagos Nigeria?

We were notified that the Embassy in Lagos booked our Document Review this coming October 14, 2025.

However, we managed to schedule an appointment at the preferred clinic on the 30th of September, leaving only a few days until our Document Review.

Is there any hope of obtaining our medicals in time?

Hi everyone,

working on an a application for my partner and I. We both live in Colombia currently. Where it asks for a mailing address can I put my parents address where I used to live and then click that it s different from my physical address? I m also wondering if I can include our lease in Colombia as evidence of a real marriage?

thanks!

my case status refused to ready after 601 approved when consulate send you instruction letter ?

Hello,

I ve been physically present in the United States for at least 913 days within the past five years. During this period, I also took a six-month trip abroad; however, I can provide a doctor s letter stating that I was advised not to travel during the COVID-19 period. As a result, from the time I returned from that trip, I have 820 days of physical presence in the U.S.

In short:

If counting the full five years and treating the six-month absence as an excused leave, I have more than 913 days in the U.S.

If counting only from the date I returned from that absence, I have 820 days.

I m seeking advice on whether I should apply now and include the doctor s letter with my application, or wait until I accumulate more days.

Thanks

Concerning providing financial evidence for the i-134 form,

I have my W2 for 2024 and 2023. On my 2024 W2, I thankfully made over the 125% Poverty Guidelines.

However, I did not made enough money on my W2 2023. Because I only worked half that year in 2023. Will this be an issue?
