Hello, I am DQ (ending July 2023) with my PD current. I am EB3 visa category awaiting IL from Lagos, Nigeria US consulate.

Does anyone know where they are in the processing of employment visa in lagos? Facebook forums are mostly for family petition but I am employment petition.

If they are soon to be processing August 2023 IR in Lagos does that mean EB3 before then will also have been processed?

How big is the backlog and how long is the wait for EB3 in Lagos? I saw someone in another forum say IR is 8-12 months but this doesn't help understand the wait for EB visa.

Any help to above questions greatly appreciated.

Any N-400 filers from Seattle who are still waiting please gather here and share your timeline. I filed on 03/13/2024 and waiting.

Hello, my mother s I-130 got approved, and I just paid the Affidavit of Support & Title IV fees on the NVC website when I got the MNL case ID. I have noticed that on the name, they dropped my mom s middle name on the NVC website. For example, I put her full name in the I-130 as Maria Jane Diaz. I put Jane as her middle name.

My mom s passport has Maria Jane as her Given name. Her middle name is Gonzales (her maiden name), and her last name is Diaz

Now, I have a sister who has an EB3 visa pending. She told me that mom s middle name should have been Gonzales not Jane because my mom may have issue at her interview at the embassy.

Would this be an issue? Since, the I-130 only have Maria Jane Diaz, without her maiden name as middle name?

I have not submitted the DS260, yet. Should I just call NVC for clarification?

Thanks

hello. A few years ago I had surgery where part of my lower jaw was removed due to a benign tumor. The surgeon tried to do a reconstruction which went wrong, now I have the material exposed inside my mouth. without any problem thank God. I will soon have my appointment for the K1 visa but we have doubts about whether this would affect the officer's decision when giving me the visa. My fianc has health insurance through his employer since he will have to undergo jaw reconstruction.
than u.
