US Immigration from Nigeria

Please, I need timeline for IR-5 in Nigeria, I have been waiting for my Mum s interview since December 2020.

Hi Everyone,

I understand this topic had been raised in the past on this platform, but it was riddled with lots controversies. I will appreciate if the replies to my questions stays within the scope and not all the "should have", could have". Nonetheless, all perspective would be appreciated.

I will use my petition as a case study and hopefully, others would learn from the answers provided me. This is how it goes

1. Met my wife online and we talked and learnt about each other and family(dated) for 2 years before planning to meet

2. We have a large age gap of 18 years, I'm in my mid 30's Single, Never Married and never had a kid(can't anyways) and She's in her early 50's, Divorced with two kids.

3. After two years of constant communication, She flew down to meet the family and spent a week and three days because of the nature of her job

4. She flew down the following year and stayed a Month. During this time, we got married in a very small Registry ceremony attended by my immediate relative and siblings due to Covid

5. After weighing the option of where we would live, here or the U.S we decided to file after 8 months of Marriage.

6. In my petition, i filled "Unemployed" because i was a freelance Agriculturist and a content Producer with no register Company name. As the form required a company name if you filled Employed

7. Yes, I did put the money transfer slips of money she has sent into my Bank Account as part of financial comingling. She helps out sometimes but larger part was for the purchase of African dresses she loves. Trust me, everything in our package came from the advice here and lots of people specify nothing wrong in putting money transfer out

8. We are awaiting the approval of from USCIS which we front loaded with pictures and conversation proofs over the year.

NOW MY QUESTION:

Since i come from a third world country with its history, I will like to prepare ahead, so as to gather stronger proof to show this relationship is legitimate.

Going forward, what are the things we should do ahead? 1. She is going to change her LIfe insurance beneficiary to my name and 2. We are thinking of putting me on her tax return and i will like to be Educated on the best way we could go around this. What other things do you thing we should gather tp provide us strong evidence and she visits me Once every year except for last year due to inability to get a Visa.

N>B: I'm sorry for the Long write up. I just want to provide a full picture so i would be well advised. She's reading this too, smiles

Good day guys, please I love to know if the current I-864 form on USCIS website

is correct ?

On the part 5 of the form item 8 where the sponsor is suppose to add up the total number

of dependent, 1 has already been printed there which is suppose to be blank.

That part is really confusing because the total no of dependent on the sponsor part is

more than 1. With 1 already printed there by USCIS, how can one correct that.

I have attached the said part of the form.

Please does anyone have a link to the correct form that doesn't have the printed number?

Please note that the attached form is downloaded from USCIS website.

Hi guys

please I just wanted to know, if there is any implications of submitting the rfe without the original rfe paper..does it lead to outright dental?

Response please..

Hello fellow VJ. Please I need an advice. I and my Girlfriend(USC) haven t met in person due to the nature of her work (US army). We are planning to meet anytime this year but we don t know exact date. Is it advisable we both get married through Utah online marriage and wait until we finally meet and then apply for CR-1 or should we leave the online marriage until we meet?
