DQ'd is documentarily Qualified. That's when NVC has accepted all your documents and DQ'd you and put you in the Interview Queue. When were you DQ'd?

My bad I miss understand that's your PD Jan 24, 2021. What is your DQ date? u have no timeline so can't give you more info.

You are DQ'd you are fine. That's a glitch they have. IL's just went out DQ dates for 1st week of January 2021 so far. So now you are 15 month wait.

I just said check. If nothing is there nothing is there. Hopefully you will be scheduled be patient nothing you can do now but wait. Just keep eye on your email.

Good news everyone IL's going out. I see up to January 7, 2021 so far. Check your emails if you are January 2021 DQ please let us know and complete the form in my signature so I can update spreadsheet.

Check your email IL's just went out for Lagos right now I see all the way to DQ Jan 7, 2021

no police reports to obtain. Adjust status is pretty straight forward. They should file I-485, I-130, I-765, I-311, I-864, I-94. Wait for interview or RFE (Request for Evidence) to send in the Medical (I-693).

Should change to sent to Department of State Usually all happens within a week. Welcome letter from NVC usually comes in a few days to a week or so.

AP is not under the same timelines as regular interviews. You are in extended AP. If you feel you have a cut and dry case and no wahala you should file a WOM (Writ of Mandamus) cost about $4000. Or you can wait out the process. What was the AP about what documents were they needing to investigate.? Were you married before in Nigeria? How long was your Interview? what was asked for after interview? Has your wife contacted her Senator, Congressmen? What have ya'll done on your help to get a response? Contacting Lagos does nothing they do not take emails unless they sent you one.

Right now Ghana is in Aug/Sept 2020. So you have a wait of over 18 months. Hopefully it improves over time.

Welcome and Happy New month ya'll come on and tell us your DQ date fill out the form so people can stay informed and know what their embassies are doing.

New thread is up. Hopefully people start posting and telling us what's happening with their embassies.

Special Note: Different consulates or embassies have strict guidelines as to what type of bags/purses/cellphones etc can be carried in. And whether they provide any lockers (or not) for temp storage. As many travel from far away (by air/train/cars, one needs to specially know what they will not be able to take inside the consulate and where to store their personal belongings. Here are some FAQ and other tidbits that may be useful to you. Be sure to visit your countries portal and click on the Consular Information and also Consular reviews. FAQ How long after Documentarily Qualified (DQ'd) will I get an interview? With the worldwide pandemic this no longer is a timing thing. The embassies/NVC have been trying their best to fill in dates . There's no certain time any month. With F category being banned and now can be scheduled and K1's that were put aside backlogs for all embassies are great. So just watch your countries forum for DQ dates being scheduled and report back and keep us all up to date also Do I have to call for my interview date? You will get a Interview Letter when scheduled so just be sure to watch if you know they are scheduling for your DQ date. I need to change our interview date what do I do? Once you receive your interview date track your casefile. Call NVC ask when your casefile left. Then contact your embassy (email is best) and ask to be rescheduled later, earlier just ask. What do I need to bring to interview? When you receive your P4 Letter (Interview letter) it will have your personalized checklist of things to bring or not. It has been suggested because things have been lost between NVC and embassy to bring everything (Originals) to the interview so if they don't have at embassy you aren't delayed. It's up to you. It doesn't happen much but it does happen. How to expedite at NVC?

Same thing for the beneficiary. Second Paragraph: Reason/s for the expedite State the reason why your case needs to be expedited. Be specific.

You may be depressed now seeing doctor or therapist get a letter stating that.

For IR1/CR1 still in May 2020. Haven't seen any IL's for about 2 months now.

No that's not a fact you send it all together and in one packet. Just remember the right fees for the two packets. You do have the UI-765 and I-131 also correct. And as for the J1 expiring you are adjusting status married to a US Citizen so if there is any overstay it is forgiven. But still file as soon as you can. Here's the link to look up where to seen your packet. https://www.uscis.gov/forms/all-forms/direct-filing-addresses-for-form-i-485-application-to-register-permanent-residence-or-adjust-status

do that now and at POE.

At the POE he tells the Immigration officer to update his address. Also submit now to USCIS the correct address. https://www.uscis.gov/addresschange

if u already have u already have it doesn't really matter. But yes online well at least to be is seamless and everything is there. But keep ur packet together.

so u aren't filing online u sending in the form? The question for Adjustment of Status is 61a and 61b. For consulate interview is 62a, 62b, 62c. Note: so much easier to file online you get receipt # immediately can print and send that with your AOS package.

You got the message where? On ceac on your status? Your documents wouldn't be up for review yet they are just on March 9th. You just have to wait until your documents are reviewed.

Congratulations on the DQ I have added you to the spreadsheet.

I was addressing what you said you needed for interview. Copy of Petitioners biopage is not needed. Everything uploaded at NVC you bring originals of beneficiaries documents copies of financials from petitioner. Updated evidence if desired.

all u need is copies of i864 and your tax transcripts to be prepared. Your passport biopage is not needed at all. Copy of ur previous divorces I would have also and any updated evidence since filing your petition for interview.

This is new territory for us all. I know of many WOM done but for long AP and denials. You are the first I have seen actually filed to get an interview. I am surprised it's taking so long but that's because they are fighting you. Normally the body of government you are suing just gives in and within 60 days things move. You are in court in the hands of the legal system which now there is no time line so no way to advise when and how. Sorry. wishing you the best.

If you live together here then you are adjusting status correct? You will put the address you live together now since you live in US now and will be adjusting status be sure to correctly fill out that section that you are adjusting not consulate interview.
