Hi Vj Fam, A friend of mine needs help,her hubby visa was denied in Lagos saying Petition its for immigration purpose only but they love each other and waiting and it been 4 months but now she got NOIR from USCIS on CRI-1 VISA and addressing the letter,she want to know how long it takes USCIS to re-affirmed after address NOIR...does anyone have been through this or have an idea of how long normally it takes USCIS to re-affirmed petition after NOIR? Normal time frame please?

The documents i mean is proof of bonafied marriage,my friend is asking this because he want to be sure if he sent the documents,if NVC will add his to his file sending to lagos because he has case completed already and interview date,so he want to know if it is possible for NVC to add more documents to his file after case completed and got interview date and not delay his process

Hi Vj ppl,A friend of mine is in CR1 visa process but he doesnt know much about nvc so he only send few documents during the stage NVC,he got his interview date last Fridat,2 days ago and it is 28 of Dec so that is 1 month and 18 days a long way to go so he ask if he can send it some documents to front load at NVC because he just got his interview date and his petition has not yet been send to lagos,so nvc can get the documents from him within 2 weeks before his petition sent to Lagos COnsulate for interview,he really want to do this because lagos embassy doent have time to check documents during interview so it is best to front load

He can send it directly to NVC by DHL or UPS from Nigeria to make fast delivery to NVC

can anyone advice if he should send the documents to NVC or not?

Thanks

Thanks alot everyone,yes i got some info too,that states they only keep name and DOB so they might not even ask about it and i have recollected what the consular office asked me then,she asked me twice...she says......( if i approved your visa how can you convince me that you will come back to Nigeria after your study ) and i answered yes because my dad has a place for me where i will be working after my study and she asked again and i gave the same answer...so she refused me basically because i didnt demonstrate well and wasnt married so she couldnt find any ties i might come back after my study so that was the reason she denied me,so i didnt lie about anything then before but late uncle filled the visa application forms but i couldnt remember if he filled it online or on paper and submittied at the embassy sorry i have been trying to remember it was about 13-14 years ago i applied....and as for my name middle name that changed,i was born as a muslim so my parent were using my muslim name for me which was Habeeb but there was a time i wanted to converted to christian in school but they wouldnt let me convert at home so when i was growing i decided to be using my other name which is Ayodeji as my middle name and not my muslim name anymore and as for my DOB i didnt have birth certificate initially as you know Nigeria system i was born at home so it was late my uncle that took me to passport office then and we obtained my passport so later when my mom told me my real birth i used it on my eletronic passport and dad sworn affidavit in high court and i obtain my new birth certificate at Nigerian National Population Ceusus,that was how exactly everything went,i told my wife everything already and she is coming for my interview,i will appreciate anymore knowledge that can be contributed....thanks alot everyone...i will say the truth and i hope i should be fine

Onye,Thanks alot,i will remain confident and consistent and say the truth if asked,confident is the key,so am confident,thanks again

Thanks alot Olomi..Truthfully i had help filling the forms because i was still young and i will say the truth but to my knowledge every information was truth but is there any place on USCIS or NVC forms that were asked if i have ever been refused a visa? am asking because i didnt see any place on the forms where they asked that including DS 230 form i filled they only asked if i ever been refused an enrty into the United States at port of entry and i said No because i have never been to the U.S port of entry...they didnt ask if i ever been refused a U.S visa? or maybe i didnt notice can anyone tell me if they have asked on any forms?....am only prepraring to say the truth during the interview if asked????????????????

Yomi

Thanks alot....i never wanted to lie,i am a truthful person and my word is my life...i would have disclose this in d2-230 form but they didnt ask if i have been refused a U.S visa if they asked i would have disclose it...and i dont think they ask during our 130 petition with the USCIS...does anyone knows what forms they will ask if i have ever been refused U.S visa? so i can say the truth?

It was an old passport then but now it is now new electronic passport...i will appreciate it they will know and what can i do before the interview?

Yes she is my wife,we got married whem she came to Nigeria so that is why she filled cr1 visa,and as for the previous application it was my only middle name that was different and my age and i am using diffrent electronic passport........can anyone please help me on what to do before my internivew? is there a way they will find out because i didnt do finger print? can i meet with the consular office to explain this before my interview....any help on what can be done,i dont want to be denied or put on administative review

We have good proof of bonafied marriage

WHAT CAN I DO?
