ErinO

Would love to grace ur big day if it's in Lagos ..looks like il be spending Xmas in Lagos away frm abuja as my interview is on the 27th. So let us knw d date.GOODLUCK!

Thanx it did. I asked a friend too and she said her husband wasn't asked for it when he went for his interview. So that helped tnx.

I guess il jus keep going through my folder of files or album to avoid being nervous cos I am rightnw even when my interview is miles away. If not what would one be staring at jus sitting there. I would even be more nervous mere looking at the people approved and turned down. Ghoshhhhh!

Do u knw of anyone who had to get another police report for their interview even after submitting one during NVC stage( but expired before interview). OR do u reckon I should have another one ready for my interview just incase I'm asked. I did call someone I knw at the police headquarters in Abuja, the guy asked me to bring the one I was issued so I can get a re-issue instead of paying for a fresh one but I told him its in the states(NVC) he then said well, il have to get a fresh new one. He didn't understand why I didn't make use of it before the 3months elapsed..guess he won't understand! Pls advice. Tnx

Hello ErinO! Did nvc tell you the exact day your document was shipped out to lagos? That way you can track it effectively... Well about changing interview date I would recommend sticking with the original date... God's time is the best! Goodluck dear

Thanx Dear. We have decided to stick to our original date. We were only told it would be sent off this week. So Hw do I track it? I mean Hw do I knw when it's in Lagos.tnx

Seriously!!! My date is December 27th and I emailed them asking for it to be brought to an earlier date but they emailed back saying my case is not in Lagos yet. Called NVC apparently it's on the way to Lagos . I think il jus stick to my original date. Whats ur original date? B4 it was moved to December 19thGOODLUCK

My interview is also in December, 27th. Also u need to state ur timeline so others can help u. GOODLUCK

GOODLUCK!

I went through a similar fiasco with my K-1 visa petition of my fiance from Lagos. It is a very bad embassy to work with. We were denied in Nov. of 2011, and have been fighting ever since. By the way- we never received anything that looks like the yellow page you have received. The only reason for denial we were ever given was to print at the top of our petition "FOR IMMIGRATION PURPOSES ONLY" . I contacted my attorney (who helped us file), 2 congressmen, 2 senators, the ombudsman in DC, the USCIS, the NVC, and anyone else we could think of that might be of some influence. No one at the NVC, OR USCIS knew what to tell me. Everytime i would ask a question, I would get a different answer. The embassy in Nigeria would not even answer their phone- it rang and rang- not even a voice mail (I got their number from the State website). Since we were getting no answers, (and were being told that they could not locate our paperwork, and could not therefore get a reopening of our case, or a re-interview,) and the time was quickly approaching that our validity period for USCIS was ending, I made an appointment to visit my local USCIS office in Boise Idaho. I took all of our proof, and information (which was not even looked at, at the interview,) to explain our situation, and ask for an extension of our validity period. I was treated rudely by the officer at the counter, and basically laughed at. He said he had no way to extend the expiration date, and told me I was welcome to get more forms and re-file. I found this sooo frustrating. If the embassy is sure that we are trying to "scam" the system, wont we still be "scamming" if we re-file? and- if we re-file and are approved, does that mean that they were wrong with their first denial, and they will refund our money? We have been together for almost 3 years, and it makes me sick that money is keeping us apart. In the world today, it is very easy to meet someone from another country, shouldn't the laws change to reflect an easier way to be with the one you love?? The system is broken. It needs fixed. I want to fix it, but I don't know where to start. I feel your pain, and I have felt it for many years, it never dies, until you are with the one you love. Best of luck to you, and if you find something that works, let me know.

I find this message very touching..pls be strong Gowon and Olaskween..I can imagine wht u guys r going thru.So so sorry. Gowon wud advice u to switch to CR1. Godbless u guys in the next step.

Ok guys thanx .Bigdog I think il heed ur advice. Dwheels my hubby is gonna keep calling them..cheers on that;)

I was approved in October,i will like to know how long it takes to be scheduled for an interview.

Do I need to contact the local embassy or not?

please I need your advice on this issue............

U need to update ur timeline as we don't knw Wht u applied for . Update us...cheers

Awesome! Congrats and have fun

Ok I sent an email to the American embassy Lagos to have an earlier date for my interview instead of the 27th December but I got this instead ,what does it mean???

Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, we have no records of this case in our system. Due to the large volume of applications, it may take some time before approved petitions are received and entered into the system. However, if you have been scheduled by NVC, we advised that you keep your schedule immigrant visa interview appointment.

Thanks for all the well wishes but it's a denial for us.

I am not clear yet on the full details but she's going to email me a "yellow" form that they gave her. In between sobbing I was able to hear that the CO had a concern about finances. I make more than the requirement , I submitted 3 years of taxes, employment letter, etc, so not sure what it is all about until I get a copy of the "yellow" form.

I do not wish the feeling that came over me when I heard the news on my worst enemy.

I am open to any and all suggestions on next steps. I am not giving up and will fight a good deliberate fight so I need your combined direction on how best to proceed. I am still in shock..

Thanks once again.

OMG!! I'm so sorry. speechless!! Why do these CO's toy with people's emotions!! Ghosh. Pls jus tke it easy..their r other options ok.God will make a way.GOODLUCK

GOODLUCK!!! It is well. just relax ur mind and keep praying. She will get it.
