    I recently became a US citizen and need to file for my mom whom the consulate had denied Visa thrice for no reason. upon speaking to a lawyer whom I plan to use to help file. he said since my birth certificate is missing. Myself and my mom will have to take a DNA test and he advised we take it before applying so to reduce the chances of rejection which we'll still have to go back and take the test. I have a national population document and a court affidavit to prove my age but he said this will not fly with USCIS. Has anyone gone through similar circumstances and did you just go to any random medical laboratory to do the test? I'm in the US and my mum is in Nigeria. Please, advise.

    HI Koko,

    Although our filing was different (K-1),  it was the same National Population Document and Court affidavit that my husband used along with his baptismal certificate and it was accepted.  If you can get your baptismal certificate, it should help.  NB:  I didn't use a lawyer at allllll. 

     

    AOS after name change

    in Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from K1 and K3 Family Based Visas

    Posted

    I recently sent in the AOS for my husband (beneficiary) and when the NOA arrived I noticed it was addressed to him c/o me with my maiden name. I quickly called USCIS to find out why they used my maiden name. However, when I checked my duplicate AOS petition, I noticed that I filled out two lines with my maiden name by mistake. I was advised to write them a letter explaining it was a mistake and it was just a matter of getting used to filling our forms with my new surname. Our marriage certificate is included with the AOS so they will see my maiden and married name.

    ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING AFTER APPROVAL, HELP PLEASE!

    Good morning everyone! My fiance finally received a call from Embassy on Sept 29th, asking him to go and do his medical exam again because the one he submitted expired during the AP. When he picked up the results and took them to the embassy this morning, they now said they have a full list of interviews so he should return on Wednesday, after the public holidays next week. Things are looking better! Will keep you posted. We are in our sixth month of AP which is now over. Hallelujah!

    What have you been told when you contact the consulate? Have you guys also tried to go to the DHL office and see if your passport is there? Another member seemed to have been in the same boat, everytime they called the consulate, they were told the case was still in ap, but when her fiance went to the DHL office his visa was there waiting for him.

    My fiance had his interview April 1 and was told to go to DHL to pick up his package the following week. He went several times in the two weeks and received nothing. I checked the CEAC website which said we are in AP. We have also been checking the website: www.ustraveldocs.com/ng and there is nothing. Do you think it would be there even after getting a response saying:

    Passport Status : There is no status update available for the passport number submitted ?

    K1 approved but Administrative Processing ????

    My fiance had his interview on April 1, 2014 and was approved. they took his passport and asked him to return in 7 days for his passport. When he returned they said it wasn't ready yet. I checked the site only to find out that we are in AP. Today April 8th makes it exactly 4 months we are in AP, and this is well before the "glitch". So I would encourage you to be patient. US embassies advises that we do not make any flight plans until we receive the passport in hand. I pray you get through in the name of Jesus.

    Administrative Processing

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department's global database for issuing travel documents has crashed, resulting in major delays for potentially millions of people around the world waiting for U.S. passports and visas, officials said Wednesday.

    Unspecified glitches in the department's Consular Consolidated Database have resulted in "significant performance issues, including outages" in the processing of applications for passports, visas and reports of Americans born abroad since Saturday, spokeswoman Marie Harf said. She said the problem is worldwide and not specific to any particular country, citizenship document, or visa category.

    "We apologize to applicants and recognize this may cause hardship to applicants waiting on visas and passports. We are working to correct the issue as quickly as possible," she said.

    Harf said the problems with the database have resulted in an "extensive backlog" of applications, which has, in turn, hampered efforts to get the system fully back on line.

    It was not immediately clear how many people are affected, but two U.S. officials familiar with the situation said some 50,000 applicants were hit in one country alone. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly or identify the country.

    The database is the State Department's system of record and is used to approve, record and print visas and other documents to ensure that national security checks are conducted on applicants.
