    in Bringing Family Members of Permanent Residents to America

    Posted

    Hi everyone,

    It has been a while. My interview was on the 18th of February, 2016 and it went well. Our visas (our 4 month plus daughter and I) were approved.

    Here are the few details I would be able to give.

    First of all, i almost forgot my medical report. My sister gave it to me that morning just as we were getting ready to leave the house. So please and please, put all your documents together days before the interview. I was not in lagos until the evening before the interview and had to rely on my sister in getting the other documents ready.

    I got to the lagos embassy well before 6am. There were people in front of the embassy already. There were some vendors trying to put a lot of tension into others by saying things like, American embassy uses only passport where ladies wear no ear rings. some said we needed to drop our bags and the rest.

    For me, I was least concerned because I knew the rules, was carrying my baby and had a heavy bag to carry. Anyway, I received help with the bag from a kind lady who wad there for K1 visa interview. We were also asked to open our medical report during the second security check. They said sealed envelopes were not allowed into the Embassy.

    After all the security checks, I eventually got into the main embassy building by 8.56am. It took a while before I was called to the window where our documents were scanned. But the security officer was kind enough to offer the nursing mothers in the queue seats. When it was time for my documents to be scanned, the officer said before she attends to me, I needed to pay the $325 application fee for our daughter. Thank God, i was already informed so I had enough cash with me. I walked confidently to the cashier window and made the payment (N68250). The other nursing mother was apparently not aware. She had to go out of the embassy to go and get cash.

    After I made payment at the cashier window, I went back to the officer who was attending to me at window 17. A Nigerian lady and she filled my daughter's details into the system. She requested for my original birth certificate, international passport, police report, medical report and wedding certificate; baby girl's birth certificate, medical report, international passport and 2 passport photos each. Finally, she asked me for the number that I picked upon entry into the embassy and I told her B...

    She wrote on top of my file. She also told me to ask for my copy of the receipt I used in making payment for our daughter with the CO who would interview me.

    I went back to join the queue and in about 5 mins, I was given a seat. I settled in to feed my baby who was already hungry and before she could finish eating our number was called. I thought I was being called to take my finger prints only so I stood up and left our bag of evidences at our seat. A security guy had to help me bring it up to the window where I was being interviewed.

    To God be the glory, I walked up to the window where a middle aged friendly white woman was sitted, smiling and waiting.

    She asked me to place my left 4 fingers on the finger print scanner, followed by my right 4 fingers, 2 thumbs and another left 4 fingers to represent my baby's finger prints.

    Next she said I should raise up my right hand to take the oath. At that point, it dawned on me that my interview had started. I took the oath. Here are the questions I was asked.

    C.O: where did you meet your husband

    me: i replied

    C.O: When did we start dating.

    me: 2....

    C.O: When did we get married?

    me: 2.

    C.O: When was the last time he visited?

    me: I answered.and gave her the date

    C.O: We visited a certain country?

    Me: yes

    C.O: When was the visit?

    Me: i told her the time.

    C.O: It means my baby was born in a certain month

    Me: Yes

    C.O: Smiling, she said it means the baby was conceived on the trip.

    Me: yes.

    C.O: How did your husband go to the USA

    Me: told her.

    C.O: Where does he live?

    Me: told her.

    C.O: Where does he work?

    Me: told her.

    C.O: Did he school in the USA?

    Me: told her

    C.O: Well, everything looks good. Your visa is approved. Please pick it up in 10 days time. She said so smiling and bring out the courier form and told me about paying for the green card before we travel. The pictures my husband sent at NVC stage were returned to us including our passport photos.

    With joy in my heart, I requested for my personal copy of the payment receipt of our ds260 for my daughter.

    I left the embassy at 9.50am. The C.O did not request to see any evidences. During the interview, she was typing on her system and looking at other hard copy evidences with her. She also said my baby was cute. I replied her with a thank you and a big smile.

    Jesus Christ did it for us and I will forever remain grateful for His love, kindness, mercy, favour and grace.

    Thank you members of Visajourney. You all have been a great source of encouragement and help.

    God bless you all.

    I would still be around to read any comments or answer any questions. I would also be asking questions regarding point of entry.

    Hi my pd is october 27 2014. I'm still waiting for noa2. Yesterday my husband call to uscis and they told him not is normal. We.need to wait for answer in qtr days. Do you know why is this happening? ?

    GOD BLESS YOU ALL

    Hi adryt,

    It sincerely is not normal. You need to keep calling USCIS because you are yet to get to NVC stage which may take roughly 6 months.

    Be encouraged. God is your strength.

    Wow... Congrats Sis! so happy for you. I do not think NVC still has anything to do with your case.

    * Hope you already have an international passport and birth cert for your daughter, if not do that immediately.

    * US Embassy Nigeria already have your case with them so email them immediately so you can get a reply within 24 hours. Please make your case number the subject.

    Goodluck!

    Hardik and others

    Hi guys,

    I actually called nvc almost 24 hours ago to ask about the case we asked them to open again because of our daughter, We requested to speak with a supervisor but none was available. While we were still trying to squeeze out information from d representative, I told my hubby to ask him if an interview had been scheduled for my case.

    Then he said yes, the interview was actually just scheduled today.

    Interview date is 18th February, lagos, 7am.

    Pd 29th August 2014..

    first cc date was 29th September 2015.

    Thanks so much Anita79, if not for the (*170*25#) code, we may not have been able to call nvc from Nigeria.

    Thanks Nkkystel.

    I will keep calling Nvc n Nigerian embassy to know wat to expect n do regarding our darling princess.

    Congratulations to everyone who has received interview date for February.

    Hi Anita79,

    I just got off the phone with NVC 30 mins ago. The lady said we were transferred to a supervisor on 14th December but I could try calling the embassy to see if she could be added at the embassy during the interview. I requested to speak to a supervisor but none was available. I will call again. If not today then tomorrow.

    Thanks again,

    Hi Rain treasures.. I call from Nigeria using GLO sim.. It's 500 naira for 1hr30mins and I call at 1pm Nigerian time which is 7am over there... They pick quite early when you call at that time... Dial *170*25# after recharging. It's a better deal and it's validity is 1 month. I assume you're Nigerian.

    thanks Anita79, u are God sent. I am Nigerian n have a registered glo sim.God bless you mightily. I am certainly calling dem on Monday.

    thanks dear. We have called twice dis week and I will plead with my husband to call tomorrow because he can only reach dem in the mornings.

    thanks dear.

    my husband called them today. We r on supervisors review and it may take 42 days so dey. Because dey claim because our case is closed n already in the embassy.

    But I am trusting God for a miracle.

    We would keep calling next week.

    Is it possible to call dem here from Nigeria so I don't have to be waiting for my husband to make the call all time.

    Hi everyone, been following all our posts in recent times, though I have not been able to respond.

    My pd is 29th August 2014 n I am hoping to be current then.

    However, my case has been completed since early October but we requested that our case be reopened because of our daughter who was born recently.

    My husband mailed her birth certificate since November but till now no response. He called yesterday nvc n it seems we are under supervisors review.
