Goodday. 

I am a US citizen, i will like to fill a concurrent form 130/485 for my both parents.

Some years ago my dad change his last name due to some family reasons but we the children did not change our last name. They have been marriage traditionally for year before we the children was born but only went for Court wedding last year, so their marriage certificate has their new last name on it. Am about to filled for them, their last name on my birth certificate is different from their legal name now.

They both have an affidavit of the change of name... but i am confused if the affidavit will be accepted by USCIS.

Please any advice will be deeply appreciated.

NB: They have both visited me in the US two(2) time now.

Thanks

Please which is accepted by the lagos embassy.

Ok thanks pls more advice ans suggestions needed.

Goodday everyone, pls my interview is next month, i need all necessary advice to make my interview a success.

-Presently am not working, does it matter?

-What and what am i expecting the cc to ask me?

Pls am going to appreciate every advice, suggestions from everybody especially from my Nigerian brother's and sister's that have attended interview in Lagos.

Thanks

Thanks for all the response so far. what if instead of replying NVC in writing giving reasons why we can send another marriage certificate other than the one send already. the petitional (my wife) should come to Nigeria then we go to high court and do marriage declaration.

@ mimolicious, we on at NVC stage now for cr -1 visa. NVC is requesting for another marriage certificate that the one we submitted is from incorrect issuing authority. but the NVC rep i spoke to said we can write a letter stating reason why we don't have another marriage certificate.

we just received a checklist from NVC stating that the marriage certificate they received from us is from an incorrect issuing authority.

the marriage certificate we submitted is a church marriage/wedding certificate because we didn't do a court marriage. reason below

As at July 2014, my fiancee(now wife) file k-1 for me, ignorantly since we have to do a court marriage once i get to the state, we decided to go on with traditional / church marriage on October 2014. Unfortunately when i attended interview for k-1 February 2015 i was told since we have done the traditional / church marriage that i can't be issued a k -1 visa because the above marriage is legal in Nigeria. the CC advice we file r-1.

i called NVC and the rep was advising the Petitional write a letter stating we don't another marriage certificate with the above reason...

Please we have made serious mistakes we don't want to make one. Please advise.

just give it some time like a week from date of payment, similar thing happen to me too...

Thanks. Please for the AOS form, which is the right form for us to filled. we are using my father in law as a co-sponsor.

So in other words, I have to wait and pay the IV fee before sending the both package.

Thanks for your respond but how is it possible to send both package now without the IV fee Bar-coded cover sheet from payment portal because i think its mandatory to include it in the package.( that is you have to pay the require fee before you send package.

Hello guys

Going through all comments here has made me more confused, am at the NVC stage, just paid for AOS and have completed ds261. Now I don't know what to do next because I have not received the IV fee bill invoice, so I can pay for it then send both package to NVC. please advise

Thanks again but how is it possible to both package without the IV fee Bar-coded cover sheet from payment portal because it's mandatory to include it in the package. Please advise

@Neldreez. Please am also confused at this stage... what have you resolve to do?

Thanks for your respond, the AOS has appear PAID and the DS-261(choice of agent form) is completed already...

Please explain more for clarity.

When or how do I get IV fee bill and be allow to complete DS-260.

Good day, please advise me here. The AOS fee bill has being invoiced and paid for? Please how long will I wait for the IV fee bill to be invoiced,so that the can pay for it and send both package together with NVC.

OR since I have paid the AOS fee and all necessary documents filled, should be mail it to NVC while waiting forward the IV fee to be invoiced.

Thanks
