Ooops, I didn't notice this part. How did he pass the visa interview in the embassy with his wife already dead?

But we have this:

Widow(er) With Pending or Approved Immigrant Petition

If you were married to a U.S. citizen who had filed Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative for you before he or she died, you do not need to file anything. The Form I-130 will be automatically converted to a Form I-360, Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant. If you have children (unmarried and under age 21), they may be included on the Form I-360 regardless of whether your deceased spouse had filed a petition for them.

To qualify, you must not have have been divorced or legally separated from the U.S. citizen at the time of death. Your eligibility to immigrate as a widow(er) ends if you have remarried.

It looks he could get visa anyway but he needed to tell to the embassy, his wife passed away

Hello vjiers members good evening to you all I need your advised on what to do concerning removing condition of my status I got married to an American citizen since November 12 2014 I went for my interview in Nigeria on march 24 2016 after my interview unfortunately my wife died of ovarian cancer on April 14 on June 7 2016 I got my visa I intended not to travel to united states again because the reason why I am traveling has passed away but the family members told me that they need me here for the burial ceremony and for me to pay my last respect to my wife before she will be buried so currently I am staying with family they are taking good care of me I have gotten a joy and I have also gotten my green card with my social security card so my question is this should I start removing the conditional on my status because I came under cr1 immigrants visa or should I have to wait till the 90 days prior to the end of my conditional to be remove thanks so much your contribution will be highly accepted

Please can somebody tell me how long it takes to file for citizenship if you came on a CR1 immigrants visa on 24th July 2014 and married a US citizen sometimes I get confused about this process

You are welcome thanks so much all vijer here is a place where things are fix where ever you become confused of what to do we understand that immigrants are privileges not a right thanks

Thanks so much every one I'm,sorry for not posting on time I went back to the office with my wife relative on Monday and we explain to the woman that I didn't need I-94 because I am a permanent resident with green card she told us if we are here to teach her her job the statement wanted to bring misunderstanding between her with my wife relative but she immediately realized her mistake and asked her fellow workers and admitted that she made a mistake everything went fine without requesting for the I-94 thanks so much all

So please what else did I need to get a driving license since I came in with my Nigeria driving license

Don't worry I have to go back there on Monday because I showed her my passport with the visa together with the stamp on the POE plus my social security card still she was talking about I-94 and I became confused and left the office I will meet her on Monday imagine some of them doesn't know their job still they are working in a government firm

Thanks so much because I was confused when I went for my states id and the lady was telling me to provide my I-94 number

As a permanent resident who came on CR1 immigrants visa should I need form I-94 for my record if I want to apply for states I.D Card and driving license and who is the person that need it because I was told that I need it for my I.D Card

You are welcome dear we suppose to be one another's keeper especially in a time like this I really know that it is not easy I know when I was passing through it thinking that it is not going to work but when I got my visa it was like a nightmare please don't hesitate to ask me any question or help I will try to if I am in position of doing that thanks so much I still wish you the best

My dear nyala I can see what you are passing through keep pressing forward and continue committing it in prayer you are going to overcome the circumstances I really understand what it means to be without your love ones we are here praying for you that sooner you are going to join us in united states I wish you the best please don't give up your miracle is on the way

Going to the embassy with your original marriage certificate is a must so ask your wife to send it to you ahead of time if you don't want the consular to ask you for the sending because that is going to take more of your time in your application process you must go with it

You are going to be approve dear but make sure that you took the second shot once you get your visa before traveling to united states it's doesn't matter when you take the second shot you can even take the second shot once on your arrival in united states I took my first shot before going to the interview and I was approved so I am planning to take my second shot before traveling good luck to you dear and always pray that God will perfect it to you thanks

Thanks so much for your explanation on this I am very happy for that

Please my v jer's I want you guys to put more light on what EAD mean should someone with CR1 immigrants visa type need this and if yes how can the person get it,should that be on a point of entry or once admitted in united states thanks

Don't bother yourself dear it is a network problem in their system mine did the same thing when I was trying to pay online it happens more than four times before it finally accepted the payment keep trying to make the transaction as long as the money has not deducted from your account thanks but if that continue buy a money order and send it by mail sometimes the problem is from their system

Thanks so much on your posts but I want to fix something there we as a human being supposed to be focus especially on individual characters not only on the country if you start searching you can find bad peoples in different part of every country in the world Nigeria is not worst in other countries in the world not mention a true relationship always comes with a focus not on a mindset if you're in a relationship and your opponent is cheating on you or taking advantage of you,you will know but some of us don't want to be focusing on what our friend just said they are desperately to marry because of sex or no one is talking to them,from that they lured themselves into trouble so dear let us be focus and exercise patience at the same time if you really want to know the truth marriage thanks so much Ebunoluwa and 3CHI for your insights

Thanks so much you have answered my question you are really a lucky boy indeed congrats once again and I wish both of you happy married life

I think you are asking about the applicant which is my wife. No they collected everything but her passport. She had her passport throughout the 8 months. The passport was collected after the approval. I hope I have answered your question well.

Hello everyone, thank you all for your support and prayers. My wife's cr1 visa was approved yesterday at the U.S Embassy in Ghana after 8 months of AP. My wife went for her interview on July 08, 2015 and was given 221g AP. Co said she was reviewing documents she will call after she's done but never called for over 8months. I got my congressman involved, did info pass but still didn't change anything. So I decided to go to Ghana myself. I went to the embassy at 1200 noon, we started going in at 1:00 pm. The security men said we cannot go in with bags anymore so we left them outside. The security men again told me I cannot go inside with my wife, I didn't argue or ask any questions I quietly joined the que behind my wife and went inside with her. Fortunately for us, The CO who was handling our case was at the counter at window three. She called my wife, I followed her to the window. As soon as she saw me she said oo wow so you came with her today and I said yes. She knows I'm in the military ( U.S. Navy ) so she asked where are you stationed? I answered, then she said wow so you are in the Washington DC area, I said yes.She asked my wife to excuse us so she can ask me some questions. The first thing she said is Mr. xxx we have a little problem here at this embassy that's why your case has been delayed. She said almost every DV lottery spouse from Ghana come back divorced and get married again so it makes us sense something fishy. I said wow that can be true but there are genuine cases or divorces. Co asked, when was your previous marriage? I answered. She asked when did I immigrate to the states, I answered. She asked when I join the military, I answered that too. She asked where my previous wife is and I answered. She also asked how are things going with your current wife? I said great. She asked how do you support your wife financially? I answered that too. She asked who arranged the marriage, I told her my parents did. She asked, is there any little xxx on the way? Meaning are we expecting any baby, I said that's what I'm hoping.She said well mr. xxxx we will go ahead and issue your wife's visa today you can call her back to the window. I just need an updated police and medical report because it's been a long time since the first interview. She you can bring it anytime from 1:00 pm going, Monday to Thursday. We brought it the third day, and she was like that was quick I said yes I can't wait to go back with her. She asked me when are you going back? I told her and she said come back the third day for your visa. When we left the place, my wife was like really, I never thought this lady was this nice, she never smiled when I went to the interview by myself. Thanks once again guys. But one thing Your presence counts a lot, I mean you the PETITIONER. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE.
