My wifes visa was approved with the Attestation of Birth

It's not as bad as people make it out to be. I married my wife at the registry on my first visit. Sent in my petition. Went back a second time for the traditional. From filing the petition to approval was 10 month. She is here with me now. Go the CR1 route.

Just call the facility in Abuja and let them know when the interview is. They will schedule her right away. If she doesn't have any vaccination records it's not a problem, but be prepared to pay for the required ones.

Go to the main police headquarters in your city. Bring your passport, 2 passport sized photos. I'm trying to remember but I think she paid around 12k. Since it is Nigeria bring a little bribe money.

4 to 8 weeks seems to be the average. One person posted they were NVC approved March 15, 2019 and are still waiting for an interview date. 

LOL. you quoted an old post. My wife was approved and is here with me now

My wife is coming and asked me about antibiotics. I told her they may take them unless she has a valid prescription from a doctor. We can't buy those without a prescription here in the U.S. I told her just make sure she declares them so she doesn't get in trouble.

Thank you so much, what do you think about buying airline ticket advance even when usisc told me to wait atleast 5days to pay the fee online or can I pay in person at the consulate?.... I miss my wife so much

Go ahead and buy your plane ticket

My wife and I. I didn't go there the first time with the intention of marrying her but to get engaged. I decided I didn't want to leave without making her my wife. So we got married. I only went one other time. It was our traditional wedding. My wife had her interview today and we were approved.

hey there , have you got a case complete from NVC or interview date yet ? thanks

yes

I hope not. I am 19 years older than my wife. We did do our traditional and paid the bride price on our last trip so I hope that helps.

Port Harcourt specifically. What is the best and cheapest option? Thank you

When was this? @Sparky223?

Any update @Michael1993?

one week ago

Interesting because I logged on the next day after receiving my case number and was able to pay both fees. I will say though it did not let me pay both fees at the same day. I paid the AOS fee and wasn't able to pay the IV fees until later in the day.

On my 2017 taxes I am shown as part owner of a small business. I gave up that ownership July of 2018. I wasn't planning on filing 2018 until April so I was planning on submitting the 2017 Taxes. As of right now I am no longer a business owner. Can I file the EZ form? How should I go about showing I am an employee and not an owner now? Thanks

hello, I am in the process of NVC now, please do you mind sharing that contact with me of the police officer , someone just told me its 30k to get it. I don't mind if you inbox me thanks

My wife did hers in Port Harcourt. 10k plus about 3k to actually get them to do their job.

we see that

and from what VJ members are writing (and many don't)

about 75 to 85 days from time cc and sent to embassy

ones completed in october and november were set to January interviews

4th quarter cc/   1st quarter of the year for interview

so much of this is not dependent on whether or not people can get supporting IRS documents from IRS for supporting income levels

there are other ways to support income but most high fraud countries do not accept them as readily as do "for say" European countries 

and Nigeria is high fraud

I'm really not that worried about the income part. I more that double the poverty level and have plenty of proof to support that. Like everyone else I'm just anxious to be together with my wife.

Looking at your timeline, you just paid one of the fees

you still have the AOS fee to pay and to fill out the I 864

then you will download the supporting documents to CEAC

right now many wait for the IRS to reopen so they can get IRS tax transcripts to support the I 864

so much of this depends on how fast you complete the NVC process

it is not when NVC receives the packet but when NVC sends it to embassy for interview

in Morocco the interview is scheduled at NVC level for CR1

it appears that a cc packet when approved one quarter can expect interview the next quarter or close to 75 to 85 days later (but this is Morocco)

Nigeria is about the same but none of us can really state it "for fact"

I understand I still have things to do but I'm just trying to gauge how long we will have to wait for an interview

Any idea how long it is taking to get an interview after NVC Case completion?

Can anyone tell me exactly what is needed. We are entering the NVC phase. Can it be done in Port Harcourt or does she have to go to Lagos? Thank you

Check out Jumia Travel. I found a good deal on there

Our case is moving over to the NVC stage. My wife has not got her passport with her name change yet. Can we submit her current one?
