That's the same white slip I got, but mine was for joint sponsor and Medical bills but the admin processing wasn't ticked on mine... The consular officer told me after I send this docs, they'll review and ask for my passport.... My friend got the same letter as well and he submitted what they asked for the same day, 3days after he was called to submit his passport for visa issuance... I believe you r good, just send what they want

Thank you for sharing your experience and your friend's, I needed to read something like this. Thank you. Enjoy your weekend 🙂

That said, if the only issue is the birth certificate then I don't see a reason for refusal once that is provided

The only issue is the birth certificate, nothing else. Well, I hope and pray for the best. I will post an update as and when I get one. Again, thank you very much for your responses.

Normal. Administrative Processing covers all activity after the interview. In your case, it is awaiting documentation and then review. It may switch between a few different statuses a few more times (READY, APPLICATION RECEIVED, etc.).

Okay thank you. But I can't possibly be denied now after sending in the requested birth certificate, right?? I mean, it's just a birth certificate, right? Everything else looked good to me during the interview; divorce papers were the only documents he asked for and he kept them in our file; not chat or call logs, not photos etc.

UPDATE!!! 

I just checked our case on the ceac tracker and it changed to 'Administrative Processing'....is this a good or bad sign??

It's neither good nor bad IMO. Send what they requested then await further instructions. They likely will review the case for a while, then request the passport if they intend to issue the visa (they can request it with a refusal too...so don't read too much into that either).

Okay. I will send out the requested document Monday morning. Thank you and everyone for their comments. Hope alive 🙂

This is the paper I was given

What was said on the 221g concerning the passport if anything?

Nothing was said about passport. The consular officer just ticked 'submit original and a photocopy of birth certificate' and then wrote 'son' in front of it. That's all

Hello VJers, everything went well I believe, and I think the fact that my Fiancée is here and I went in with her Passport helped. I was issued a white paper - 221G I suppose? - to send my son's birth certificate. However, the consular officer returned my passport and he didn't say to send it back with the document requested, please what does this mean??

I did mine at the national population commission at their office at surulere Lagos and  it was still rejected.i want u to kindly advice 

I have no idea why they would reject it. I mean, it says on their website that they want the cert from NPC. Was it signed and stamped by either the Comptroller or Deputy Comptroller?

Is it possible to reschedule the interview for a sooner date? 

I am in the same boat. Case status says ready, police clearance certificate and medical exams done. Interview date is June 21... Having waited 3 years, it seems like June 21 is years away now. 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

I sent you a PM. Only acceptable birth certificate is the one issued by National Population Commission.

My people, please help 😥 I scheduled an interview appointment and the barcode on it shows Application ID from previous appointment. I cancelled and rescheduled, still same thing. 

I have filled out my DS160 but have not signed and submitted it yet.

How do I get the Application ID changed to the current one?

Should I have submitted application before scheduling interview?

How many times can I cancel appointment without losing my visa fee?? Please help ☹️

UPDATE: The issue has been resolved. Called the Consulate but the agent wasn't sure about his answers. Therefore, I hanged up and sent an email to the visa desk support, they responded under 30mins (THIRTY!) and sent me an updated interview appointment with correct Application ID. 

Thanks guys. Good luck to us all.

You are welcome

We have all been on this journey and didn't know which end was up when we started. If we can help one person with the start of their visa journey, a little always goes a long way  

Yes! Agreed completely. Again, thank you.

No I think you should submit the DS160 and ask your embassy to remove the old DS160 confirmation off of this appointment and not waste a whole cancellation.

Oh ok. I understand now. That's what I will do. Thank you

I have filled out my DS160 but have not signed and submitted it yet. - DS160 MUST BE COMPLETED, SIGNED AND SUBMITTED BEFORE SCHEDULING INTERVIEW WITH EMBASSY

How do I get the Application ID changed to the current one? - YOU CAN CALL THE EMBASSY FOR HELP WITH THIS; MAY OR MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE WITH NIGERIA'S EMBASSY

Should I have submitted application before scheduling interview? - YES, THAT IS THE MAIN REQUIREMENT

How many times can I cancel appointment without losing my visa fee?? Please help - YOU HAVE 3 CHANCES SO I SUGGEST CALLING THE EMBASSY BEFORE YOU MAKE MORE ATTEMPTS AT CANCELLING AND RESCHEDULING

Okay thank you. I have only cancelled once, I will wait till tomorrow to cancel again and then reschedule after submitting my DS160.

Appreciate the caps, too.... Lol

3 times.

Call the NVC and ask them to remove your old DS160 submission.

In order to schedule an interview you should have both ready status and have submitted the DS160 already.

3 times?? Thank you. I am relieved. So what I am thinking now:

a. I cancel the new appointment

b. Submit DS160

c. Reschedule appointment. 

What do you think?

I clicked on the calendar icon and did it that way and it worked for me 

Ugh! 😥 Neither worked. I will try again Monday evening.

When doing your  birthday did you use the alpha month (ie. March or July) instead of the numeric ?

I did the alpha month. I will try the numeric now.

Oh ok. Thank you. I am the principal applicant, I just really want to update my email address. I guess I should give it time and try again.

Very normal. I've been approved at my interview now and that site still says case received and I'm way on from that stage now. It's kinda like they aren't really keeping up. If you've got your NOA2 just crack on getting ready for the next stage because trust me this part goes  very quickly!

Congrats! 😊 

My I129F was approved Tuesday, got the notice in the mail Friday.

I tried to update my email on the NVC website but it kept saying 'Invalid Birthday' which is untrue. Did you have this experience? What should I do? Most importantly, NVC asks for attachments, do K1 Visa applicants have to attach documents?
