Morning VJ Family,

 

I picked up my Visa just now.

 

This is a clip of how it looks and the proclamation equally waived.

Update tonight. God bless you all for your kind words and wishes.

 

Regards,

I guess to check my travel history.

Congratulations sis. I am happy for you. May it end well for us too. Eagerly waiting to read about your experience at the consulate. I wish you all the best.

Oh ok..your case "Final Action" PD is not current yet then, its at "1 July 06" now so its not worry time just yet.

U know there are basically 2 charts A & B for our family-based category on the bulletin;

Chart A. "FINAL ACTION DATES FOR FAMILY-SPONSORED PREFERENCE CASES"  is where u want to pay more attention. The petition will not have a visa number until your PD hits.

 

Chart B. "DATES FOR FILING FAMILY-SPONSORED VISA APPLICATIONS" is actually for the whole nvc fees pmt and documentation phase, then they'll still hold until your PD in "Chart A" is current.

And you guys are quick and lucky to have attained DQ now.

 

I hope this helped illuminate your concerns.

 

 

Yes very much. Thanks for explaining, i understand it better now. God bless you.

Oh that could be..

Its quite annoying especially after so many years in nvc waiting.

However do confirm yourself from the current visa bulletin(March)..here

Cheers..

Thank you so much. I just checked, her PD September 06 is still current. Wondering what could be the reason for the delay then if PD is current? Its been over 60 days now. ☹️☹️☹️☹️

Hi..thats a surprise because most people who got DQ in first week of January already have ILs.

What category is her visa petition?

F4 category. I am surprised at the delay as well. But someone mentioned to me that it might be because her PD is no more current. There has been some retrogression on PD chart recently.

My sister got DQ 17th December 2019, she is yet to get IL. And with this ban issue, may God help us all.

Hi guys, I'm new on this thread. My family will be having our interview on Monday and I will leave you to guess how we feel right now. But the question I really wanted to ask is this, I called the Embassy customer care lines at least twice since the ban was announced on the 31st and both times they said we shouldn't worry and that we should just attend our interviews yada yada yada. I wonder if it makes any sense to continue to string people along or 'manage' people that have spent so much time, emotions and resources over a process that exists by law and which just got torpedoed over a whim? Forgive me for this, but I'm really finding it difficult to wrap my head around that. So what happens to all the money spent if this happens? Also will there be legal grounds for redress or compensation? Sorry if this sounds extreme but shouldn't we also think ahead of the curb? #JustAsking

I can imagine how you feel right now. It's so sad and frustrating this is happening after years of waiting. I wish you and your family all the best at your interview on Monday. Pls keep us posted on how it goes.

you have applied for several family members?  right? 

may need these documents for each case 

not sure on this but am sure others will chime in and correct me if i am wrong

 

My sister (UC) applied F4 for me and my 2 younger ones. They have been DQ'd leaving only me. I am confused, don't know what NVC means by this new message.

My documents both financial and civil are showing "accepted" but NVC sent me a message to upload some of the already accepted documents again. I do not undestand how to go about this, am i to delete the previous accepted docs and re-upload it again or what? Or is this a form of delay on my case since my country Nigeria is amongst the newly banned countries on immigration? Pls, i would appreciate your responses so as to know the steps to take in going about this. Thank you.

  The Nigerian house has no influence on the US ban. 

Stop passing out negative vibes. Your comments have not been helpful. We are prayerful and hopeful that this ban would be lifted soon.

The issue will not be at the NVC.  It is at the consulate.

What i meant is since its NVC that schedules interview, i hope and pray they continue doing so.

You process along like normal.   Things can still change.   The co can also recommend a waiver at the interview.

Okay. Thanks so much. I just pray and hope that NVC will process already received cases like normal. 

Please, my country Nigeria has just been named alongside 4 other countries on Immigrant Visa Ban category. I am so worried right now as i don't know if this would affect my case that is already with NVC?

My sister (USC) filed (2005) for me and my 2 younger ones (F4). We got the NVC letter May 2019 that visa is now available for us, and we have been on it since then. I have also submitted my documents to NVC waiting to be documentarily qualified. My younger brother got his visa already, remaining me and my younger sister.

Please would this immigrant visa ban affect cases that are already in process at the NVC?  

Thank you as i await your responses.

For US your birthplace is your country, as long as the country doesn’t differ in different documents, don’t worry about such.

Okay. Thank you so much. I feel relieved reading this.

I am from Nigeria and correction of errors on passport is not easy, it requires a whole lot of money, processes and stress. It takes a while before another one is re-issued.

It is not a process i am actually looking forward to i must confess. 

So if it is not something i should worry about, i might as well let it slide.

No

 

 

Okay then. Thank you so much. I appreciate the timely response

Please house, i just discovered that there is "Place of Birth" error on my passport (although same country but different city) And i already sent copies of my civil documents to nvc before i discovered this error, all my other documents have my correct city of birth except my passport. Pls is this something i should worry about? Can this in any way affect my IV? Pls what can i do at this stage? I would appreciate your kind and useful responses. Thank you.

Yes it was approved long time ago and sent to National Visa Center in Portsmouth NH. 

I got a letter in 2009 from the NVC that Visa was not available to me at that time because of the back log of applications before mine. So i was given a priority date which is September 26th 2006. 

Now my priority date is current, according to the visa bulletin of May 2019 but i am yet to be contacted regarding same. 

Please help, my priority date is current but i am yet to be contacted by the NVC or anyone to start the process. How do i go about this please? Can i contact NVC myself and initiate the process? Thank you.

I think my priority date might be current. The chart in the visa bulletin for May 2019 shows for F4 - 1st October 2006. My priority date is 26th September 2006. Does that mean i would be contacted anytime from now? Because NVC has not contacted me yet. If my date is current and i have not gotten any notice from NVC, what should i do please? 

Also my sister filed for me and my 2 junior sisters in 2006. But now, i am married with two kids, how do i notify the NVC about these changes in my status? What documents do i need to send to them regarding my husband and children? Thank you as i await your responses.
