It's unfortunate you are caught up in the whole pandemic lock down issues. 

You would have to wait for them to get back to you.

Yes you will need a letter of consent from his mother and yes it will affect his visa approval.

What if you have a sole custody of a minor child that the father has never been responsible for and the court divorce judgement says the mother has full custody.

Do you still need a consent letter?

Kindly advise.

Did anyone get a call regarding this?

The good thing is they kept your passport, so don't worry too much. 

They did not keep my children's passport was returned to them and nothing since then.

There is nothing you can do. My children was placed on Administrative processing since Feb 2020 and we've been waiting since then. 

It's very frustrating.

This whole thing is the first thing on my mind when I wake up and the last thing on my mind before going to bed. They asked for additional information which we submitted in December 2020 and the last time they opened the case was on the 30th of December 2020. 

Just keep hope alive.

It will all end in praise.

@naturalgurl4, thank you for your response. We will keep emailing them. 

Good evening Everyone.

My children had their interview in Lagos Embassy early this year February 2020.

Both of them were placed on Administrative processing.

Their status has not changed since February.

We have tried to call the embassy on this number +234 1 460 3400 and the person we spoke to couldn't help us, she asked us to send an email to the email address I stated below. 

We have sent emails to this email address:- LagosIV@state.gov, we got no response at all. The lawyer we used also wrote and got no response. 

We also mailed support-nigeria@ustraveldocs.com hoping to at least get some information and got nothing.

Does anyone know the best medium to contact Lagos US embassy? Please kindly let me know. 

Also, has anyone placed on Administrative processing in IR-2 visa category early 2020 been contacted by the embassy? 

Thank you in anticipation of your help.

I would advise you to include one. 

When my children went for their interview in Lagos, my sister took them. We had a joint sponsor.

The VO asked my sister what the relationship between the sponsor is to me and my husband. 

She she answered him that she doesn't know and that I or my husband will be in the best position to answer that. 

If the person going for the interview can answer the question then there won't be need. If someone would be representing you, then include it.

They are still on AP since February 2020, no additional information was asked of them. 

This is a good platform where you can learn from other people's experience and be a step ahead in your preparations. All the best.

I think its showing refused to everyone. It might be a system glitch or something. I am little relieved now. 

I checked my daughter's update this morning and it shows Administrative processing, and 3rd of March as the last updated date. It later went to refuse.

I went to check my son's, and his last updated date was 21 of February. It also shows refused.

Just now, Alirazaa said:

I just asked a lawyer in NY and he said almost 15 people called him since morning and they all have there status refused.

Yes, both my children status also changed to refused. I am so heart broken now.

@ChidinmaFaith, you already have your interview date set by NVC. 

You don't have to book it yourself.

Can you please do an update after your interview. 

I wish you and household all the best.

@ Arewa, she is still on AP. Her case was last updated on the 25th which is the day after her interview.

My son had his interview on the 3rd of February. Both reading AP as of today.

Being in AP is so draining. Everything is at a stand still.

No whahala, if it is WAEC result they want, we will provide it. 

 

The most important thing is they should issue visas to us, the process is being a long time coming.

 

I pray for grace that breaks protocols over everyone of us. 🙏

 

Mr Olu, what is your daughter's status saying, AP? Or what?

Which one is waec result again? What is happening 

I was talking to my sister today about my daughter's interview and she actually mentioned that some people were in front of her were asked for WAEC results which agrees with this information.

Let's hope and wait for the Email which will require her to drop her passport soon. I have Faith... 

@ Arewa, I pray so too. Thank you for joining your faith with mine. We can move this mountain with Faith.

It has started. 

 

So she wasn't told if she was given/approved. Just the 221g paper? 

 

So the Administrative process is indefinite.

 

Wow oh wow.

@ Arewa, this is what was given to her today. 

She was not told she was approved.

Am feeling bad for her and my husband.. we r in the same boat 

@Binbin22, let's just keep hope alive. We've come too far to give up.

Listen to Moses Bliss - Too faithful. That song has been of great help since the ban news broke. 

I hope it helps you too.

I can’t even begin to imagine what she’s feeling right now. I’ll be praying that something positive happens for you family soon. 

@Nyema&Darrell, I appreciate that. Thank you. Amen.

This is really heart breaking!!! Oh God please intervene and make haste 

@Binbin22, Amen. 

Let's just be hopeful.

It's not my intention to make anyone feel bad. But that is what happened to my daughter today. It could just be peculiar to us.

Hopefully someone else would have a more positive outcome.

Let's not be dismayed. This phase will pass.

My sister took her. I'm in the US.

Sister -They asked her about my husband, how many times he's been married. How many years has he been in the US, how many children does he have, where is he from in Nigeria. 

Daughter- What my daughter's name is, her age, who the petitioner is, what does the petitioner do. 

My daughter then asked the counselor when she can go see her mummy, and he said he doesn't know. That was when she bursted into tears.

Hello guys,

 

Please let's know what happened at the embassy after your interview. We need a guide. My interview is on the 4th of March, 2020.

 

We need to share experiences and possible solution if any.

 

Thanks

 

My 13 year old had her IR-2 interview today 02/24/20 at Lagos embassy, she was given a white 221g paper, no other documentation was requested and was placed on administrative processing.

I hope people with different experience can share.
