Thank you for this I wish I knew earlier but we provided it all hope it will be enough

Hello all, My husband completed his interview on April 4 in Lagos. The CO mentioned he would have given him an approval but he needed a marriage certificate from the court. What we submitted to the uscis was a marriage certificate from the church and that is what he brought into the interview. So after some back I decided to travel back the following week and go to the ministry of interior in Ikoyi. We received an affidavit stating we were already married 2 years ago and a marriage certificate from the federal ministry of interior. My husband submitted it all with pictures. My question now is how did the uscis miss this? Did We take the right step? Why has our case updated 4 times without any change for the status Is that weird? Has this happened to anyone

Hello all, My husband had his interview today and he was refused due to the marriage certificate not being compliant. The same marriage certificate we used during the I-130 was not compliant. They told us we would need to get a certificate from the registry. The issue is I am not in the country to sign off on it. Would it be acceptable for me to sign digitally as I cannot make it back to Nigeria in time. Has anyone been in a similar situation. This is an urgent situation your feedback is very helpful

Yes He received all his required vaccines.

Thank you for this all they told him is they are mailing it out to consulate. He does not have history of drugs/dui or psych issues.

I understand that but do they give you a sgn you may need more?

Hello everyone, My husband just went to his medical exam all they told him is they will be sending the report to the consulate before his interview. Should We be worried or is He good to go. Regards, Valerie D

NVC told me to wait for them to schedule an appointment for me. So I am not sure the process at this point anymore.

2 years to get an interview date?

We have gotten to the step of approval for our application being DQ. For anyone who has a spouse from nigeria how long did it take for you to receive an interview date.

I think from what I read it includes countries you have lived for at least 6 months

Thank you I will tell him that. The timeline is not fully accurate based on the current processing time left.

I agree even in the processing time it is showing some months left so hopefully that means something. Do you see a processing time on yours?

To be a bit more proactive my husband was planning on getting his police certificate and medical certificate end of the year. My primary question is long are both certificates valid for. FYI He is currently abroad in Nigeria.

Thank you for the advice. We got further advice as well with some perspective, so I think it's best for Us to be a bit more patient.

I would also like to join this group

We also submitted wedding pictures with us and also family members and friends included. Also times We spent together on outings before we got married during our dating period. I also submitted flight tickets also flight tickets together. If your spouse as well has added you on any 401k or bills that is additional evidence. Hope this helps.

That is a great point I will also ask him if the program has a bit of flexibility in terms of being hybrid so he can leave. But possibly waiting for a decision for the I-130 would be best what do you think?

😁 The biggest benefit would be the ease of visiting. The flights back and forth from Nigeria to the US do take a toll.

Thank you for this advice as well. I think our best option is to act once We get the initial decision from I-130 which crossing fingers for end of the year

I did not think about that I will tell him to do this especially the police character certificate.

Thank you for the advice!!

Thank you for the advice!! No He has never been married before 😁 We are a young couple

So sorry for the mix up he is in nigeria waiting to come to the US. But wanted to apply for a student permit to go to school in Canada

He will be in Canada for his program which is a year and a half. It looks based on the processing time that I will receive feedback about the I-130 by end of year or early next year. So He does not know if He should start in Spring or defer his admission
