Anyone got updates on their IR5 for parents Priority date is August 2023 . Last message I received was Document Qualifed.. It’s almost 2 years now . This is ridiculous

Taal17:

I think you're fine. Since information on her application is correct.

I don't know what the queue is for Interview for IR. Since there's no visa limit it would happen sooner than later.

Thank you for your response.

Taal17:

Hmm
I think it should be 3 for both since it's they are not your current household but are ing.

Others can chime in

Thank you.

I have two questions,

So when I was filing dad’s application, the part that asked if anyone was going to be immigrating with him , I said yes which is mom. It then prompted me to fill in her details such as DOB . I made a silly mistake on her DOB under his application . I mistakenly added a year , for example instead of 1955, I input 1956.
Proceeded to email NVC about the mistake and requested for correction and I got this response below .

Note : All information on her own application is fine and correct .

Any suggestion on how I can get this corrected??

Secondly - do you have an idea of how long it takes NVC to call an immediate relative for an interview at the moment?
I looked into the visa bulletin and discovered that immediate relatives got nothing to do with visa bulletin.

Thank you.

Hello everyone -

I’m confused on part 5 of the Affidavit of form - I-864 . I’m currently filing for my parents and both have separate ing form.

On one persons , the household is 3 , for the second persons form , will the household be 4 since I already indicated that I’m sponsoring the first person or should I still keep it as 3 ?

Thank you.

What exactly are your questions on the documents? Ask here
Go to link provided..you have a lot of work to do. Follow the instructions via the link as you make payments how and where to will show up
The documents required would mostly be from your petitioner e.g Tax transcripts the latest one which would be 2023. Same W2 or 1099 depends on petitioner who is your sponsor work. It's part of their proof of income

Thank you for your response. I made the payment, filled out the form and ed the documents.

But I am a bit confused on which of the affidavit document I need to submit on the part below .

As a W2 worker - which of the “I”series document do I need to fill and submit.

Secondly , which other ing documents can I include ?

Thank you.

Good morning guys , Recently , my parents filing was approved and I am at this NVC stage . I was sent some informations that I don’t really understand.

I understood the part where I have to make some payments but I don’t really understood the document part . I would appreciate you guys contribution on this .

Attached are screenshots of an email I received this morning.

Hello guys , my parents got denied this morning - age 60&65

Second appointment, first was 2019

Why are you going to the USA ?
How many children do you have ?
Where is the rest of the children?
What’s your son’s address ?
What state ?
Are you retired ? Yes

Denied !!

Currently , they have a pending green card Application that’s lasted a year .. could that be the problem ?

Thank you.

Thanks a lot. Please when will I know the documents I will be required to submit. Is it before I go for the biometric or it's during the biometric I will just be told the extra documents required?

once you complete your form, you will see the documents requested for you to bring along to your biometrics ..

Aside that , the documents I listed are the default documents you will need for .

bimbaztryzzi:


Thanks a lot. Okay please:

1. what if you just finished school or NYSC and you are not currently employed?
2. Are all these documents requested for as mandatory. If not, please which are the mandatory requirements?

No they are not all mandatory . If you don’t have a job yet and you just finished school , just create a resume that includes NYSC PPA duties . You can also add your internship experience if you had any during your degree program. To me , I don’t think your resume really matters cos you don’t have upto 2 years study gap cos you claimed you just completed NYSC but it’s not a bad thing if you decide to add it.

Based on my case/profile .. The mandatory documents I submitted includes :

POF ( 28 days)
CAS LETTER
ISSION LETTER
NYSC CERTIFICATE
UNIVERSITY DEGREE CERTIFICATE
WAEC/NECO RESULT
UNIVERSITY UNOFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT

LETTER OF EXPLANATION ( this was because I had a previous refusal from Canada, last year , so i wrote a letter to explain why i decided to apply to UK Instead of reapplying to Canada).. if you don’t have a case like this , you don’t need to write it.

CANADA STUDY VISA REFUSAL LETTER
N.I.N CARD
INTERNATIONAL PORT DATA PAGE
MEDICALS ( Tuberculosis Test)

LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION From previous job ( since you not working yet , you can get this from anyone , church or mosque , past lecturers or your NYSC coordinator , basically just someone that has impacted you in one way or the other )

OFFER LETTER from new Job.

I think i added Birth certificate and Resume , I’m not sure 🤔.

But like the first person said , it depends on the individual. The documents you would be required to submit will be different from another person. So stating your case will help streamline better.

Dybaladaddy:


Is your application standard?

Yup

jedisco:


Nope. That's new

oh I see . That’s the one I was referring to. Hopefully they open it soon

jedisco:


Was introduced last year and I've not heard about it being closed

I thought you were referring to the caregiver route

NEROSKY:



Lol baba you won use disturbance wound dia papa, hope it was Visa Approved?

yes it was

jedisco:


Given your experience, it might also be worth considering the healthcare draw for the Canadian express entry. That could be done over a period whether in Nigeria or the UK

is it open?

SoledLotto:


Chief! Congratulations on your Visa. Can you share the "letter of explanation of why you were rejected".

mail: [email protected]

Thank you!

fluctuation of exchange rate at the time of Application which led to the generic email which states “ you don’t have enough fund is to cover your education “

Visa Alert!!!

Biometrics - May 23
Paid mail and call - June 12
UKVI Successful letter and Vsf collection letter - June 14

Thanks everyone!!

Did a paid mail and call today and this was the response I got. No email yet from UkVi and tracking is still stuck at DMC on TLS. Has anyone experienced this and how does the projected time and situation looks like ?

Thank you.

BettyO11:

Though this was for October intake last year. My brother paid priority and waited almost 2 months. He also did an interview before he got his visa and they never called his bank to ask. May yours not be so. I’m just giving a personal example in respect to your question. They may or may not call the bank.

Priority and almost 2 months .. wooow .. oga ooo

Dybaladaddy:


14 or 14 working days. No matter, waiting times is 15 working days so you shouldn’t be worried yet. Mine is now 23 working days.
Even my officer said they haven’t been ed; which begs the question, do they banks in all cases?

Infact it’s 15 working days if I add the end of today. Applied on May 23. I have been reading posts where visitors are getting fast approval . I should have just applied for priority cos this long wait is tiring. No single email from them since I applied. No NSF , no notification, nothing. Another thing I’m thinking is , could it be because I declared my previous Canadian student refusal ? . So many things just running through my mind .. All is well

I wonder why it’s taking so long to make decisions on student visa while visiting is getting fast decision. Today makes it the 14th day and no notification.

RodgersAkpafu:

leave Damilare alone
his ilk are a lost cause

the message is for those ghost readers and other people with discernment.

hmmm .. you guys should just let it go

Teamfrosh1201:


Please I sent you a mail.

I just responded.

Teamfrosh1201:


Is your resumption September too

Yes

Dybaladaddy:
Guys

It over 20 working days since my biometrics. Aside from the empty nsf I got the next day, I haven’t heard anything since. I have done three paid calls including today, still no decision. It was also escalated last week. It’s just tiring.
I thought the number of student visa applications have declined, hence waiting times should be lesser. It seems reverse is the case.
Please does anyone have an idea what might be the case?

mine is going to be 13 days today . I didn’t even receive a visa application confirmation email or any NSF. I completed NYSC in 2022 so I don’t have huge study gap either.

Out of curiosity , I had to just do a paid mail and all I got back within 5 minute was a generic email response.

The funny thing is, people that I know that did visiting visa got quick approval between 5-7 days.

Hello everyone , I'm a silent reader of this forum and i want to appreciate everyone for the great information's shared on this platform.
I applied on the 23rd of May and i didnt receive any application received confirmation email from the UKVI.
When i tracked in the TLS ..It states that my application has been transferred to the DMC.
I know ideally, it usually takes 15 days for the decision to be made but i am worried and i am currently on the 10th day .

Should i email the UKVI or give them a paid call?

Also i declared a past visa denial from Canada last year and i attached a letter of explanation of why i was rejected and decided not to re apply to Canada. Most people i have seen got thier visas in less than 10 days.. I am just worried. cry cry
