ecomalchemisttt 221g can be very frustrating after the long wait from DQ to IL.

Best you have all documents in place such as AOS, PCC, birth certificate , I - 864.. etc

Yes, it can be very frustrating. I could then in 2022 when I was placed on AP but God worked things out for me in just a week after I resubmitted the requested document and then my visa was issued.

stacyadams:
oh okay. u sha don japa abi

No not yet

internationalman:


I had all documents in place yet I still entered istrative processing because of one very tiny little reason.

Actually its not a tiny reason, its only that way to you.
Although tax returns are standard they can ask for transcripts. It happened for me too. Its not about you its about the sponsor.

But what's the essence of the In-person document review if they couldn't tell me those tax returns were not going to be accepted at the interview proper. I personally asked the person that conducted it if all my documents were completed, he said yes and sealed everything up in an envelope and gave back to me to return on the interview day. Also, in the handout they gave to us it was clearly written tax returns or transcripts.


I live far away from Lagos and I have had to travel to Lagos on 5 different occasions since my interview letter was emailed to me. Imagine the risk of traveling Nigerian roads and having to lodge in a hotel all the time.

Well, I have submitted the IRS transcripts for the 3 most recent years and W2 as they demanded. Now begins another waiting game. This whole process is stressful and tiring.

The person doing the document check is not the Visa Officer.

Whatever the visa officer requests for at the interview is what they require at the time of the interview.

E.g none of the documents we at NVC stage include pictures of you and the petitioner.
Yet because at interviews Visa officers have asked applicants for such.most people bring these along in case they ask.

I rarely refuse IMMIGRANT VISAS, refusañs are usually if the relationship with the petitioner is not genuine or petitioner has ed even at that there are waivers.

Xontinu to have patience, people have waited 20yrs, 14yrs, 8yrs yet the person who is currently waiting 6months would still say this thing is tiring.


Just prepare to travel as soon as your port is ready that way you wont travel back. Take the flight from Lagos

Ok. Do you have any ideas on how long the wait time might be.

The visa they stamp on your port is valid for 6 months from the date of your medicals.

So they have to send to you before that visa expires.

You must be in the USA before that date expires.
Your petitioner also must be in the US as at when you enter as well. Very important.

If you're a praying person pray don't fret
