Hi everyone, does anyone know the correct email address to contact the Lagos consulate to request a change to an immigrant visa appointment due to medical reasons? I messaged them over a month ago to these two emails with no response. LagosIV@state.gov and Nigeria@usvisaappt.com. I also sent a case inquiry with NVC and haven t heard back either. Website given to reschedule doesn't work either.

Hello, can t really find this anywhere.

Got my 2yr GC 03/2023, expired 03/2025. Divorce finalized 06/2023. I have a solid set of proof for the marriage. Filed 751 01/2025. I still haven t heard anything.

Lost GC, got 551 stamp.

My question is that I recently got married to a USC and do I refile and restart AOS again based on this new marriage? or do I wait until I hear back re: 751?

Not sure if this is the correct forum, but none of the others seemed to match. I'm hoping to determine if anyone has tips on the US adoption process of a stepchild from the Philippines. Her father is absent, zero support or contact for 7 years. Mother has solo parent ID from PH government, but I predict that the US court system will want some form of affidavit or ruling from a court that awarded sole custody. If we must seek the father's permission, that could take years to locate him and likely pay him for that right. I'm hoping to learn what the mother will need to gather from the PH before she leaves in a few months.

K1 visa issued but has a stamp on it reading canceled without prejudice.

What does that mean. When she picked her passport she picked the yellow sealed envelope with it. We are confused.

Good afternoon!

My ex-husband and I filed the I-751 together in July 2023 and it's been pending ever since. Things didn't work out as our goals in life just changed too much, and we filed for divorce on good terms with no children in November 2024, which was finalized in April 2025.

The day I received the divorce degree, I immediately sent a letter with an official copy of the degree to the USCIS to notify them that I would like to change my case to a divorce waiver. I spoke to them on the phone after my USPS tracking indicated that it'd been delivered, just to make sure, and they confirmed that they received the documents.

My 5 year mark is coming up and I'll be able to apply early for N400 in July, meanwhile my I-751 is still pending and no action has been taken since receiving the original receipt + extension letter. I'm hoping for my I-751 to be pushed once I file for N400 like a lot of cases I've seen here, but my concern is that I haven't heard anything back from USCIS regarding my I-751 (no RFE either), and I don't want my I-751 to be potentially approved as a marriage-based case instead of a divorce waiver.

Should I be safe since the USCIS themselves did confirm that they received my request to change to a divorce waiver by mail and is this just something that will be brought up in the interview, or is it safer for me to wait to file N400 until after my I-751 is approved so I can be sure it was approved on basis of divorce?

I hope my question isn't too confusing!
