I am sending it to NVC. My husband is in Nigeria. They just asked me to pay before dowloading the AOS form and then print it out and send it to them with all my information like taxes, payroll slipss and soo on. How long will it take them to send him an interview date back in nigeria after i send in the AOS form. Also is there anything else i should send in the package?

Usually the process from a green card holder takes from 2-5 years from the initial date of filing. When did you send your petition in originally ?

I am moving this topic to LPR filings as there is no AOS from tourist visa in question.

You've probably been waiting some time for the casefile to move into NVC, yes?

Good time to review NVC stuff - see

Please read all of the pages in those links, especially the bit about 'civil documents'.

Good Luck !

If u are filing a petition for ur husband to come to the US on a K3 visa, then it would take about 7 months (give or take) for ur husband's interview at Lagos.

The next stage after sending the form back to them would be for the petition to be approved or denied.(u may be interviewed before approval or denial back here) Its after the approval of the petition back here in the US that the documents would eventually be sent to Lagos for ur husbands interview(which is a real test!)

Duplicate thread moved from CR-1 forum to Bringing Family Members of PR to America forum so all of the information is in one location. Duplicate post removed. It isn't necessary or desirable to start more than one thread on the same topic.

You do know that K-3 visas are effectively 'dead' at NVC, yes?
