My brother,s F2B priority date is coming up soon, May 21, 2005, My question is should he have heard something from the consu;late by now? Before retrogression he had completed the last paper with the Nigerian consulate and was waiting to be given an interview date by the consulate. knowing how mails and communication can be in Nigeria (unreliable) how do we find out (after his priority date) what his interview date is?

Is there anything we can do meanwhile in preparation, like document-wise. We had sent all papers including affidavite os finacial support before retrogression hit.

Thanks in advance and goodluck with your journey!

The bulletin has like 6days to catch up to your brother's PD. Usually by now you should have heard something from the NVC not the embassy about document intake or at least updating what they on file. Give NVC a call and hear what they tell you. They probably will need an updated affidavit of support and police certificate. Of course you could request to bring the current versions with him to the interview instead of mailing again to NVC.

Best wishes.

Just update. My brother did receive invite and had interview on June 14. No surprise they wanted DNA-evidence. My brother is currently scheduled to go back on July 8 for his sample collection. Then we wait for result and a second invite to hopefully get his Visa. Why they don't ask for DNA as part of evidence to bring in initially is what I don't get!
