You only get entry stamp on visa. Nothing else. You will need to print out the I-94 though for SSN and other applications.

Where did you get the Ds-3025 vaccination record that you submitted with your AOS package?

I brought it from Nigeria. Did my Medicals at Consultant Practice, Ikoyi and they gave me 2 packages: One sealed one for the embassy. And another (DS 3025 vaccination sheet and X-ray disk) one for me.

They said administrative reasons after I sent an email asking them to explain.

does anyone know how many certified copies of the marriage certificates we’ll need going forward? I was going to request 3 but wondering if I should get more. Thanks!

That’s pretty vague, I hope they give you more information as time progresses. I would check in with them periodically to see if there’s been any updates and if you can come in sooner.

You'll need one for AOS, one for "permanent residence" and one for Naturalization and you want one as a back up. Most return or only ask for a copy but just be on the safe side this is what is required.

Can I share somethings with you that I learned long ago about this process

• "the man with the gold makes the rules" and
• it will take as long as it will take 
• no one with any certainty can tell you when some process will be completed
• Your sense of urgency will never be equaled to what USCIS, NVC or your embassy demonstrates
• Lowering your expectations will make you a much more relaxed individual

 

Remember we are in a different time with a world Pandemic raging. Good luck on your journey

 

 

We need a little housekeeping on your end. Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline OR your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine their Embassy. The country that should be used is the country where the interview will take place.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

Once you finish that then return and you will see a flag in your profile. Select it and see what wonderful information will open up for you.

 

Thanks

Agree with @Greenbaum 4 copies of official documents is a good idea!  We have already "used" two copies of the marriage license.

I think that this information with the links will give you a better picture of what lye's ahead.

 

Scheduling the interview can take 1 to 3 months. Once you pay the $265 visa fee at GTB Bank, you can go online to schedule an appointment at www.ustraveldocs.com You can get the forms online at http://nigeria.usembassy.gov/immigrant_visa_forms.html No need to go to the consulate to pick up forms. Download forms if unexpired or get current versions of same forms. Email LagosIV@state.gov for your interview date.

Wet signatures are no longer required for I-134 for your Nigeria interview. You are able to send in scanned documents.

Don’t they accept photocopies? In Nigeria, it’s only one Marraige certificate that is given. How will they make another copy? When your spouse is not there to sign it too.

Hello! For those that have completed the AOS package and had to do diploma/degree equivalency evaluation, which company did you use? 

[Fumero 26]

Hi everyone, We filed our form I-129F in April, 2020, although we have our NOA1. We are waiting patiently for NOA2. I am currently based in Lagos Nigeria and my fiancé is a US citizen. It’s good to be in a platform like this with people from the same country sharing same goals and helping each other.

I look forward to learning from everyone who have successful  gone through this process and for those who are still in the process, I wish you all Goodluck.

[Fumero 26]

Any April, 2020 filer from Nigeria?
