Hello. Don’t know if this is the right place for my question but I need help. So for the police report does it have to be done in Lagos only or any state in Nigeria?

I got my Case # from NVC yesterday, then i went ahead and filled out DS-160 and was given a confirmation code, then i proceeded to schedule an interview appointment and i was given an appointment confirmation code that i had used for a B1/B2 visa in the past, the website say the DS-160 confirmation code must match with appointment confirmation code, has anyone experienced this issue and how were they able to resolve it?

3 million ppl apply for a Visa each year and you ask has anyone else experience this. 😁😄 Sorry but I get a kick out of that statement each time someone ask it. Anyhowww. Here is what you do to correct the problem. 

 

Follow the link https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/applicanthome clicked on "Provide Feedback" on the menu on the left, chose "Online system errors" on the "reason" drop down menu, write about the discrepancy in your new DS-160 application number and the schedule confirmation they sent myou in the "comments" box, and attached a photo of my DS-160 application confirmation.

 

In a day or so you should confirmation that the new DS160 is attached to your K1.

Sorry for the late response but that is what I did. I did everything in advance without waiting for them to email me the information. And to my luck everything worked out perfect.

Hello,

 

Please which is the best way to print my whats-app chat communication with my fiancee? Should I export to a text file or I should do screen shots of all our communication, paste in word file and print?

Your advice will be appreciated.

Here’s the steps I took : 

 

So after I received my NOA2 in the mail, I called NVC consistently to find out if they’ve received my case from USCIS. It took exactly 2 weeks of calling to receive the number from NVC. The day I received the number I called them in the morning and they stated they didn’t have it, then I called in the evening around 6pm and they had a case number for me. When you call them make sure you get both the case  id number and the invoice id number. 

 

Next, 

 

After receiving my case and invoice ID numbers, I started making preparations with my fiancé to go do his medical exam and his police report. 

 

Note : make sure to update your email address with NVC because they’ll contact you over email. I never received any letters from them via mail.

 

 

Find packet 4 online. Consulate won’t send it to you until after they receive your case. At the top where I posted all the links you’ll see a link that has the Packet 4 information I believe. In the packet, it’ll give you information on what you need for the interview, where to do the medical exam and police report and other important information you need for the interview. 

 

Typically, you’ll receive this packet after the embassy receives your case from NVC. 

 

After I obtained my case number from NVC, it took another 2 weeks for it to leave NVC. Meaning it sat at NVC for a month before being sent to the embassy. 

 

While the month was going and we were waiting for NVC to send it to the embassy, we did the medical exam, the police report and paid the visa fee and went ahead and scheduled an interview. Visa fee was $265, medical exam was approximately N100,000 (actually less than but I don’t remember the actual amount) and N7000 for the police can report. 

 

Again, according to my calculations, I calculated it would take two days for the consulate to receive our case, 4 days to receive a packet. But I’d personally suggest emailing the consulate asking for packet 4. Again, if you receive Packet 4 prior to the embassy sending it you don’t really need to request for it again though they’ll still send it. 

 

Medical exam in Nigeria takes 10 days to receive the result. So plan to have enough time to pick up your medical exam to have it ready for the interview. The police report I believe is same day. Just a few hours wait but you can get it the same day (fiancé verified if only took him about an hour) and the visa fee you’ll pay $265 at GTB bank and then use the number on your receipt to set up the interview. 

 

 

Do not wait for NVC they’ll delay the entire process. 

 

 

If you have any more questions please feel free to ask. I just wanted to send out this general message to everyone asking to let them know the steps I took. 

 

Thank you for this breakdown

I would think that exporting them to a text file and then merge to a word document for printing would be the best but you are going to be the "author" of this document which process do you think would achieve your objective?

If you look in the P3 letter (there is no P4 letter as that is usually used when the embassy schedules the appointment for you and Nigeria does not schedule appointments) from the links below your answer for your question is contained therein.

 

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.

Has anyone been set an appointment with the embassy and possibly saw earlier spots open up after they set the appointment?

Earlier spots do open from time to time. Need to keep your eyes open as they usually are snapped up rather quickly. Don't cancel too many times or you head to the back of the line and have to wait 90 days and pay the interview fee once again.

 

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.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right-hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

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

 

@sg123  See above for instructions on how to complete your profile. Thanks.

The chat says its for Nigerians only or am I in the Filipino chat group hence your flag?

Yes you are in the Nigerians only room (but the TOS states that anyone can visit and comment in any thread) and yes I processed through the Philippines more than 5 years ago. So what's your point?

 

If you were to wonder out of this thread then how would others have the information to answer your question. Each embassy is different and it only benefits you because you will get a straight answer.

 

But what I tell those who are resisting the thought of finishing there timeline and embassy, where they will process their visa through, you don't have to complete it and I don't have to respond with answering your questions. I answer and help many people, which if you look at my profile you'll see it's almost 7,000 replies. Once again you do not have to complete your profile, I was just making the request so I and others can help you.
