Ok F2A sometimes delays because it depends on the priority date.

Hello all,

We heard the magic words today in USEM Lagos, APPROVED!!!

Thanks everyone....the CO did not check 1 single documents (maybe due to my wife's previous US visits and USEM records). She only asked for our pictures on her recent visits.  No tax 2017 or 2018...nothing.

But she said something I need clarifications please, that my Nigerian born stepchildren at the POE are US citizens automatically and should join the queue for US citizens and we should not apply for their Green cards!!!

Congrats!!

Hi guys, 

Just wanted to tell you about my experience during  my visa interview. 

First, let me provide a bit of background. When I was 15 years old I overstated my visa in the US with my Italian passport. I left with a volunteer departure before I meet the one year mark. 

So, today was my visa interview at embassy in Santo Domingo. I was so nervous but my husband came to accompany me during the process. We get in  and stand in line to provide some documents, that process took about an hour. Afterwards  sent us to wait for our interview. We did not wait 10 mins when we were called. 

The consul first asked us to provide all the evidence we had for our marriage. We provided a photo album, flight records, money sent, among other documents. He probably took 2 minutes looking through those when the questions started. He asked the following questions: 
1- tell me about your relationship history. 
2- he asked my husband how many times he has traveled to see me. 
3- where have I travel and how long I've stayed at each location. 
4- who my husband lived with. 
5- was I ever arrested or detained by a police officer or immigration. (During this questions I explained that I was stopped by an immigration officer during my over stay) 
6-where was I heading when I was stopped. 
7-with who was I living during my stay and what did I do during that time. 

After we have answered all the questions, we waited approximately 20 mins. Then, he came back with my passport and a paper and said the worst thing in the world..."Unfortunately, you have a ten year penalty for over staying your visa. Your visa has been denied, you need to contact USCIS if you wish to continue with your case" 

At this moment, I was in shock. I could not say anything... Honestly I was about to cry. Then my husband said "excuse me, may I ask you a question. Does the ten year penalty applies to her even if she was a minor during that time?" (We had done the research regarding this topic before applying for the visa) The consul seemed confused and took the paperwork and passport. We then waited for a few more minutes while him and his colleague reviewed something on the computer. Then he asked again if I was deported which I explained to him again that it was a volunteer departure. I provide the paperwork, he makes a copy and says "this information changes our decision, congratulations your visa has been approved!!" 

I am so happy but this has been a Rollercoaster of emotions.  This taught us that they could make mistakes and is very important to be well informed. 

I hope this helps.

O God you are awesome!!!!...we bless his name!!❤❤❤

Emailed NVC about 10 days ago to expedite the interview, just got a response back saying that my request to expedite the interview is under review.

Oh ok so that means i should submit my dad’s too? He even needs to have a separate aos? Thank you

Yes.

 

One of them will be the joint sponsor (the one that makes the most money i suggest), and one of them will be the household member of that person. 

 

The joint sponsor fills out the i864.   The household member fills out the i864a.  

 

This is what mine looks like.  The second red bar covers my uncles name.  The third red bar covers my aunts name.

Thank you. I called them yesterday. The NVC representative just told me to upload my mom’s w2 to show her part on that transcript. She did not tell me to submit i864a for my dad. I’m confused☹️ But i’ll just do what you did

AND GET RFE again, its best to call and ask, call as much as you want to get the correct answer, ask to speak to a supervisor

Yeah that's confusing.

 

Like NYOKIE just said, keep calling the NVC until you get a straight answer.  The person who picks up the phone is paid to do sit there and answer questions all day.  

 

I think of the NVC agents told me to have my aunt do the i864a and i think one said not to worry about it. I can't even remember what exactly happened actually. But in the end i just had her do it as i like to be safe and i tend to go overboard with things just to be safe.

And did they accept it? It is also my problem now. The note says pls upload all W2 form in Cristina’s Tax return (she files jointly). They are only asking for W2 of her spouse again. I was on the phone with NVC but internet cut me off lol
