    I'm a US citizen. I imagine many West Africans want/ed to go to Barbados but few would actually be able to do it because of the travel restrictions as they would have to fly through the UK or Europe and that requires a transit visa which are quite difficult to attain. So I am doubtful that many actually made it to the Caribbean thus wouldn't effect our chances.

    My husband is Nigerian. We live in the Caribbean because it's one of the few places outside of Africa that he could travel to visa free and live together while we wait out this visa process. I work online.

    This country doesn't offer a resident permit. They only have a work visa, and you have to have a work visa for 5 years in a row to even apply for residence. Each country has their own immigration laws, what I trying to understand is what exactly is the point the US is trying to make. I suspect it's that one is in another country legally and can make the visa appointment.

  6. calni27
    My husband and I are living in the Caribbean and want to transfer his case from Nigeria to Barbados. We are almost at the NVC stage and want to make the request as soon as our I-130 is approved. I learned that we can make the request directly to NVC and the government website says to transfer a case my husband needs, "proof of eligibility (citizenship/legal residency in the requested country or other documentation). Citizenship aside what qualifies as legal residency? Does that just mean residing in the country legally? We have been living in the Caribbean for almost two years by extending our visitors visa every 3 months. We have a lease and had a child here who is a citizen. I recently saw a lawyer say being on a tourist visa can qualify as a legal residence but I want to know if anyone has successfully had their case transferred on a tourist visa?

    I heard the same thing from a lawyer online, from August 2024, that they have relaxed the requirements to transfer a case. I am also wondering if anyone has successfully done this. Also I understand you only have to ask permission from the Embassy if you are at that stage, but if you are still at the NVC stage you can directly ask NVC.
