    It’s all a bit vague but obviously makes a heck of a difference if it’s dodgy/misepresentation in any way. The OP needs to forget about petitioning their kids, as Boiler said that’s the least of their worries. Sounds like a really good lawyer is needed.

    What do you mean ‘not really correct? Was it from official sources but just had a typo or something, or was it fraudulent?
  3. appleblossom
    No worries, good luck. Hopefully you’ll get the invoice no. soon and can get the process started.

    Much faster for a LPR to petition a child. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2025/visa-bulletin-for-february-2025.html

    Exactly, the OP needs to clarify the situation. But either way the visa isn’t relevant!

    Yes, my daughter’s hadn’t arrived by 90 days so we reported it and it turned out she needed to redo her biometrics. Usually once whatever the issue is is sorted, it’s delivered quite quickly.
  7. appleblossom
    Unlikely as it doesn’t come under one of the listed ‘exceptional circumstances'. But a consulate can accept a case under discretionary reasons so you can certainly ask, it’s worth a try. Good luck.

    Does he meet the requirements for him to have become a citizen upon entry? If not, then when did you pay the green card fee and what does the online status say? It can take up to 90 days from the date of payment to arrive.
  9. appleblossom
    Just to confirm, this is spousal case and the petitioner is a US citizen?

    I’m not Boiler. 😂 You can search timelines for any other non-immediate relative visas as they’ll be the same sort of time - just bear in mind there is obviously no way of knowing how things may change, and there’s a chance Trump will ban Nigerians again which may impact things.

    It’s certainly possible, they’ve just warned you that this is your last chance. It’s a shame that your brother has had his move delayed, he could have had his visa years ago. Just a cautionary tale for anybody else applying for family members really, they need to be aware of the process and how it all works. Make sure you do your research going forward and do everything in a timely manner. Good luck.

    Did you contact them when the PD became eligible for filing (5 years or so ago)? If so, what did they say then? You must have been sent the Welcome Letter but it probably went in to spam, you’re very lucky that they haven’t cancelled the whole application. Hopefully it’ll get sent to you again (it’s an email - both you and your sibling need to check your junk/spam folders daily) and then you can proceed. Unfortunately Lagos has a lengthy wait for an interview, so it’s probably a couple of years away unless things speed up.

    Why do you think you need to extend anything? The visa was only for one time entry to the US, as long as he entered before it expired then it’s no longer relevant. As said above, he should be a green card holder or possibly even a citizen already.
  14. appleblossom
    Your PD became current in May 2021, and your PD was eligible to file even further back. Are you saying you’ve not submitted anything to NVC yet?
  15. appleblossom
    You still haven’t mentioned what visa you’re on now/what your status has been for the past couple of years?
  16. appleblossom
    AP be anywhere between a week, to a year, or even more. No way of knowing unfortunately, you just have to wait it out. Good luck.
  17. appleblossom
    That’s not possible - it’s immigration fraud.
  18. appleblossom
    Loads. But it’ll be very dependent on what you’ve applied for and when - please do fill in your timeline.
  19. appleblossom
    Oh, definitely more chance than that - there’s no grounds for an expedite if it’s not the USC. If you can prove that it will cause severe financial hardship then it’s worth a try.
  20. appleblossom
    Have you already submitted the I-130? If not, DCF may well be an option, which would be much quicker. Edit: never mind, just seen from your timeline that it’s already underway. An expedite isn't likely to be granted, but it’s free to ask for one so you may as well give it a try.

    https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/national-visa-center/immigrant-visas-processing-general-faqs.html#ivp13 "NVC will transfer cases to another IV processing post if parties provide a written request along with the address in the requested country and the proof of eligibility (citizenship/legal residency in the requested country or other documentation)." So sounds like they’ll need proof she’s there legally, but all she can do is ask and explain the situation, and see what they say. Good luck.
  22. appleblossom
    Please do update your timeline with full details to help others. If you were only DQ’ed yesterday then it won’t happen anytime soon. The most recent case I can find was only a 3 month wait for an interview though, but that was a year ago so timelines may have changed since then. But hopefully you’ll hear something by spring, good luck.
  23. appleblossom
    Needing the whole thing would be very unusual, it’s usually only the confirmation page that is required. Where have you read that you need the whole thing? Please do fill in your timeline, thx.
  24. appleblossom
    It would depend on what you used it for i.e. if it was an enquiry that should have gone to USCIS or the consulate instead then they would probably ignore it. But I’ve used it a few times and always had a response, current processing time for a response is only about a week - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html. They do usually go in to my junk/spam folder though, so do make sure you check there too.
  25. appleblossom
    You need to use the enquiry form. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html Good luck.
