Appointment was for 8:30 am for me and my family.
We got on the queue by 6:45 am and were ushered into the waiting area for security and pre-screening.
We entered the Embassy main building by 8 am. And went straight to the bio-metrics line, where our finger prints were captured (14 years and above only) and our original documents collected.
We were called up by the CO at 10:15 am
We took oaths
Finger printed again for everyone , the Kids were not , but I did for them.
CO initially refused my BC saying it is a letter from NPC and that I should get a letter with the heading " Attestation of Birth Certification" from NPC.
I insisted that this was what was issued to me by NPC and was used for my I-130, 12 years ago. He refused still ,and asked if I had any other documentation such as Baptismal card. I had but my Petitioner's name on it was slightly different so I did not produce it. I produced instead my Birth delivery card and first immunization card with my birth date and petitioners name. After a while he accepted, thank God, otherwise 221 g.
Who Petitioned for you ? My Mum
How did she get to the US? Petitioned by Daughter
What does she do? Retired
How often has she visited? Yearly
Who is sponsoring you ? Sister
How many times have you been to the US? Twice
How many times have you attempted to go to the US? Four times
How many Countries have you visited? 8
Can I see pictures of you and the Petitioner? Yes, showed him 10 pictures
Then he said okay, I have all I need to approve your visa and proceeded to give me two USCIS immigrant fees payment pamphlets and USTravelDoc immigrant visa collection information. Your visa should be ready for collection in ten working days or two weeks time.
Visa was collected for everyone just after 3 days.
PS. If you are from Nigeria, Go to NPC to get your birth attestation CERTIFICATE with your picture in it, not a letter. I was fortunate.
I wish everyone the best.
