Wow congratulations Daisy. if i understand you well, it took USCIS four months (Jan - Apr) to approve and send to the Embassy?

Yes.

SmartJac:
Congratulations dear, please can you share your K1 journey (from your NOA 1 stage till the interview stage) with us?

2 Jan 2020: NOA 1
7 April 2020: NOA 2
27 May 2021: Case Ready
12 Jan 2022: Interview.

I just had my interview. It was a success. But I was told to bring the original copy of my birth certificate and submit at the DHL office alongside my port. I was also told that once I submit them my visa will be ready for collection in 10 days. Will I say I was foolish to have submitted the photocopy? Lol. Anyways I’m excited. Thank you all. Whew! What a journey.

I finally got my port today. Ikoyi office. Whew! Just in time.

Hello, where do you check case status. On CEAC ?

Check your status here;

You can proceed to book your interview once it says “ready”.

Somalino:


It's only showing me that my case was received on April 6th 2021.
It didn't say if my case is being processed,ready or at NVC

Please I need more clarification

Na wa oh. No one is talking about Ikoyi port office. Is it a dead zone? I did my capture since August. Was there yesterday and status still says AA. What kind of wahala is this? I though that by now August applicants will be getting their ports.

Aladii:


Yes you can. You can even be there by 6am. The appointment is done on first come basis not the time on your confirmation page

Ah! Ope oh. Thank you. Lol

Somalino:


Please how and where did your case show ready.
I have been waiting for NOA2 since April

Check your case status. The page will indicate if it’s “ready” or still “at NVC”.

My dear people, I have come again oh�. Pls can I attend my interview earlier than the appointed time? My interview is for 9am but I want to be attended to earlier… 7am�.

Thank you.

So sorry for all this. I think you should complain widely.
On facebook send messages
On the NIS portal send messages too
There are numbers and emails on the website- so call and email.
Also go to Servicom office with all your receipts of payments and acknowledgement slips. And complain. Ask to speak to the PCO.
Don't take no for an answer
I think the worst case is you may have to submit andcapture again etc. But I think if you make a big enough fuss, you should get some fast track treatment.

Also if you know the date you went there, they usually have a book where they enter the files or the submissions. That can help.
But I def go back there with all your documents, complain to Servicom and escalate to the pco.

Many thanks to you for this info.

Go ahead with your interview schedule. Even if your port expires (in this case yours is not yet expired. Don't worry I'm aware of the 6-month validity), you will still be interviewed. Sounds strange right? I had a friend whose port expired on a Sunday (immigrant visa class) and his interview was on the next day Monday. He had applied for a new port and was tossed up and down by the port Office for 16 weeks. I advised him to call the Visa helpline. He called and was asked to come in for his interview with the expired port.
To cut a long story short, his visa was approved and he was given a letter to submit his new port whenever he gets it. It took about 6 weeks after his interview for his port to be ready. He sent it to the embassy (UPS VI drop-off address) and his visa was issued.

He is in the USA now for about 5months.

So, if you have any concerns as regards to this, reach out to the US Visa helpline.

Good day all. I don’t know how to type my concerns. Anyways, my port is expiring next year July. My interview is next year January. My port validity will be exactly 6 months on a day before my interview.
Problem:
As soon as I scheduled my interview in July and I got a date for next year, I proceeded to renew my port cause I no wan hear story(na the story I dey now). August 4th, I completely all I needed for the application , did my biometrics… all the gbogbotigbo. After 3weeks, I came to check the status, they said it’s being processed (don’t the word they used). Then a month later I came and status Indicated “no record found”. Ah! I asked the officer, he said it may be a system glitch that it will correct itself and I shouldn’t worry but to come back in another 3weeks. I got there and this thing is still saying “no record found”. Met with some senior officers who did wan thing wan thing on the system. The other one even requested for my file(file that I already submitted). At the end of the day they told me to not worry that my port will be ready soon. Ready soon on top no record found abi , ok oh. I sha took their words with a grain of salt.
Question:
Provided that I don’t get my port next month,
What do I do?
Can I postpone my interview?
Should I abort payment for medicals? Cause if I pay for medicals and miss my interview, it will be a waste of money.
Pls I need advice as I’m very unsettled by this. Nigeria wan wound me so.

Fiestafetta:


Ikoyi, Lagos. Shey I never enter one chance like this? A friend who paid also has same issue with her children’s port. Status says no record found.

Which state is that? Honestly that is why I don't encourage DIY, Nigeria is not a country that is good with record, at least if you handed it over to an officer, he or she will be the one telling you what to do. The same thing I told my sister, not that we had money to waste but at Least to commit it to an officer within the premises...... Ask them what to do and follow their instruction

Pls my people, I applied for my port renewal since 4th of August. After a month I went to check, they said it’s being processed. Then last month I went to check again, they said “no record found”. I met an officer who told me it could be a glitch. Now I’m back here at their office and still no record found. They said I should go get my file. File that I submitted to them. Then they told me to search some piles of files, I didn’t see mine. What should I do pls? I’m worried cause I need to use the port next month. Nigeria will not kill me.

if i got your question right, YES you must have your medical at the embassy designated clinics and don’t worry they’ll give you the required shots, i was only asked if I’ve had chicken pox before, that will determine if they’ll give you chicken pox vaccine or not, did i answer your question?

Ok. I was referring to the immunisation. If I don’t have records then I will do it. Only question I asked was if it’s ok to do it at a general hospital. It’s just the immunisation , I don’t mean the basic medical screening which is compulsory at the embassy designated hospital. Seems like my question is kinda complex to understand, lol. Thanks anyways. Appreciate your reply.

Treasureprince1:
please can you ask this question again?

Is it a must to be immunised at the embassy designated hospital? I have no immunization records and I want to go to a general hospital to get it done. I understand that if I don’t have any immunization records then I have to pay to get it done at the embassy designated hospital.

Pls is it ok for me to go get immunised at the “general hospital”, after which I will have the record which I will present at the embassy designated hospital?

Airboy333:
the police report is valid for 1 year 4get about d 3 months on it .for the medical d two weeks is ok but is best u call the medical (hospital)and confirm hw long will it take for result to be out

Ok, Thanks

Good day everyone. While awaiting my appointment date I went ahead to do my police report only to then get my appointment slated for January 2021. Now the police report says it’s valid for 3 months. Do you think I need to do another one in December? Also, I heard that the medicals have to be done like 2weeks prior to the interview cause I will take it with me on the D day. Is it ok to do the medicals 3weeks before or when exactly?

Hello guys. My case status showed ready so I went to pay the visa fee and filled the form. I was also sent the confirmation page. Now what do I do , regarding getting an interview date? I checked on the site for next step but it’s just showing the Abuja and Lagos addresses. I’m clueless.

Please how is it that I got an email from someone from this forum? How did they get my email address? Thought it was protected on here.
