[@KishaMonique]

First, let me say congratulations on getting approved!!!!!!! Thank you for making this video and being concise and thorough with the information. My husband and I have created our binder with all of our supporting documents, but it was nice to double-check what we've done with the information you've shared. Well done!!!! Wishing you and your wife all the best in the future!

[@ArielDavid-ih9xy]

Thanks a lot. And I'm glad I was able to help. I wish you the best in your interview.

[@KishaMonique]

@@ArielDavid-ih9xy Thank you! Question...how did you arrange your documents? Did you put all of them in the order you listed them in the video?

[@ArielDavid-ih9xy]

Yes, I put them in the order I listed but the original copies were in a different folder. It depends on the kind of folder you're using.

No you don’t need another if it’s within the same year.

[@abbeyabbey8222]

Can you do your medical in a recommended medical center in another state?

[@ArielDavid-ih9xy]

Well to be honest I only know the ones in Abuja and Lagos. IOM and Qlife family clinic.

[@abiodunadebanjo3555]

Thanks for sharing, pls i have two questions Who should hold the original copy of the marriage certificate, the petitioner who is there or the applicant who is here Secondly at the beginning of the processing your passport is two years to expiry , when you get your appointment lets say after 1 year 6 months your passport has 6 months to go, what should someone do and wont it affect your application

[@ArielDavid-ih9xy]

1. The applicant should keep the original copies as he/she will need to present them on the interview day. 2. If your passport is less than 6 months to expire before your interview, go renew your passport ASAP. Do that quickly before your interview letter arrives.

[@lashantiwilliams719]

Thanks for the information. In regards to original copies, did you provide an original birth certificate for your American spouse or a copy? I would think that a copy would suffice because it would be hard to obtain the original being I two different copies.

[@ArielDavid-ih9xy]

Hmmm the original copy can be sent to you through DHL. Although I wasn’t asked to submit it at the embassy but I went with the original copy of my wife’s birth certificate. If you know you can’t get the original, go with the photocopy at least. Hopefully they won’t ask for it. No need to panic. God’s with you

[@lashantiwilliams719]

@@ArielDavid-ih9xy thanks for your reply. I have already sent my husband a copy of my birth certificate but he won't have the original because I believe this document is too important to send via DHL. Thanks again and keep up the good work. I will post your video to our Naija wives group.

Concerning the COVID vaccine, i did not take the vaccine but i have the card, at the Qlife family clinic, will the check me to know if i took the vaccine or not ,if i only present my vaccination card?

If the card says you've been vaccinated, I guess all they'll do is scan the QR code on your card to confirm and that's it.

[@OwusuAppiah-x5c]

If my petitioner has been divorced two times. Is it mandatory to send all the decree or atleast one can be enough cos I've one only here with me

[@ArielDavid-ih9xy]

My advice is that you get both. According to the message I sent you earlier, all previous divorce doc should be sent to NVC . You can verify on their website or use an immigration attorney to avoid the process being delayed.

[@princepaul-tz2nv]

The flight ticket, should we get it in photocopy or they send it to us

[@ArielDavid-ih9xy]

You can get the photocopy. If it’s for your interview at the embassy, you don’t really need it but if you just want to have it as additional proof of relationship/marriage then it’s fine. Don’t stress yourself over it.

[@debbyolabisi]

For ur medical examination results did u collect the results and submit it on the day of ur interview?

Get your proof of marriage ready (text messages, call logs, wedding pictures, photos of places y’all visited together, money transactions between you and your wife, birthday cards and any other thing you feel it’s good to share) Go get your COVID vaccination done and keep the card.

[@ArielDavid-ih9xy]

If you have been previously married, you must bring original proof of the legal termination of each previous marriage (e.g., death certificate of spouse, final decree of divorce or annulment). All original documents should be the exact same documents already submitted to NVC for your case.

Hi, please i want to ask a question concerning my police certificate, i did last year August and i have been scheduled for interview but my husband said it's still valid cus when he uploaded it last year, for some reason i don't know it didn't go through, so some told him is still valid for us to use it. Do think we should do a new one?

I think it's valid for 1 year. You should have a new one with you just to be safe. It won't be nice to delay your visa for something you could've done.

Hi David; My name is Francis, and I just had my immigrant visa interview on the 18th of this month. However, my visa was refused under 221g and I was put in “administrative processing” which says my case is under review and no action is required from me. My documents are all complete and the adjudicator almost approved my visa The issue started when he requested for our photos. I think he noticed that my wife is older than me hence the reason for the refusal and why he put me in administrative processing. I answered all questions correctly and accurately. I’m 33yrs old and my spouse is 73yrs. Please we need advice on what to do and what the possible outcome might be. Please what’s ur IG handle? Thanks so much

Look you don't need to know any officer. Just walk in there and tell any officer you see that you came to do your PCC and they'll take you to the office. You do not need to know anyone. It's that simple and there's usually little to no queue so there's nothing to be afraid of. Within 35 mins, you should have your certificate. It's really that simple.

Sir why do they put them on administration process. Also will it be a problem if i print part of my chat and screenshot?? Thanks

[@ArielDavid-ih9xy]

There are so many reasons why cases are put on administrative processing: citizenship, field of study or scope of research, prior visa overstays or denials, criminal activities, and more. Some times it’s just happens when you fail to provide them with all the civil documents you were supposed to bring to the embassy. In cases like this, the CO will tell you what documents you need to submit in other for them to grant you your visa.
