Africa: Sub-SaharanWhat next after case number?
Happy New Year Dwheels.Thanks for the information it really helps. I just got my case number now to the next level. I tried to check the number on the Ceac website under the immigrant visa section and it brought out the same page. It didn't show the status maybe when it got there or what stage its now like the USCIS page. Is that how it works? I want to be sure of the number before going to pay the visa fee. Please someone should please help.

Africa: Sub-SaharanIs Uploading A Photo On The Ds160 Form Mandatory?
Hi guys, this journey is getting a bit confusing. I paid the visa fee yesterday and I want to quickly schedule an early appointment but couldn't because I was told I have to submit the ds 160 form first. The question is is it mandatory to upload a photo on the ds 160? Can I use a P.O. Box as my contact address to receive my packet 3? The address on my biometrics is a Lagos address but I am now working in Ibadan and still can get my letter in the Lagos address but was wondering if its okay to change the address to Ibadan. Please guys I will appreciate some answers and instructions on how to get moving from this stage to the final stage of the appointment. Don't want to make mistakes.waiting to hear from you guys. Thanks.

Africa: Sub-Saharank1 visa fee
Yea I have taken care of that thanks. Do u need to upload a passport photograph on your ds160? Or you are expected to come with 3 copies to the interview. I am planning to submit the ds160 without uploading any pic is that okay?

Thank you guys for your kind responses. We will keep calling NVC.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Anyone With This Experience?
We got our NOA2 Oct 15th and had been calling NVC for case number at least twic a week but they told us that they have not received our file yet from USCIS so the supervisor adviced my fiancée to call USCIS she called them today and spoke to a supervisor who told her that our file has been sent to the consulate directly without going through NVC. Is that normal? Had anybody experienced this before? Is almost 2 months since we got approved and I heard the petition is only valid for 4 months from the date of approval. Please I will like to know if anyone had experience this in the past. Thanks every one.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)8 Weeks Today After NOA2
8 weeks today after NOA2 Texas service center. NVC don't have our case number. USCIS said it was sent to embassy. Embassy refused to reply my email. I really do not know what to do. My police reports from two different countries are ready and counting already. Any advice on how to go about this? Every useful details will be appreciated.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)What Do We Do Now?
Thank you once again for the explanation. Yes I have been in Nigeria since I filed the K1 9 months ago and I was able to get the police clearance via the help of a courier service and it cost a lot. So I just was to be sure I will not be told to get another one. It took 2 months to get our case shipped to NVC and I am still waiting for case number at what point do we extend the petition to keep it valid and which department do we contact for that? As for the Lagos in my profile I thought they were asking me the city I live in so I guess I will change it to my fiancée's?
godsruleMaleNigeria2013-12-21 01:06:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)What Do We Do Now?
@Dwheels. My police report from the country I have live for more than 3 months is only valid for 3 months and is already counting since Dec. I don't know when I will get an interview date if it expires before I get an interview do you think I will be told to get another one? After paying your visa fee do you know the average time or months to get an interview date in Lagos?

Is been a very long wait at USCIS just getting stuck for 8 whole weeks it wasn't funny. God will give us strength to get to the end of this journey. The End will definitely Justify the Means.
