National Visa Center (Dept of State)nvc

Your very lucky your approval took 20 days mine took 80+ seems a bit unreal doesnt it.

it is unreal bc i was thinking it was going to take until march that were going to get the noa1 let alone get the noa2 before the end of february but i think the rest of it will go slow. i already started him to get stuff, like pictures more conversations for the interview, he said we dont need the affadivit of support bc his friends that have gone through didnt need it but i have it ready anyways. i told him to get a nice suit i will be sending him a folder full of stuff like conversations and more pics he doesnt have of us so i will be ready for anything inchallah.

It only cost him 4000 Naira too!

Praise the Lord for His goodness and mercy, I was just also wondering if you knew if it was mandatory for your husband to go to Nigeria to get his police certificate? Do you know if it is possible for my husband to have someone else get it for him or must he go there in person?


Absolutely mandatory now. They won't take fingerprinting from other countries, so he'll have to go and get fingerprinted.


SO got his birth certificate affidavit in less than a day too!!! He'll be back in Senegal by the end of the week!

Ok thank you very much, now we will have to prepare for him to go back home. Was hoping to avoid that.

We are right along with you. We filed using an attestation of birth which came from the National Population Commission alonf with the birth cert. which was generated in 2004 when he got a passport. Since we are still waiting....it will be interesting to see what happens. Many people don't have birth certificates so the attestation of birth was the only way this could be resolved for us.

I'm interested in what others have to say about this as well. So far we have had no RFE.....but it is still very early.


Just curious why did you already send in a copy of SO's birth certificate? It isn't required until you reach the IV Packet stage.


We just sent everything we needed needed the birth certificates as part of the process to properly legalize our marriage in Italy, so when I filed I submetted all of the legalization documents including my apostilled Birth certificate for use in Italy and his birth certificate as well. I've heard a few stories of marriages not being considered legal because certain steps were not followed. So we wanted to do everything correctly. Also since my husband is originally from Nigeria, we decided to be safe and include affidavits from family and much more. it will all be resubmitted later as well. We just decided to get everything ready to go from begining all the way through NVC (even though we are not there yet. We have a baby on the way so are hoping to avoid any RFE and any unecessary delays that might happen because we don't have something yet.


Wow....sorry I didn't proof read this unsure.gif

Anyway......we did it because his Birth cert. and attestation of birth were needed as part of the marriage legalization process in Italy. I just submitted all of the legalization docs instead of just the marriage cert.

I'm just glad I found VJ because the guides were wonderful as well as all the advice I found here. We probably over dosed on the proof and documents with the petition but better safe than sorry.

Yes just like you cornbread, i submitted my husbnads along with all other relevant documents just to be sure and in case. And mine also has his from the National Population Commission only it has a record number and validation along with a Sealed High Court Judicial Division of Statutory Declaration of Age validating age and place of Birth in Nigeria so prayerfully all is well . Anyway I sent copies of all just to be safe!

Here's the story.

Stayed in Senegal for school for a year. Decided to stay the summer with my fiance. Went to the ministry l'interior for extention of my visa. Gathered all the paperwork. Went to the city police to pick up my paperwork. They needed more information. Gave them that information. They said wait two weeks and we will mail you your papers. it has been 3 weeks and i haven't recieved anything. Most people have told me that I wont recieve anything, this government isn't good with paper work. So, the question is.... my last visa expired the 22nd of May... I'm still here. They gave me a little piece of paper with just a date on it, saying that if something happens I could just show this paper and they will know that my visa is being processed. Interesting....

should i believe them and will i have problems leaving in August to go back to the States?

p.s. went to the Togo embassy to get a tourist visa. They were closed, the Consulate opened just for me and gave me my visa in 30 minutes.... hmmm.. why can't life always be this easy?

Mrs.Jayb you should not have any problems trying to leave I lived there with my SO for 6 months last year and I didn't get my tourist visa, only stamped my PP every 3 months and was ok when I left had no problems whatsover!

QUOTE (datamon @ Oct 10 2009, 08:41 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
A few days ago our I-129F was approved and I am now researching the next steps. My fiance lives in Gambia and has previously lived in Nigeria and Senegal. It looks like she will have to go to Dakar for her interview since Gambia does not process K1 visas.

Here are a few questions:
  1. She will be traveling to Nigeria soon, so getting the police report from Nigeria (and Gambia) is no problem. However, what about Senegal? I found this:

    Foreigners can obtain a police record, (Extrait de Casier Judiciaire Special), from the Greffier de la Cour D'Appel Du Tribunal Departemental de Dakar, Bloc Des Madeleine, Avenue Andre Peytavin, Dakar, Senegal. The same fee of CFA 380 is collected for the service. Foreigners need to include a form of photo ID and the names of their parents with the request for the police report. It takes two days to one week to process this request. For foreigners in Senegal, they can pay the fee directly at the court. For former residents currently living outside of Senegal who are requesting the police report from abroad, the fee must be paid by bank draft.

    Has anyone sent for the Police Report from Senegal? How long did it take?

  2. Can the medical exam be done in Gambia or must that be done in Senegal also?

  3. If the medical must be done in Senegal, can it be done the same day as the interview, or should she plan on at least staying overnight in Dakar?


This forum is great and I am certain that the knowledge here will help minimize any surprises that may come our way.

Hello Datamon, Your fiance can get her PC in Dakar at any Extrait de Casier Judiciaire Special, from the Greffier de la Cour D'Appel Du Tribunal Departemental de Dakar, Bloc Des Madeleine, Avenue Andre Peytavin, Dakar, Senegal. The same fee of CFA 380 is collected for the service. Foreigners need to include a form of photo ID and the names of their parents with the request for the police report. It takes two days to one week to process this request. For foreigners in Senegal, they can pay the fee directly at the court. For former residents currently living outside of Senegal who are requesting the police report from abroad, the fee must be paid by bank draft.

As for the Medical I cannot answer that one as we have not gotten to that part yet but will be very soon. God bless you and do not be discouraged things will be fine.

FOR MY GOD IS ABLE TO DO EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY ALL WE CAN EVER ASK OR THINK!!!!

Hello to all VJ FAMILY!! i POSTED IN ANOTHER FORUM AND POSTING HERE TOO!!

It has been an Spiritual and Emotional two weeks, My husband had his 2nd Interview today after 8 days of being in AP, No I never posted because I was determined through prayer that the Lord would intervene and graciously He has. We first had our interview on the 17th of Dec and I of course went to this interview, My husband and I both were interview together they never separated us nor told me to have a seat but they did ask him when and howmany times I have been in Senegal and for how long. He then asked my husband about his previous visitor applications and wanted him to tell him how many and my husband did of course. He asked him questions pertaining to the previous applications and in the end we were given a white form to provide evidence pertining to the previous application. I asked when we have aquired the info can we bring it back today or tomorrow the CO then said we just needed to prove the evidence. So we then had to take a journey to the Gambia to get the evidence and it took us 5 days but praise God through prayer and fasting as well as the legal system in Gambia helped tremedously. We returned back to Senegal the Monday evening and then to the Embassy without an appointment as I was determined to give them this evidence for my husband to come home. They did except the evidence and told us they would call us or contact us if additional information was needed. So we waited and we got an email as I had to arrive back to US for work and I told the CO before I left that I had to return for work and would not be able to come for another interview again, she said it was ok I didn't have to be here for that. So praise God he was shceduled to have interview today and they gave him the green ticket and told him to come back on next Tuesday at 2pm to pick up his passport and package!!!Glory to God he is wonderful!!!!and he is responsible for all thank you Jesus!!!!I want to also add they didn't ask him any questions at 2nd interview only took his passport and gave him the green ticket,told hi to come back next Tuesday and that was it!!To everyone else still waiting I encourage you to hold on to God's unchanging hand He will never fail you nor will he leave you, He hears the prayers and crys of the righteous and He answers them!!

i ESPECIALLY THANK VISA JOURNEY WITHOUT THIS FORUM IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EVEN HARDER BUT I THANK GOD FOR THIS FORUM AND FOR EVERYONE HERE!!MAY THE LORD WHO IS RICH IN MERCY BLESS ALL AS YOU WAIT FOR YOUR LOVE ONES!!

Hi Queeny (and everyone)!
Sorry its been so long!

Everything went well for us-- we had the religious ceremony June 27, and the civil one July 9, both in Saint-Louis. At this point, I just miss him torop-- and no one here understands.

Where are you in the process? We have the 1st part of the spouse visa filed, and are completing the second pt so it will be ready when they ask for it.

Also my husband is going to hear any day now about getting the fulbright. Does anyone know what will happen to our petition if he comes to the US on a student visa?

Thanks everyone!!

Hello rafetnatorop, Congrats on both ceremonies and God bless, As for your SO applying for a student visa, I would advise you strongly not to, just file for your spouse visa is all you can do at this point, I know this as my SO has tried before to file on a student, B2, R1 and was denied. Dakar Embassy will flatly tell you that they will not issue because of the law that says your spouse is an intending immigrant and is not qualified for any other visa and they will not isssue as they say it is just trying to circumvent the visa system. We been down that road before many times so my advice would be to file asap for either the K3 or CR1. May God bless and again Congrats!!

Hi everyone! Thanks again for your advice. The only thing that I'm worried about is if we do not post the banns (or if we post them and i'm not there yet, or if we get married before the 15 days)-- is the US going to recognize our marriage as valid? I really don't want to screw anything up.
Has anyone had experience with this before?
Thanks!

Yes your marriage will still be valid, all they are interested in is the certified sealed marriage certificate from the civil court which makes it valid and legal in the US.

Thanks so much for your advice. Do you know how long it takes to get the certificate? or how long in advance you have to register?
Drame's family is from Ker Madiabel near Kaolack, but we'll probably be at the Universite de Gaston Berger in Saint-Louis for most of my stay there.

Good morning, I also was married in Dakar in 2007 and we never posted anything in the Banns, we did have both our Birth Certificates and they took copies of , as for the Us Embassy they did give me not my husband , a attestation celibrat to certify i was single. As for your getting married there in the Civil Court, yeah you can get married without posting it in a Banns but it will cost you more than a penny, we had to pay Sengelese style if you can understand that. One thing I definetely know about Senegal is you pay extra for everything!! Not just as a foreigner, but more especially as a USC. I have lived there for six months in Mbour and Saly so I do know what I am talking about!! But congradulations and May God bless you both! And no your Birth Certificate does not have to say in anticipation for marriage, it only needs to be certified with the seal from Vital Records.

Have you called the US Embassy in Paris? Are you absolutely sure your file is not with them right now? It may not even have been returned...

USCIS Service CentersPlease help...Case sent back to USCIS from state deparment for review????
sorry for the delayed response. i have received neither an email response nor a hardcopy for the moment. my case is (presumably) sitting in the mailroom of either the NVC or the USCIS waiting for them to enter it into their system and send me a notice. mine should take a bit longer for them to receive since it was sent by the embassy in Paris.
the more i look around the more i think that this has to be some sort of error or theres something going on that theyre just not telling us (a link to wikileaks perhaps?) the point is, even if we're all at "different" stages of the process, we all received the same notice around the same time. it cant be just coincidence.
i just hope they fix it quickly, whatever it is. ive been in contact with my senator and congressman. nothing they can do until my case is received somewhere.
anyone else have updates on their cases?..


Have you called USIS yet? What kind of notice did you receive? Was it in the shape of an email or was it a hardcopy? Did both messages state the same thing, that your file had been returned to USCIS? Your case is one of the strangest I have read about so far, because you were so advanced in the process of getting the visa, but it - once again - promts me to believe somebody at USCIS has mistakenly sent out these e-mails/notices...

On Dec 1st I found out that it is being sent back to the USCIS for review requested by the DoS!!!!! My case still hasnt arrived at either the NVC or the USCIS yet and I'm freaking out. Neither my husband or I have ever had any problems in the past, i.e, criminal record, overstay, deportation, etc.. and theres nothing wrong with our case to my knowledge. i dont know whats going on! :(
