mrskiffa:
Hello everyone,

I hope you're all doing well. I'm reaching out to this community seeking guidance and insights on a challenging situation I've encountered in my immigration journey.

My journey began with the filing of an I-360 petition (widower petition) after the ing of my American citizen husband shortly after our marriage. After patiently navigating through the processing stages and the challenges posed by COVID-19 in 2021, my I-360 petition reached the embassy interview stage.

During the embassy interview, I was asked a few questions, followed by several weeks of istrative processing. To my surprise, the U.S. Embassy returned my I-360 petition to USCIS, suggesting a possible revocation. Now, USCIS has completed its review and sent the petition back to the National Visa Center (NVC) for further visa processing.

I find myself uncertain about what to expect in this context, especially with an I-360 petition. I would greatly appreciate any advice or insights from those who have experienced a similar situation. What are the typical next steps in the visa application process for I-360 petitions after USCIS returns the petition to NVC? Are there any specific documents or actions I should be prepared for, particularly in the case of an I-360 petition?

Your insights and experiences are immensely valuable to me as I navigate this challenging situation. Thank you in advance for your assistance and .

Best regards,

If it has been returned to NVC then you'll just have to wait. till you're told what docs to submit to the portal. It maybe the same docs you ed the before your interview.
You would be interviewed again so maybe what you were asked and the answers you gave

I think the only cases I've seen in nairaland is when the petitioner parent dies during immigrant visa processing.

You might wanna check visajourney website. It has far more forums and you might get answers from those in similar circumstances

USCIS are yet to approve the i130s. After the approvals, go to travel.gov site and be checking on the visa bulletin. It is a long haul, brother.

nah
green card owner but he is collecting his next year

I’ve been DQed by NVC since August.. When should I be expecting an interview since my petitioner is a Us citizen and spouse and children of Us citizens do not have priority date?

Ok. Right now your sister is under F2A while you are F2B. When he naturalisés, your sis will be IR2 while you become F1. Everyone remains unmarried if not category will change for more years to wait. Your sis won't wait too much (after being documentarily complete) when your dad becomes a citizen next year.

Are you under 21?

Yes my child is under 21, and I’m the spouse of a US citizen

If you were DQ'd August 2023, it's about 11-12 months before interview in Nigeria. Unless you have a valid reason to expedite.

Hello, does anyone know how long it takes for minor of LPR to get interview dates in Lagos.

Why did it take you this long? 2017 PD is 6years already, converting to a USC could have made the process faster.

The petitioner is yet to naturalize

Good afternoon, all.

I need clarification on the F4 visa process.

My sibling, who is a US citizen, filed for my immigration. PD is May 2016.

The status of my case says Case Received, and the inquiry date is May 2024.

How do I get to know the ND and DQ?

F4 takes about 16 years presently, so you will need to wait.
first the petition would have to be approved by USCIS and sent to NVC before you can begin to discuss DQ.
At case received, it means your petition is yet to be approved.

Thank you for your reply.

Can one who has applied for F4 also apply for spousal visa (permanent resident)?

And how long does it take, that's if you have an idea.

It's the petitioner that applies on your behalf
USC in the US applies for spouse in Nigery
USC sibling in the US applies for sibling in Nigeria

To your question YES you can have multiple immigrant applications applied for you.

Thank you for your response.

Let me disturb you further, please.

How long does it take to bring your spouse over for a permanent resident?

Thank you so much, What surprises me is the message that says my application has been sent to state department for visa processing. Does that mean I will not attend interview again?

You'll still attend interview if your port is not with them.
They will want to see you most likely .

If your port is with them then that's different

my wife she's medical nurse and my son both are green cardholders. although before she left, she did a bit of my applications halfway and now she has officially filed for me. Please how long does this process take?

F2A, you are in this category.
The process could take between 4 - 5 years going by the current timeline. If she, however, becomes a USC (through naturalization), you can apply under IR1 which has a relatively faster processing time.

Please house, what does this mean: "Your case will be assigned to an adjudication officer no later than one year prior to the date of visa availability."?

Pls house help me to understand ,a friend of my is waiting for an interview date,she just got a mail from nvc that she is documentrily qualified,and my findings is that the embassy still has backlog of 2021 they are still treating .her father is an American citizen,her father filled for her.pls if this is true that they are in 2021,pls which month are they now?
