Documentarily Qualified
Received the emails today that our documents are DQ and that we are currently waiting on an interview date. How long after DQ did you wait for interview at US Embassy/Consulate at Lagos, Nigeria?

J LoJun 18, 2022
how many months did it take to be DQ?
Shamondy OyelowoJun 18, 2022
@shiba bam I-130 approval 1/5/2022, NVC received 1/8/2022, NVC accepted all documents 4/6/2022 and requested an explanation, explanation given 4/7/2022, DQ 6/18/2022
@Jay papi that is crazy. I’ve seen others DQ’d later than that and now about to interview in July. Have you sent inquiry to NVC or called them?
Shamondy OyelowoJun 23, 2022
@LaTravia Chima, definitely!
Ud PeterJun 30, 2022

@ Jay: Is your Visa cartegory I-130 and what is your Priority Date?

As I continue to research👩🏽💻, I am finding that those who filed under the former presidential administration is still waiting, while quite a bit of those who filed under the Biden administration is moving forward⏩. Thousands of people made application during the travel ✈️ ban period in hopes of being “in front of the line” when the travel ban ended. The travel ban was not for Covid 😷alone and it did not end 🔚 until Biden got into office. But it was not just a travel ban put into place. The former president tried to end immigration from select countries into the US. If you are one of those countries, then it appears you are waiting for a while. I ask that you research to know the root cause of things to prevent further anxiety. Immigration is stressful, but this is beyond normal stress at this point. Instead of waiting to see your love ones here in America, start traveling back to them when possible, until they come. Love knows no boundaries. When you love, you will find ways to get things done, in spite of the surrounding circumstances.
What I’ve written is clearly my opnion, but it is what helps me sleep at night and get through this wait period. I hope this helps. Be encouraged🌈.

@Jay papi. Hang in there my Brothah! This is a daunting process, but we trust God to see us through to our loved ones. My husband is also a Nigerian. Nigeria has a special place in my heart. I love it there!

Hello Everyone. I hope you all have received some type of movement on your cases since last check in. As for me……still waiting. I hit day 75 since DQ June 18, 2022. I have seen several people DQ after me and already received interview letters for same category. NVC is not taking outside calls right now, and I have already sent an inquiry (even though NVC requests that we not inquire until 90 days have passed. Thanks and Best Wishes!

Hello there, so I got documentary qualified in July 2022. Still waiting for an interview appointment. I’m curious to know if any of you have gotten your interview yet?
Shamondy OyelowoJan 24, 2023
@Amina Aminu. My husband has been DQ since June 18, 2022. we are still waiting for an IL. As I know, Lagos is behind by 15 months and are still sending IL for those DQ around Sept 2021. Then some of those applications recent DQ have also received IL and gained their Visa Approvals. It is just a waiting game.

Hi Shamondy,
I stumbled across this form, and so I thought I would ask as well. Since I was DQ (Documentarily Qualified) back on July 2, 2022...I can see yours is longer than mine. So I was wondering how accurate the information you obtained where it indicted that they were still working on the DQ's from September 2021... if they is the case, then those approved in 2022 will not get an interview till 2024... Is this what you are estimating?
I have a Senator's Office looking into the matter for me, because I don't understand how they can have an estimate for non-immigrant visas, but for Immigrant Visas, there's no information. Any additional thoughts on how to determine the duration of the wait? I know you wouldn't know, but you might have some insights.
I'm referring to the US Consulate in Lagos, Nigeria as well.
Amina AminuFeb 1, 2023
I was just about to ask the same thing about how accurate the information is.. also when you said some recently DQ’s have also received their interview letters. Does that mean they’re not following it in order? This is just really ridiculous! I’m really hoping the fact they’re just now sending interview letters to those DQ’d in 2021 is not the case but then again anything is possible.
Please whatever you guys find keep us updated. Thank you.
Sly UchFeb 7, 2023

Received a DQ in November 2022 and got interviewed in November 2023. Grateful to God for the upcoming reunion with my family. To those still waiting for their interview dates or facing delays for any reason, I extend my prayers for strength to endure. Over the past three years, the waiting has taken a toll on us financially, emotionally, and in various ways. We navigated this challenging period by bringing my spouse to Nigeria annually for a two-month stay, fostering bonding and resilience. Now, as we embark on a new chapter, I empathize with other married couples enduring the separation. Your courage and patience will soon be rewarded with positive news. Keep holding on and don't give up. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year, and I eagerly await your good news.
