Its been quite sometime i visited and posted in this forum. My family arrived US Nov 5th, settling down and other things took most of my time but thank God for everything.

Its been more than three weeks we arrived, we went to the SSN office within the second week of our arrival and was told to give the immigration 21days for our green card to arrive after which we can return back. My concern now is that its been more than 21days from our arrival date and all we (i and my daughter) have received is the welcome letter, even my husband's own welcome letter have not arrived up till this moment.

Pls, can someone who have had similar experience or is in Houston, Tx help me with when we are likely to get our GC, and should we go back to the SSN office with the welcome letter? Please what should i do to get it fast as we need this SSN for a lot of things as am made to understand? Thank you

You have nothing to worry about.

You can still wait for a while,the letter will come since you all use the same address.

The same thing happened to us,I got my GC letter and the SSN before my Wife came.The reason was they mistakenly sent my wife letter to the wrong address.

What we did was that we had to call SSN and discovered where the problem was.They latter corrected it.

Pls call SSN to clarify this issue once and for all fast.

Good luck to u nd ur family at large.

Please, is it compulsory to use the US lottery visa immediately one collect it or to use it within that fiscal year?
What would be the expiring duration of a visa collect on April, 2012.
Thanks!

A visa collected on April, 2012 will expire in six months time, lets say, October 2012. It is not compulsory to use the visa immediately u acquire it or even within that same fiscal year. But the point to know is that u must use it within the six months of issuance even if it is still in the fiscal year or after it. In my own case, i got my visa june 2011, waited till december 2011 before using my visa. The thing there is that my visa expires by december 9th 2011 and i just have to use it before this date, mind u, my fiscal year ended by september 30th 2011.

I just got my O'level result (WAEC) and I found that the date of birth on it is not correct while the interview is very close. Meanwhile, I have an attestation of date of birth from a recognized institution (National Population Commission), also I have Statutory Declaration of Age from state High Court. Please fellow Forumite, as anybody had this experience and what is the best solution to this issue? Thanks!

i had the same issue to, just 2days to my interview i had to get a scratch card, go online and print the the result, the online result doesn't come with the dob on it, and when u are going for the interview, attach the scratch card to the online printed copy, thats what they will use to verify on line. But don't forget to pray, i believe my prayers to god was the secret. Good luck.

I wuld advice u not to go to the Embassy with the Original WAEC certificate. Simply go online and print a copy that u will present at the embassy
and go with a scratch card. If they ask u for the Original certificate, just tell them each time u ask for the Original certificate, they always ask u to come back another day. They promise to contact u when the Certificate is out. Believe me, u cant alter WAEC certificate, not when the mistakes is from u, and even if the mistake is from them, bro, it will take sometime to be rectified. I hope this helps. One Love bro!
 
Thanks for your immense contribution. The result in question is of 1999 May/June and 'am combining it with waec 1999 Nov/Dec. I just got the certificate for both and found that 1999 May/June date of birth, that is, day, month and year are outrageous to the real one.

I've yielded to experience forumite on board to get the on-net copy which I have done.
Thanks once again!

Meanwhile, I am slated for interview on 5th January, 2012 but it is quite obvious that I wont be able to make it on that day. This is due to my wife whom is writing her MBBS examination on that day. I had mailed the appropriate quarters (LagosIV@state.gov and smart core) but I have been contemplating on going on that day alone if the sent mail is not replied before the day (5th Jan.) or wait outright for the reply.

In this thought, I called Nigeria embassy and explained the rigors. The man in his huge voice said, I don't need to come, while the mail would be attended to. He said many are absent on their appointment date and the embassy knows that such applicants would reschedule their appointment.

Please forumites, had anybody experienced this, if so, how was is solved.
More so, should I go to embassy on the 5th January if there is no respond of the sent mail or I should absolutely rely on the mail to be replied and go on the rescheduled date.

Your prompt respond would be appreciated.

Best regards,

Tonnyblue
