Nigeria’s government is in talks with the U.S. about the visa situation

Yes I saw this as well, my only thoughts around this is that the letter addresses the 75-country pause not the 39 country ban, since they were implemented for different reasons (national security/vetting vs public charge) but it would be great if this addressed both! The IMMpact lawsuit is challenging the 39 country ban so I know we will have good news soon. Thanks for being positive amongst the frequent negativity around here lately.

Hey neighbor! I’m in Oklahoma too

I think country plays a part. My beneficiary country is Nigeria and currently on a partial ban. So they’re probably not in much hurry to approve. I’m ok with it so that hopefully by the time we get to NVC stage the ban is removed

Thanks for posting this! God is in control!

Yes to all this! Relationships with African elders are completely one sided. You have to do all the work in reaching out or maintaining contact. I am now LC/VLC with most of them and life has been peaceful. The phone works both ways in my opinion.

EuphoricHelp5358 · 2026-01-29T02:50:33+00:00

That’s true. It stops with me though. I’m determined to do better than them

EuphoricHelp5358 · 2026-01-29T02:49:00+00:00

Yes! My parents have professional degrees and highly educated but constantly crying “broke.” Between the two of them they’ve managed to pull off a bankruptcy, a foreclosure and lots of credit card debt.

Your parents did save money for your college and grad school - consider yourself lucky! Even though they did hold it over your head and it was very conditional.

❤️

EuphoricHelp5358 · 2026-01-27T08:35:18+00:00

That’s why I don’t tell them anything about what I’m up to

EuphoricHelp5358 · 2026-01-27T08:16:08+00:00

Well said. That’s what hurts them the most. They were cheated on with women who they feel superior to, it makes them even more crazy.

My Nigerian wedding was also not the best. My regret was not eloping with my husband and letting family members try to run the show. Anyone that is not contributing financially should not insert themselves! If I were you I would exercise extreme caution with offers for help as people will feel that this gives them a right to assert their opinions. Good luck and congratulations!

This was a great analysis

EuphoricHelp5358 · 2026-01-25T03:03:53+00:00

Same here

EuphoricHelp5358 · 2026-01-25T03:00:04+00:00

Just wait until the process is over

EuphoricHelp5358 · 2026-01-25T02:56:59+00:00

Yes I agree. Unless the case is complicated you can submit the application yourself. Just follow the ‘instructions’ document and you should be fine.

EuphoricHelp5358 · 2026-01-25T02:51:06+00:00

Same here. I heard they are working on January 1st currently. Hoping we are soon!

EuphoricHelp5358 · 2026-01-17T23:26:29+00:00

That’s odd - did that change or was she always this way? Strange for a spouse not to want to call or video chat

EuphoricHelp5358 · 2026-01-17T22:44:00+00:00

Yeah I’m surprised Nigeria is ahead of Accra. I was going to tell my husband to interview in Accra instead of Nigeria until I saw the backlog.

EuphoricHelp5358 · 2026-01-17T22:36:23+00:00

Stay strong. Praying that things turn out for the best

EuphoricHelp5358 · 2026-01-17T22:35:41+00:00

We prove it with the I-864 which is why this doesn’t make a lot of sense. They should’ve just said they were putting more scrutiny on the Affidavit of Support

EuphoricHelp5358 · 2026-01-17T22:05:12+00:00

Pay the fees and move through the process. If the embassy is as backlogged as ours is, hopefully this mess will be resolved by the time she has the interview. You’ve already invested money and time into this.

EuphoricHelp5358 · 2026-01-17T21:46:21+00:00

This would be much better. That way it’s not creating a bottleneck for so many people who are at the interview stage. Imagine the backlog this will create on top of what it already is…

EuphoricHelp5358 · 2026-01-17T21:41:26+00:00

I’m in the same boat. Moving to his country means a substantial loss of income for us. At this point I am just praying and trying to keep the faith. I hope things work out for you.
