Hello,
I'm a Kenyan lady in my mid twenties, a lawyer by profession.
Nigeria is one African country I've always had in my travel bucket list and I would love to visit in November.
What is the approximate amount I should have to enjoy a one week visit. What is the standard of living over there?
Which hotels would you recommend so I can check online?
Is it better to visit Abuja or Lagos?

Womenrep:



Hello, sorry for the late response. After the approval, it will take about 2-3 weeks to get an e-mail from your local embassy with a list of interview requirements. The email may be sent to you, or your fiance, you should both keep checking. After you receive the email, you can schedule an interview appointment and do your medical examination. You will fill a form Ds 160, have 5 passport photographs, birth certificate, police clearance certificate.

chudu:
you can also visit portharcourt

Philtrik:

I don't think Port-Harcourt is a suitable place for a foreigner to visit at this time.

Madam, sorry to bother you, I saw your comment on the Immigrant section and I thought I could get an insight from you/someone who has gone through this process I am about to embark on. My spouse is about to file for me as an immigrant to the US, I know cases are different but from your own case, how long did it from the process of submission to the time your application was approved, also time of approval to scheduling of interview ? Thanks as I look forward to read from you.

Hello, sorry for the late response . Mine was a k1 visa, fiance visa that is, we aren't married yet. My fiance filed the petition in March, got the Notice of Application 1 in April. We got the NOA2 after 5 months, first week of September. The application was sent to my local embassy after two weeks, and an email sent to me with a list of required documents for my interview. I scheduled my medical examination appointment, unfortunately the listed medical center in my country handles immigration medical examination for many countries, USA, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, AUSTRIA, so my medical appointment came like three weeks later. I filed form Ds 160 online and scheduled my interview, again, the earliest available date was like a month and weeks later, that is 28th November(Next week) . The embassy in Nairobi serves most East African contries, so it's always booked. The mistake I did was schedule my interview appointment after medical examination. You can schedule an appointment even before you do the medical examination, to save on time. That is approximately nine months since the first day of filling the petition. It can be 7-8 months.

Oh! Thank you so much for the detailed step by step information. I wish you all the best in your interview.

Womenrep:


You are welcome. Is there anything you'd like to know before your trip?

Itstyme:


Yay!!! Congratulations!!! Long wait but worth it at the end.

Ishilove:

No matter where you go, DO NOT pass through Iyana-Dopemu/Iyana Ipaja/Cement/Mongoro axis.

I repeat, DON'T pass through the aforementioned otherwise you will fall ill and regret coming to Nigeria.

Faymike:


Where is the best area for tourist ?
What is the possibility of getting Nigerian food

Womenrep:


For tourism I would say Mombasa and Malindi are the best towns, Coastal Region of Kenya.
However, if you want to see animals like most tourists come for, Nakuru and Naivasha are the best places, they are one hour apart...Two hours drive from Nairobi town. You can visit Maasai Mara.
If you want to experience the City life, then Nairobi is the place, I see many Nigerians in Nairobi.
Thanks a lot
You will get Nigerian food in Nairobi, Mama Ashanti restaurant.

You are welcome. I will advice you chose Lagos for vacation. U can look booking.com to book a hotel... Everything you want to spend depend on you. Do you know someone in Lagos to take you round the city. Do research to see where to visit and interesting things to see
