So why didn’t you guys plan your wedding after then?
So why are you getting married in the us?
Share with me your wedding plans?
Share with me your wedding plans? Do you guys have a tentative plan at hand?if yes,do you mind sharing please

How did you answer these questions ma’am?

Because now I’m getting paranoid,so cos of family pressure and all,we had to do our traditional engagement and my fiancée had to come to Nigeria in March and it was a very big one to be honest,it went from just inviting family members only to more than 1000 people coming and we were very specific about it even in the invitation that it was just traditional engagement but people were printing ‘happy married life’ souvenirs here and there and there was nothing we could do about it,we made sure that no bride price was paid as well so my question is what do you think I should do and would a certificate of bachelorhood help my case?

@legitbachelor,what do you think,please give me advice

Hi LegitBachelor, I hope you are doing great over there. So I have filled out the DS-160 form and also printed out my confirmation page but like i said my AA number is different from what I have on my appointment letter. That's where I am now . So at this stage do I call the Lagos embassy for them to rectify the number issue on their system so when I am going its already settled up ?

Yes. call the customer service number and tell them your situation. They should make the correction and send another appointment letter to your email.

Just answer the questions truthfully if asked.

For example.....i expect that you know why you did not plan your wedding after your fiance came to Nigeria.

Also.....i expect you know why you are getting married in the US and you know what your own wedding plans are......no one can answer that for you. Everyone's circumstance is different and we should watch out for contradictions in the answers we give.

Just like Sharpman1 said, be truthful and be confident. As long as you are saying the truth you have nothing to fear.

The evidence that proves you guys are not married can help. You can get written letter from your parents and your woman's parents that no bride price was paid. You can also get the bacherlorhood certificate, if you can. All these is just to prove your case.

Don't worry about Trump. As long as your love is real, nothing else matters.

The difference between Fiancee and Spouse visa is that Fiance will make you be with your wife within a shorter timeframe while Spouse visa will make you get your greencard within a shorter timeframe. So you guys should decide what's best for both of you.

I did not engage my woman when she visited me. is it compulsory that I engage her before i file for K1 visa? Will it reduce my chance of getting a visa

Not those questions bro,I’m talking about the bachelorhood certificate thing,I just didn’t know how to remove that part when I was going to ask the question

Okay. Just go with anything that proves you are single.......but don't go with any traditional engagement pictures.
The bachelorhood certificate will be helpful.....you can ask how to obtain it.....but make sure you obtain from the original source.
Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by sharpman1(m): 9:02pm On Oct 17, 2019
Just a word of advice to everyone:

If you need to submit any document.....birth certificate, divorce certificate, marriage certificate, etc.....please ensure you obtain the document by yourself and ensure that it is the original. If you did not obtain it by yourself find a way to verify its authenticity if that is possible.

I have a dear friend that submitted the divorce certificate obtained from his ex-wife. They have been divorced for a while (over 5 years) and his ex-wife has moved on and remarried but he did not really participate in the divorce proceedings so got the divorce documents from his wife.

He submitted all for his K1 petition which was approved and also took the original divorce certificate for his interview. After the interview, additional documents were requested for which he submitted. After waiting for a long time without any response from the consulate, his fiance got her senator involved to ask what was causing the delay.

The consulate responded that the divorce certificate he submitted is a counterfeit and as such they denied his visa.

So please ensure you obtain your documents (divorce certificate, police report, etc) yourself and from the right place.

He said it will be ready for pick up in 2 weeks .He basically asked me many questions about the petitioner (my fiancee).You have to know the dates of her arrival and exit into the country,he asked about places we've been to,where I met her,her work place and where she had worked previously and many more which I really do not remember .Though I have been denied B1B2 twice and it really do not have effect on my K1 visa issuance ..I think the only time it might affect your K1 application is when you tell lies in your previous visa applications

I think you can only check 4 times in 24 hours so be careful not to get locked out again and yes,the December dates are filled up so January will probably come out soon and maybe an earlier date would pop up too.

Thank you Legit

LegitBachelor:
Yes you can wait. Your k1 visa interview date might not even be possible this year anyways.

However I advice you should be proactive with the us embassy guys concerning your casefile. Keep tracking it on the website I had provided earlier. Once it says your casefile is READY, you can do an email to the us embassy (LagosIV@state.gov) requesting your Packet. Once you get the go ahead from them (hopefully you'll get the go ahead before your casefile expiry date), you can then schedule the earliest available date which most probably will be around January or February.

I did mine in the Local Government office close to where I lived. I also learnt it can be done at the Ikoyi Marriage Registry.

It costs around 15 to 20K, I think, to get It done at the Local Government Office. I was told it could get close to 40K at the Ikoyi Marriage Registry.

In addition to what I posted earlier, there's also another way in which you can monitor your portal homepage without having to go to the appointment page and thus exceeding the maximum number of allowed visits.

It's called check4change and it's recommended to use the app with Mozilla Firefox.

If you want to do it with a Local Government, I think it makes sense to do it in the local government close to where you reside. This is because they are in a better position to attest that you are single since you reside close to them. However if you want to do it with a marriage registry, then I'll recommend the Ikoyi Registry as they have good relationship with the embassy thus they can easily be contacted by the embassy to verify your document.

No. I don't think you can use your phone. Its only done on the computer. Your computer needs to be always on and connected to the internet. Also your ustraveldocs portal page should not be closed.

Yes. And just as Drenimarcus advised, don't check for dates again until after 12 midnight.

The next time you visit your ustraveldocs portal, I advice not to click on the New Application/ Schedule Appointment link until you see a date. For more guidance on this, see my previous post on this here: https://www.nairaland.com/4800968/usa-fiancee-k1-visa-thread/47#80809392
