Baahubali: After scheduling my K1 visa Interview,the confirmation came out with the old DS-160 number which I used in my B2 application some years back.
I already messaged support@ustraveldocs.com and support-nigeria@ustraveldocs.com to see if they would rectify it.
No response yet. Calm down bro, you already asked on visa journey. You will get answers |

wendiescakes: Good morning , visa interview was today , and thank God I and my daughter were approved. Interview questions weren’t much , right after the security checks we waited for like 45 mins before I was called, a white lady interviewed us , firstly she asked me to take the oath on behalf of me and my kid, she asked who petitioned for us, how did you meet him?,what type of wedding did you have?, who attended the wedding (told her and she asks about my hubbys parents told her they were not based here), she asked if my parents attended (told her just my dad) then she goes on to ask for hubbys current job, his former job,then she asks for pictures(showed her then she further asks again that okay I thought you said your mum attended d wedding and I still said no, she goes on to ask where my husband stays in the us and how many times he has visited, and then I heard the magic words, wasn’t even listening to the rest , she gave me d white paper and I left. Thanks so much to everyone in this forum , you all are blessed Congratulations!! |

If I don't get an interview date, please what do I do? As the expiry date is 18th Feb. You can book an appointment with Qlife for medicals but I think you need an interview date before you can do your medicals(will leave this for those who have gone through the process already). You can always extend the duration of your case. Contact the embassy and tell them you wanna extend the date of your case. Oya djfrancis and legitbachelor you guys are needed |

LegitBachelor: I noticed that the DHL Pickup Centre in Victoria Island is the only pickup centre provided on the white form given me.
I had chosen Isolo as my desired pickup centre as its closer to me. But I'm made to understand that Isolo is not applicable for Immigrant Visa. So I'll have to "travel" once again to the Island to get my passport. I had traveled there for my medicals and also traveled there for my interview. It's well  Lol baba na travel mode you don deh o.

Just to add a little bit. These embassies already know which relationship is genuine or not. They already made their researches and all. Try to know more about your partner and all important stuff. Congratulations once again Legitbachelor!. No comot for here o, we still need your help.  |

LegitBachelor: Guys, I was approved!!!
I'm so grateful to God for his mercies and blessings. The interview in itself was very brief. None of my documents or pictures was checked during the interview proper. Was just asked questions on dates. Questions like.....when did we started talking, when did we see each other in person, when did I propose. It was a smooth sail compared to the way others were grilled.
There were over 40 of us, but only 2 (that I'm aware of) were outrightly denied. Several were placed on administrative processing (visa wasn't denied though). They were given back their passport and requested to provide additional information before their visa can be issued. However many were approved at the spot and their passport retained for visa stamping.
Even though my interview time was short, I was there from 5am till 12noon. This is despite the fact that my appointment time read 6am . The reason for this was because they gave priority to family members with little kids and elderly so they gave them numbers before me even though I came before them. Also another reason for the delay was because only 2 consular officers were interviewing us. Before each interview, the consular officer will go through the file thoroughly before he or she calls the applicant. It was a tiring wait but a fruitful one and I bless God for everything.
My advice to those going for the interview, just be yourself. You have nothing to fear as long as your relationship is genuine. Your fiance/petitioner, who is an American citizen, has every right to love and get married to anyone of his or her choice, whether a fellow citizen or an alien.
So relax, your fiancee chose you, so you will get the visa. Just get all your documents and commit everything to God. Congratulations brother! Really happy! To all those in waiting line, may we all be congratulated in Jesus nme, AMEN |

He owns a company in aviation,he was contacted by United Nation to give quotations of some projects thats why he wasn't around. Good morning, don’t over work yourself okay? You got this. Being approved by USCIS and at the embassy is 2 different things. Uscis Approves petition, embassy grants visa. So far you know your fiancé well, you good to go. You got this |

nextlevel2222: If they think like that I dnt what to do tell them. Se they dnt know that in Nigeria we have engagement ceremony and Marriage ceremony. How can someone marry without spouse present?
More so, the introduction pictures is what my fiancee used to file for the petition over there. Thats part of what he use to show bona-fide relationship between us for the petition and it was approved. Going to interview without the pictures of the introdution my fiancee used during the filing of the petition will look somehow? What do you think? Yes these embassies know all the cultures of each country they are in. You can’t blame them, some people try to beat the system by getting married and then filing for K1 to get their respective spouses faster. Like I said, him not being present could sway things to your favor because he is not present. Just tell them it’s an engagement ceremony. And pray sister. I wish good luck but he rest assured, you got this. |

nextlevel2222: Large one but my fiancee was not around, only his family were present. We only put his photograph beside me.
Will they still count that as Marriage with him not present? Yes, the embassy will think you guys are “too married”. But with him not present could sway things in your favor. Just pray. |

select500: For her to stay for seven days is not too bad. How long have you guys been communicating before now? You need to save all those Chat Logs and FaceTime you have both done. There some people that got their Fiancee Visa with just one visit. Some cannot visit more than 1 time due to work and school schedules. But as long as your relationship is genuine, you should be good to go. Also, remember not to do any official ceremony when she visits, if you are going to file for the K-1 Visa. Cheers! You are right. No official ceremony and no matching of outfits too. |

Please you know anyone that has successfully got the k-1visa on a short visit between the partners involved? Like I said, the embassy checks or looks for red flags in every relationship. From my experience, she should spend more time or come back again on a second visit to strengthen your case. Think about it, you met someone for 7 days and you get enagaged and file. My advice is, she should wait before filing, come back for a second visit or file and come back for a second visit. Visit visajourney.com, you will get more info |

This is actually our first meeting and we intend to get her engaged. After that she returns to file for the fiance visa. Please do you think I might have a hard time at the embassy regarding we haven't had so much FaceTime together? Please guys advice me. Thanks. It depends, stuffs like massive age difference, difference in religion are red flags the embassy looks for. For me, 7 days is too short, ensure enough FaceTime and take lots of pictures with your friends and family if possible. What the embassy looks for is a bonafide relationship. All the best and good luck |
