Yes,between the 18-23 I think,I have no idea why it’s like that too,no earlier dates have popped up,do you use the check for change app?

Sukey:
@glorioussugar,have you been able to get another date?if yes,did you get a November or a December date?

LegitBachelor:
Is there any November or December (or even January or February!) date? If there is, I advice you choose it immediately. It's better to go for a november or december interview than to be disqualified and not be able to go at all for any interview.

Sukey:
I just checked my portal now and there are available dates for December,i have a date for late November and I’ve been checking everyday to see if I can get an earlier date and I’ve not been able to get one,how were you able to get an early date?

abisolaarshow:
Hello, I just got an approval today thank God.
Thanks to everyone on this thread especially @legit bachelor ,I wish every other applicant the best in their coming interviews.

Questions:

who petitioned for you
When did you meet
How did you meet
How long did he stay when he came to Nigeria
Have you ever been married
Do you have any kids
Has your fiance been married
Does he have any kids
How old is his daughter
What does he do for a living
What do you do for a living
When do you plan to get married
Why aren't you getting married in Nigeria.

And then he said he has every reason to grant me the visa and I was told to pick up my visa in 1-2 weeks.

Please, How soon did you guys get your visas after the interview cos I need to buy the ticket ASAP.

Also my medical report was not returned is that OK?

abisolaarshow:
No, I don't think you need your parents death certificate and yes the affidavit of support form is 8 pages

zada:
I feel it’s just to confirm the level of commitment to what you have sworn on ur affidavit, cos even the embassy has advised to avoid making concrete plans before visa is issued. I could hear the CO ask other applicants same questions.

zada:
Pls house I did my interview on 6th September 2019, after the interview questions the CO gave me two white papers. One was for immigrants rights and the other one states for further administrative process where the CO cancelled the official days on the form from 90 to 30days after writing my case number on form while stating if don’t hear from the embassy between my date of interview and the 30days mark. I should contact them via email. He had already told me that the visa is for me to travel and get married to my fiancé and that if am married it automatically disqualify me to use. And next thing he gave me the two papers. Am kind of confused as to reasons why he stalled my approval. Only thing on my mind was I suspect he was a bit uncertain about the new policy on sponsors, cos one of the interview question was how many siblings do I have? And told him. My question is 1. Does my siblings have any negative effects on the sponsor? 2. Is there a reason he reduced the further processing period from 90 to 30 days? Pls help to clear the air for me. Have been worried since then. Someone should pls help clarify things. Thank you.

Drenimarcus:
The embassy guys sometimes reply late, if you have done your medicals and have your police report and schedule your interview. You are good.

OK guys, i have been following up this thread for some time before I went for my interview yesterday being 13th Sept.

Actually my K1 visa was refused, but no slip was given to me, i don't know what it means, it is only my passport that was given back to me, the CO said he will write to uscic or fiancee and blah blah , that was all.

INTERVIEW WENT THIS WAY ;

After swearing an oath, CO asked...

Who is petitioned for me?

How did we meet?

Who is the mutual friend to her?

Who is the mutual friend to me?

When was the first time i met with my fiancee?

When did we start communicating?

Issue rose up when i told him how we started dating and communicating, he felt maybe my story was mumbo jumbo but it was real, upon I told him she has visilted Naija and blah blah, he told me my story wasn't making sense to him, he also asked if she was divorced, I told him 2 times , he requested for the certificate which I told him I have only 1 with me here but the other 1 divorce certificate was sent by my fiancee via USCIS, i gave him the one i had with me, the he returned it to me...He also asked the first time she came to US and how did she immigrate which I told him, as the interview was going on he was typing something on the system for long....Eventually, he told me that he isn't convinced if I have a bonafide relationship with my fiancee, that he will be refusing me K1 visa but he will write to either my fiancee or USCiS people, i can't remember which one again. He returned my passport, though he didn't check my proofs (call logs, chats and photographs) and he didn't give me any blue or white paper.

I am confused guys, does it mean my K1 visa was outrightly denied though he said "refused"....

Does it mean my case might go under Administrative processing or should i wait on what message they will send to my petitioner so that we can know our fate.

What is paining me right now, everything about me and my fiancee is genuine and legitimate..no fraud or fake thing, and we have waited for so long, invested a lot of energy, money , time and other resources, we were just waiting to hear the good news from CO but dude was kinda brutal, he denied almost half of K1 applicants that came for interview that day..we were 12 though but 4 people were denied before i left there, though some people were given or approved.

PS: Before you go for your K1 interview, make sure you know every detail about your relationship and your fiance/fiancee.
Be bold and confident, be consistent with what you are telling the CO...prepare your story well, don't allow any loophole or any form of discrepancy.

Pls guys, with your experience or anybody working with US embassy or CO, do i have hope in this matter? If eventually it doesn't work out, what's the time duration for CR1 category? How long does it take? Is there any way I can fastrack it. I am tired of staying along in Naija, I can't wait to join my woman, this is not issue of leaving naija for greener pasture, God has been faithful to me in naija too but there is nothing like staying close with the love of your life, this can be so frustrating.

I hope one or two Nairlanders will learn from my experience. I wish all the guys going for their K1 interview or preparing for it all the best of luck.

God bless you guys.

No, I'm the one sending the emails now. I got an auto response containing the instructions.

mekusa10:
Choice of words! I'm very sorry this happened to this him but I think he should have researched things on the form he wasn't clear about. I can tell you that my fiancee made the same mistake of putting "to provide me with board blah blah blah". Something little less convincing of showing financial commitment towards me, but of course she had no problems supporting me with any and everything. I was unsettled with her write up so I got digging. There's a right way to filing this legal docs. I lifted it. So i think the right word would have been to support him with everyting till citizenship or full time work, as the form says.

abisolaarshow:
Thanks a lot @ legitbachelor.

BTW, the Federal high court in Ikeja is no longer functional o, I went there today and still had to go to Ikoyi for my affidavit. Please take note house

abisolaarshow:
I think its between 8-10am.
Got there around past 8 and met so many people there already. Just 2 or 3 people came after me.

BTW, can anyone confirm this, the lady I met at the clinic said I don't need the appointment printout and I only needed the letter sent from the nvc with my case number

LegitBachelor:
You should do it in the Local Government close to where you reside here in Lagos.

LegitBachelor:
You can get it from your local government or from Ikoyi Registry. You can also swear an affidavit with a High Court. I did mine in the Local Government. Went there myself to make sure I wasn't given a fake. Paid 10,000 naira. Learnt doing it at the Ikoyi Marriage Registry is much more expensive (around 25,000 naira or thereabout).

But just as Select500 said, its not compulsory to get it for the Embassy interview as they may not ask for it. I got my bacherlood certificate at the very early stage and submitted a copy along with the i129F document. I took the original with me to the interview but it wasn't asked for at all during the interview. However if you have time on your hands then you can go get it (might take up to 2 weeks for it to be ready).

select500:
@Glorioussugar,

Yes, you can take your old passport if you wish.

You don't need a spinsterhood certificate for your interview. All the other evidences you have, should be enough proof to show that you are not yet married.

Have you gotten an interview date now?


Yes I’ve gotten date. Please I want to get the spinsterhood certificate. Where can I get it. Just want to go with every document I can get.

Cheers!

Are you on visajourney? If no, get on there, type and search for "letter of intent sample" in the search box. Basically you can find a whole world about immigration visa process with that tiny little box. It's crazy.
