Thanks so much for the info. The thing is she’s a military officer, they were supposed to go on a deployment back in September. However, the deployment was postponed owing to their ship not being ready, which made her request for an expedite on our case. The expedite was accepted and our case was approved on the 30th of September 2019 and sent to the NVC , now their ship is ready and deployment is for the 18th of this month, she will be on sea until March (Hopefully).

My questions is 1. She might have difficulty accessing the internet as often as she will want to, so when we talked to the NVC about the situation, they advised we call the embassy and explain our situation. I want to know the appropriate channel to reach and if i can call them or it’s best my fiancée call from there.

2. I did my police report last month and it expires in 3months which is January. Will it still serve?

3. Our case according to NVC has gone through administrative processing and will be sent to their Embassy in Lagos, at least that was what they said 2weeks ago, but nothing still shows whenever i track it. So I worry that i might not be able to find an interview date for January.

4. Does the embassy expedite interviews?

I hope i was able to elaborate properly for a better understanding on our situation??

Thanks.

Affidavit of support, pay stubs, spinsterhood certificate, reciept of our ring, payment reciept of our wedding hall, invitation card, call logs, chats, pictures, Birth cert, medicals, police report, is there any other thing to go with? Mekusa said I should print email asking for extension, and the reply from them also.

brownesugar:


Pls my brother what was the response you gave to the CO when asked why not marry in Nigeria?or do you know the best kind of response to this question?thank you

Sukey:
.

We did engagement ooo,remember I said these things a couple of weeks ago,that’s why I was asking you if it’s okay to get it from my local government or from ikoyi but I was able to get the affidavit and the certificate,I’m just a wee bit paranoid about the authenticity of it all

Glorioussugar:



In this case, what can one present? I’m worried �

Glorioussugar:



Mekusa this is why I’m paranoid �����

I went to the DHL in Abuja they told me my package is in Lagos. The CO gave me the white paper circled the VI office for collection ,was just surprised I got a text it's available for pick up where I filled during my application.

Pls @legitBachelor was the guy denied based on the fact that he posted on Visa journey vj or on the count of another thing?
@@legitBachelor i once wrote u on this thread sometime last month as regards my approved k1 petition/waiting on the lagos embassy to write when they are ready for final processing of the petion,they eventually wrote my fiance 28th october that they are ready for processing and i should quickly make payment for the visa fee and must attempt to schedule appointment with validity period of the 129f pettion as it hve 4months validity at post and co,immediately two days after did the necessary and tried scheduling appointment could even get a available slot(app date)i kept checking every morning noon and night until a 6th January date pop up had to quickly pick it before no date pops up/jan gets filled up again.. my fear now is my petiton validity expires dec 21st and my appointment is jan 6th,hve written the lagos consulate via email and automated response replied me with diff options and that my querry lld be responded to in 5/7 working days.. my question now is do we have anyone or know anyone here with similar case who attended the interview after expiration and the date was given the visa,what were the documents asked for to show the person is qualified or justified for a date extension on the petition?how the interview went and co?thanks @legitBachelor

Hey guys, so it turns out my fiancée will be going on deployment come the 18th of this month, meanwhile our case is still at the NVC even after they said it has passed their administrative process. Now they encouraged my fiancée to call the embassy and explain the situation to them as she won’t be available to send me her paystubs for November and December, plus our case will expire on the 26th of January.

My question is, is there a number i can call? Because we’ve sent an email over 5days ago and no response yet. @Legitbachelor @Sukey @Sharpman1 @drenimarcus and others i couldn’t mention.FYI pleasee

Sukey:


I thought the same too,maybe they just decided to be crazy on that day,so in my case,I just went there the day before my medicals to see things for myself and cos I’m not familiar with Lagos,I wanted to know the place so I’m not looking for it the next day and when I got there in the evening,I asked the lady at the counter and she said and I quote ‘you have to book an appointment for your screening’ and I was like that’s not what I read online and she told me that the next available appointment is 10am tomorrow so I got there around after 9 and they asked me if I have an appointment and I asked them if it was necessary,they said yes, ‘we can’t screen you if you don’t have an appointment’ I just told them my name, they checked a paper and Asked me to take a sit.

https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/723534-validity-of-k1-approved-i-129f-petition/

That's the same response they sent to the fellow I said was denied.

sharpman1:
Saw this on Visajourney so i thought i should share since it's a recurring issue here:

Post by K1 beneficiary:

Hello everyone, I recently booked my interview appointment at the US embassy in Lagos Nigeria on 16th October hoping to get an earlier date before my approved I-129f becomes invalid which is going to be December 5th, unfortunately, the earliest date I got happened to be December 18th which means my approved case would have become invalid by then.

i wrote the embassy requesting for an expedite date or a validity extension and here is their reply...

We advise you should attend your interview appointment as scheduled. During your interview, you should present documents/evidence to the Consular officer to show that you qualify and justify why the petition should be extended. In order to qualify for a K-1 visa, the beneficiary/applicant must convince the Consular officer that he or she has a bona fide spousal relationship with the petitioner. The decision to extend the validity of the petition will be at the discretion of the interviewing officer. However, if you are unprepared for this interview it is not likely the petition will be extended.

So guys.....if your interview is outside your validity.....make sure you are prepared for the interview. Go with every or any document that will prove your case. Think outside the box. Go with primary and secondary evidence. You don't want them asking for a document and you having to tell them it is at home.

Success to everyone.

Sukey:


Actually,you need to book an appointment contrary to popular opinion,I had to go there a day to my medicals in my case but you can always call them but they’ll most likely send you back if you don’t have an appointment cos they brought out a paper of the people that were booked for that day on the day I went for my medicals

gladeria:
Please I don't really understand the info on the link you sent .someone said something about requesting 1year validity. Do you mean it's still valid even if three months have passed?please Don't be angry with my question, I don't wanna make mistakes

gladeria:
Hi everyone, My interview is first week of January but I did my police clearance in September (thinking I will get an earlier date) so please is it still valid for the interview or should I get another one cause it's written valid for three months.

Glorioussugar:
The appointment confirmation I got in my email has only one barcode . The UID, with 8 numbered under it.

And the ds160 confirmation I got has one barcode too. With about 10 numbers under it. Starting with alphabet.

So when I called them, they sent an email to me . Appointment confirmation email. And the email has both barcodes in it. So I’m confused . Because it’s still the same barcodes and numbers I got earlier, but just that they now put both on the same page. ( appointment confirmation page)

Treasureprince1:
baba, I know this my question is still early, abeg what about people like me wey no get medical history or immunization record, the medical go still take place abi?

Omokaba2019:
Good evening my people.I want to go for my medical exam next week,can anyone help me with the medical fee at Qlife family clinic.Do I need to book an appointment or go any day??

Dutchleez:


Same with mine. Ds160 and appointment confirmation barcodes are on same page but different barcodes.
The lady I spoke with said I’m good that way and it doesn’t have to be the same.

Glorioussugar:


Yes I called it out for the lady

Glorioussugar:


Yes I’ve submitted it. Both has barcodes but different numbers. I called, and the same thing was still sent to my email

Sukey:
@legitbachelor,do you have an idea if there’s any way I can verify the authenticity of a bachelors certificate,I went to the ikoyi registry and it was ready within two days but the way those people were behaving and tossing me around,I was suspecting a foul play.make them no go give me fake certificate,I go just pass out.

Glorioussugar:
The barcode has different numbers. I called and they sent me an email. Still with different numbers

Glorioussugar:


I’ve checked I can’t find it

Glorioussugar:
Please which number do I call? My appointment confirmation is different from d160 barcode

Sukey:



Actually,it does.i was asked to fill my previous work experience,travel history and education background.i just put I graduated at so so date and I’ve been unemployed since then.and I’ve never been out of the country before so I didn’t have to fill all that part

Study4life:
Thanks everyone that assisted me.
I called the Embassy, I was told that the expiration date on the petition means that one must secured an interview date before the expiration date, that it doesn't mean that one must be interviewed before that date.
If anyone didn't secure any date before the expiration, the approval becomes invalid.

The Embassy also gave me CGI to call for correction of the mismatch between my Ds-160 form barcode and my appointment confirmation code. The CGI also corrected it and sent it to my mail of which I have printed.

blazerichy:
That's not normal its meant to show please review what you are filling very well before you sent , its either you clicked on something which says you are employed or you are self-employed even with that it still shows you a column to fill in the details of your employment

Glorioussugar:


When you filled your form, did you also fill previous work experience and school attended? I didn’t see that column in my form

Glorioussugar:
Please is this answer ok for this question?
