You think so? Hehehe. Just surround yourself with what makes you happy, pray constantly and try to live a day at a time, also assure yourself that everything will be fine especially when you start feeling negative. And like I said earlier, I haven't seen much people talk about it but the most relatable Nigerian YouTube video I have seen is this one: Just search for "Our Journey K1 visa" they are in their NVC stage but they still didn't talk much about the waiting time, you know like how it really felt waiting, what to do while waiting, how they braced up for 8 months USCIS processing time and all. But like I earlier mentioned, I sure will write or talk about mine when it's time.

Good morning, can you please share the YouTube link. I think I might need it more than you at this time......lol

Hi guys, I thought it would be nice to share my timeline here with y’all, as I’ve been a silent follower of this thread.

We filed December 2019, case was approved and sent to NVC April 2020, but Pandemic delayed us till May 2021 before it reached Lagos embassy.

Here’s my interview transcript and point of entry experience.

I interviewed August 18th 2021.

I got there around past 6am and waited till after 6:30 before they could pass us in.

After getting in, I was called and they asked for my attestation of birth, affidavit of support and tax transcripts, along with all the interview documents( DS160 and the likes). Afterwards she asked me to sit and will be called. Here; the lady asked for my petitioner’s number and asked for my marriage certificate, knowingly on their record that I’ve never been married�.

Interview;

It was a white lady in window 14, she asked me to take an oath and took my finger prints.

Then she asked;

Who petitioned for you?

So tell me how you guys met?

When did you both start talking?

When did you decide on starting a relationship?

When was your first meeting?

Where does your fiancé live?

What does she do?

What’s her job description?

Where is her place of work?

What does her work name means?

Does your fiancé live alone?

Has she ever been married?

Does she have kids?

Have you ever been married?

Have you ever been out of Nigeria?

What country did you visit?

How long did you stayed for?

What were you doing then?

Have you ever been arrested or committed any crime?

What’s your wedding plan?

Where do you plan to live when you get there?

What’s the time difference now?

…….. Your documents looks okay, I will be approving your Visa… Kindly note, you can’t marry in Nigeria while on this Visa and have to marry within 90days of your arrival in the US.

Congratulations and all the best.

By the way, it took 12days for my Visa to be issued.

POE: On getting to the Immigration at the US point of entry, a lady took my packet and passport, after opening the packet, I saw my medical and her tax transcript with our filling documents, then asked where my fiancé is, I told her she’s on her way to pick me up, then she stamped my passport and wrote 1 of 1 entry on the Visa.

After that, she then took me to the waiting room for processing, where I was processed and the immigration officer asked for the address I would be staying, at that point my head went blanked��, I told him the city and state…. But he needed a proper address, thank God I had it saved on my fiancé’s contact in my phone, so I pulled out my phone and showed him…… Then he typed it on the system and returned my passport saying; welcome to the United State Of America, please do enjoy your stay.

Then I left there, only to see my luggages waiting for me to claim them�.

Overall, I didn’t spend 20min with immigration and baggage claim.

PS: @treasureprince, this is Funmi’s fiancé (Anthony, Gina)✌�✌�✌�

Update!!!

Filed for my AOS on September 29th and got NOA1 for October 4th, biometrics appointment letter was sent on October 9th, did my biometrics on November 1st.

Now the wait continues.

I wish everyone on the waitlist both at NVC or AOS all the best.

All You need is an updated documents of what you submitted to USCIS at filing stage which includes proves of ongoing relationship (recent chats, phone records either regular or FaceTime prior to interview, recent Visit if any)

Marriage Letter of intent both from you and your petitioner, dated and signed.

Either Tax transcripts or W2 for 2019 and 2020 is fine.


All the best.

The current processing time for EAD, AP and AOS after biometrics is around 5-7months, so let’s be hopeful it get to us sooner than expected.

I went to Dubai in November 2018 with a 3 months tourist visa and started working in Dubai after I got my employment visa and got my residency. I only worked in Dubai for 5 months before coming back to Nigeria. I came back to Nigeria in July 2019. Please do I need to get police clearance from Dubai and how do I go about please?

I had my interview today and was approved at the spot. Can't even express my joy, for like 30 mins after my interview I thought I was dreaming, after all my preparation the vo didn't even ask for any documents. It can only be God.....

I almost missed my appointment for 8:30 because I got there 8:25 because of traffic but na God pass them. After I pass security I was called inside to window 3 to submit my documents to a black lady - ds 160, birth certificate, police certificates (Senegal and Nigeria) passport style photo and W-2 forms(2020), petitioner divorced certificate, visa payment receipt, then the lady took my passport and told me to wait, after 30 the VO white guy in his 30s, called my name. This is how it went.

VO -
what is your name?
How did you meet?
When did you meet?
Has she visited?
When did she visit?
So you proposed to her when she visited?
Has she made a second trip?
Me: we actually planned a second visit last year but due to codvid it was not possible. (VO typing in the computer for about 2 mins)
VO-
How long have you been in Senegal?
What is your work?
Does she has kids?
Does the kids live with her?
Have you spoken to her kids?
(VO typing in the computer again for about 3 mins)
How do you communicate?
What is your fiance address?
Where are you going in the United States?

Then the magic words follow : come back next week to pick up your visa, he then gave me a ticket. Hurrayyyyyy. Through the interview the VO did not ask for any documents.

Tip: never cease to pray, be confident and maintain good eye contact.
Thanks to everyone here that has contributed immersely to this course for there comments and advices.

you need to be a little more patient because covid 19 created a lot of backlogs, the last time i asked i-129f cases that were approved in November 2020 are currently being shipped to the embassy in Lagos, hopefully things will start moving faster soon. All the best to you
