It’s due to the pandemic, pre-pandemic it used to be 4-6months. let me briefly share my timeline

I filed December 2019, Case approved and sent to NVC in April 2020.

NVC didn’t send to Lagos until May 2021.

I know the waiting is crazy and depressing, but it would be best if you fix your mind at something else, and try to check your case once, every 2 weeks rather than everyday.

While you’re waiting, take your time to learn about the city/state you’re going to.

If you don’t know how to drive, please learn before leaving Nigeria as it would help you a lot prior to getting the Country’s driver’s license.

Furthermore, take your Nigeria International drivers license with you when coming.

To make your timeline fast, your petitioner can start making enquiries on availability of dates for wedding at the city clerk office, because it’s another long wait for AOS filing o, and you don’t want to be wasting time.

P.S; be sure of the time you’re going to be in the States before picking the date for wedding because your Visa permits you to be married within 90days of entering the states, and getting wedding date is an hassle. Otherwise, you must return to your home country.

Above all; stay safe and look after your health��

Nothing yet but hopeful it will happen soonest. NOA 1 March 17.

Perfecttouchade:
USCIS are currently working on march on march 15th and 22nd and also back to February applicants, some other march 17th filers got their NOA2 already, I think they are mostly attending to other countries and Nigeria beneficiaries are currently not been attended to due to some reasons known to them though. March Filers are many though but with the speed they started working recently hopefully March filers will be done with, that's if they don't go back to select from other remaining Jan & February filers. Funniest occurrence recently, most filers got multiple Noa2 notifications

Somalino:


I don't care how true this is, all I have to say is Thank you, you've rekindled my hope. The waiting time is depressing

Perfecttouchade:
U are welcome, I understand how depressing it is.

Somalino:

I tried sending you an email, did you get it?

Hey Nairalanders on this K-1 VISA thread, You guy really helped me prepare as a low key Guy..However alot of Nigerians developed this Fear for USA Embassy and I swear they were all nice and professional..Everybody dey say fast and pray Crazy..
Went for my interview Yesterday and it was like a walk in the Park..
Questions:
Imagine asking what's the Name of you Fiancee?
and Where she lives ? lmao
infact even if you did not know you can just say anything close or just say the Area you'd be fine..Omo come off it..

However some confusing happened..

I was missing a Police report of A country I had lived in before and The VISA officer said Congratulations on your Trip..and asked I go get that Police report..But she still gave me a white paper while saying Congrats (White O) ..I then asked the information lady she said I should provide that Document and then the VISA will be given..My own is why didnt they just give the VISA and asked me to provide the Doc later..

Also nobody Talks about when you get the Actual VISA stamped on ur Nigerian Passport. Thanks.

Good day everyone, please I need your advice. I have USA immigrant visa. Is it possible to go to another state in the US that is different from the address and state I used in my application and during my visa interview without negative effect at the port of entry in the US?
I intend to move from Nigeria to the US.

SmartJac:
Guys please did the NVC time frame change from 2-4 weeks for Nigerian K1 visa? Am not sure but someone posted on Visa journey that it takes 12 months from NVC to Embassy and that information sounds strange.

Airboy333:

Airboy333:

Donbisco2010:
Good evening I've been following this thread.. Please i met my fiancee for like six months now. Please are we eligible to apply for the K1 at this point of our relationship. Note, we've met once. The reason I ask is because I saw that one of the requirements is that we've must have been in relationship for 2 years but we apply. How true?

olamitunposi:


YES your port of entry matters.

Just to be clear, if the destination you filled on your DS160 is Texas, be sure your POE is in Texas or an airport that’s not more than an hour drive to the state you filled in your application. Only if it’s not your first time using that said VISA to gain entry into the US…. but if it’s the first time, please use the POE in your DS160.

Do not let anybody deceive you, you can be deported for this, I know someone who was.

Pardon my curiosity, why would you fly to a different state from your POE?

Treasureprince1:
before covid, cases take just days at NVC before they’re shipped to the Lagos embassy, i think it takes several months now for them to ship cases to lagos embassy because of the backlogs caused by covid. Please hang in there. Las las you go dey alright. All the best to you

Treasureprince1:
For those of us currently going through the k1 process, i know the timeline is now crazy, please hang in there. Covid-19 really messed up the timeline. A journey of 5-7 months precovid now takes several months. I’m so sure everything will be fine. All the best to everyone of us
