Please, guys, i need advice here
Can I print the chats Instagram, Whatsapp chats, call records on black and white ink? Or does it have to be in colored ink?

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.

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.

I believe the CO wants to be sure you are not currently married hence the admin processing to give them time to investigate.

Did the CO return your passport?

If yes, you would be required to drop your passport when the CO is satisfied.

If No, you will be asked to pick it up when the CO is satisfied.

Send an email if you don't hear from them after the 30 days as stated by the CO.

It has nothing to do with your siblings.

capello1:



Was there any reason for the CO to suspect you are married? Maybe an engagement party or introduction done ? It's obvious the CO thinks you are married to your fiancee or married to someone else. People marry and still file for Fiancé visa instead of Spouse

zada:
@Capello1, I really cannot phantom why? He would have thought I was married. I don’t look that matured or too hard looking. We are not married yet, but have this natural close bond that we are so comfortable around each other. She filled for me using a lawyer and I have been the one on this end paid my visa fees and medicals. We just have this understanding both emotionally and financially that we support each other. She has been quite emotionally disturbed by this outcome. I just op they finish investigation on time. @Capello1, does it really take that long? For the investigation to be finished. Cos our lawyer sent a mail to the embassy regarding the papers they gave me and the response was I will be contacted once the process is finished. Am just confused as we are already making arrangements for the court wedding in the US.

Ajibade16:

Embassy dont care if your print out comes in colored or black and white all they want to see is to convince them that you have a genuine relationship with your alien spouse/fiancée

Thanks .. Also, the police report can I get it done now while I wait for NVC ?

abisolaarshow:


I'm really sorry about the doubt, I hope they resolve it soon

zada:

quote author=Omokaba2019 post=82350441]Good afternoon house ,I got a message from the NVC that my petition has been sent to US Consulate in Lagos. Should I wait for the Embassy before I start doing anything?.

Glorioussugar:






What are the questions he asked you during the interview?

capello1:
I hope not having a fixed date planned to get married isn't a problem ? One cannot make any serious plans without having a visa yet.

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.

abisolaarshow:
No. Gave me the form and I signed and returned back to the CO. Then gave the two white forms. Which I sent to our lawyer for clarification.

I guess the form is a new addition.

For those preparing for interview, A tip that I think helped, look at the interviewer's eyeballs while taking the oath and with all sincerity. I'm not sure I was able to look at his eyeballs after the oath, was too busy concentrating on answering the questions. lol
If you can look throughout,double plus for you.

Glorioussugar:
Please do I need my parents death certificate for my interview? Also is the affidavit of support form up to 8 pages?

abisolaarshow:


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

Glorioussugar:


Thank you dear. Did you also submit your attestation of birth with the affidavit for age declaration?

Glorioussugar:
Please how did you print WhatsApp chats/ calls?

Had a lot of ish , but finally sailed through, it's been God's grace all along. Hopefully my interview would be a success.

@abisolaarshow, Big Congrats to you.

My interview is fixed for next month, I have some few questions please.....

1a. I was born before 1992 and I have with me, local government birth certificate. Would I need to get the NPC birth certificate at surulere? If yes, how much does it cost.

1b. I also read somewhere that they don't give NPC birth certificate to those born before 1992, only birth attestation, please enlighten me on these.

2. Would I be needing affidavit of birth?lost on this discussion in d previous threads.

3. The police report goes for how much at alagbon, please?

4. Where can I get the spinsterhood certificate? And how much ?

Pls guys help a sister!!! .
@glorioussugar @abisolaarshow @legitbachelor

More inputs from everyone are welcome

Thanks in addy!!! Your NPC birth certificate or attestation is required and the cost depends on how fast u want it, if u understand what I mean. Averagely expect between 10 and 15k. Lastly, I was born in the early 80’s but was giving the attestation. For Question 2: The NPC cert. or attestation covers that, but for u to make a request for the NPC cert. or attestation u will require one, which will be returned to u with the NPC cert. Question 3: The cost depends on your bargaining strength, did mine about 8k and u get it same time as u walk in after all finger prints have been taken from u. Finally, for your last question: if your interview is for k1 I don’t think u need one, cos it’s not on the interview list requirements. I was told to do one, but I ended up just doing a sworn affidavit of bachelorhood which was not even looked at during my interview. For k1 I doubt if needed.
