Study4life:
I got a response from the Embassy today.
Their response is smiliar to what sharpman posted.

That their advise is that I should attend my interview as scheduled. During my interview, I have to present documents/evidence to the consular officer to show that I am qualified and justify for my petition to be extended.

In order for me to qualify for K1 visa, I must convinced the CO that my relationship with my fiancee is a bona fide one.

The decision for my petition to be extended be will be at the discretion of the CO

That I must be prepared, if I am not prepared for the interview, is unlikely that the CO will extend the petition..


My people that's their response

Glorioussugar:


AMEN OOOOOOO,
We were able to pick the dates they made available for us.


Now we have to start fasting and prayer to find Favour on that day. God help us.

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

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.

dicsnemma:
Nobody gave a response to my issue oo. Abi i done commit?? Please oo. Capello and Co. Help a brother out

Drenimarcus:



Yup.

capello1:


Thanks @ Drenimarcus , I thought I could only pick up in lagos, I was surprised they mentioned Abuja even though that was where I chose to pick it up in the application.

LegitBachelor:
That's crazy. Maybe they were overwhelmed on that day. Generally it's preferable to go there very early. I went there by 7am or thereabout and dropped my name with security. Perhaps those who came later in the day will be sent back or asked if they have an appointment.

Sukey:


Maybe so,and there’s one other thing,do they usually send the result to the embassy or the applicant comes to pick it up cos they told us to come pick up our X-ray result that they’ll send the rest to the embassy,is that the normal practice?

Glorioussugar:


In qlife? That’s not the normal practice. I was given my result.

Sukey:



Did you see what you were given or it was sealed?

dicsnemma:
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

capello1:

Treasureprince1:

brownesugar:

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

capello1:
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.

Glorioussugar:



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

Glorioussugar:



Mekusa this is why I’m paranoid �����

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

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

LegitBachelor:


One of the ways we can help is you telling us the documents you intend going with. We can advice you on whether they are enough.

LegitBachelor:
You are fine. I also had similar issue when i was trying to Schedule a date in October 2018. My petition was to expire in January 11 but the earliest available date was January 22. So I picked that date (January 22) and went for the interview prepared. I also sent the Embassy an email to tell them I couldn't pick any other earlier date.

My petition validity was extended without me even knowing. It was when I got my Passport that I saw the extended validity on the Visa Stamp.

sharpman1:


Well, I don't know how you did yours but I completed and submitted my application before I booked my interview.

When you submit your application, you will get a confirmation and the confirmation comes with a number. You will see the number clearly on your application confirmation. It is this same number on your application confirmation that will also show on your interview confirmation after you have booked your interview date.

Glorioussugar:


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.

mekusa10:


I dont see any thing wrong with taking that step. I sha will recommend you add the email asking for extension with the affidavit of support form and other documents when you are first called at the window to drop those documents by the nigerian staff working at the embassy. I don't see a better chance to have the CO look at it.

brownesugar:


@sharpman pls i hve already gotten a appointment date (scheduled) but yet to submit the ds160 form,heard the barcode number that comes after submitting the form must tally with the appointment letter, is it true in this my kind of case can u pls shed more light on it?also the number on my appointment letter comes with both numbers and alphabets..if it doesnt corresponds with each other what can i do in this case ?thank you

sharpman1:


Complete and submit your DS160....what's stoping g you.
When you are done submitting, you will get the application confirmation. If the number us different from the appointment confirmation number, call the customer service of travel docs and tell them the application number does not agree with the appointment number, they will ask for the number and correct it for you then they will send you another appointment confirmation by email.
