My K1 visa was approved and I want to say a big thank you to LegitBachealor & the rest of the members here for all the contributions. I had my interview on Jan 15th and I just tracked it, it's showing issued, so waiting for the notification to go to DHL. So let me give the low down how everything happened.

Our case actually expired on 28th Dec,2019 but I was able to get interview date before expiration. I did my medicals in Lagos 13th December and picked it on 14th January morning because I don't stay in Lagos. Even though it was ready as at 23rd December. The consultant practice Ikoyi very friendly people.

I collected police certificate same day I did medicals and paid them 8k at Alagbon picked it up same day.

On 14th January I lodged at Atlantic hotel vi lagos musa yaradua road. I didn't want stories. The hotel is 25k per a night and I didn't mind because I wanted to be close to the embassy as possible. Woke up 5am and got to the embassy 5.30am. People don full everywhere. I paid one security 1k and dropped my bag and phone. My interview was for 7.30am.

So after all the queue and all, we were inside for the interview. No be small thing. Those for visit visa b1/b2 were just so much. I kept hearing please take your passport you re not eligible for the US visa...I'm sorry I'm sorry everywhere GOD. Those for immigrants were about 40. I focused on myself, already arranged all my documents in different transparent folders. Secondary evidence, primary evidence, compulsory requirements etc.

My turn for the submission window and thumbprint verification. The lady asked for Affidavit of support, police clearance certificate, medicals (don't open it until you get to the embassy & they ask you to at the queue), original birth certificate, w2 tax etc, passport photo and my international passport. I gave her all in 2 mins. Had it all arranged in my compulsory folder. Then I sat down and waited till I was called around 11.30am

The consular officer a black American asked me to take the oath which I did, finger print and interview startedooo. I tried my best to keep an eye contact on him, everything I learnt on this forum. Questions upon questions

So who filed for you?
How did you meet?
Where's she from?
Where does she stay ? ( THIS one I named the address in full)
What does she do?
Where does she work?
How many times have you met?
When did you propose?

I was already doing so well with All my legit answers then from nowhere he asked me this question...

You have been denied tourist visa 3 times, what's the circumstances surrounding it?

I explained to him the conference I wanted to attend but was denied, i gave him dates of all the application even the 1st one in 2014. No lie at all. Thank GOD I never lied in my application or said married when I was single.

He then asked me if I had ever lived outside Nigeria...I said No.

Next thing he said I believe I have enough information to approve your visa. He gave me two papers and said I should pick up my visa in two weeks and circled the Dhl address. I said thank you.

Wow it can only be GOD. Nigeria is really on a radar even if you are genuine, you need to pray that everything works out well.

Yankee here we come okooo

Thanks everyone!!!

so happy for you. Congratulations.

Hey folks, who can help me search for a cheap ticket for 2nd of February... preferably Emirates or KLM. Final destination is Charlotte NC. Be it one way or round trip is ok... but if the latter, the return date should be 6th of April.

Qatar Airways are very cheap and they’re one of the best airlines

Drenimarcus:
Honestly just check vj guides or use vj search bar, use poe and then your state on the search bar.

Hey poster,there’s really no big deal about coming here after getting your visa,I live in Delaware and there’s no intl airport here so I came in through Philadelphia and I wasn’t drilled for anything,got to the Poe,scanned my finger and was taken to a room where my sealed envelope was collected and my passport was stamped,was told to get married within 90 days and that was all.a random Dhs officer met me on my way to the agric section where you have to declare your food and collected my passport and asked me why I was getting married,caught me of guard but we ended up bantering and that was it.im yet to do my aos but I’m married to wifey already.
Plus: Most of those officers especially whites are not that friendly or maybe it’s just where I came in through

I think you quoted the wrong moniker bro. Happy married life and you are right about them officers, they ain’t friendly, expect more of that from people also. Enjoy.

toksbaba2000:
I am k1 beneficiary, petition approved and NVC got me a case number at the embassy. When can I secure appointment after I got notification from NVC.

My second question is that I overstayed my b1 b2 visa for 2 weeks and got deported 9years ago. Don't know if I have better chance at this k1 visa appointment.

Hello @toksbaba2000
Just saw your comment & decided to ask what the outcome was with the above situation.

Study4life:
Wow!
Congratulations kunle

Congratulations

@brownesugar please did you get a text from the embassy regarding your passport pick up? I got the attached email from them few minutes ago. Does that mean I can go pick my passport up? Also did you go with an ID? I don’t know if a photocopy of my passport data page will do. A swift response from those that have picked up their passport will be highly appreciated.

Yes you can go pick up your passport and medical parcel. It has been picked up by DHL so it's ready for collection. You can go with a photocopy of your datapage. You may also need to show them the email you got.

So the package you’re to give the CBP, did you hand it over at the JFK airport in New York or at the airport in North Carolina?
