I just had my interview. It was a success. But I was told to bring the original copy of my birth certificate and submit at the DHL office alongside my passport. I was also told that once I submit them my visa will be ready for collection in 10 days. Will I say I was foolish to have submitted the photocopy? Lol. Anyways I’m excited. Thank you all. Whew! What a journey.

Hello All. My brother's fiance (US citizen) filed for a fiance visa on September 20 for my brother. Receipt was acknowledged on September 23, 2021 and a Receipt number (starting with WAC....) was sent via text message. Till date, no case number or anything. We used the receipt to track on this website, - https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/mycasestatus.do - and "Case was received" message acknowledging the receipt of the petition was displayed.

Is this normal? How soon does it take to get a case number or is the receipt number the same as case number? January 23, 2022 will make the 4th month and nothing has been heard. Can someone with a similar experience please responsd.

Thanks

Hey guys, my EAD and travel document case was approved yesterday.

ezinwaJesu:
It is COVID related. They are trying to clear backlogs and it appears they may have met the target for 2021. December is here already, it is very likely things pick up again by January 2022.

ezinwaJesu:
Hello great people. I appreciate everyone who have contributed meaningfully to this thread. You guys are the bomb.

Please who has received message from NVC this November. Our case was received since October 21st and my fiancee has called NVC just last week. She was told that US embassy in Nigeria gave instruction to NVC to stop sending cases to the embassy. The reason for the temporary suspension is still unknown.

Please is there a phone number to reach US embassy in Lagos for enquiries on this issue. If it is COVID related, we need to know.

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.
Quickly can k1 visa holders book a one way ticket or round trip?

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

mumdearest:
Good morning all, are there new approvals for NOA1 in the house?
I'm just checking. How are you guys coping with the wait?

shariaston:
Maybe facial expressions would have mattered in the past but not now - COVID. Through out your time inside the Consulate, you are required to put on your face mask. So, no one will be seeing your facial expressions. I think that's a good thing though.


He only time you will have to take down your mask will be when the Consular want to verify it's you on the passport.

SmartJac:
Am eager to learn too. Also, does facial expression (whether you are smiling or keeping a straight face) matter?

Airboy333:
Pls can someone go wit this on his or her interview

Coquinoqui:
Good morning my people, Pls for those that has been there before I need tips and advice during k1 visa interview. Should you give out documents to support your answers or you wait until the vo ask for it?

mumdearest:
Good morning, you can download LAWFULLY APP from Play Store.
it gives updates, predictions and people share their case processing journey there as well.
Hope you find it useful.

Treasureprince1:
there is no standard for that but printing in colour makes it look cool and better, for your documents you can arrange them in a file with multi compartments

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)✌�✌�✌�

Coquinoqui:
Yes. It was ceac fault they're doing routine maintenance.
