Bro how were you able to resolve the challenge you talked about earlier when you were trying to fill the DS-160 form?
Coquinoqui:
So I finally apply for the ds 160 NIV and print out the confirmation page. I called the embassy here in Senegal they said i should wait to receive a letter from the embassy with instructions to pay the fee and book appointment. Senegal processing is kinda different from the rest of the world cos I was wondering why Senegal is not in the list when you click Africa on ustraveldocs.com I found out on VisaJourney there is another designated website where us visa applicant uss to pay fees and book appointment. I just hope im not in for another marathon wait

Good day guys, so I have a question. I read that one of the requirements for the interview at the consulate is proof of wedding plans, if we get my Fiance's Priest in his church over there at the US to write a letter concerning the wedding date is that enough proof? For those that have scaled through the interview, can you be so kind as to tell us how you went about this part.

Alright, thank you so much bro
LegitBachelor:
Why would you need an immigration lawyer? Is your case complex? Being denied a Student Visa in the past will not affect your Fiancée Visa application. It will be adjudicated based on its merit and not based on your previous visa denials.
TravelRe: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by SmartJac: 11:33am On Jun 15, 2021
Guys, please has anybody used the immigration lawyer on visajourney.com before? Are they effective? They asked for my card for payment and am just trying to be careful to avoid stories that touch oo

Guys so due to the whole Trump's matter last year, my fiance and I applied for student visa but when it was confirmed that Biden has been sworn in by February we tried to make the switch to Fiance visa but it was late as the school had already sent out the i-20 to the embassy so we left it in order not to complicate things. After the long run, I went for the interview and was denied visa. Now we want to go through the Fiance visa, how long should we wait before we start applying for it? The student visa rejection happened just yesterday.

hi, ,@sharpman gave you the correct answer, please note that k1 visas are very easy to get in US consulate in Naija too as long as your case is genuine, to you first question, I started October 2019, all the best to you
TravelRe: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by SmartJac: 6:48pm On Jun 10, 2021
@treasureprince please your urgent response is needed
SmartJac:
Please when did you start applying for the spousal visa? Secondly, my Agent was saying that they hardly approve the fiance visa. How true is this please?
TravelRe: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by SmartJac: 6:44pm On Jun 10, 2021
Okay thanks a lot
sharpman1:
Agent? Please forget using an agent.

You can do the process yourself unless you have a complicated case.....and what you need for a complicated case is an immigration lawyer in the US not a Nigerian agent that does not understand the process himself/herself.

You should also join visajourney.com. Great resource and information on any question regarding the K1 and Spousal visa there.

Hello everyone, please I intend apply to a college in the US and one of the criteria is attested or official testimonial. Can NECO original certificate be used for this? Am a bit nervous also as to whether there are specific ages from the consulate for applying as a college student.
