Confirmed from NVC yesterday again and they said its been sent to Nigerian embassy
...that they can't give any update as all document has been sent to the embassy

]I don't think any case has be sent to embassy from nvc for almost a year now unless for expedited cases but hopefully cases will be shipped to Naija on next shipping day as the embassy has finally prioritized k1 cases

sarumiabiola:
Thanks for your response, please was this after the embassy contacted you or you just went ahead created your profile and filled DS160 form...because we contacted NVC in January for updated and they informed us all doc has been sent to the embassy... Since then no update from the embassy other than wait.

where's your case at the moment?

Airboy333:
..wow all k1 so nice to hear this so no one is waiting for a reschedule interview

I doubt if there's any k1 case at the embassy yet to be scheduled or rescheduled, I think cases will start moving from nvc to the Embassy imminently

shariaston:
Yes I have been rescheduled

great, all the best to you

shariaston:
My interview was for March 2020 but was cancelled..I have checked repeatedly on the interview booking portal and everytime it says "there are no new interview dates"

The consulate told us that they will inform us when they begin interviewing k1 visas.. what's really happening (rhetoric question)?

hi I hope you finally got rescheduled today? all the k1 cases at the embassy were scheduled and rescheduled today .

Edobreed:
congrats

thank you

sarumiabiola:
Good morning, Please was this portal generated for you or you created it yourself??, I honestly don't know what to do beyond waiting...we got NVC approval in November 2020, and since we have been told to wait

i created it myself, once your case is shipped from nvc to the embassy, you need to fill ds160 form, your mrv fee and create an account ustraveldocs.com to be able to book an appointment

please keep checking the portal, dates will pop up, you may likely receive an invite email directly from the embassy, all the best to you

Airboy333:
congrats last born

thank you ;

shariaston:
Did you have to request the new interview or it was automatic?
Please what was your original date before cancellation?

the dates popped up on my ustraveldoc portal and I scheduled myself, my interview for April 15th 2020 was cancelled due to the pandemic, what stage are you?

emmarino:

Was not up to schedule interview before ban, so it's fresh. They mailed my fiance and new date is April 19th

congrats bro, all the best

Elders in the house, my interview was finally rescheduled for May.

Hi good people. Good news. Our case got approval today from USCIS notfying has been movd to NVC. Please has anyone recently gotten interview date from lagos or Abuja embassy. Want to know if they are functional and how long it could take NVC to farward to embassy here in Nigeria

congratulations on your approval, only Lagos consulate handles k visas, interviews are not happening at the moment following the shutdown due to the pandemic, hopefully they'll resume that soon, my interview for April 2020 was cancelled and we've not been rescheduled yet, all the best to you

Hi Fam!!!

I hope everyone is fine and safe, especially our members who are in Naija? A quick update on my case, I got a mail from USCIS yesterday for my interview. However, the date they gave me didn't really favor me as my wife is away on active duty and will not be back before the interview date. I went to the local office today to explain the situation and also showed them a written letter from her command stating that she will be away between the month of October to November. After taking a look at it, the case officer I met placed a call, then came back and told me to still come for the interview with all the necessary documents and supporting evidence. If they still feel the need to contact her, they will. So I hope everything works out, wish me luck. Cheers!!!!

all the best bros

@Sandraigho @Tomori @Emmarino and everyone of us here going through this process, please keep on keeping on, I'm super hopeful all these craziness will be over soon and we all will reunite with our fiance(e)s. I really miss the precovid vibes in this thread but las las we go dey alright.

dicsnemma:
Hello everyone,

A quick update, so i got a mail from USCIS yesterday with a scheduled appointment next week for my bio-metrics. Hopefully my work permit comes few weeks after my capturing and bio. Wishing everyone reading this the very best and safety. Cheers

Nice one, regardless of this pandemic, we all will surely be fine.

All the best to you.

I bumped into this thread again

Divinegrace0147:
I just filled and subbmitted my ds 160 form ...how do i book my interview.

pay your visa fee at any GT bank branch, create an account on www.ustraveldoc.com and wait for appointment dates to pop up, currently there are no dates as the US embassy is still closed, I wish you all the best.

I think there's hope

Divinegrace0147:
my k1 visa case was approved since April due to COVID 19 I couldn't get any email from the Lagos embassy ... I yesterday they sent email guidelines for the interview...

that should be packet 3, for them to send that means it's a good news for us, it shows there's hope of imminent reopening of the embassy, for your question, kindly visit https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?App=IV input your case number and track, if it shows "ready" you can go ahead and fill ds-160 form, you can as well pay your interview fee at any GT bank branch, after that create a profile on ustraveldoc.com and patiently wait for appointment dates to pop up as there's currently no appointment dates available at the moment,

All the best to you

Divinegrace0147:
I got an update from the Lagos embassy yesterday via k1 ...please how do I start booking my interview and filling DS 160 form......

please what update did you get?

Drenimarcus:
Hey guys, just an update, my I-145(aos) was updated today and it was approved without any interview.

K-1 Journey ends, Citizenship journey starts.

Goodluck guys!

congrats brother, all the best

sharpman1:


Oh lol. Sorry, i thought you were 'combining' me with that ignorant fellow since you quoted my post.

baba forget that guy jare, I no d even see am, e still never wan get sense

disguy1:


I remember we followed this sage advise for filling our form and all was good.

TreasurePrince, leave it blank and fill out the supplemental part as advised. Wish you the best bro.

thanks baba, i'll definitely do as advised

sharpman1:


The affidavit of Support is filled by your USC fiance. She's saying she'll support you when you come. She fills it or you fill on the assumption that she's filling and get her to sign.

I hope that answers your question.

you're a good man, thank you so much, you don see as coro pause lastborn na

sharpman1:


In the Part 7, don't forget to fill Family Name, Given Name, Middle Name and A-Number (If any). I deliberately blocked that out.

please which of the names should we fill, mine or my fiancee's?

sharpman1:


Abeg don't listen to that ignorant fellow that likes jumping on questions that he does not understand or have answers to.

So.........when i filled mine, i did not tick any of the boxes. However, i went to Part 7 and wrote the following in the additional information (See attached file). I got the idea from visa journey.

Now, I am not saying you should not tick the "intend" to box. Hopefully, others that actually filled the form and did not have any issues will tell you what they did.

thank you baba, #respect

Please what should we fill in that no 38, after ticking the "intend" box, how do we "indicate the exact nature and duration of the contributions you intend to make" part?
