Hello my fellow VJ family, our 9 months and 12days journey has ended. My husband had his interview this morning 7:00 am Nigerian time. Entering into the embassy was very smooth. He was there from 7:00am to 11:00 am. The officer that interviewed him was very thorough. He asked him about the university I attended, what state the university is located, how long we have known each other, what I do for a living, “ not just the title” but also my daily duties, what I do after work, how we met, where I live, who I live with, how many siblings I have, which 1 of my siblings his he close to, how we communicate, our proof of communication, how much it cost him per/ min to call me from Nigeria, and his occupation, the last time he saw me, what we did the last time I came to Nigeria. He also asked for evidence of our relationship, so my husband gave him the pictures but the officer did not look @ them. He went to the back for a few min, and came back with a letter stating the location my husband should go to for his visa collection, An advice to everyone do not over look little details. I wish my fellow interviewees good luck.
