Hello Everyone,
My fiance just sent me a text to let me know the lagos consulate called him to tell him they will be observing a holiday on the day he is expected to go get his visa and he should come the next day Nov. 12th but he should bring a copy of his birth certificate with him to the consulate on Monday. Should i be worried or do they just need it to put in the packet that he is to pick up on thursday? Please help wedding arrangements already underway. -------------------- 3/12/09 - Sent I129F

Providing one before the interview is a bit abnormal. As a pessimist I would suspect that it means there are name check issues and you may looking at AP . Wedding plans shouldn't be anything you will lose money on until the visa is in hand

I am not injecting fear. Please, try to breathe deeply

No need to worry at all. Do what the consulate has asked and pick up the Visa on the 12th. Nov 11th is a federal holdiday (veterans day) so the consulate must observe it. Don't let anyone put fear into you. The Visa is already yours.
