I got to the consulate very early this morning about 6:30am we were called in around 7:00am, we had to sit in a hall that was very cold, i could hardly bear it lol..Anyways i was # IV3 i was called to window 11 at exactly 12:15pm it's such a long period of waiting in there.... The 1st question the CO asked me was , where did we meet, becos they already had my infomation in 2005 when we applied for K1 but for some reasons they did give me the visa so we had to file for K3, so she has most of the asnwers to the questions like, how did we meet, what my wife does, and so many of such, the CO ask me different questions which i wasnt expecting to come accross in a K3 visa intreview the questions are as follows.....

CO: A lady in the US is petitioning for you to come stay with her in the US is that right?
ME: Yes ma'am
CO:Do you emails from your wife?
ME: No ma'am we mostly talk on the phone
CO: DO you have the phone bills which shows her call to you in Nigeria?
ME: Yea ma'am
CO: How many children you intend to have ?
ME: 3
CO: How do you intend discipline your children?
ME: By correcting them and show them the right thing to do
CO: When does your wife wake up in the morning?
ME: I said 5am
CO: Why?
ME: Becos she has to say her praying at that time?
CO: What is her religion
ME: Muslim
CO: Does he have a praying rag?
ME: Yes
CO: What does she study at school?
ME: Social Sciences and Secretary job,
CO:Do you have more proof of your relationship?
ME: I said that all i gat right now
CO: The telephone bills i have here are from 2005 i need some recent ones, I need to make sure that you and wife are still communcating
CO:You have photographs of you and your wife?
ME: Yes ma'am
CO: May i see them
ME: Sure(I had two albums of photos of me and my wife her entire family and my family)
CO: I just need to make sure that you are still communicating with your wife
ME: I can get you more proof of our relationship if you want that
CO: Yea i will be giving you a chance to proof that
ME: Okay ma'am
CO:Do you have your medical results yet?
ME: No ma'am i was told to come on the 27th to get it

She handed me a white paper showing the items she needs from me to show that i still have an ongoing relationship with my wife. The items are, Emails from my wife to me,Postmarked stamped,transcripts of our chats,photographs,phone bills atleats 6months back until present time....I asked, Ma'am when do i bring this documents back she said come any friday by 7am with your proofs and your medical results...........So i and my wife had agreed for me to return to the consulate 3rd of august which is a friday since i will be getting my medicals on the 27th, this will give us time to get more proof of an ongoing relationship btw me and wife... Any piece of advice would be appreciated as usual.

Just do exactly what they ask you to do. Give them more current telephone bills and any other evidence you can think of that indicates you have an ongoing relationship. At some point, she made a second trip and you got married. The most important evidence of communication will be dated after the marriage, after the petition was filed.

Hey sounds like a good thing. Any progress towards the goal is a good one. Good luck w your Journey, looks like it's almost over.

FIRST, thank you for sharing this experience; it will certainly help a lot of people

As to the phone bill, your wife can obtain them online, that's now standard in US phone companies.

More proof, would be the following

- A witness
- I can be more creative too, if you have your wife's name on your mirage ring.
- Any money transfer receipt.

Anything you can think of that may proof your mirage and continues relationship,


and I wish you and all of us a fast, good and smooth case.

Jamil, my first piece of advice is for you to have your wife attend the next inteview with you. This will show that there is a strong committment from her to have you join her in the US. Also, you MUST show them proof that you have seen each other in the last two years. So have her send or bring copies of her entrie stamps on her passports, boarding passes from her flights to Nigeria, hotel reciepts if they are avialable. Phone records are highly importatant. You and her need to locate any and all phone records to prove that you talk to each other. Letters with postmarks, birthday cards and the like. If she attends the interview, be sure you review all of the interview questions posted in the guides on VJ for K3 and AOS. They may ask you any of those. DON'T TAKE THIS LIGHTLY. If you really want to join your wife and vice versa, you must overwhelm them with evidence and your wife must do everything she can to travel to the embassy for that interview, this may even involve you postponing the interview for a later date in order for her to arrage travel.

My husband was given the same white form in January and I traveled to his next interview in Februrary. We were interviewed extensively and still he was denied the visa. I made a huge amount of noise with my congressman and with his help I've secured another interview. This time I'm going in with EVERY shred of evidence of our relationship.

If your case is returned to Washington after this second interview it could be 18mos to 2 years before you have another opportunity to interview.

Also, if you've had a previous denial (K1), you may want to have your wife seek the services of a qualified attorney. She will need one that specializes in revocations and denials. PM me if you need some suggestions.

Good Luck

Dre thank you very much for your advice, did the embassy ever give you a reason for your husband's denial at the second interview? There must be a reason for the denial or sort of please tell me what they say or why they deny him the visa.

When you go back with all the information remain calm. My husband had his interview in Lagos, and we showed over 400 emails, phone bills, and copies of calling cards. Bring everything that they have listed on the paper and it will be a success. Good Luck!

Thank you africa queen.. The point is i and my wife talk on the phone mostly and on Y!M we hardly email ourselves,. You think if i show them the recent telephone bills, IM chat conversations,recent pictures of her and her family, Western Union receipt,DHL receipt,cards, would that be enough??

careful with money transfers changing hands.

Omoba, I'm curious about the money transfers. I send my fiance money all the time. Is that not evidence of support? He never sends money to me because he doesn't have any (lol). I've heard of other people including their money transfers. Have you heard something different?

Thanks

Money transfer from the foreign SO to the USC could be thought of as "paying" the petitioner for filing.

Since it is going from the USC to the foreign country it is not so bad but be ready to answer if the CO asks
what the money was for and why is it send.

An occassional monetary gift is fine but I just would not want to have a pattern. EVERYTHING will be scrutinized.
I also think it looks better for a married couple than K1. Do not present the idea that the SO is "using" the USC
for money.

I'm sure this advice is well intentioned, but ....... the scenario is for a different consulate, I see no mention of the OP requiring a second interview, and I don't understand what the comment about a previous K1 has to do with anything.

It's good to want to help someone overcome a request for further information. It's not good to overly panic them.

.

Thank you everyone for your contributions and i wish everybody too good luck with their VJ.
