we were approved for our k1 fiance visa on January 15, 2016. So, our paper work stated 10 business days. Well, its still now ready. I have called and emailed and I have been advised that it could take an additional 10 to 15 days. Nobody has the status, although online, the status is "Ready". Because we have to travel so far to pick up the visa, we didnt want to make a blank trip. So, i called to ask is the visa ready to be picked up. I was told that we will be contacted when its ready. Why on earth would they post online that my case is ready if we still have to wait????

my question: how long does it take to received (in your hand) your visa after your interview? and has anyone heard that it is behind in Nigeria?

Unfortunately, no one can tell you how long it takes to receive your visa in hand - that varies from case-to-case and country-to-country. But, since with the status being Ready, your wait could soon be over. As to specifics for Nigeria, you should check in the sub-forum: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/89-africa-sub-saharan/

Good Luck!

You are just in Necessary Administrative Processing "AP" the good kind. The READY is just that READY not READY for pick up. You are waiting for your status to say ISSUED (talking on ceac.state.gov.

It will go from READY==>AP==>READY==>ISSUED.

The 10 days is a estimate. They process over 400 interviews per day at Lagos and probably 1/3 of those get Visas issues. That's one busy Visa Center. Be patient they will contact you.
