| Embassy Review : |
i just want to share my experience with Lagos consulate in this forum.i had my interview on Thursday and it was successful.My opinion concerning applicants for future interview is to stay focus and know more about their fiancee.confidence is the key even when there is redflag,learn how to deal with it when the CO mention or discuss about it.To my surprise after 15 minutes of an argumentative interview,He just asked for my pictures cos my initial application just had 5 and he asked me if i have more pictures and i replied yes.He later asked for my wedding plans which i showed him and he laughed and said congratulations that i should come in 2 weeks for my visa. |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
