It comes with great saddness today to announce that my fiancee was denied the visa in Nigeria. Im really upset right now but according to my fiancee he said that the consular officer denied him the visa because I didnt meet his parents and he didnt meet mine. I dont know what to do? How can I request a second interview? She said its for immigration purposes. Buts its not true. He answered all the questions correctly. Well let me continue crying. I need all your help right now.

I'm so sorry for your bad day. After reading your post, I couldn't help but think if Nigeria was the hot subject after the latest terrorist attempt on the flight last week. The administration has called for accountability on all levels so maybe that was the real factor?

I am really sorry to hear that Nwanyionma. Maybe you can consider both parents writing a letter to the consulate explaining why they have not met and their support for your relationship. Thats all i can think of right now.

Also, just wondering, have you visited Nigeria since your relationship began?

Please dont loose up.

I am so sorry sweetie....I was wondering the same thing "Urch" asked. Have you visited Nigeria? If so, why didn't you meet his parents when you were there? My prayers go out to you. This journey is tough enough and now this. God is STILL in control and delay is not denial. God has the final say. So after you cry, wipe your tears and trust God to lead and guide you with clear direction. God knows your heart and he as the ability to change any denial to approval and I believe He will do it for you and your fiance.

Abundant Blessings,

Amarachi's Wife

I havent visited since 1985. We met in Dubai. Im definitely going to Nigeria next month to see him. Whats so funny is that my dad is in Nigeria as we speak. I dont know what to do. Im in the state of confusion and shock. All I want is a second interview. Do you think that they will give me? Who is my representative/senator that can help me? Oh my God this is a nightmare.

Really sorry for your news, they will grant a second interview if there's additional proof or evidence to be submitted at that time. I'm guessing the denial is for lack of a visit to his home as well, I would suggest taking a trip there, then rescheduling a new interview, or possibly try to schedule an interview while you're there if it's at all possible.

Best of luck to you.

During your visit, pay one to the consulate there as well but do an internet search for the congressman in your county in your state to find out who he/she is and solicit for their help in keeping the petition in nigeria then you can request for another interview with the consulate now with a letter from your dad who is currently in nigeria and make sure you take pictures of him and your fiance to show them.

Since your dad is in Nigeria have your husband go meet him and also obtain an affidavit saying he approves of the union. I had my in laws do one for my marriage. We had a lawyer draw it up and had it notarized. They also signed our marriage certificate. Hope this helps!

I havent visited since 1985. We met in Dubai. Im definitely going to Nigeria next month to see him. Whats so funny is that my dad is in Nigeria as we speak. I dont know what to do.

Unless Lagos said they want a second interview during the original one they can be pretty hard headed about sending the petition back to USCIS. Vermont is more apt to review the petition so you have time to prepare for a rebuttal. CSC likes to declare them dead and make you start all over again. I think the plane idiot will cause Nigeria to take a close look at all petitions to the US even if he wasn't traveling on a K1. Make sure you get pictures with his family while you are there.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

Look into getting married and meet his parents while you are there. File CR1 instead. Good luck.

You all thank you so much for your support. Im and 26 years old and my fiancee is 27 years old. Im of igbo descent and hes yoruba. I just decided to re-file the 129f petition. Im going to Nigeria in April for 3 weeks and again in August. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. This is a nightmare. Its ok. My dad is in the village in Abia State. He said that he will see my fiancee when he comes to Lagos. Wow I was so sure of an approval today. Im so heartbroken. Well lets start the visa journey again.

I am so sorry about your news. I advise you to contact your Senator ASAP. Also to my understanding, part of the requirements for the Fiance Visa is that you must have seen each other at least once during the past 2 years. You mentioned that you have not visited since 1985. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but are you saying that you have not seen your Fiance since 1985?!?!?

Hold your head up, and all the best!

ALL things work TOGETHER for GOOD!
