The consulates are rated according to their difficulty on a 5 point scale:

:D Easy

:) Moderate

:( Difficult

:devil: The fires of Hell!

:o Lagos

I found this in an old VJ post and laughed so hard. Nothing describes the Lagos experience more precisely than this! Loved it and wanted to share it with the Nigerian VJ members.

This indicates what it is like to go through the visa process with US Embassy Nigeria be warned! :rofl::bonk::crying:

Lagos is infamous for being quite difficult. The Embassy at Santo Domingo, DR is also considered difficult because it is another high fraud Embassy...

August 23, 2010 - I-129 F package sent via USPS priority mail with delivery confirmation.

August 30, 2010 - Per Department of Homeland Security (DHS) e-mail, petition received and routed to California Service Center for processing. Check cashed. I-797C Notice of Action by mail (NOA 1) - Received date 08/25/2010. Notice date 08/27/2010.

After 150 days of imposed anxious patience...

January 24, 2011 - Per USCIS website, petition approved and notice mailed.

January 31, 2011 - Approval receipt notice (NOA 2) received by mail. Called NVC, given Santo Domingo case number, and informed that petition was sent same day to consulate.

Called Visa Specialist at the Department of State every day for a case update. Informed of interview date on February, 16 2011. Informed that packet was mailed to fiance on February, 15 2011.

February 21, 2011 - Fiance has not yet received packet. Called 1-877-804-5402 (Visa Information Center of the United States Embassy) to request a duplicate packet in person pick-up at the US consulate in Santo Domingo. Packet can be picked-up by fiance on 02/28.

March 1, 2011 - Medical exam completed at Consultorios de Visa in Santo Domingo.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.

Often things are gloomy and stressful in our lives and specially that we have to go through this visa process. It is essential to keep a sense of humor somewhere along the line, otherwise, one can go :wacko:

You are welcome patient2010. Again, thanks for being so supportive! God bless.

Quite funny, but I think the choice of "smiley" still does not adequately express the frustrations from Lagos. They have not come up with anything that can express "Lagos"
