Lagos doesn't allow spouses to enter normally. You can make a point that he is waiting outside and they may then decide to send for him but don't count on it. You will get an interviewer but it is who ever you get. We had someone different the second time. They will ask questions based on why they think your relationship wasn't good enough to grant a visa the first time. If they feel it isn't legit they will ask things about him that a wife should know, they will expect you are better prepared than the last time and because you are now married that you are more co mingled then a fiance would be ( for example you are on his life insurance, medical insurance and such )

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

If you haven't already start reading the reviews of the Nigerian Consulate. If you can't answer the questions posted then you don't know your husband. Presenting call logs and not being able to answer what his typical day is like, who his friends are, or how he occupies his time when he's not around would make anyone question the validity of your relationship. You have to be well prepared to confidently and convincingly answer anything.

In our case, during the second interview my husband was asked if he had the documents that were missing during the first interview. With regards to the reason for the initial denial, go over the reviews by those who have gone through the interview process, it is very important that you do go over every detail of how you husband spends his days, what he does for relaxation, where he lives, etc. You may luck out and not have to answer too many questions but you need to also prepare yourself for the possibility of prolonged questioning.

Preparation and confidence is very important, if you are nervous and shaky then that may cause a difficult situation. This site is an excellent resource for finding out possible questions and what others in your situation have experienced. Good Luck.
