Since your fiancé is from Nigeria, you should check out the "Reviews: Embassy/USCIS & POE" section to get an idea of what it's like and the sort of questions asked: http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/index.php?cnty=Nigeria&cty=&dfilter=5

Thank you very much!

The better you know each other, the better. We searched for all the interview questions we could find in various posts about interviews on here and other sites. Each week, we took around 10 or so and each mailed our answers to the questions and then discussed them. To be honest, it was fun and gave us lots to talk about. This prep helped him to answer the questions he did get in his interview without any hesitation whatsoever.

On another note, an international postage stamp from the US is 98 cents. Take the tiny effort to mail things sometimes. Physical evidence is a good thing. Plus it is delightful to get something in the mail. I know very well how easy and modern email/chat is but it is not gonna kill anybody to show some love and spend a buck now and then. (I sleep with his Valentine's card on the table next to my bed every night. Before that, I slept with a different card that he sent. We did this about once a month or so. His cologne is a very nice touch, too. There is nothing romantic to see about a chatlog on display and it is not a very romantic keepsake.)

I provided my fiance with things to make the interview wait time a little less stressful also. In the clear pocket of the notebook, he had some gum (from the US--a subliminal hint that he could only have gotten this from me), some pens, Kleenex tissues, Chapstick, and a tny tube of hand sanitizer. I printed out some trivia about his new country, state, and city to read that might distract him a little. I wish now that I had also written a letter for him to open only during his waiting time in the embassy to tell him how much I love him and believe in him and all that mushy stuff.

Good luck in your immigration adventure.

Wow, I wish I would have thought to do that......or even read this early enough to do it....lol.

I hope some other folks can benefit from the suggestion. One thing--don't send any chocolate candy and hope that it will be chocolate-therapy for the stress of the interview. It gets gobbled up immediately. hahahaha

If your beloved is a gum smacker/popper/bubble-blower, you might wanna send some hard candies instead.

I noticed you said your finace is Nigerian but on your timeline it says he will interview in Armenia is this correct? If so how long has he been in Armenia and it is possible he will need a police certificate from Armenia if he has been there more than 6 months and he will also need one from Nigeria depending on when he left Naija....

No he has never been in Armenia; that's an error...I will fix this right away.

Great suggestions but we are dealing with Nigeria postal service and you are lucky if you get mail from Nigeria or get mail to Nigeria. The best way to get things there and here are post cards. Still serves the same purpose just nothing for them to wonder if there's money inside.

We tried at the beginning of our relationship and none of his mail ever made it to me nor his families mail and my letters 4 of them took 8 months to arrive. So email , IM phone text and calls is the only way for most of us dealing with Nigeria.

But love the care package idea on day of interview. That is awesome thank you.

When my fiance gets his Interview, what are the dangers must he avoid? What kinds of questions will they ask him? How can we prepare for the Interview?

The evidence is all couple specific to embassy. Since Nigeria is the visa fraud capital we are all under a BIG microscope. They already are looking at our relationships/marriages as shams to get a visa so we have to show evidence to the contrary. Now be sure to address your red flags if you have any. Listed are a few. If you have these just be able to address them honestly and have proof, evidence to quash it. To raise no doubt what so ever.

1. Significant age difference.

2. Relationships which are less than 1 year old.

3. Discrepencies between the information provide in the forms and that obtained during the interview.

4. Failure of the applicant to demonstrate knowledge of basic information about the petitioner.

5. Recent divorce.

6. infrequent visits

7. Not staying long on visits

8. Marrying first visit than living

9. Not wanting kids.

10. religious difference

Just to name a few
