Quick Question

[Bertha&J 0]

Hi all,

Does anyone know if my fiancée in Nigeria will receive any packages (with instructions) before her interview date, or does this email I received from NVC serve as the only notice for us. When does she go for her medical? Are we going to receive instructions about this? The interview data is just a month away but she lives in Rivers State and I am very reluctant to have her travelling back and forth to Lagos unless if absolutely necessary; it’s very expensive to do so.

I received the email below from NVC on the 26th of December.

Interview Letter (P4)

December 26, 2013

Dear XXXXXX,

The National Visa Center (NVC) completed the domestic pre-processing of the immigrant visa petition

LGS2013XXXXXX filed by XXXXXX on behalf of XXXXXX. The NVC will now forward the petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in LAGOS, NIGERIA

for a visa interview. This letter serves as formal notification of the visa interview. SAVE this letter and present it

to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate guard/receptionist at the time of the interview. Etc, etc.

Thank you.

Are you following any threads for Nigeria Spousal Interviews in the MENA forum ?

as for 'receiving stuff' - the interview letter is sent via email from NVC to the petitioner and the beneficiary.

That's it, that's all, to expect . Your P4 seems scant, though.

You mentioned a fiancee. Which visa are you chasing after ?

[Bertha&J 0]

Oh CR-1 .

This is so torturous. Wish it will end. I had originally filed IR-1 but upgraded the petition once I became a citizen in April last year. Will update my timeline this evening.

There's no need for you to go to MENA forum. You had Armenia as coountry of your interview thats why Darnell stated that.

Do read up on the interview reviews for 9ja to get famailar get tips and such on interviews.

So now you know what to do going forward. Since you don't want your wife going back and forth I suggest she goes to lagos a week ahead of interview has medical 4 days later picks up results than interview. I know some have picked up results the day before its up to you.

Wow, I made a mistake. I meant spouse, not fiancee. Must have had that in mind when reading through the forums. This immigration thing is soooo hard; been a long journey.
