Hello everyone,

I have filed for the K-1 visa. My fiance has an interview on Aug 1, which is the same day that our approval notice expires. This site has been wonderful in helping me to figure out what needs to be completed. I appreciate everyone writing their own experiences. I am sending more information than required. Heck, we even have a wedding website. Emotionally this process has been taxing. I appreciate any advice or tricks you have learned that helped you deal with the Lagos office. I wish everyone a happy and easy visa process. It is very hard being away from the one you love!

My husband is from Lagos as well. What we did was compile a notebook with all our emails, phone bills letters and cards sent thru the mail. We had all our financial information such as job letter, bank letter and we made sure that everything was neat and in order and my husband interview was only 5 minutes. Just be organized and honest and he will have a successful interview.
