We will all continue to wait. Right now, the Lagos embassy is prioritizing student, tourist, and K1 visas (probably has something to do with more monetary gain vs. CR1/IR1). Some people have been waiting since mid to late Dec 2020 when they were documentarily qualified by NVC. The wait is extremely tiring and frustrating but yet that's all we can do..... wait. You can attempt to expedite for an interview if u have a valid reason but even then the embassy may still reject your request. There is a petition I saw going around on some fb naija/US marriage based visa groups about the senseless waiting for an interview.... I don't know how fruitful those efforts will truly be though. 

 

All we can do is pray that by the summer, they shift their focus to CR1/IR1 visa interviews. 🙏🏽

That seems odd.  Do you have a source for that?

if u look at the stats for issued visas (last noted is March)

there were 38 CR1/IR1 issued visas 

only 19 K1's 

and NO dv lottery issued at all

 

so the embassy isn't just doing K1's and dv interviews

Nothing you can do but wait. Right now they are at Dec. 10, 2020 DQ date. Last IL's for Lagos went out January. And it is true the focus right now was to get K1's caught up they requested all of 2021 waiting at NVC to embassy so they can start scheduling.
Hopefully IR/CR/F2A category gets next up. 4 months is along wait to not be seeing IL's for categories that were at one point Priority one.

We are in the same boat as you.  NVC approved us December 5, 2020 and we are still waiting for an interview. Just out of curiosity when you look at your NVC website account what does this say?  Your case is currently at NVC or did it move pending Embassy interview??

I want to let you all knows that I have collected my visa.. I want to use this opportunity to thank you all that contributed both positive and negative on my visa struggles.

I want to tell others that they shouldn't give up on the struggle.. if you go through my stories you will know that since I can achieve this you can also achieve it. My appreciation goes to visa journey platform, they are really helpful. kudos to the management of visa journey.. their platform really gave me hope and also make my dream come through..

God bless you all
