K1 Visa Lagos Interviews 2023?

[Kryssie1067 2]

Hi guys, 3 weeks ago the Lagos Consulate emailed me our Packet letter stating they were ready to complete the final processing of our application, which means time to interview. They sent us our instructions on what to do next and how to schedule.

 

Yet when I go to the website to schedule, it always says: “Does your immigrant case number starts with LGS2019, LGS2020, or LGS2021?”

 

Of course, ours does not. It begins with LGS2023. So we select “No”. After that it stops us and says: You are not eligible to schedule an appointment for K visa at this time. Please wait until you receive a notice of eligibility.

 

I am currently in a Facebook Group where yesterday it was announced that K1 Visa interview dates had opened up. I went to the website, and still received the above warning.

 

Everyone else was able to schedule interviews— but not me. I also do not hear anyone else mentioning this warning. I called the Embassy, of course, and they have no comment on it. They simply tell me to send an email. When I do send an email, what seems like a robot responds with only instructions on HOW to schedule an appointment, but no comment on the warning.

 

#1: Has anyone else seen this when trying to schedule an appointment?

 

#2: Should I just wait? My worry is that the US Petition is only valid for 4 months. Likewise our Police Certificate is only valid for 3 months. If we don’t get an interview this year, would that mean that our Petition has expired and we must start the process again?

 

Thank you,

Krystale

Long queue and the years 2019, 2020 and 2021 are still ahead of 2023 

everyone is waiting 

Petition will be auto extended  but email the embassy stating Case #,  both names and both DOB and state u r unable to schedule as yours is 2023 and u want case to remain open

probably need new police report at that time

Hello Kryssie1067,

Im in the same situation it’s not just you and I’m always checking the website 5 times a day, but I know every visa is different so just waiting…

Hello, have you had your interview yet? I am currently waiting for my finance to book his interview date, but we just got the interview 2-3 weeks ago regarding the packet of instructions. I hope it doesn’t take that long..

Has anyone had any luck with their appointments? I have never seen the warning you speak of. Just the constant "no appointments available" message. Then the lock outs. In addition to that as of August 2024, they have again changed the booking site for payments and appointment scheduling and still cannot access that. It is beyond frustrating as it seems all you can do it wait. When I have tried to call or chat them, they tell me to use the Lagos Visa Navigator which also does not work great.
