Congratulations

Congratulations!!

I think your fiance will be setting himself up for a mind blowing denial if he ever uses the "I wanted to cover all basis just in case my K1 VISA gets denied" line with a Consular Officer in Lagos. I do not also think it is wise move to register your name in a marriage registry while your K-1 interview is coming up. I would advice that you keep an open mind and pray for the best.

Good luck to you.

I live in Miami and I am enjoying every bit of it! Lol.. Anyone else?

We got approved today at the Lagos Consulate of the American embassy Nigeria after a tough drill by an unsmiling Consular officer! The feeling is just indescribable! We were told that we need a new medical report though, and as soon as we submit those, then we are good to go. Apparently, the medicals we already had done in Cyprus a few months ago is no longer valid. Thank God and thank you VJ community. The Lagos consulate isn't so bad., the key is to make sure you know every and even the most insignificant detail about your fiancee/fiance if you are going through Lagos. If you have a genuine relationship with an American citizen, these guys will see it in ur responses and body language and you'll be fine. I can assure u today based on my experience, if you are involved in a fraudulent relationship for the sake of immigration purposes with a US citizen, Lagos is certainly no consulate for u to pass through. I will post a detailed review of my interview in the Nigerian portal shortly but first i gotta relax and celebrate this victory with my amazing fiancee. Thank you all again.

Congratulations!! You guys look so beautiful in ur pictures. Looking at them, it gives me so much hope that inspite of all the toils and headaches we go through in this visa journey, there is always a happy ending., the type i saw on ur faces in those pictures. I can't wait experience that same feeling like u guys on our own day. I wish both of you all the best!

As much as i sympathize with u on your present situation, i would however advice that u apply caution before taking a final decision on what u wanna do. For one thing, u have not heard directly from your fiancee whom i assume u are madly in love with. You might wanna ask yourself why she hasn't been able to contact u herself explaining why she didn't show up for the interview instead of taking her cousin's words for it. For all we know, a thousand and one thing could have made her not to appear for the interview. She might be in trouble, she might have been prevented from going for the interview against her will., i mean this is someone who was planing to spend a lifetime with u. The fact that her cousin called to tell u she cheated should not make u jump the gun immediately. My advice, try every other means to get in touch with her, let her tell u herself why she decided to not go for the interview or to marry u either. I think this will give u a more formal sense of closure and then u may go ahead and withdraw the petition if u so chooses. Good luck to you.

me too., i don't have any answer for ya but the K-9 visa joke sure cracked me up! lol Gosh we need a bit of those once awhile in this constantly stressed visa journey.

Congratulations mate! That was so inspiring

Does anyone know how long it takes to get an interview in Lagos in a case which has been transferred from another embassy to Lagos? secondly, seeing that we have already had an interview and paid visa fees at the embassy in Cyprus including medicals, do we still need to do all that in Lagos and submit all the initial documents and proofs that we have already done in Cyprus? Is there a way that the embassy in Cyprus could write to the embassy in Lagos informing them that we have done all these requirements before. And most importantly, is there any way to make this process any faster? we are going to write to the both embassies in the morning about these questions and get more clarifications but first we would appreciate your thoughts and responses. Thank you.

Congratulation on the success of your visa journey mate.. i can't wait to tell a story similar to yours. cheers...

hey guys

yes i did the test twice it came up positive, now the main concern is about the vaccins i took or the embassy made me took before i came up here,the doctor told me i dont have to get pregnant till three months have passed, and im only on my second month yet since the vaccin,im really worried, so im planing an abortion , im only pregnant for less then 4 weeks, any advice??i really dont want to have a baby with some medical complications,otherwise i would have kept the baby

First of all, congratulation on your pregnancy., it is a beautiful thing. Now, i would hardly think that this forum is an avenue for seeking medical advice especially when it has got nothing to do with your immigration process but with your health and your baby's. My advice, seek the counsel of a qualified gynecologist. They should be able to tell you with certainty if you or your baby are at any risks from the vaccines you took. Unless there is a qualified doctor on this forum who knows better, but this is only my 2 cents. Best wishes..

Ii have no advice or help but just want to say that if this is true, and I have read other similar stories -some true some not some just one side, and i am not suggesting this is either, but I'll never understand it. We go through so much to get these VISA and our partners here. I think everyone will agree getting a VISA for the US is no picnic. I'll never understand how some petitioners can go thru all that to get thier fiance(e) or spouse here and then not commit to the person. I mean, why bother with all this frustration and anxiety, etc in the first place if that's what your going to do? I know some things don't work out and sometimes that's found out early. But jeez you can still be human about it and act with care and compasion and do what you can to make it as painless as possible for the beneficiary if things don;t work out. If this was K-1 I wonder why he married her and then 2 months later want someone else.

I'll never understand it. He could do the same thing with any USC and not ever have gone through the agonizing VISA process.

I don't get it.

I guess I expect to much from some humans. Guess I expect everyone will behave like majority of members here on VJ who are overly ecstatic and on emotional overload for weeks, months, years when they finally get thier fiance(e)/spouses here after VISA process hell.

Congratulations to you both! That is such a lovely news. Fatherhood and parenting i'm sure is a very wonderful thing., there's no need for u to be nervous. We wish u the very best!

Yay! Congrates to you both.. You are so next after us! lol.. we are still patiently waiting for the embassy to receive our case from the NVC. Good luck to all of us

My guess is that it is probably nothing to worry about. if your fiance was told that he been approved then i suggest you wait till he goes to pick up his visa on the day he was told to come or wait for the visa to be delivered to him, whichever is the case. i think you were a lil bit too hasty in calling the DOS now when there is no indication that there is something wrong with your visa process., and secondly i think the person u spoke to at the DOS must of made a mistake, sometimes these guys behind the phones do not always know their left from their right. Your fiance should have been given a 221g if you guys had any issue which would've required an extra AP. My advice, chill out a bit and try to relax., you lucky u guys are almost at the end of this journey. Enjoy the feeling

Hi there., i really don't understand. I thought you posted some 3 days ago that u guys were approved of your visa and that ur fiance said that everything went ok at the interview. What's up with the AP thing now, and did the guys at DOS gave u any reason why u ended up in AP?

The member who said that the man is a dumbazz is absolutely right!!! Here's the thing, you might wanna forgive your husband now although there's always a chance that he will still cheat again because clearly once a cheater always a cheater. I do consider his actions cheating and i'm sure most people here will agree with me. You sound like a responsible lady and it baffles me how your husband fails to realize this and get his acts together. My advice, if you love him, keep talking to him and hope that he realizes what a fool he's been and change his ways., and pray for him as well that God might touch his heart. I wouldn't advice u to leave, at least not yet, as i believe so much in the sanctity of marriage where no matter what happens, a man and a woman must be able to work out their differences and live happily.

Sorry this is happening to you and i hope you find peace in your marriage.

Good luck and God bless

Thank you guys..

Congrats and Gods grace on the rest of the journey......Go VSC!!!!!

Pls when did you send your i-129f and when u got ur NOA2..... :thumbs: :thumbs:

Thank you.. we sent our I-129f on march 21 2011 and got our petition approved on July 12. The hard copy came in the mail on July 15th... took 107 days from NOA1 to NOA2

Just woke up this morning to my baby telling me the most wonderful news ever.!! We are APPROVED !!! YeaaaahHHHHH!! It's almost like am dreaming lol.. the feeling is awesome! I'm gonna update my timeline now at last, if only my head could stop spinning ) God is definitely awesome. The key to this journey is patience and prayers guys., trust in God and as long as your feelings for each other is real, it will definitely be your turn one day. We are now looking forward to the rest of this journey, gathering documents for the interview, medicals and whatever else. God bless and good luck to all of us.

Having a baby can mean one of three things:

1) Forgot to use birth control

2) Ignorant of overpopulation and the fact that raising a child costs about $250,000

3) Aware of the fact that raising a child costs about $250,000 but wealthy enough to make one anyway.

None of these is really evidence of a bona fide relationship. Giving one of the kidneys to the spouse would qualify though . . .

LoL.., i think having a baby is a wonderful thing but i also think you sir, sounded pretty funny when u listed it that way..

Amen..! Congratulations to u both. i do believe that the good lord hears the prayers of his people. Good luck also with ur final stages in this journey. It is well

Hey there., i completely understand that feeling., we all do. Hang in there and be thankful to God that u have such a devoted man. You do not necessarily have to pick fights with him to express your frustration, it will only bring more stress to your relationship. The distance between you two is stressful enough, why complicate it further. Good news is that you are almost at the end of your journey.. hang in there
