Shawnda just make sure that you take lots of pictures with family and friends. Also, start a paper trial of phone records, and emails very important. Make sure your husband is well prepared that is the key, and have lot and lots of proof! Your husband should get through it with know problems. One more thing, when you get married make sure you marry at a Federal registry.

Best wishes!

My husband was approved for his visa. Your journey has just begun, and if you follow these steps. Everything should be ok. The key is being prepared way in advance. Do not let him walk in there with nothing; he will come out of there with nothing. Make sure you need to print out phone records along with your phone bill records. He needs to have wedding pictures with friends and family members in them. Also, you need to have emails of yours and his print out and bounded. Everything should be NEAT and in order. Print out everything you get from UCIS and NVC and have him print out and put in a binder. The Key is paper trail and pictures you want to prove that this is a bon a fide relationship. Before, he gets his interview date you should rehearse and ask him question that you think they might ask. For example, how do you communicate? Who petition for you? These are standard questions. If you start now with your paper trail you should have a successful interview.

Best wishes!

Congratulations to the both of you and best wishes! Hip Hip Hooray!

Thank you for the comments! Yes, I have a tracking number, but it keeps telling me Origin Preparing Shipment. My husband went to his Post office in Nigeria, and they said it is in California he saw it. So, I guess i have to take some patience on my part. However, the computer should say were it is at. Thanks again for the help.

Has anyone had their spouse send them registered mail from Nigeria, and how long does it take it to come to US? My hubby sent me important docs on 7/27/11, and I have not received them yet? How long does it take? Thanks!

Congrats! I am so happy for u best wishes!

Congrats on the beautiful news!

check Orbitz they might have some good deals on flights

He has not received a date yet, but he is starting to receive information on his packet 3 which in the process now. Once he is finished with that the packet 4 for will come into play and then he will receive a date. I hope that would give you a better idea. I hope all works out for all.

That's almost a month!! Oh goodness, I really think patience is a virtue. Thanks for your response!!

Did they give him a date yet? I am not sure what the DS3230 is, but I hope it goes well with you. I appreciate your response. Will keep praying and keep my fingers crossed. Thanks!

It took my husband to get any notification from NVC was about a month. His paper work was approved on May 2, 2011, and they sent out the next step on 5/13/11. My husband did not get the information until 6/8/11, now he has to fill out the DS3230. I tell you it is a waiting game we all have to hang in there.

I have waited almost a couple of weeks now that my case has been transferred to the US Consulate in Nigeria. We still have not heard a word since then regarding a date for the interview. I am beginning to get anxious. Is it possible something happened? I emailed the US Consulate a couple of weeks ago, and I still have not heard anything back. Can someone let me know their experience after the case was approved at the NVC, how long it took to get to the embassy, what they had to do during this period, and how soon they got a scheduled date. This wait can be killing. Please help!

If that happened will the K3 visa will be changed to a CR1? This what exactly happened to me my husband's paperwork was approved on May 2, 2011, and both the I 130 and I 129F were approved on the same day. The I 129F was sent to embassy in Nigeria.
