Off to the NVC we go!!!

What to cook, what to cook! Breakfast, I guess!!

There is an old expression " Actions speak louder than words". Please think about this.

Ok so 14 b is a yes or no question right. so ther is no leaving blank. and I'm not 100% sure about #21 but since it is your legal resdience in Nigeria I would say yes. It should count.
On a personal note, I totally understand the time off, God's favor to you with the filing and congrats on the wedding, soo happy for you both. I filed and recieve my NOA1 it was bitter sweet, but the count down has started again.. Take care
Chi

Greetings,
If I may be a little bit nosy.. I would like to hear from only two kinds of petitioners, (Nigerian filers would be helpful but any consulate feel free to respond) Those who did the I-30 successfully first time, without lawyers help and may have had 1-2 red flags and those who did a K-1 visa first,were denied for what ever reason and filed the I-30, BEFORE GETTING INFORMATION BACK ON THE REASON FOR DENIAL, and was successful with their I-30..
My question, How did you file, front loading,or basics, and what to YOU BELIEVE .. made this filing successful.. not the interview, but wat did your paperwork included, or not include that made your petition and documents work for in your case???
Thanks,
Chi

Thanks Darnel and B&K.
I've spent the evening glossing over the spousal visa stuff and what comes screaming across to me is thatI absolutely wasted my time on the K1 dealio.
This CR1 seems to be the way to really go. Lesson learned.
I like your list Darnel of how you did your stuff.

Congratulations!

Congrats

Congrats!, I pray that it works out, so that he will be here soon.

Congratulations and good luck with everything Chi. Happy Birthday in Advance!
God Bless you and your future husband.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Congratulations!
**Moved to K1 Progress Reports

CONGRATS!!! The lord is with u two. By the way u r my birthdate mate 22nov:)

Chi, my heart aches for you, soo sorry that now you have been delayed. For your next move K1 or CR1, I don't think that Lagos is hung up on age differene only because I just turned 42 and my fiance just 26, I have one 6 yr old and fiance none yet, but I made sure that we had so much evidence, Facebook screenshots, Skype, Messinger, Rebtel, Voxophone, Google voice, my tel entire bills with call logs and highlited our calls to each other , made sure all was in folders and all well organized, I overkilled evidence left no room for denial, but souds like your CO may have gotton up on the wrong side of the bed you your day of interview. Whichever way you choose next you will be fine prayed for you good luck with your next move and please keep hanging in there.

I learned something new.
An American citizen cannot take an incidental picture of the Embassy yet foreigners can take pictures of the White House.
This is apolitical issue for me especially during this election, I believe that we do indeed have too much government.
But I digress. Again.
Chi, I'm elated to read that you're not giving up. Work with your Fiance, I am certain he is in a depressive mood right now so cheer him up as much as you can.
Good luck to you Guys.

Anyone can take a picture of the White House . No one is supposed to photogranph the embassy. It doesn;'t matter you nationality, They post all over the street no photos allowed.

Hi Chi! Once again sorry for your minor setbacks and yes you'll certainly overcome your case by getting married since the CO wanted to make sure you are no more in love with your ex... How else could you prove that other than legally marrying your new love, Kingsley? The second and the major reason for this denial is in violating the embassy security rule as it was so upsetting to the CO... You can overcome this also by genuinely marrying your fiancee... I think the CO didn't have any challenge about your age diff and having kids so that's a positive indication of better thing ahead of you in the next round which if you choose will be cr-1 journey... If you were able to marry and file this year you will have the chance of reuniting with your husband by september 2013 hopefully... Wishing you all the best

Sorry Chi,it is one of those things in life.It's just unfortunate that he fell into the hands of the wrong interviewer.From my own opinion i would advice you to file a new petition ASAP.A fresh K1/CR1 depending on the one your mind leads you to.Waiting on the respond of the recent denial is just a waste of time,i may sound so discouraging but that's just the truth.Seeing him again in a couple of months for interview in Lagos by same petitioner is more than enough to convince them that you guys are in for real.Don't waste time trying to wait,make your plans now.I live in Tempe AZ,feel free to contact me whenever you want.I am a beneficiary of a K1 petition.

WOW! What a horror, there must be something else you can do in order for you guys to be together soon... I'm so sorry to hear about your terrible experience.... Can you get a lawyer or go to a congressman or something of that sort....???

So sorry to hear this! I hope somethings opens up for you guys, so that you can be together. I will be praying for you both.

I am sorry for what happened to you and your loved ones. but dont give up. last year in semptember, My husband was denied the fiance visa, so I went home the same month and we did the court marriage, I came back and reapplied, and by the grace of God was approved for the CR-1 visa yesterday. It can be done, all hope is not lost. I know its not fair but if you go the fiance way again, it could turned downed again. So just calm down, it will be fine. Get legal advice or hire an attorney to help this time, Go back home as soon as you can, do the court marriage and reapply. I know it looks like a long time, I felt that way too last year, but before you know it, hes here. Please dont give up.

Thanks Chi.
I knew that you'll have a temporary period of disappointment but also knew you'll rebound quickly and spring right back into action - I'm so proud of you.
So continue the good fight and we are all praying for you Guys. They used such a bogus denial reason.
I actually read on another denied post that there is a class action lawsuit going on on behalf of us K1 folks. Apparently there is a memo from USCIS to DOS not to arbitrarily denied approved petitions unless they have solid evidence of fraud or misrepresentation that can withstand a court challenge.
I'm starting to think the immigrant section of the Embassy is a money grab as we've submitted tons of evidence to USCIS and we've been approved there.
Keep researching, email, contact, etc it will happen.

Sounds like one day all these anornalies will be put to rest, sigh! Chi, I'm so proud of you even in this hard time you still manage to inspire others... May God see you through soonest in Jesus name, amen!

I want to thank everyone for your support, help, humor, and sharing through this journey.. Kingsley will go for the interview tomorrow.. We are excited and a little nervous.. But no matter what tomorrow holds for us. We know who holds tomorrow.. So it has to be alright.. Of course we want and are praying for the BIG APPROVAL.. and so I thank you all now.. Lets claim it and celebrate know..becasue all will be well..
Peace,
Chi
