Congratulations.
-
Idocare thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences with everyone. Although, I rarely post in this forum, I love stopping by to read the comments.
Right now marriage statistics in the U.S say that one in every two marriages ends in divorce. So regardless of what nationality your spouse is from, those odds speak tell the story. Whether you are married to a Nigerian, American, Canadian or anyone else relationships are always built on trust.
As a Nigerian man, it breaks my heart to read about the acts of my fellow Nigerians. However, not all men act the same way or with similar intentions. “Love conquers all” and I would strongly suggest that you get to know your spouses or fiancé and his or her family very well before marriage. I wish I could list tell tale signs of fraud or other signs to tip you off, but I don’t know any.
The only advice I can give anyone here is getting your spouse connected to people outside the typical Nigerian network. My dad always says “Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are.” Which might be your most difficult task will help insulate him from bad advice from his so called friends.
Not to say my marriage is perfect, but I cannot imagine under any circumstance leaving my wife. My wife has not worked in over a year because she was studying for the bar examination here in New York. It has not been easy, but The Lord blessed me with a great job and I have been able to support her and encourage her throughout the process and passed the NYS bar exam in November. I have not pressured her to find a job, because in God’s time all these things work out. I still do the laundry, clean the house and do everything else without being told because that is what love does.
My wife has met several of my Nigerian friends, (I don’t have many) and they are all married to Americans. With beautiful kids and have great relationships with their in-laws. Not one of them is divorced and they are all successful professionals in their respective fields. I think taking time to know the person and individual before making these decisions is the most important thing. It took me sixteen months to propose to my wife and another year before the wedding. We both wanted to make sure that this person was the one, because you really only get one chance to get this right regardless of the person’s nationality.
I love this forum and please keep sharing your thoughts. God bless.

Congratulations!!! on passing the interview.
-
What's up with these duplicate NOA's that they are mailing out. I sometimes don't get USCIS. How soon after these letters should we expect our interview letters.
All we can do at this point is wait.
-
Congratulations!!! that was quite fast, considering that a couple of people from the November thread are still waiting for interview letters.
So who's next?
-
yes you probably will get a request for a new set of finger prints. I had mine done in May 2008 and got a request for biometrics again in December.
-
I don't see how an immigration lawyer will speed up your process. I believe the processing times are the same for everyone regardless of whether you have an attorney or not. Filling out the paperwork is quite easy and you can save a lot of money on attorney fees.
-
Congratulations on your approval, your journey finally ends. Hopefully you get the oath letter soon.

Congratulations!!!

My wife and I have been married now for almost four years and it has been like any marriage. We've had great moments, terrible moments and trying times. Looking at everything in comprehensively, I still love my wife and would not trade her for any other woman.
The truth is that we are all different in our own way; Americans, Nigerians or wherever you are from. Nationality does in no way determine success in marriage. At the end of the day, we put all things in God's hands.
Happy New Year to everyone and may 2009 be a blessed, healthy and prosperous one for you and your families.
