Here's my review!
 
Had my interview today 
And it was approved!
Got to the embassy 6am for my 6:45am appointment. At about 6:20am, an officer came to address the crowd and asked the immigrant visa applicants for 6:30, 6:45 and 7am to form a queue with our appointment letter, after that, he asked that our sealed medical reports be opened  then we were asked to come in to be checked. Once cleared we moved toward the guy that assigns number, he confirms your name on the appointment list and then ask you to go towards the door to move to the next stage.
 
We had one more security check before getting into the embassy building.
I got in at about 7:10am and then joined another queue. Waited for about 10mins then it was my turn, so I went to the window.
 
The guy smiled and said good morning, and I responded with a smile also. Then he asked for my appointment letter , after handing that over to him, he asked me to bring out my original certificates ( birth, marriage and police ) and then left to fetch my file. Came back checked the originals, and then returned them back to me, but held on to the original police certificate. He then asked for my passport n two passport photograph. After handing that over, he returned the pictures my husband sent with the application and returned copies of the certificates also. He then asked me to go and that I'd be called soon...
 
Another wait began.......
After waiting for about 20mins. My name was called to come for finger prints. Did that and went back to my seat.
About 5mins later, 
The CO called my number, 
Walked up to her and she also greeted me with a smile.
And asked me to raise my right hand then she said "you swear that everything in the file is true and correct" and I responded yes. And she was like, then, let's begin but first, I'd need to confirm your prints again. We did that, then the interview started.
 
Who is calling you to the US?
How did you meet?
When?..... Month n year
Why did you marry in Dec.
What type of marriage did you have?
Do you have your wedding pictures here?
May I see them?
So what does your husband do?
Name of the company?
Where is it located?
How often do you speak?
What's the time difference ?
Either of you been married before?
Do you have kids?
Where do you live and have you lived any where else?
And then she smiled and said visa approved.
And gave me 3papers
1. Immigrant visa fee
2. Visa collection address
3.pamphlet that states my rights n all as a spouse of a US citizen.
And I was done!

In all it was a good experience...
And it seems the COs today were in a really good mood, everyone before me got approved! Except for an elderly woman and its because she didn't have her medical reports yet.

Congratulations!!!!! 🎊🎉😁😁😁

Hi guys, i had my interview yesterday  at the Nigerian embassy and I was approved
This afternoon i received an email and text message on my phone that my passport is ready for collection. I then checked my CEAC status and it says ISSUED!! I am super excited. I wish everyone on this platform all the very best
For those having their interview in August, I wish you all the best of luck and those expecting to get their interview dates too.
This platform was extremely helpful in preparing me for my interview. Thank you all for all the questions and answers proffered to them.

I just finished my interview at the Embassy
I am approved
God willing!
 

Thank you to the following for your messages from "Case Complete to Interview August 2017" forum

Thank you!!   So true, but I'm a bit worried about @beppenyc... They said approved.. now his status says refused.. Hoping it's just a glitch in their system. 
 
Thank you!!   That's Awesome!! Congrats on getting your interview date for your daughters!! 
 
Thank you!!   such kind words. 
 
Thank you!!    YAY.. You know I LOVE DANCING!!

Thank you!! 
Thank you!!  
Thank you!!  
Thank you!!  
 
Thank you!!  
Thank you!!  
Thank you!!  I'll def stick around for a bit more. Being a part of this wonderful VJ community has inspired me to look for jobs working in Immigration. hopefully I'll find something upon my return to the US.. Meanwhile, please keep up your strong/positive support here as well. Let me know the day you run out of "likes". You're limited to giving only 50 likes a day.. I'm already out.. 
Thank you!!  
Thank you!! :) You know I love dancing!! ;) Thanks for the dancers. ;) 
Thank you!! :)
Thank you!! :)
 
Thank you!! :) Hope you get out of AP very soon!! Even though they said we were approved, I'm a bit worried as there computers were down.... Keep us posted. 
Thank you!! :)
 
Thank you!! :) So true what you say... Really grateful that it finally became an option for us.. We'll be celebrating 11 years together in October. We'll also be moving in October. So it's a new start and we hope to start a family via surrogacy and or adoption if all works well.  Thank you so much for your kind words. Very touching. Also I wish you the best. The NVC seems to be processing faster.. I'll be sending you positive energy/vibes in hopes you get that CC ASAP. ;) hugs sweetie! Please keep up the great work on the forum. ;) Love your energy and support you give our VJ community. 
 
 
Thank you!! :)
Thank you!! :)
Thank you!! :) Will try my best. ;) 
Thank you!! :)
Thank you!! :) 
 
Thank you everyone again for all of your support. Being a part of this community has kept me busy and made the entire process a lot easier.. I remember when I started this journey a year ago, I was so overwhelmed and was stressed out about it all.. But I wasn't active at all on the forum until reaching the NVC stage..  We were all at a lost, not understanding a thing on how the NVC processed our cases.. 
 
What I've learned by creating the spreadsheet.... 
 
Using a lawyer does NOT mean you're safe from receiving a checklist. Nor does it allow you to process your case faster. 
CC's timing is based on the country where you come from.. Even though the NVC tells us "they're processed in the order they're received".. YEAH but not everyone is trained to review every country or the language.. So this is why that logic is misleading... 
There is no such thing as "under review".. Well maybe there is but there is no average waiting time when you reach that department.. 
When you start to detest the NVC hold music, you have done one of 2 things if not both...Been on hold too long or have called too many times.. hahahah
Getting a checklist SUCKS!! Out of 254 cases on our spreadsheet, 70 cases received a checklist which delayed their case.. HOPEFULLY your info will continue to prevent future NVC filers from having one.. People have already posted on the forum stating they made corrections to their files based on the checklist feedback!! @trininurse, please keep tagging people onto your forum to share stories about their checklists.. Thank you to all those that received a checklist for all of your contribution. 
 
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
I thank you all for all of your contribution and the creators of VJ!! Without all of us working together, we couldn't have learned what we have learned.. We would have been lost and even more frustrated with the process.. And alone.. It's been so nice to have a community to come to share this experience with. Even though we come from so many countries and visa types, we're a little bee colony working together to reach one goal!! GET THE VISA!!! So that we can be reunited with our loved ones, return home, work in the US and/or start a new life. Keep working away everyone helping newbies and supporting one another through the difficult/good times.. I'll stay around as long as I can and I hope everyone else does too!! Now it's time to dance!!! (oops, out of emojis- only 75 allowed)
BIG HUGZ!!! Wishing everyone GREAT LUCK!!!!
