Wishing for all of you guys to get your approvals ASAP! 
Remember that the NOA2 is not even half of the journey for the K-1 (waiting for NVC to receive case, getting a case# assigned, case getting shipped to you guy's respective embassies, receiving P3, medical examinations, appointment availability & how to proceed for each country according to embassy instructions, etc.) so be prepared 🏋️‍♀️ 🏋️‍♂️!!!

While I am not familiar with Nigerian or African culture as a whole, the fact that you guys have had little visits on top of having separated for a whole year and not having enough evidence for an actual bonafide marriage, these are massive red flags and I do not see this being successful, specially with Lagos being one if not the toughest embassy, I'm sorry.  
I'd recommend to have him be there with you for as long as possible (just to 100% settle if the both of you wish to be in that relationship) or just have him move there altogether if you both are definitely sure that you guys are indeed what you each want. If the idea of living in the U.S. still is what you both desire, then you can file, but as of right now, I can't recommend that. 
If you do decide to go through the CR-1 route, I only wish you the very very best and that everything plays out in your favor because you have a tough tough road ahead of you that could even take a couple of years. Expect not even bumps but mountains to be put in front of you.

Yep, yep, yep, yep & yep! (I could've gotten my medical results in the same day if I wanted even!) 
All done 😄!
We tread very carefully with all matters  immigration. Immigration is definitely a delicate matter and it's a process that deserves to be respected.
Thank you for the concern nonetheless 

Something happened the other day that really put things in perspective for me:
 
We are waiting for an attorney in Venezuela to have a document notarized and shipped to my fiancée in Panama.  We were expecting the document to arrive this week, and my fiancée hadn't been able to get in contact with the attorney in Venezuela (she is normally very responsive).
 
It turns out that there was an electrical blackout in the entire country for almost two days, and everything came to a screeching halt in the country.
 
I couldn't help but think about the people who didn't have backup generators, had food spoiling in the refrigerator, couldn't get to work, had no air conditioning, hot water, etc.  That's on top of the turmoil that they were already experiencing.
 
Needless to say, that document became a little less important in my mind.

Long time no see everyone! (As in less than a week haha) 
Excited because status changed to Ready and we are going full throttle at this interview !

Hello beautiful people. 
Just wanted to update over here that we called today once again and we got our case number, according to the Julian calendar, it was assigned on the 10th too. 
Best of luck to everyone out there! 

It means just what it says, the shipment has been picked up by the shipping company (DHL) and is on its way ("unto the air") to the final destination. Your Embassy.

I believe so - that the shipping company DHL picked up the package and will be moving it to wherever the next place is. 

They told me 8 weeks also but it took 2 business days. 

I just got off the phone, the NVC told met they received my file today! 😁😁😁😁😁 They haven't assigned a case nr yet though and told me that issuing one could take UP TO 8 WEEKS. But I will keep haunting them 😇

I hope much success is sent your way 😄!

Interview scheduled for 8/29 🙌🎊🤞

Preach! I still remember myself right at the very beginning of this whole thing, panicky & fidgety as hell asking questions left & right about everything 🤣
I've always commended @Greenbaum for not losing his haha.

Find your subforum and start reading and asking questions. I'm onto the next class. 

We're like Siri... Never sleep.

IN TRANSIT!!!! Thank you for answering our dumb questions, @Greenbaum!!!
