When you were approved did they give him the Visa on the spot at the consulate or does he have to return back in a few days?

He will pick it up from embassy.

I think they are asking you to give the specific details of how it went. Like what questions did they ask? How long did it take? What evidence did they ask for? Stuff like that

Yes. I understand. I will provide details when I have a chance. My work schedule hectic right now.  I may answer little at a time but i will provide details. 

The documents they took was DS-160, I-134 and federal tax documents.

Questions:

Where did we meet. 

When was your fiance last visit.

How many times did fiance visit.

Why hasn't she come back since 2017.

Approved!

 Those were the only questions.

They handed him a stack/ loads of documents I had USCIS send to Consulate. 

It appears they studied our case very well before the interview and knew that we have an authentic relationship.

Thanks for your reply. He was there about half of a day like you stated. We are approved. Thank!

How long is the wait at the embassy

Okay.

 

I had my K1 interview on June 24, 2019 and was asked to submit additional documents at the DHL office. I already gave her copies of my son's birth certificate, my late wife's death certificate and certificate of cause of death but she asked for the additional documents listed below.

 

The documents requested for  on the 221g form were:

 

1. Photos with child at different points of his life.

2. Child heath records / Original health vaccination records

3. Secondary evidence of ex-wife's death: Death notice, funeral program, photos, screenshot of social media postings

 

I told her i had everything except my son's health records / vaccination records and i told her the reasons i can't have them now. She said okay send the others.

 

I sent the following the next day June 25, 2019: 

 

1. Several pictures with my son (over 20) at different times of his life

2. Death notice sent to my ex-wife's employers notifying them of her passing, funeral program, photos of her grave tombstone, screenshots of facebook postings about her passing by me and her friends.

 

I did not get any email that they received my supporting documents. On the CEAC website my case was updated on June 26th, 27th, July 12th.

 

I sent an email to lagosIV last week asking for a status update. I have not heard from them yet. Like you, i am nervous as well. The wait can be so frustrating.

 

Hopefully, we would hear from them soon.
 

how long where you at the embassy for your interview

Here’s the steps I took : 

 

So after I received my NOA2 in the mail, I called NVC consistently to find out if they’ve received my case from USCIS. It took exactly 2 weeks of calling to receive the number from NVC. The day I received the number I called them in the morning and they stated they didn’t have it, then I called in the evening around 6pm and they had a case number for me. When you call them make sure you get both the case  id number and the invoice id number. 

 

Next, 

 

After receiving my case and invoice ID numbers, I started making preparations with my fiancé to go do his medical exam and his police report. 

 

Note : make sure to update your email address with NVC because they’ll contact you over email. I never received any letters from them via mail.

 

 

Find packet 4 online. Consulate won’t send it to you until after they receive your case. At the top where I posted all the links you’ll see a link that has the Packet 4 information I believe. In the packet, it’ll give you information on what you need for the interview, where to do the medical exam and police report and other important information you need for the interview. 

 

Typically, you’ll receive this packet after the embassy receives your case from NVC. 

 

After I obtained my case number from NVC, it took another 2 weeks for it to leave NVC. Meaning it sat at NVC for a month before being sent to the embassy. 

 

While the month was going and we were waiting for NVC to send it to the embassy, we did the medical exam, the police report and paid the visa fee and went ahead and scheduled an interview. Visa fee was $265, medical exam was approximately N100,000 (actually less than but I don’t remember the actual amount) and N7000 for the police can report. 

 

Again, according to my calculations, I calculated it would take two days for the consulate to receive our case, 4 days to receive a packet. But I’d personally suggest emailing the consulate asking for packet 4. Again, if you receive Packet 4 prior to the embassy sending it you don’t really need to request for it again though they’ll still send it. 

 

Medical exam in Nigeria takes 10 days to receive the result. So plan to have enough time to pick up your medical exam to have it ready for the interview. The police report I believe is same day. Just a few hours wait but you can get it the same day (fiancé verified if only took him about an hour) and the visa fee you’ll pay $265 at GTB bank and then use the number on your receipt to set up the interview. 

 

 

Do not wait for NVC they’ll delay the entire process. 

 

 

If you have any more questions please feel free to ask. I just wanted to send out this general message to everyone asking to let them know the steps I took. 

 

How long didit take for your interview. My love is there for 4 hours now.

Glad you grabbed a date as well. Good luck to everyone who is trying to get a date.

Congratulations!!! I wish you the best. I am still trying. The site gives me 2 trys only. After the 2nd try it tells me i am reaching my limit of attempts and to continue but gives me no option to continue. So frustrating

Hally S what date did you confirm?

Paid the fee, completed ds-160 and this is the message we are getting. Has anyone seen this before?

We got our email today also from Lagos so we will pay tomorrow and begin to look for dates. Please post when you get a date. I will be sure to do the same.
