Good News guys!!! 😊
After the very long wait since last year April 2019 that my wife filed for my i130, today on my way driving back home from woek. I got an Email from National Visa Center(NVC) informing and notifying me that my visa interview has been scheduled to take place on the 16th of December 2020 in Lagos State, Nigeria.  
 
I never expected it, I'm so happy but sad somehow because I just left Lagos yesterday to Port Harcourt  after a 13hours drive. But I'm still super excited! 😊
For those of you in Nigeria still waiting,  just know that there is hope oh abeg!  Felt I should share this good news with you guys..  I really pray I can meet up with the medical and getting a new police report, because my old police report is already expired...   
 
Thanks to all of you here for the constant love and support we show and give to each other...... 👍❤ 
God bless you all.........

That is the normal email response.  They will send a more personal letter, addressing you and/or your case number, when they are ready to schedule or reschedule your specific case.
 
For example, in June the embassy in Ukraine started rescheduling some people who's interviews were cancelled.  When I sent an email asking if they are starting to process visas again, I received a similar response - that due to Covid, the embassy has suspended visa processing.
 
Then in July we were scheduled by the NVC for a late August date.  When I sent an email to the embassy to ask for a different date, I received the same general email.  Then a day later I received a more specific email stating that they had no other date available.
 
Then in the first week of August,  I asked again.  Again, the first email they sent me was that the embassy has suspended visa processing.  Then a few hours later I received another email stating that 2 dates were open and that we could reschedule online.
 
Unless your specific case is ready to be scheduled or rescheduled, you will just get that "visa processing has been suspended" response.

So happy for you and your family!!! Congratulations again.  

Yes, immigrant visas have been issued to some Nigerians since the ban was announced. However, each case is considered based on its merit and the decision to apply a waiver to a case lies with the Visa Officer. 
 

Originals are for sighting purposes only. So you need a photocopy each of all submitted documents and the originals at the interview.  Better to be over prepared than to be found wanting and pushed into Administrative Processing (now Refused) status.

Got email notification this afternoon to pick up my K1visa package and passport... Glorious God 🙏
Issued yesterday and received email notification today...

Every visa application is either issued or refused. It sounds like they were refused with a 221(g) pending additional documentation. Nothing unusual there. It's technically a refusal (as it has to be if documents are missing), but one that can be overcome by providing the documents.
 
Edit: Although I will note that it is NOT an RFE. USCIS issues RFEs. The consulate refuses the visa under 221(g).

I think your visa is about to be issued hence the final confirmation from you about your ability to travel just before your medicals expire. If you state that you do not plan to travel by Mar 27th, they will then require you take another medical exam before the visa is issued. I think you are in the clear.
