I thought of that but doesn't that take butter or milk.

There is butter in nigeria. BLue band butter, its not like american butter, but it's butter. You can use evaporated milk to substitue fresh milk. How about pasta? with the sauce? You can buy pasta and pasta sauce here, and buy some local meat in nigeria.

Thanks Guys!

hello vjers. today is my interview @ 10.am in bridgetown barbados

Coog luck!

The infrastructure of Lagos state is getting worse. The Okota area of Lagos has gone weeks with no power at all and when it comes there is a mad rush to iron and charge phones. When I was in the village it was also primitive.

Dear NigeriaorBust, I understand, we need prayer in that country. But the lagos Governor Fashola is doing alot to make the lives of lagosians easier for example, i was there this Aug, and i saw lots of road contruction going on. My husband's family lives in Ikotun and we didnt see light for the whole 2wks i satyed. We were operating the generator 24/7.

World travel for Nigerians is limited to those that are scammers and those that are eating the money from the oil fields. You attacked me as if ovens and electricity are standard in Nigeria. Even in Lagos most people struggle to survive. In the average home you don't find such luxuries and electricity gets rarer and rarer.

"World travel for Nigerians is limited to those that are scammers"? My father is not into the oil business neither is my mom. My father is an business man (he sells packaged goods, e.g powdered iyan etc) and my mother is a teacher. My mother in-law is a teacher, and my father in=law is Manager in Brisco. We have an oven in our home, we are world travelers, and we didnt get our traveling papers through scamming. Yes its true that people eat money in Nigeria, but not all of it is from stealing. Please do not make the assumption that all Nigerians are scammer its an ignorant way of thinking. Electricity is getting rarer, and rarer in nigeria because of the management skills of our government. But that doesnt stop you from having a gas cooker. I think you should educate yourself about Nigeria before making assumptions.

I am looking for ideas of things that I can make there. No oven , no electricity. Primitive cooking with camp like burners. What can I fix there that they might like ? I was thinking pancakes. Is there anything you have had luck with ? Can you get butter or milk there ?

My dear, have ever visited Nigeria? There's no such thing as primitive cooking in Nigeria. We have stove, gas cooker, and electric cooker. Depending on your economical level. FYI: You can make anything there as long as you have the money. If u will be staying lagos/ Abuja, you can go to SHOP RITE there u can get american food like pasta, minced beef. chicken etc.

Just received an e-mail from NVC!!! They have scheduled my husband for NOV 10th 2009 @ 7am! :dance: IR-1 / CR-1 Visa

count me in, guys.

completed at sep 8, but it's so dry since then .....

Nice to see you Armin!!!!

Hey gang, while we are waiting around, maybe we can trade info. Like what are we bringing to interview. And is the petitioner gointp to attend the interview also? I plan to attend, and bring all new evidence to the interview, from emails, chats, phone bills, etc. Im just adding to the 12 pound notebook I sent to USCIS. I also enclosed our life insurance polcies on each other with our eviedence notebook.

Along with my divorce decree form another marriage, my birth cert, and a utility bill.

Im also keep any more pay stubs I aquire from work and adding on to the copy of the AOS packet I sent NVC.

Im going to need a seprate suitcase for the evidence to embassy.

So what you yous planning for interview? Lets inform each other, and be prepared, we have 1 shot at it, lets make it count.

Burnt my grilled cheese sandwich, but thought also of enclosing bank statement of our joint checking and savings account to show we both make transactions in these accounts, but have 1 problem, I sent USCIS every single pics of us together, I have no new ones. but I have 4 DVD's of our time together when I was in Paris, think security at embassy will allow me to take in the DVD's??

Lol paris heart. Make another one! And make some for the group too.

i have started gathering evdience of our relationship also. But i wont be going to nigeria for the interview. Because i just got back from seeing my SO this past month. We have pics of us, his family, and mine, we dont own anything together i hope that wont be a problem. I have sent all the copies of the dcos i sent to UCIS, and NVC to my SO. Our phone records, skype, facebook, and e-mails transcations will also we included.

Mine was completed on sept 1st. I called the 2nd week of this month, i was told they did bot schedule my case for october interview. I the operator told me to call back 2nd week in october.

Guys, I got sign in failed at NVC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Both petitions done at NVC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

finally congrats!

I just wanted to thank all those who have contributed info to this wonderful community. And to those who took the time to answer the questions my husband and I had during our journey through this process. With the wealth of information here, we confidently filed our paperwork without the help or need of an attorney. Also, I was a lot nervous before the interview, because I did not have my I-94 with me. In our files were photocopies though, and I did take my plane ticket that was used to enter the country (which the IO did not even look at, but he was a very nice man). The interview was on the 2nd of September and I received my Greencard in the mail on the 15th! THANK YOU ALL!!!

congrats!

When am I going to have my interview?

Sorry it's taking so long..... Maybe Nov just keep calling NVC.

Interview date:

Well I booked in with Dr Charles (Dr. Okraglik) in Port Melbourne (His real name is Ogblobballlldwetgs but I can't spell it or pronounce it, either can he it seems koz he calls himself Dr Charles) and I was due at 10am.

I arrived at 9am (haha! early bird!) and I went in at 9:15am and they gave me some paperwork to fill out, with a laminated sheet of instructions on how to fill it all out.

On the phone prior, they asked me to bring 4 passport photos, but they only took ONE of them today and attached it to my records. Oh well...

Oh yes, I got American sized photos beforehand (2x2) and they turned out perfect. For those of you in Australia, ####### Smith did them for me for $4 for 6 photos. Pretty good price I think!

Anyway, so I filled out my forms, was expecting a urine test, so I was full of pee, and they didnt ask me for one!

I sat for about half an hour then the nurse came and took my blood pressure (HIGH!!!) and then weighed me (AAAAH) then my height (short ####) and then she took me to the end of the hallway where there was a guy to xray my chest.

I got put in a room which looked like a closet, and I had to change into my gown for the xray. My half sleeve of tattoos got attention from the old xray guy who said it looked like a rainforest on my arm (its flowers and bugs) and he proceeded to tell me to stand in front of a wall, and breathe in and hold my breath til he said I could stop. I let out a massive cough/splutter when that was done and I almost stuffed up the xray hahaha. OOPS!

Anyway after that, I got dressed, then went to get my blood test. The guy doing the blood test was awesome. He was young and he was super friendly. He said he has never been out of Australia and thought Kentucky sounded awesome. Yaay. He then took my blood, on my non tattooed arm, and then said good luck and I went to wait for the DOCTOR!

Doctor came out pretty quick, I had been told he wasn't that friendly but he was cool with me. He took my blood pressure again, this time it was NORMAL and then he said "thats better, you must have been nervous when the nurse did it earlier" NO ###### BUDDY!!!! haha.

He then got me to pull up my top (oooh) and did the heart beat stuff, and breathing in and out while he listened. Then he got me to open my mouth, he checked that, checked my ears then asked me a series of questions.

He asked if I drink, NO. Smoke, NO. Have I been in trouble with the law, NO. How old am I, 28. He asked me that 3 times actually, I wonder if he was checking to see if I was insane.

Then I got my ankles checked, I have a fused left ankle with lots of scars so he asked me about that, and about a breast reduction I had 2 years ago. He also asked about pap smears and breast exams, I said I have had both in the past year.

He asked if I ever had chicken pox... NO. So I had to get tenanus, varicella (chicken pox vaccine) and ummmm oh yeah, the measles/mumps/rubella as I didn't have an update since I was a child.

So after that, he pressed on my stomach, pelvis, arms, neck, chest, and then saw more tattoos and he made me explain every tattoo, where I got it, if it was an actual tattoo artist, then what they all were and he wrote them all down on my forms!!!!! He said afterwards "wow you like body art huh?" and I said "my husband has more than I do" and he and I both laughed then he said "you will make a good couple then!"

After that, he said I looked fit and healthy and to go wait for my vaccinations and he would post me my results in a week.

I waited half an hour for my 3 vaccines, two in one arm, one in the other.. then I went to get my eyes tested, and I had to take my glasses off and my right eye couldnt read ANY of the letters haha so she let me put my glasses on and laughed about it.

I then paid for it all... Here is the awful part!!!

$330 for the day... PLUS the three vaccines was a total of.... $509!!!!

AARRRGGGHHH!

I asked if I could claim it on Medicare.. nope... DOH!

So I left, about 3 hours after arriving, a pretty happy girl.. but sore from all the needle jabbing hahah.

Hope this helps anyone nervous about their medical, and also about the doctor in Melbourne. I would totally reccommend Dr Charles Okraglik.. he was fabulous and really kind.

The nurses were great too, and all wished me luck.

The premises have everything there, and I've heard Dr Poppenbok in Melbourne doesn't have it all at his surgery so you have to go down the road for xrays etc...

Good luck with the interview and medical!

I sent an email to the lagos consulate last week asking if they have received my packet since when i tracked it on DHL website, I saw it was sent out by NVC on August 26th and received in lagos on August 31st but they emailed me back after giving sending me countless FAQ responses that they do not have my record on their files yet, i called DOS this morning, spoke to a very nice lady who called NVC to find out when my packet was sent to Lagos only to tell me it was sent electronically on August 26th and mailed out same day so my question will not be does the DHL mail take 2 weeks to get to Lagos or do they just have alot of paperwork to process which might be the reason my case number is not on their records yet? I hope we all get our interview dates soon and favor and success all the way.

Yes, it usually takes a month before they say that they have recieved your physical case. Personally I think it's a bunch a bull especially when we have proof that it was delivered by DHL on a certain date and then they continue to tell you that they don't have it. I got really frustrated one time and emailed them and said "I know my package was delivered, it was sigend off by_______" .....lol.... of course they didn't comment on that but sent the regular they haven't recieved it yet email.

wow this is really sad. Are you saying US embassy in Nigeria are the ones that will schedule the interview date? I called NVC yesterday, and they said i should call back on the 22 of sept.
