Part One of the Review: NVC >>>Embassy>>>>Packets>>>Getting Interview Date
This reply is based on a process in evolution. I intend to write a detailed account of this process that hopefully will stay in the Nigeria Embassy review section for awhile. It has certainly taken a lot of energy trying to sift out information where they maybe in previous threads. Other site members- Taye500, Neya, Sercontigo, Alyce- to mention a few have been very helpful and i thank them. If you are like me and you obsess over “things going according to plan” you are welcome to read through this review and return for updates. If you are more spontaneous, you may find this read a bit boring………….
My timeline also explains further. This is what i have observed from our own process. NVC often turns the case files around very quickly once received from USCIS (sometimes the very next day). NVC sent my files to Lagos (presumably on 9/7/2006). This information was received b... read complete review

apart from the waiting period, it was a stressfree day for me. everyone was real friendly and if you are the outgoing type you want to interact with other people and hear there cases. my appointmnet time is 7am and i was there by 6am/ i was called around 8am to submit my affidavit of support, birth certificate and the finaicail documents i have, three hours later i was called for the interview. after the swearing and the thumpprint. the lady asked me how i met my fiance, his hobbies, if he has brothers and sisters, if he met my parents, what made me choose him, and she only asked to see the pictures of both of us together.

My fiancé arrived at the embassy around 5 AM. There were approximately 10 to 15 people already waiting, but he was able to arrange it to where he was the first person in line. About 6:30, a security officer checked everyone's paperwork and verified it and then issued yellow slips based on the type visa the person was there to receive. Around 7AM an attendant came out and led the line of interviewees into the embassy. After inside, another set of security officers collected the yellow slip of paper after separating K-1 visa applicants to another line. Within 10 minutes a black lady called his number and she asked for his documents and collected them (approval forms, medical, and affidavit of support) and instructed him to go and sit down. Within a few minutes, a white lady called his name and then at a counter while standing she asked his name and she asked my name (fiancée’s name). She asked how we met each other. She asked him about my line of work. She asked where I lived, my... read complete review

Well, this process has taken forever. When we first had our interview we were told that it would only take a few months. Well after waiting 7 months I returned to Nigeria and went to the embassy to find out what was going on. They werent replying to my emails so I did it in Person. That wasnt much help. But I didnt find out that they had just started to process our case again. So we waited and waited. Sept 05 one year from our last interview. My husband was returning to the Embassy on a weekly bases for them to have him go and get more documents. It was crazy I was fed up and Pregnant I contacted my Congressman and he looked into in. Finally In Decemeber 1 month before I was due. The embassy said that we would have to presue another Visa or due the K3 over again. Well the CR1 we had started in the being so we choose to finish it. They never gave us a direct reason why. That is why the Congressman is still fighting it. They are very harrsh at the embassy. Just make sure y... read complete review

The following is me and my now husband's interview experience at Lagos in June 2005. This information will be beneficial for genuine Nigeria-USC Couples who want to diminish the stress of going thru this difficult consulate.
General Tips for Dealing with Lagos
1. You must do your research! Every case is different so you must understand what could possibly be viewed as being a problem by the consulate. Carefully review others experiences so you know what to expect. Start this well ahead of your interview day so you can rectify any possible problems in time.
2. Related. You must be prepared and well organized. Keep all your paperwork in such a way that everything can easily be located and that you have all the necessary details and papers.
3. Have ample proof of your relationship. I can only speak about going through the K1 experience but the consulate namely looks for emails and pictures. Print out every single email correspond... read complete review
