Consulate Review: Nigeria Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : August 26, 2014 Embassy Review : I APPLIED FOR A FIANCÉ VISA FEBRUARY 2. MY FIANCÉ HAD HIS INTERVIEW AUGUST 25, 2014 AT THE LAGOS, NIGERIA US EMBASSY. HE WAS DENIED BECAUSE HE ANSWERED YES TO PAYING MY DOWRY WHEN WE MET DECEMBER 2013. THEY SAID I SHOULD APPLY FOR SPOUSAL VISA. I EMAILED THE EMBASSY AND THEY STATED THAT PAYING OF DOWRY IS CONSIDERED MARRIAGE UNDER NIGERIAN CUSTOMARY LAW. THIS IS NOT TRUE, DOWRY ESTABLISHES INTENTION TO MARRY. PAYING OF DOWRY ALONE WILL NOT EVEN MAKE ME ELIGIBLE FOR A SPOUSAL VISA SO HOW CAN THEY DENY HIM? WHAT SHOULD I DO? SHOULD I APPEAL? I AM SO DEVASTATED. I WAITED MONTHS FOR THIS AND EVEN HAD TO GET IT EXPEDITED WITH THE HELP OF MY LOCAL CONGRESSMAN BECAUSE I AM PREGNANT. I AM DUE FOR DELIVERY IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO MY FIANCÉ BY MY SIDE. HOW CAN THEY DO THIS? NIGERIA IS MADE UP OF SO MANY TRIBAL GROUPS/RELIGIOUS GROUPS, WHAT DOES THE EMBASSY KNOW ABOUT THE DIFFERENT CUSTOMS OF MARRIAGE. SOME FEEDBACK WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED! Rating : Very Poor

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.

** Not all cases are transfered
