They started letting us standing in the que at exactly 6:20am. When I entered the Consulate I was first attended to by a CGI officer, I was asked to present my appointment letter, Original Marriage certificate, Birth certificate and police report (s) and proof of relationship Like photos ,Birth certificate of our child and her US/Nigerian passports, receipts and I was then given a number to wait to been called by a consular officer. About 3 hours later I was called by a consular officer. Me : Good morning sir CO : Good morning Asked to then take finger prints CO: You guys met in collage right? Me : Yes Sir. CO: Your wife and your daughter came to Nigeria after your graduation from college right? Me: Yes sir. CO: So both of you speak Chinese? Me : Yes sir but I am more fluent than her CO: I can see your daughter was born in INDIANA, ( He was literally going through our daughter's passports and said wow two passports) . Me: Yes sir 'smile' CO: But she's currently unemployed ? Me : Yes sir, Co: Who is your joint Sponsor? Me: My mother in-law Co: Is she married? Me: No sir. Co: What does she do for a living? Me : Answered Co: When do you all plan on completing your immigration. Me: Answered . Co: But we don't accept this Birth certificate Me: I quickly handed him my attestation of Birth certificate because the CGI officer told me my birth certificate was fine alone and insisted on collecting only my birth certificate. Co: I will approve you, but I will keep your attestation of Birth certificate and ask one of my staff to get it scanned and it will be returned along with your passport in two weeks and then handed me a paper on how to pick up my passport Me : OK, thank You sir. I quickly went outside the building and shared the good news to my wife and she was very excited. My wife and I met in collage and she has been living in Nigeria with me for 3 and the half years now and she has really missed home alot. ( We had to uploaded a lot of documents prior to my interview to show Proof of domicile because we knew we might have an issue on this part since my wife has been residing abroad for a long time but I can I assure you we was well prepared Lol). Note: Do not give up in this process, there was a time I was thinking, wondering if this day was ever gonna come , but I kept the faith and belief, just don't worry and I assure you it will get to your turn. I'm so excited and very greatful to everyone who has been helpful. Goodluck to everyone in this process. Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-130 was approved in 120 days from your NOA1 date.

*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.
