I had a real tough interview. I was asked all sorts of questions, and my interview must have lasted about 20-25minutes. The major setback had to do with our marriage occuring close after hubby's divorce from his previous marriage. Previous marriage started and ended quite shortly too. So according to the CO, it made our marriage seem suspicious. But after 5 years and 2 children........!!!

I was able to answer most of his questions best as i could. He asked what hubby does? checked the stamps on his passports (he asked for copies of his PP, thank God, i had them with me!)to see his goings and comings. Asked how many siblings he has, how many was married. Asked what job the co-sponsor does, asked if he was married, if he had children, where does he live, where does he work.

If I had ever applied for a visit visa b4, and so so many more questions.

At the end he gave me a letter to the High Court requesting them to authenticate the divorce certs. A second letter stating that i was refused visa under section 221g of the law for insufficient documentation, to rebook another appointment with the embassy when i have the requested document ready.

So far...

Got the needed document from the Courts and already sent the email requesting for another interview date.

My question now is this: what happens next, does anybody know? Would i have to go through the whole drill again? or would they just deal with the requested document?

Pls tell meif u know.

F2A from my husband, for me and our children.

Generally, they just deal with the document they asked for. They may have a few more questions. In most Consulates, you would only submit the documents without speaking to an actual Consular Officer but in Lagos, it's more common to have a second interview when the document(s) are submitted.

Sorry to hear the news Admire. I guess people don't really know what kind of advice to give for Lagos and the folks who have been through Lagos aren't on here as often. I'm sure someone with some experience will chime in soon. I don't have any experience with them yet or I would share.

Pushbrk, thanks for your response.

They have asked for a validated document, while you are doing this they may go through the rest of the file and ask some minor questions but I wouldn't expect a stage one grilling. Did they keep any other documents ? They may be checking those. Lagos is so hard to say anything for sure. They sometimes deny at ramdom.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

Sorry for the late replies. Since you have all the documents ready to be submitted, make sure that you email the consulate requesting for another interview date. As I previously stated in one of your other post, there's no definite answer as to if you will get approved, denied, placed on AP, many different scenarios. It depends on the discretion of the Counsalar officer. Please dont be discouraged. I was once in your shoes. Be prayerful and have faith. Goodluck and please let us know the outcome. All the Best.
