Good evening all,
I picked up my port with my visa this morning my interview was November 10th, see below how it went:

I was interviewed by the same black male consular that was asking a lot of questions that looks like drilling, I was saying to myself that I don’t wish to be called by him though but after all questions and verification he approved me.

Questions:
1. Have you ever lived in another country for more than six months?
2. Have you committed a crime before?
3. Who’s your petitioner?
4. How many times has she visited?
5. How do you meet her ?
6. When I said Facebook he asked me how I found her, was I just searching for people on Facebook? I said Fb brought her page for me as ppl you may know then he started questioning about mutual friend and I was able to scale through.
7. Tell me about your fiancé ?
8. Then he paused me and started questioning about her kids.
9. What does she do ?
10. What do you do ?
11. Where do you work ?
12. Have you given her money before? Like financial ? Thank God that there was a time I ed her with a token through cash app so I printed the receipt with me and I was able to tell him with confidence that yes I have helped her before and I have the prove here with me, though he did not ask for prove.
13. Is that the only time you helped her ? I said and many other time that she visited I took her out and pay the bills.
14. He took my attestation of birth and show me an error that could have caused a problem, on attestation my mother’s first name is Taiwo and on petition it is Taiye but I had to keep telling him that they are both the same name and meaning in Yoruba culture but I shake small o coz the guy really worry me on that.
15. When did you both started talking?
16. Where did she stay during her visits ?

Lastly, he asked for divorce decree and he then said congratulations.

A lot of people were approved that day but only two people that I know of got denied because of just a little error, one was error of signature and money sent to his fiancé and the other is irregular answers or not sure.
Prepare well and early enough, those guys are ready to approve as well as ready to deny.
Good luck to everyone waiting for interview.

Congratulations. That was a lot of questions but glad you confidently answered them all.

Please I would like to know, what do you mean by someone was denied due to error of signature and money sent to fiancee? Can you please be a lil more specific

Hello again! We have received to emails to pick up his port (we are still in AP) but when we go to pick it up it is still not there...do they have a history of losing ports??

Does your status on the portal says issued now?
If so then you are picking up port with visa in it.

My status is showing Refused

So sorry about that. So after the CO asked those two questions, he/she denied you or the interview continued but the CO still had doubt?

My Visa was refused but anyway I Dey come back to share testimony soon. Thank you guyz for your and encouragement. I wish everyone waiting good luck. Thumbs up guyz

So sorry about that, just get married and file cr1 asap. Delay isnt denial.. Your testimony is yours and you will come out stronger in Jesus name��.

Can you share with us what you think caused that, were you not answering her correctly or you didn’t have some certain proof she asked for?

Please don’t risk rescheduling, I believe on the portal when you picked a date there was a note that also advised against rescheduling because the only date that the embassy will document will be the first K1 interview date you picked, this is also the reason why some people that rescheduled earlier don’t find their names on the list at the embassy on the new day they picked

Yea this is so true. A lot of people who get turned back on the day of interview because they cant find their name on the list even though their appointment is valid. They mostly record your initial date on file so I advice you don’t reschedule

Since may 2020 thanks to covid19, meanwhile I have tried to book appointment but site is usually unresponsive? Is there a specific time of the day it works?

What!!! You mean your petition as been sitting at the u.s embassy lagos for 2 years? Thats a long time. Even some of the people that got to embassy level 2 months ago have already had their interview and got their visa.

Have you been trying to book the appointment for the 2 years or u jusy tried to after opening with cgi recently?
You need to keep checking constantly everyday. They release date at their discretion and its not announced so you have to be on top of it. Goodluck

Hello Family,

Please I would like to ask anyone here that the USCIS has approved their fiance visa application how long (months) it took the USCIS to approved before sending to the embassy. When did you submit your application and when was it approved by USCIS? Reason why i am asking is for myself and fiance to be able to plan ahead. We applied in November 2021 and we are expecting a . I will appreciate if i can get responses. It shall end in praise for everyone of us in Jesus name.

You and your fiancé(e) should be ready for a long ride. Right now USCIS takes approximately 10 months to approve your petition (noa2) then in a few weeks it is sent to the NVC but currently the lagos embassy is not requesting for petition from nvc so there is a whole year backlog as the last petitions they requested were those sent December 2021.

So after 10 months for approval, another one year for the embassy to request your case then once its ready you can book an appointment. The process takes roughly 2 years now in total.
Wish you well on your process!

How do you know your NOA1 date, is it the notice date or receive date?

Notice date is NOA1 i.e notice of action one.
But i think the priority date is based on your receive date.
Some people get noa1 a month to two after mailing package off but still get approval within the recieve date priority.

Hello lovelies, pls as a Nigerian, married to a Cameroonian man who is an American green card holder, but i base in Nigeria. Where I'm i likely to be interviewed for my US visa, Nigeria or Cameron?
Nigeria of course. He is a green card holder(permanent resident of the uniter states) and thats where he’s filing for you to come so you have no business with cameroon.

mine is 12 years older... I’m 28 and she is 40... I hope this won’t be a red flag..
Age difference is always normal to occur.. either with the male or female partner. Rarely would u see partners with same age. So age difference is never new. It is only considered significant if its a 20 years gap and above but 2,5,10,12 years are common differences the uscis or c.o’s see everyday.
So, as long as you have a bonafide and genuine relationship with your partner and you are able to prove it with the required documents and to the Consular officer, then you have no problem.

yes please, this means your case is on its way to US embassy in Lagos, you can track your case on https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/ with your case number, you can also pay your visa fee of $265 after which you create an and book your interview date on https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ kindly note that you may likely get a date for next year but ensure you select the next available date you see on the portal, all the best to you

Correct but a lot of cases are still hanging at NVC now and they ship cases to the embassy twice a month, but they are prioritizing in the order that they received the applications from uscis so they are currently on September 2020 i.e, as of now they are shipping cases they received September 2020.

I just pray all the backlogs are reduced soon��. They are trying.
