Just got off the phone with the NVC...they told me that my husband's interview was scheduled for 1/26/11!!!! I'm bursting with joy!!!! After all the heartache we've been through! I will fly down to be with him that week even if I can't be with him at the actual interview.

Can anyone suggest any websites that offer discounted flights? I would really appreciate!

congrats debby: at least now you can start planning other things. Mind you the medicals at Kamoross hospital muri okunola street on the island is now 21,000 naira. He needs to pay 12,000naira on the first day he attends the clinic at a designated bank and the 9,000naira balance is payable after two days when he goes to pick up his results. He should be ready for alot of needle poking. lol. as his blood would be taking for the syphilis and HIV tests then various immunisation injections. He should be prepared for a long wait at the hospital and should get there early as the queue there is also alarming. I was there at 7.45am in the morning and already met 2 people in the waiting room and the clinic doesnt open until 8am. I still didnt get out until about 3pm. Best of luck in the interview. God bless you two

Thanks so much, Aya, Nwanyioma and Missin Miss D....We are elated to have come this far. This is actually our second petition (the first - a K1 visa - was denied for ridiculous reasons back on March 23, 2010) so we know the drill with the medicals and everything else...lol You can be sure that not only did we front-load this petition with loads of supporting documentation, but we're prepared with a trunkful more to bring to the Embassy! Thanks, everyone for your support.

A word to Nwanyioma: I want to thank you for your kind words and support back in March of this year when our K1 was denied. We were devastated and thought all was lost. People like you encouraged us to get right back up, dust ourselves off, get married and prove to the Consulate that we had EVERY intention of getting married!

To all those who are still waiting - your turn will come and then I'll be congratulating you!

Hi Debby, first thing congratulations!!!!! My little word of advice is not to fly out for the interview. I did that and it wasnt worth it because you will not be allowed into the interview. May as well save that money for his ticket to come. Second....be prepared...lots of pics....lots of stories...phone records, phone cards everything you can think of. Good luck!!!!
