There is nothing quick about this and the fact that your country listing is Nigeria. You will have a rough ride on this visa journey, use the website and the guides a lot and you will find a regional section you can get lots of support in.

Your I-129f was approved in 5 days from your NOA1 date.

Welcome!

First of - read the guides listed here. You will find so much useeful information there. Then, start reading the posts on VJ, especially the ones related to Nigeria to give you a chance to see what others going through Nigeria have experienced.

I wish you a sucessful journey, but sadly I will tell you that it will not most likely be a quick one, especially with the Embassy your fiance will be interviewed at.

The best hint I can give: Start gathering proof of your relationship right now. You'll need it.

Welcome to VJ, nothing fast in this game. About 7 months from start to Visa for a K1. Guides are excellent and up to date, a few opinions mostly justified especially for those who want to short cut the system. Good Luck.,

In Arizona its hot hot hot.

Welcome! I am a fairly new member as well and I can tell you NOW is the time for you to learn how to move around the system here and familiarize yourself with the guides and everything else. I have also spent MUCH TIME going over past posts through the Nigeria portal to see what other/past visa applicants have struggled with going through this embassy so I can be fully prepared for what I KNOW they need and what I think they MAY need... lol

You will have many questions along the way, cos I do all the time myself. I can tell you the "Senior Members" here are very helpful, alot even though they have been approved or even have their significant other arrive safe & sound already, they are still here helping and guiding the rest of us. KNOW that the ONLY stupid question is the one NOT asked, so feel free to ask if you are lost, confused or even just wondering.

Make sure you are connecting with others from Naija cos these are the ones that you will be leaning on mostly for support and advice. You should also be following these VJ members timelines so you can get notifications when they are updated such as Consulate reviews.

Like me, you are going through Nigeria so the BEST advice I can give is stay prayed up & buckle your seat belt... It's gonna be a bumpy ride ... Welcome Aboard! :)
