Cheap and good hotels near the Consulate? |
Hotel Farid. Within walking distance of the embassy. Not bad price-wise for downtown Dakar, but I wouldn't stay there for more than one or two nights if you're on a real budget (it's about $60 for a two person room). |
|
Additional Info? |
The petitioner should make every possible effort to be present at the interview. Our interview went very smoothly, but I believe it was because I was with my fiance. They didnt ask for photos, call logs,chat logs or any other evidence, probably because I was there. |
