Thanks for the invite to come reply.....

Well my name is Michelle and my husband's name is Ademola. We have been together since October of 2007 (married since March 2007). Ademola lives in Lagos, Nigeria. I have been there 3 times now to visit him (each time about 18 days). I have applied for a K3 visa (they received my I130 on August 4) and I just received my receipt for the I129f yesterday in the mail........yippee!! I am new to this site and have to admit its all a bit overwhelming. I'm not really sure how to do much, but i'm learning. Anyway, if you want to learn more about me and my story or just want to chat send me a message...........

Welcome!! Congratulations on the progress of your visa. I pray the process is smooth and fast for you. My Husband is also from Lagos and I have traveled there several times as well. Please feel free to ask questions!! We will help you all that we can. Zee has a great thread where she tracks everyone in Sub Saharans visa progress, it can be a useful tool.

Hey Michelle, Welcome and Congratulations!

When my husband and I applied ( which seems like many moons ago) we filed the CR-1, and the K-3 simultaneously. We opted for the CR-1 in the end because it had more advantages. He didn't have to adjust his status once he was here, he only needed to lift his conditions.(after 2 years) He also received his Resident card and his SSN immediately.

It's almost time for him to file for Citizenship, which is awesome! I will feel better about extended stays in Nigeria once that is over. Just a few months away.... :dance:

Once again welcome!

I really am just learning trying to take this one step at a time. How do you apply for the CR-1?? And what is the cost?? Cuz I know with the USCIS there HAS to be a cost involved. LOL. I wanted to wait and interview on the I130 (in nigeria), but have heard the interviews are being scheduled way into next year and this being apart is really killing me. I miss him soooo much and its getting harder and harder. I have a friend who did the CR-1, but in her case I think it was because the petition (I129f) had been put into administrative processing. There is just so much confusing/conflicting information and I really just want to make sure I do what is right for Ademola & I and I don't want any mistakes. Any information you all can give me would be greatly appreciated!! Could you also share a little info about how it is once they are here?? Thanks
