JamaicanJNR- You mentioned checking on a previous case at USCIS? I have never filed any type of petition before this one. Are you referring to when my case was at USCIS?

Reeses16- I agree. Dont list anyone's name.. ever. I wasnt thinking anything at the time about it. I guess cause my mind never went there thinking anything is fraudulent. I spoke to a friend last night who reminded of how they could be thinking and it made alot of sense. Seeing how when one gets a green card they can petition for family. My former friend and her husband applied for a visitors visa a long time ago- it was denied of course. Then she went there and married the guy. They then applied for a spousal visa- denied. I dont even know which type they applied for such as K3 or CR1. That is how little we knew about their case. So my friend suggested they may be wanting to verify some info regarding my fiance's relationship with the guy. Making sure he isnt family or whatever. The officer did ask how did he know her husband and he was honest and told him that he is just a family friend. Nothing more. We dont even associate with them anymore. I emailed the embassy and let them know this. Also, the officer asked about me just coming once to Nigeria. My fiance corrected him and said that I have been twice. I went back in March of 2009, after we filed. He said the officer then seemed to get "soft" and asked him could his family verify this. My fiance said of course. We were with his family and they love me very much. The officer wrote down the dates the I came the second time but didnt ask to see any proof of it, like pics, ticket stubs, copies of my passport stamps. He had my fiance fill out a paper with familys and friends names, addresses, and phone numbers on it.

I understand things a little better now, but it still throws me for a loop having to go through all this drama all probably because of someone else. Geez...

Im feeling okay today thanks to everyones responses... Thanks everyone...

They could be getting ready to make some home visits....just make everyone he listed know this could be a possibility.

Thank you for posting your story here....my fiance and I are awaiting our interview date and I pray all will go well. Chin up! Like all the support I see for you here, I'm glad the interview wasn't an outright denial. Good luck!

You are looking at anywhere from 4-8 months. My husband and I were in AP.

OMG, really? You can get to the finish line and get an extra 4-8 months tacked incidentally? That seems grim Surely there's some recourse. Thanks for the tips MrsJibowu.

As it appears AP are becoming more common at Lagos. It seems to be the trend.
