Congrats!

Wow it seems like a century ago since l last stopped by this subforum.

I see not much has changed in terms of experiences at Lagos.

I think the key remains being prepared...strike that...being very very prepared!

For all those who go though this hurdle, congrats! Soak it up, take a well-deserved uscis-nvc-local consulate break and then jump right back on the wagon because it is not over until you hold the U.S passport in hand....but hey if you stick around VJ website, gather info, do your own research the necessary homework) you will surely prevail.

These steps I-129F >> 1-485 >> I-765 >> I-751 >> N-400 >> U.S passport can be so exhausting sometimes...

The good news is that once your S.O arrives, you have someone to share the burden with.....

Here`s wishing y`all the very best as you secure your future with your loved ones..

Please how can i schedule appointment to speak with supervisor or chief consular handling my case in lagos consulate

I just wanted to let everyone know that my fiance was finally approved at the Lagos Consulate today.

We are happy, but I think relieved and free describes our true feelings at this moment. :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

It was a very stressful and life paralyzing ride but with God's help, love and grace we finally made it through.

Interview 1 January: Blacked-out emails - CO wanted to see originals

Interview 2 February: CO says a joint sponsor is required

Interview 3 Today, March 11: Approved

I purchased a ticket last month to Lagos because the consulate experience was really wearing me down. I will be traveling to Lagos at the end of this month and we have decided to pick up his visa and tell everyone on his end together. Right now we just want to keep this nugget to ourselves.

To all of you preparing to go through the Lagos Consulate.... expect the unexpected, be thoroughly prepared, believe in your love, have faith that love conquers all and most importantly PRAY!! You will need it.

I want to say an extra special thank you to all my VJ friends that offered a supportive ear.

GOD BLESS

Sorry to say this but I think its nearly impossible.

Its hard to get anyone on the phone over there because they give you the run around, multiple hang ups, pick up the call and put the phone down and will forward you to voicemails (if you're lucky).

I even called Abuja and asked to speak to the ambassador and everything..... no deal....sorry.

Looking forward to a Happy New Year!!!

Quick Update:

I traveled to Nigeria on 3/23 to see my fiance. While in Lagos we went to pick up his passport/visa together.

I didn't get much rest because we spent a lot of time meeting different people and socializing.

We had a small introduction/prayer gathering at his parent's house with family and friends the day before I left and now I am eagerly waiting for him to join me here.

I had another amazing time in Nigeria but I couldn't move around as freely as before because of slight unrest in his state, which made me feel restricted and caged. He did protect me like Kevin Costner in the BodyGuard though.. lolol.

Crazy me, I even drove his car for short distances without him in it a few times... No, not in Lagos... I may be crazy but I am not retarded :wacko:

I was sad to leave my fiance but I will admit that I was happy to leave this time. Plus, I really really missed my son.

I slept 2 days straight when I got home.

Looking forward to a Happy New Year!!!
