oh my God. So someone or some people have gone through this same thing and pulled through. My k1-visa was approved on august 19th 2010 and i was asked to pick up the visa on 26th a week after but believe you me ,it was not ready on that 26th and even on Friday 27th. I was told to call the collection center today instead of coming to Lagos and not getting the passport. I called today and my name was not in the list of passports that was sent to the collection center. I began to wonder if anything has gone wrong any where until i came here and found out that some people have encountered the same delay. oh what a relieve to know that it will finally be released. Thank you for keeping this site updated. thank you Nwanyioma, i have been inspired by your journey so far on this. love you all:innocent:

We had the same issue on the K1, as long as there is no Administrative review going on, you will get it.

Ours took almost 1 month.

Go to the consulate if you do not get it on the 17th, I believe inquires are now at 10 or 11am.

Take your visa issuance letter with you when you go.

Typically, if there are any issues, if they have your phone on record they will attempt to call you - No worries, sometimes it just is - Oh also send them an inquiry email after the 17th
