Filing a petition again after a divorce

[PurpleSky 19]

not true. i was present at the interview as well.

Ooh yay! Maybe things have changed. The reply from the email I sent to the consulate said I could enter the embassy with my fiancé but he would be going through the interview itself by himself. I'll check it out again cuz I'd decided not to spend the money going over there if all I could do was sit in the "waiting room" while he's interviewing. If I can go in the interview itself with him then I'll try to make the trip again.

agreed. moving to senegal for several months so that you can go to the consulate in dakar is not a good idea. i say stay where you are, and as long as you have all of your evidence, you guys will be fine.

Ok, but I think that was awesome that they let you be in the interview. I just feel if I was there I'd be able to put any doubts they have to rest, especially if they question the last relationship. But even going to Senegal, I dont know if they'd allow us to petition and interview there if he is Nigerian. How is Senegal? I've been to Nigeria and Ghana. I prefer Ghana over Nigeria. Stable light, no police harassment, etc

So if your husby is Nigerian....how are you guys petitioning in Senegal? THat is one of the things Im trying to look into, cuz if I go back ther to live with him for long..Id rather be somewhere a little better than NIgeria. Is your husband a resident of Senegal because of work or school?

Even though my fiance is Nigerian he's been living in The Gambia for the past 4 years. The Embassy in The Gambia doesn't usually process family visas so he has to go to Dakar to get processed.

Oh, I see. Kind of like my fiance...he's Nigerian but has been in Ghana for many years. But the last thing Id want to do is petition thru Ghana embassy because I hear they are slowwwwwwwwwww

senegal is pretty awesome, actually. we really enjoyed dakar. it's a pretty expensive place, though.

i've never been to ghana, but maybe one day. i have an aunt that lives there and has extended the invite several times...

i wish i could advise you on lagos vs. accra, but i've heard horrible things about both places. if i were you, i'd go through ghana because that's where he's been living, right? or rather, use the address you put on the application so it's consistent.

yup, we were allowed to stay together during the interview. they even asked me a couple of questions.

it's a HUGE expensive flying back and forth, but if you can afford it, i say go and be there. i think it helps your case, plus he'll need the moral support. it's not easy doing all the running around you have to do to prepare for an interview that will determine your entire future. having an extra pair of eyes and hands makes things a bit better.

then, you can celebrate the good news right away.

Hello Ibogal!

Your situation can be sticky. Lagos has been known to place petitioners on AR in order to conduct a full scale investigation, including going to the husbands home to speak with neighbors just for validation! Don't be surprised if they take the attitude of what make this guy different from the last. As much as possible be sure your husband is well prepared for his interview, and that you guys really take the time to know each other. In other words, prepare for scrutiny. Good luck!
