Good day Visa journey...just wanted to come share some updates with you all.

So if you remember my fiancée and i were going thru the K1 visa process, the last i posted here we were waiting for an appointment date. Well the appointment date was set 3 weeks after they got the medical information at the embassy, i called the embassy to find out the appointment date and they did not have it so i called the DOS and they had it, i called London embassy back the following week and they still did not have the date in their system, so that means DOS gets the date before the London embassy...save some money and call DOS for inquiries on your appointment date.

My fiancée went to her interview, all was smooth, she was sooooo nervous, when the time came to talk to the main interviewer he was not nice, asked her why she was having the interview at the London embassy and not in Nigeria, and she explained that it was because she had a student visa when we started the process and also presented the print out of the email conversation i had with the embassy saying it was ok to do the interview at the London embassy. He then asked her if she had ever been denied and she said yes, she has been there twice to request a visa to come visit me and she was denied, he then said ok he will approve her visa. :) she said at that point she exhaled loudly and he looked up and smiled and was nice to her from then on. I was excited to hear the news :) did not sleep the night before.

She got her ticket, and has now joined me finally...i will now be saving on plane tickets to London, Lagos and phone bills :)

So if you are going thru this process, pray hard, and follow the rules, it will all pay off :) just be honest and it will be yours soon.

A big thank you to everyone who helped us thru this process, Nich-Nick and others, thank you sooooo very much.

Now it's time for AOS, marriage licence and so on. :)

Good to hear from you Yoms. So no AP? We were wondering how it would go in London for a Nigerian. Did she get her visa right away? I'm glad you worked it out and didn't try to transfer from London to Lagos. You might have still been waiting.

Thank you All!!!

@ Nich-Nick...i was soooo worried about the AP but she was not put in AP and there was no delay in her visa issuance, she went for her interview on a Thursday and got her passport back with the visa in hand on Tuesday morning around 10 am. I am glad the interviewer did not transfer the case to Lagos, i think the fact that she had the email transcripts between the embassy and i helped because that was the only question he really asked, besides where did you meet and so on.
