How long does it take to get a second interview date?

[naijaboy 16]

My fiance went on her first interview in Lagos on the 20th.. She was told to bring more proof and reschedule via email.. The email was sent on the 20th with no response to date.. How long does it usually take to get a second interview date via email or is there a faster way to get a second date???

Food for thought...my lawyer told me it will be in our best interest if I show up for the interview because my fiance is from Nigeria. I don't know if they will let you into the interview there, ours will be in Senegal. Good luck to u both

I have been emailing for ours for over 2 weeks now with no response. Someone said they are terribly busy right now processing DV app, which have to be completed by the end of this month. I will let you know when we get ours, will you please do the same?

To Feli114, I went for our interview & I swear it helped, some others swear it doesn't. In Lagos you can't go in, you have to wait outside.

The CO was impressed with the number of times I had been there. I sent in my passport & when he saw it he asked am I here now in Lagos. Because it is Lagos & because we have red flags, we thought it would be best for me to be there to show my support. Someone who was denied on here, was told by Mark Ellis that it makes a difference in some cases. While it may be ok to just visit once in some countries, in our case that is probably not enough. However, another member who was recently denied was there as well & it made no difference in her case. I would say if you can go, then definitely do so.

Also, I have been emailing every 7 days. I also called NVC & DOS. Neither could give me any further information. However, I am just really thankful to be given an opportunity to get a second chance as so many do not.

Great points jenkatx. Although nothing is etched in stone when it comes to Nigeria, being there is a plus. It definitely doesn't hurt. If one can afford the trip and can take the time off, I say go for it!

I was also in Lagos on August 18th for my husband's interview and was outside as well.It made no difference at all,my husband even asked the interviewer if they would like to speak with me and he said it wasn't necessary.However,I do think it makes a difference somehwhat for them to know that you(the US citizen) has made the attempts to come to Naija. I have been to Lagos 4 times in the last 2 and a half years so they know that MY feelings are real.Its all about the Nigerian spouse proving THEIR feelings are legit.My husband was also given the standard letter,that stated the application was being returned to the states with a recommendation that it be revoked.We have not received any emails regarding this yet but I have,as well as my Congressman's office have been in contact with the Consulate and we have been approved to have his intervii=ew rescheduled.

Hopefully,this will be our last step!
