Has Lagos changed their process??

[Mohoganyme 4]

Hey guys, so confused right now. From what Ive been reading I was meant to know that lagos embassy gives you the interview date for the k1 visa in an mail so i emailed them and I got the below response:

" The U.S. Consulate General in Lagos is ready to begin final processing of your approved K1 visa petition. Kindly request your fiancé/fiancée (the applicant) to visit any branch of Guaranty Trust Bank PLC in Nigeria to pay the K1 visa processing fee of $240.

With the payment receipt number, the applicant can visit our website at http://www.ustraveldocs.com to schedule a K1 visa interview appointment. The applicant must print the interview appointment confirmation, which should be presented upon arrival at the U.S. Consulate General in Lagos on the appointment/interview date"

From what ive been reading I havent seen anyone having to go online and schedule their k1 interview. Is this a new thing?

ok guys, so apparently this process has been in place for other non-immigrant visas but not in place for the k1 as it was being treated as an immigrant visa. So now the process has been changed for k1. Once you pay you can go online and schedule your interview. Not applicable for the cr-1 though as i believe nvc still sets the appointment date

Hi Anita, from your timeline I cant tell when you recieved the email but this process must have gone into effect after yours because they have already scheduled your appointment. But you can all them just to confirm.
