I don't understand why it takes 3-4months for nigeran consulate to schedule visa interview after NVC sends them your approved petition. One would think that the long wait was over after waiting 7months. But no,you have to endure another long wait. This is so frustrating

Because you have it all wrong. In Lagos now you schedule your own for K1. There are steps to take like your packet 3.

Have you emailed the Embassy yet? Do you have your case# from NVC? You could have been assigned months ago. I would get on that now.

Oh wow!!! Is this valid? lol I mean im sure it is but im so glad i caught this info!!! I have been under the impression that you wait for your interview date in lagos!! Im happy this has changed! when did this change? I have read recent reviews that they waited for the embassy to contact them with a date.. yet other countries schedule their own which makes more sense!! So as soon as we have a case # from NVC we can get an interview date? and is it by email or can you call to schedule? Happy theres experienced peeps on this site!!!

Thank you so much. Its a relief to hear that one can now schedule one's k-1 interview in Lagos via email. To answer your question,no I haven't received my case number from NVC yet. I received an email from USCIS telling me my case has been approved but am stil waiting on the hardcopy of my NO2. I read people's timeline in Lagos and saw most of them wait for 3months after NO2 for their visa interview and I panicked. I will call NVC to ask for my LGS no. Please can you tell me about the packet 3 and 4? What do they contain and do I have to wait for lagos consulate to send them to me b4 my interview.?

Yes, my friend i am at this stage now biggrin.png . Once you email Lagos they should send you details about paying your visa fee to GT Bank. you will print that email sent and take it the bank along with you LGS number. The receipt that your fiance gets from paying will be used to schedule your appointment online. In the email that Lagos will send you will be packet 3 documents.If you want you can get those forms ahead of time at http://travel.state.gov/visa/forms/forms_1342.html . Just read our embassy info guide and it will tell you what forms are needed.God bless and Good luck.
