Hi VJ families, my fiancee already filed petition two months ago before we found this awesome forum.

Well the most important thing is what did you include in your petition package (as in evidence)?

For Nigeria whether a I-130 (spouse petition) or I-129F (fiancee petition) you will hear the words front-load. Meaning putting all your best and most important evidence in your package and not waiting until interview. Because too many times the CO will never ask for it and you are stuck with evidence in hand when they could have seen it ahead of time.

So list what you sent in.

Because too many times the CO will never ask for it and you are stuck with evidence in hand when they could have seen it ahead of time.

So list what you sent in.

If you did not send in a lot of evidence at first, then get ready for the next stage with more evidence and organize yourself make sure you include phone records, emails, chats and etc. dating back to when you started your relationship. make sure you include at least three chats per week from the beginning to date. If you did not address the "red flags" in your relationship when you filed, I would prepare a lengthy letter and send it in with the next package due before your interview date comes up. Print a lot of pictures of you two together and family as well with friends who know about your ongoing relationship. If your fiance has made trips get the boarding passes and copy them as well as a copy of the passport with stamps of entering and exiting Nigeria.

If you list what was sent, we could help you in more details. If you did not include much at first, be ready to send a lot of things for you will need to have all of it sent for the embassy to review before your interview. As Dwheels76 said "The CO might or might not take the time to review what you take in with you on the interview date.

Good luck!

Am afraid we only pulled d app online with 340 nd send to Department of homeland security, Citizenship and immigration services, 101 west congress st parkway chiacago Il 60605.

You have sent your petition to the wrong address. My suggestion is that you read this site very well and then prepare your petition all over again. If you check has not been cashed, I would cancel it and start over again.

Go to the k1 visa guide and read thoroughly. It tells you step by step how to file. You need lots of evidence to go with your petition. In that guide you will see that the petition has to be sent to the Dallas lockbox. From there it will be routed to the service center.

LoveNigarmostyle, I'm not the original poster here, but I'm reading through this thread and I, too, am worried that perhaps I didn't send in enough info with my I-130. (applying for CR-1 visa) I relied too much on the amount of times I came here to visit as the majority of proof. I see you talking about sending in additional info in the next stage. At what point would I be able to send additional info (I am still in early stages since I just filed the petition 2 months ago)...and will the additional information be available for the interviewer to see BEFORE my husband goes for the interview? Where would I be sending the additional info?
