K-1 VISA process for Nigeria

[AC1981 0]

Good day all,

I am new to this site and my questions is mainly for people who recent went through the K-1 Visa process in Nigeria or anybody that know about the current procedure for getting K-1 Visa in Nigeria. Today, I got the hard copy of my NOA2 approval for the I129F petition for Fiancee. My problem is that I am not sure what is next. I am trying to read more information about it (it is confusing) when I discover this site. Please can anybody who recently gone through the process or currently going through process give me a nice summary of the process or direct me to a good website or place to find the information. What do I (or my fiancee) do next?

Thank you and God bless

What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2):

1. A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one). 2. Send all originals of the documentary proof that you submitted for the I-129F to your fiance(e) for their interview at the embassy. 3. Send an original letter affirming your desire to marry your fiance(e) and your continued support of the K-1 Visa. Sign and date the form. This will be similar to the letter you provided with the I-129F, but dated much closer to the interview (it will have most likely been several months since you submitted your I-129F). 4. I-134 Affidavit of Support form. Ensure it is signed, with all required supporting evidence. Begin collecting the required information ahead of time, as it can often take several weeks to collect it all. 5. You will likely need at a minimum (for the above form) two to three of your most recent pay stubs and a signed letter from your employer listing you job title, start date, your salary, and the status (full-time) of your position. Begin collecting these ASAP after your NOA2 arrives. You will also probably want to include other evidence such as your banking information and other assets as required by the I-134. Specifically you will need at least 2 of the 4 options mentioned in Section II-Supporting Evidence of the I-134. See this FAQ for more tips and ueful information on the Affidavit of Support Form. 6. A copy of the NOA2 that you received in the mail. 7. Proof of your ongoing relationship. This needs to be taken to the interview! Include photos, travel documents, emails, etc from between the time you filed and present (NOA1 date-now).

Examples: Copies of land line and cell phone bills, appropriate emails and letters you have sent including the stamps on envelopes (to document the date they were sent), and other written documentary proof. Provide a reasonable amount; two to four of each type. Pick a range of dates up to and including the present. You can also include a copy of engagement ring receipt (this is something that is a big optional - do not worry if you do not have a ring yet!)

For Nigeria or anyone else you call NVC until you get your case#. Don't discouraged when you call they will say it takes 8 weeks.

Some have been getting it about week 3 to about 6 so just call every few days. calling will cut down your wait time and you won't be waiting fro an email of case#.

Now for you once you get case# you will email the consulate Lagosiv@state.gov on the Subject line will be:

SUBJECT:CASE# LGSXXXXXXXXXXX-Beneficiary's full name-Need K1 instructions

They will send you instructions on what to do next which will be go pay your Visa fee at bank, get medical and get your forms and documents together. You can be working on that now while you wait for case#.

Just go embassy website and download all the forms they mention. Unless you already have all that done.

Once you pay I believe the portal on site opens up and yopu can scheduke your interview. but nothing can be done until you get that case#.

Hope that helps.

Some embassies mail out what is called Packet 3, Lagos, does not, and they no longer allow you to pick up a copy there, you need to print it out. I found it helpful to do that while I waited for our case number, so I did not need to worry about it later on!

You can get the forms online at http://nigeria.usembassy.gov/immigrant_visa_forms.html

Email LagosIV@state.gov for your interview date.

here are the forms:

DS-156 (Available Online)
DS-156K
OF-167
Police Report request letter (Can be Downloaded Online)
I-693
