when is the earliest I can schedule the consulate interview?

[Iyawo Ayodele 4]

My Fiance and I (K1Visa) are waiting on the NVC to mail out our file to Lagos, we are at the NVC status of: "Admin processsing complete". but they havent mailed it just yet, (hopefully today please GOD!)

my question is this:

when is the absolute earliest I can pay for and schedule his interview, since your K1 time line for Lagos is 1-3 months for the interview! OR will the NVC or consulate automatically schedule and let us know the date??

you can go ahead and pay it now, we paid ours I think less than a week after approval, even before it was mailed out to Lagos. Your the one to schedule it so the earlier the better so you get the interview date sooner.

should i pay for all three? (My Love, and his two boys) also included in the K1?

The file was mailed 12 Dec, the trends seem to point to them receiving it in a couple days from today, then another 3-5 days for Ayo to receive packet 3, and another 7 days to get packet 4, so i should schedule the nearest interview date. God, I need a loan lol tickets for 4. i am praying to be able to be there for their interviews.

Oh be prepared to submit to a DNA test after interview. It will take about 3 months to get results. and also having the mothers letter of consent at interview will help also. If he comes really prepared with pictures and evidence he maybe able to not have to do the DNA test., Very rare but it does happen from time to time at Lagos.

Just wanted to prepare you since you have a timeline.

oh bleep! thank you. i will make sure there is very very much evidence of his relationship with the boys and letter of consent from their Mother. and their birth certificates naming him as father.

You will need to provide pictures of the father and the children at different and times from birth to present. Otherwise Lagos tends to assume the children are near relatives looking for a better life in the US and you will be asked for DNA to prove otherwise. They may ask for DNA anyway Lagos being what it is. Don't forget you need 3 medicals and such.
