I have been in Nigeria since I filed the K1 nine months ago and I was able to get the police clearance via the help of a courier service and it cost a lot. So I just was to be sure I will not be told to get another one. It took 2 months to get our case shipped to NVC and I am still waiting for case number at what point do we extend the petition to keep it valid and which department do we contact for that? As for the Lagos in my profile I thought they were asking me the city I live in so I guess I will change it to my fiancée's?

While processing through NVC and at the embassy they will automatically extend the petition, you do not have to do anything.

I would only inquire about petition expiration if you are caught up in AP for several months. They are supposed to extend during AP

but sometimes do not if they are inclined to return it. For now do nothing but prepare for the interview.

@Ebunoluwa. Thank you so much for the information. That comes as a huge relief. @Gowon. I am not talking about Nigeria police report I meant South Africa as I lived there before. The one I did was dated 20th November so one month is out of it already though I have not left Nigeria since I started the visa journey and they did not write when its valid for but I just hope I do not need to get another one because the Nigerian one is valid for only 3months and I did it at Iyaganku for 7k not 5k like u adviced me earlier. Any body out there with any experience about a foreign certificate?

Oops sorry about that, I forgot you were also dealing with SA.

Re police report, Ibadan has always been N7k as that is what we paid and others that we have been sent there, it's only Lagos that's reportedly between N3,5 to N5k.

Police reports of country you no longer live in you do not have to keep renewing what you have is fine. It's only your current country that you would have to renew if it expires by interview.

So the SA is fine. Just get a new 9ja one if it expires by interview just to be safe sometimes they want a new fresh one sometimes they could care less.

I am confused in what exactly the question is after reading the other comments.

Were you asking if you have to do something to extend the petition or renew the police report or both ?
