A passport is a requirement for a K1 interview. Approved visas are placed inside the passport.

Either reschedule the interview or pay an expedite fee for the passport.

Waiver approved after 10 months. Did NOT use a lawyer

Fiance better hurry! You're at the VSC and things tend to move quickly there. After the beneficiary receives the package from the Consulate, one of the required items you have to include are copies of the first 2-4 pages of the passport. So, the passport will be available by the time the Interview occurs!

YEAH...I know...and I was so happy that I received the NOA2 today in my email...and then sweetheart reminds me that he sent in for UK passport...because he has been living in UK using his Nigerian Passport...Anyway...His Nigerian Passport got sent in with his UK passport application...since May and they haven't given it back to him yet...

I mean I hate the fact that when you go for one passport...they take the other...what if an emergency comes up or a death in the family...you can't travel anywhere because you don't have your passport...That's just not fair....Further more to have his passport for so long...it's crazy....

And it didn't expect to get the approval of NOA2 this fast, so it's only a matter of time between NVC & the Consulate Office for interview time, which depending on stuff, might end up being in March...who knows...

But yes I agree the UK passport has to be expediated...or they have to return his Nigerian Passport soon...

Oh I wonder if he can just replace his Nigerian passport at the Nigerian Embassy in UK...

That is also another road to consider...

Well I am going to UK next week so I will look into all these things...

Thanks you all are the greatest....

From Nkybaby= If your name is Nkiruka as mine than in Nigeria your friends may nickname you Nkybaby or Nkii for short....

HELLO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!! MARK 11:24

I WENT TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY & I PUT GAVE MY REQUEST FOR PRAYER TO THE PASTOR ON THIS MATTER...

TAKE CARE !!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe this...I just happened to called VSC on Monday, just to be nosy/poking around...since I never actually received a touch!!!!!!!! And look at what I got today....

I agree that it'd be better if it arrives in the next little while, but things aren't going to move at a lightning pace once you reach London - still a bit of waiting to do. So I'd say you have some time to spare now before you really sweat it.

Nkybaby,

Is your fiance a UK citizen? Why was he applying for a UK passport? I don't know all the details of his situation, but if he is Nigerian and merely residing in the UK, then he should be in possession of his Nigerian passport. You are correct, the Nigerian Embassy should be able to assist him. I would contact them ASAP if in fact he is still a Nigerian citizen...

Also... Please fill in your timeline!!

Yes, he was trying to get his UK citizenship and the took his Nigerian passport and I told him that it shouldn't take that long and I don't know what his lawyer is doing...See here in the US they just make you make a photo copy of your passport when they take it and you are applying for a passport/citizenship from another country...

But he handed over the passport to them with his paper work and now he is still waiting for it back...This is just totally crazy, but where there is a will there is a way...

However, you know years ago when filing for K1 Visa they use to take the US Citizen passport and keep it until the application was completed...
