Awww Omoba, I hate to see you all get stuck in security checks! Are you calling the DOS to check on the status? I hope you find a quick end soon! Shouldn't be too long since you are already more than a month into it!

It is not a security or name check. We don't know what it is except " investigation of K1 visa eligiblity". The DOS people are crazy and one asked me do I still want to pursue this?

Duh......that is why I called.

Another one said it was returned to the embassy Jan.3 ( not so ), another one said it never has left the embassy in the first place. The embassy did not request any additional items from my fiance, they have everything. So what could be going on that we are being investigated by the fraud unit ........we are a genuine couple and have all evidence to proof that.

I asked why we are singled out if it is not a security/name check and was told they are not allowed to disclose the reason. The uncertainty is too much to handle sometimes and today I am having a very hard time to deal with it. Add to that power failures at the internet cafe and crappy phone connections .......barely any communication for months on end.

Just nuts !!!

* Rant*Vent* runs off crying..........

Do not lose hope! Do not let the government officials intimidate you. Another VJ member was actually told by USCIS that if she left the interview by the backdoor, they would take care of her husband! You will never get a "reason" for anything and tey will work only as fast as government works. In the end it will be resolved and all of this agony will melt away. I promise.

Going through the "fraud" unit sounds so scary, but its just the government doing their job (very poorly and unfarily it seems) and you will just jumps the hoops, overcome the obstacles and it will be over eventually. LDR are hard enough without all this so keep in mind that you are just in the middle of the tunnel and while you can;t see the light at the end..it is there!

Hey girl,

The Embassy in Lagos claims that it will take at least 6 months for AP. However, I do believe that they do not do too much of anything except check with the local registars. How long does that take? I have heard that this embassy will keep you waiting bcoz they want to see how much YOU as the US Citizen will push. As you may know that Nigeria is the place where you can get a fake document to look real. SO all the proofs you can provide in paper print are really not relevant to your case. If you can afford it, just make several long trips back and forth & try to visit the Embassy.

Don't worry it is going to be ok is an understatement to tell someone coz I understand. But there is hope on the horizion....a bill has been proposed in Congress to put a time limit on the AP. The waiting is the part that puts your heart thru hell.

Maybe we all on here can write letters to our Congressmen/women in support of the bill.

And NO ONE still CONTINUES TO LISTEN TO ME!
