[soulstriker 274]

no you said your fiance said u met by a craiglist ad and then talked on facebook , was this craiglist thing mentioned in the petition, thats probably why they asked about it , if you had included that in the petition maybe this wouldnt had occur , especially meeting online

No, he said he saw my ad in craigs but contacted me in Facebook. How could I know who and how many people did see my ad? He approach to me in Facebook asking about web design, I wrote in my application what it is, all real I know, he said what it was him, they compare if I really had my ads in craigs as he mentioned it

he never said we met in craigs, it's crazy, there no meeting in computer services, just business, I do have my craigs for years and sent them the list of my ads which it came well. He said we met in Facebook but he saw my services ad in craigs before meeting me, easier to find me in Facebook and I have my web design page in Facebook too, so he could see my portfolio. We both said and know we met in Facebook but my web designs and his website was to start talking IN FACEBOOK

and even my website has the Facebook icon to contact and chat with me, so he saw my ad, my website and went to chat in Facebook, it's how it started

[soulstriker 274]

in the how u met part of the petition was it mentioned that he saw your ad first then talked to u on facebook?

[MeAlone 161]

then we became friends and he got my webdesign for free, lol!

This is his website made by me

It should have been mentioned on the petition,unlike mine my fiance heared my song on a blog and she contacted me on facebook we mentioned everything in the petition.its gonna be fine in as much as u've provided what they requested for

[MeAlone 161]

craigs was never mentioned but because it was my writing in my application (not my fiance) how did we met and I know we met in Facebook, I even didn't know he saw me in craigs first as he came to ask me in Facebook, in the interview they probably were asking more how did he decide to talk to me in FB, I didn't know this part about craigs, he just showed up asking question in FB and I have in FB my web design page, so I assumed he saw that, but the CO is smarter than I am, lol! He knows it's not easy to realize in FB who is who and if web design is me.

Not bad, we women should have a consular officer friend for to investigate our followers, lol!

Yes, you are right, it should and if I would know, my fiance is not very communicative man and the application was done for me, I wrote what I know and what I see, he knows I advertise in craigs but I didn't know he saw me there before we met. I wish I knew, it would go all my info there from the beginning

Tasha

[MeAlone 161]

and I hope this topic is not to criticize me, I did what I thought the best and to the best of my knowledge which is accepted by law as a true statement. He told more from his side and it's OK too.

My topic, and thank you for all your postings, all you are helping, this topic is somehow to share my worries but mostly it's for others who come after us, for to be more communicative and to try to do it all at once or, even if we try, the consular officer always can find 1 word and ask for more, be prepared and tell all truth, then it will be no problem to provide an additional information.

And Good Luck to all!

He has to communicate to avoid this sort of delays in the future,my fiance made sure we wrote how we met together in details concerdering the time difference i was up until 5am nigerian time before going to bed,she makes sure i do research about interview questions and how to answer them its a simple yes or no dont go into details

[soulstriker 274]

well now it makes sense i can see why a CO would be scratching their head about that , its odd you and your fiance didnt go over this lack or preparation and communication results to this ,

Deeplove is right the how u met 34a is great opportunity to talk about your story/relationship origin etc , my fiance also did a how we met document with our petition which gives her point of view and side of our tale

welp lessons learned for future filers , should be fine hopefully

Yes, I totally agree but not everybody is the same, also he is not very much in writing and I was very sick, 3 days declared dying, then 6 months on a heavy medication and even with all this, we did well, small detail came out, it's OK. All important documents are very well, thanks God

Tasha

Now, thanks to my close to death experience, my fiance knows all about the American law and what to do in case.

So we are communicating and very close, one small thing escaped from our attention, please, don't judge me hard

I have to agree with the comments above, it is vital to explain how you met, not just FB but what led up to it.
We met on FB too but we both had a mutual group friend who made short youtube comedy and we saw each others

comments and started talking and then friended each other on our FB page.

This group admin even wrote an affidavit of how he followed our relationship deepen.
I wrote a relationship timeline and included every detail in it and we prepared for the interview questions together.

Not judging you at all Tasha, just trying to make you see why they requested the info which was puzzling to you.

It is very common for Lagos to search deep into the meeting circumstances and others who read this will benefit.

Glad you are well now and wishing you a speedy approval.

Don't freak out if ceac says AP, it bounces back and forth from AP to ISSUED several times once they are close to issue

the visa, all within days.

Thank you so much for your explanation and thank you to all participants. I did write alone how we met and very short, in Facebook, chatting about web design, that's it. we did print our first chats and all before I traveled the 1st time but my application I was still sick, not easy time.

Our case doesn't say AP, not in letter, not in ceac, ceac shows this now and I think it's because they are working on our file, maybe even they alredy did but the visa issued will show only after they stamp it in the passport and put for delivery. I hope it will be very soon

Tasha

and yes, I know how important is for all others to learn from our mistakes or our experience, it's not an easy process and specially it's not an easy embassy

this is the ceac today, before it was our Nov. date interview
