Visa Approved. I want to say thank you to all you VJ members for posting helpful quotes, support and answering questions, even when you were inpatient and frustrated about the visa wait times. It

Interview concluded.

Visa Approved.

Lagos Nigeria.

I was scheduled for 6:30am, and I was pretty much done at 9am. Interview lasted about 2 mins.

 

Questions asked were:

Whos filing for you?

Ans: My Dad.

Tell me about your dad, like what does he do?

How long has he been in the US?

How often do you talk to him?

What medium do you guys use to communicate?

When last was he in Nigeria?

 

Visa was granted afterwards. No document was checked.

Finally, my 7 year wait is over. Wow

Thank God.

Congratulations, I know how it feels. Please do let us know how long it takes to receive your passport from the embassy.

Thanks. You know its the christmas week coming ahead, so I'm not expecting it until after the holidays. I'll still let you know how many working days it took all the same. Cheers and Good luck.

They've generally needed these for the green card/visa I wonder if they use the biometrics photo now.

How does it take to receive your passport from the embassy in Lagos ? Considering everything went well.

The last person who answered this question in the past said 2 working days. I guess we normally get told 10 working days in order to include any unforseen problems. So I am hoping for 2-3 working days as usual.

Awww, really good to see another F1. We are few on here on VJ. Dont be too nervous, mine went smoother and quicker than I imagined. Just have your medical and police reports on point, and be ready to speak about your petitioning parent. Best of luck. Cheers!

Thanks, I'd try to remain calm. There is actually a thread for all F1 case complete waiting for interview but it is not as active as this thread. Hope you didn't have to print communication between yourself and your Dad (like whatsapp chat/call records).

Lol, I did all that oh. I spent a lot of money printing loads of documents, yet non of them was requested. Really funny. With that been said, do go prepared cause you'll never know what will be asked of you. If you have kids, remember to go with their vaccination records and birth certificates. A guy was refused and told to come back cause of that.

So it sounds like my theory is right, and that totally makes sense, I'm sure its just that they were so disorganized in the past they couldn't even use the photo they already had.
