We just got a confirmation that our case has been completed and will be sent to the Nigerian embassy for interview appointment, how long will it take for us to get an interview date?.Anyone experienced it before?

Hi Abimbola, Congrats! Since you don't have your Timeline complete, it is not easy for us to answer you quickly.

 

I saw from other posts you replied that you are a F3 beneficiary with a Priority Date from October 5th, 2005. The interviews depend on the Visa Bulletin, which for February is at Nov 15, 2005. If your case was completed, you should be contacted soon, if not, call your embassy to be sure they schedule it.

Thanks for your reply.

 

I did a little research around the forum, and usually after the case was completed, the users reported having an interview by the Nigerian embassy only few days later, but also some reported that it took like 2 weeks. The date was set for a date around 3 weeks after they were contacted. Good luck! And keep us updated!

This thread is 5 years old - pre-Covid backlog times. Best to only stick to recent threads as things may have changed considerably since then.
