Hello Everyone , i just concluded my interview and I'm pleased to inform you all that I was approved 💃💃. The whole process has been tiring, but I give all glory to God.

So I was at the embassy by 6am and an official was already separating IV applicants from Non IV applicants. We were asked to stand on a line, open the envelope containing the medicals, bring out your confirmation page of DS 260, your appointment letter and insert in your passport. We moved past there to the main hall were we submitted the shot mentioned documents along with a copy of your marriage certificate, police report and birth certificate. We were asked to go back to the line, we were later asked to come take our finger prints  and await interview. Meanwhile don't fret if they don't call Your Number On time, numbers aren't called serially. So the interview went as follows

CO: Hello (Name)

Me: Hi Good morning 

CO: Raise your hand (took an oath to say the truth and nothing but the truth)

CO: can u tell me about your husband, how old is he, what he does. (I answered)

CO: how long have you been married, how long did u date before u married him, why did u marry him (i answered all)

CO: what kind of car does he drive, what is his shoe size, his favorite tv shows, his hobby (answered all)

CO: how can u describe the relationship with your mother in law (that threw  me off but I answered) 

Then he said my visa has been approved, I was given a white paper along with some papers  and told me my visa would be ready within some couple of days. 

It's okay if u don't know the answer to some of the questions. Just be very confident.  That was my experince at Lagos Consulate today. Feel free to ask any questions 

Congrats...... I'm happy for you.

Hi, It has been a while, people.

 

So my wife had her interview last Wednesday and they approved her (Thank God), and since Friday CEAC is showing "issued". I don't know why they haven't mailed the passport back yet, does anyone know how it works, and how long it will take for my wife to receive her passport? Could they have already mailed, but the status is not showing on ais.usvisa-info (it still shows appointment status there)? 

 

Please note that my wife lives in the middle of Paris, about 20 minutes away from the consulate by train, when she told them that she would rather pick it up, they refused, and they said we only do deliveries. Freaking sucks!!! We are hoping that she receives her passport by Wednesday because tickets are super cheap for Thursday from Paris.

Hey we're in the same situation! My husband had his interview in London last Wednesday and our status on CEAC changed to issued Friday as well. Sorry I don't have any answers, I'm wondering the same thing. Hopefully they both get them back in the next day or two, good luck!! :)

Hi Madison! Could you tell me a little more about your experience at the London embassy? We are waiting for the date for my husband's interview, but I am just curious because I haven't heard much about London. What kind of questions did they ask? Was anyone allowed in the embassy with you?

Thanks in advance!

Of course! It was my husband who did the interview but I'll tell you what all he told me about it. His interview was scheduled for 10:30 AM, he got there at 10:10 and was out by 10:45 lol, he said it was super quick and easy. We were nervous before just because it was finally the last step but he said it was absolutely nothing to worry about, it felt like more of a formality to him then anything. They only asked him 3 questions 1. How we met 2. Where I live now 3. What I do for a job. He brought a ton of documents with him that were all listed on what to bring to the interview but the only documents they looked at for him were the DS-260 confirmation page, our marriage certificate, the police certificate, and then my most recent tax return (it was the day after tax day so they wanted to see my updated one for 2017). He said it was very very easy and well organized and the people he talked to were very nice. I didn't attend the interview with him but I think you can bring people with you, they just have to stay in a waiting area or something (I'd double check that though, I think I remember reading that about the London embassy but can't remember where). 

 

From what my husband told me you have nothing to worry about with it! Let me know if you have any other questions, good luck!!

I am actually already back in the States. I had a work obligation, so I needed to be back to facilitate. We will get his plane ticket as soon as he has that Visa in his hands. He wanted a few days to spend with his family and hasn’t had that chance since he is working. I’m here preparing our home for him when he gets here.

Let me know when your husband gets his passport 😊
