Ok thanks for this info I am on the Tmobile network already....so I just need to pay $19/month plus the .9 a min for the call correct?

Its a different cell phone provider, its just using the Tmobile towers when you make the call.  I think they have some sort of agreement. 

 

If you have an extra cell phone i would goto a store where they cell the sim card, by the $19/mo plan (it is prepaid) try it out and if it works you could change your provider from Tmobile to Lycamobile.

Ok thanks for this info is the Boss revolution app free?

No it’s not. You’ll recharge using a debit or credit card and you’ll be given 1 free dollar for the first time. It’s a pretty good service.

What phone services are you guys/gals using to call your fiance? I'm looking for suggestions because the one I'm using is really starting to be inconsistent with their service...... I'm using local phone now....any suggestion are appreciated...thanks

I have Boost Mobile--it's on the Sprint network.  I pay $40/month: $30 for my phone/internet service, and $10 for international calling.  It varies by country, but for Costa Rica it's unlimited to landlines, and I get 200 minutes free to cell phones--after that it's like $.06/minute to cell phones.  My fiance barely gets any cell reception at home so we always talk on the land line.  It's monthly pre-pay, no contract.  I've had Boost for years, I'm pretty satisfied with the service.

We just took screenshots for that. Granted, we didn't have a lot of calls in Skype and/or WhatsApp until after we filed.

My K1 was approved.. On Nov 20... So happy it was 323 days with an RFE.. What is the next step for me... Nigeria is the country.. Thank you in advance

Sorry but I am going to have to break some news to you. Nigeria interview are closed/booked for at least 2-3 months out. You can watch the scheduling website for a cancellation and grab it but this is what everyone is reporting. Look for a thread of others from Nigeria are in as they are helping each other out.

Wet signatures are no longer required for I-134 for your Nigeria interview. You are able to send in scanned documents. I signed, scanned and emailed mine to my fiancé to print and it was accepted.

 

Scheduling the interview can take 1 to 3 months. Once you pay the 95,400 naira ($265) visa fee in a GTB Bank, you can go online to schedule an appointment at www.ustraveldocs.com You can get the forms online at http://nigeria.usembassy.gov/immigrant_visa_forms.html No need to go to the consulate to pick up forms. Download forms if unexpired or get current versions of same forms. Email LagosIV@state.gov for your interview date.

Hi all. My fiancé and I were approved nov 8 2018. They guy told my fiancé he should be receiving his visa within 7-10 business days. It’s now been 3 weeks and now visa so my fiancé emailed the embassy and the got a reply back saying our case is now in administration processing and they will contact him when the visa will be ready to be picked up. Just some more waiting but is anyone else in a similar situation??
