Hi Everyone, trust your day is starting out well... Being going through the thread and to be honest the information is very helpful and thanks for the those who have had their session and it was approved your experience is no doubt a boost to us.
Okay, the matter of the day- with the help of this thread my fiancee' and I have been able to put up the documents and other things we should be needing to complete the documentation process, so where I need a bit of clarification in regards to timing, what am required to do, etc.

So she planned to send in our application this week or by Monday next week , Question 1 could this take 5-6 month processing time? Then that's a really good improvement because a friend of mine who left last 3 weeks said it took Approx 10-11months
Question 2 Once we get the green light - meaning the application has been sent to Lagos Am I applying through the DS 160 form and also paying the visa of up too 95k or thereabout? do I get to do my medicals at that point and also my police report. 

 

Question 3 : passport expires Oct 28, 2019, so i am applying for a new passport but we have done the documentation and ready to submit do we go ahead with it ?

I would also love to contact anyone personally via WhatsApp or email.

Thanks, a lot  guys for your response .. I will be checking to see the comments

#1. The whole process (USCIS, NVC, Consulate) could take 5-6 months but it could also take 10-11 months. Based on current trend, 10-11 month is more realistic than 5-6 months

 

#3. Your passport is not required at this point, so you can renew your passport now and submit the new passport with DS-160 later.

Currently 6 months is pretty realistic for NOA1 to interview if there are no RFEs and you're at a consulate without a significant interview backlog (Nigeria's averaging 54 days from arrival at the consulate to interview according to users here, which is longer than many). However, also note extensive post-interview administrative processing is fairly common in Africa, and no one has stats for how long that takes on average that I know of.

The entire process do take 10-11 months, we are at the 10th month and still no Visa yet. and then after getting the visa, you now get on another road for AOS which at the moment looks like another 10-11 months process.  If i have to do it all over again ill go for spouse visa. the timing are not far from each other and the beneficiary come with green card.  For question 2, all the things listed will be done after i-129f approved, so you go about 6 months before that come in place. Question 3, your passport not needed, you just need to submit information page of your passport for the application.

LOL. Relax. The process takes months.

 

So, send in your application, continue to work on your relationship and focus on other things till you get your approval from the USCIS.

 

Then you can start the process with the consulate in Nigeria.

 

Bottom line is relax, focus on other things and don't worry or stress yourself.

oga your body dey ginger .... i like that. you need to do more on real proof of your relationship.  how many times have u met in person. begin to document your conversation and i guess u can also front load facts.

join whatsapp  & facebook groups after u submit ur application, there u can get current info that applied within the time line u also applied

@Teepee what do you expect Body suppose sweet me Nah, so when you mean to do more on real proof of relationship can you clarify what you mean by that? I have conversation dating far as when we said our first Hello on Instagram till date, I also have our WhatsApp chat all printed out till date I might still print another one when that time comes for the interview.  We have met Once within the last 2 years of her filing this application so at least I am still in line with the requirement. Talking of Whatsapp groups is there anyone you can refer me too ..I  will send you a private message let me have your number over there.
