I think they were referring to the fact that the interview is at the Lagos consulate (not an embassy). The embassy in Nigeria is in Abuja.

Put yourself in the shoes of the consulate officer:   1.  Married 4 years with only 3 total visits. 2.  Separated for a year. 3.  Very little evidence of time together and continue

Do not make the mistake of thinking you can compare Lagos with other consulates......Lagos is on a different level....of fraud.  Thus, you need a very strong case.

I will correct this then...thanks

When I filed my taxes, I could not add my husband because he was in Nigeria and did not have a social, so the tax rep told me I had to file single and not MFS and I also couldn't file HOH..It bothered me because I knew this was going to cause us an issue, but apparently the Lagos Consulate was aware of this happening and people still got approved and me being one..However, as soon as my husband got here, we had our 2016 and 2017 taxes ammended..I am not suggesting to you to do this, but if need be, apply for an ITIN for your spouse so that way you will be at ease..
