I wish you all the best. They should respond in about a week. Prayer is the master key to get the Lord's favor on this.

@Twice_Ola Unfortunately it came back negative. The embassy in Nigeria refused to act on it on the ground of fairness. While I understand that fairness and equity is right,  I also argued that expedited action happens all the time based on laid down criteria in all field of practice . For instance in the medical field where I belong,  a life threatening situation will demand immediate action while others are attended to afterwards. Airline attends to families with children,  seniors,  pregnant women etc first, Same with banks etc.  My family is just praying for God's intervention, one of the family ll age out in a couple of weeks which ll be sad.

My husband is Nigerian and we just keep praying they will open soon, especially since they are suppose to resume international flights on the 29th of August. This is getting ridiculous!

Did you try to expedite your case and it was denied? Is the embassy in Nigeria working on things or what? Haven't seen my husband in over a year now, and I need knee surgery,  but we are still waiting ,hoping, and praying good news will come soon. This is hard on all of us! Best of luck!

Some African countries already resumed. I believe Kenya has resumed some services.

I just want to encourage everyone of us here still waiting on the embassy to reopen. Pls don’t let this get the better part of you. Be positive and wait patiently. I know it’s very very hard, but it will all come to an end soon. When flights resume try to visit, or get your partner to visit, this is really important as distance puts a huge strain on relationships and I know a couple of people who have broken up and abandoned their petition this period. It may look like there’s no head way but trust me there’s light at the end of the tunnel. All your plans will come to fruition if you believe. Pray pray pray...there’s nothing God can’t do and he never fails.

 

Pls expect good news soon!

This is all shades of wrong. Lagos embassy in particular seems to have developed a reputation for notoriety and arrogance in such matters that sometimes it seems trying is just not worth it. But maybe its just me imaginihg things.

 

Pray that Judge Mehta gives a rolling 30-day TRO (at least) in the Gomez v Trump case on the 27th. And of course a prompt reopening immediately after (need we hope?!) could just do the trick for you. Let's at least keep hope alive. Sending our best wishes from here.

even if the Embassy opens, there's still a travel ban and we can't be sure everyone will be given a waiver . That's another thing to worry about. Apart from the Nigeria ban, there's a general ban for all countries who wants to immigrate to the US which expires by 31st of December and can be expanded again next month. Thank God spouses of US citizens are exempted though. The prayer now for me is that Trump should just lose this elections and let things get back to normal bcus I'm tired of this waiting game.
