Nope. still waiting. Case was updated before the ban. But guess the ban made them stop. I'm still praying and won't give up hope.

Any good news

Since it normally takes Lagos several days to issue a visa after an interview, I would expect we will start seeing status changes to "issued" soon if K-1s are not affected......Hopefully, very, very soon.

My husband is Ugandan American, and I’m Nigerian. Can I go back to my husbands country before he can file for our spousal visa? Because of this ban on Nigeria? 

Are you an Ugandan resident with proof to show you are eligible to interview there? Do you live there? If not no you can't interview where you are not a citizen or permanent resident.

I’m not resident there, but because of this ban, I thought of relocating there. We are about to file for our spousal visa.

Amen. I pray so. 

I pray so too. It is unfortunate that even if the Nigerian government complies with all the sanctions, the president still may not lift the ban. It truly sickens me.

Hopefully, he is right, but I will be very surprised if that is true.....very surprised.  In my humble opinion, it would be wrong to issue fiance visas while not issuing spousal visas..a K-1 is a "non-immigrant visa" in name only......just my opinion......hopefully, the ban will be lifted soon.

Well my fiance is from Nigeria and his K1 visa was ISSUED today!!! So either A) the ban does indeed NOT affect K1 visas or B) he is an exception because his interview took place before the ban (Feb 11)

K1 is affected by the ban.

 

Congrats.
