Did you change your interview date? How did you do that sis? Please let us know 

I think for now it’s not good to change your interview do to the ban it might lead to denial

I don't think the consulate will deny your visa simply for asking to have your interview rescheduled......let us know what they say after your request.

Why?  People reschedule interviews all the time?  I doubt the consulate will entertain an earlier interview, but I don't think they would deny because she asked.

Hopefully, the consulate will make an extra effort to get the visa issued and printed since it is so close to the deadline...good luck...

Go for the date be prayerful they may print the visa on that day. And the way I am seeing the effort of Nigeria government things might turn around soon . According to news the will have crucial negotiation next week with US officials  hope something good will come out of it.

Update: So after getting my congressmen involved...we were told lack of bona fide evidence..case closed and headed back to USCIS..Sooo no criminal... fraud or misrep..and I dont think our 10yr age difference should have been an issue...I have requested my original file from USCIS to be sent to me to see what was transmitted to the consulate because I had alot of quality type evidence from chats..pics..phone records..credit cards..car insurance..affidavits of support from family and friends...Etc...At NVC we were DQ in 7 business days from submission..no rfes or nothing at USCIS nor NVC... make 4x the amount for a household of 2... visited my husband 3x...out of those 2 visits we visited other African countries for short vacays..if this was a sham marriage why in the hell would I come out of pocket so much to spend time with my husband??? Anyway...Im headed into immigration 2.O and plan to work with USCIS to overcome this...once my file is returned  which can take up to a year alone in the meantime I will get an attorney to address the NOIR coming from USCIS...I prolly could rebut this lack of evidence alone but not taking any chances going forward....there may have been a grave mistake made on someones part as I did use Rapid Visa for the I130 initial app and am looking to see if they DID not send my bona fide stuff to USCIS or did my stuff get lost somewhere along the way to the Consulate😡 Crazy part is that my husband had all this proof on him on the day of the interview..had the CO not already made up his mind and gave us the opportunity  by at least  putting us in AP to show evidence  going back to 2017 then I would NOT be writing this and now having to spend another year or so getting my baby here..beyond frustrated...dissappointed in this whole process as its already been 18mos away from my husband. Oh and  yes I do  blame myself for using Rapid Visa...I should have done all on my own as others have allowing me greater control over our process...but here we are...😞
