Hello,

I am here, I would say cause I am about to run mad from not living life anymore. I am waiting and waiting for the next step of this process. I feel like my life should fast foward so that I can have my baby here with me...... I was so happy to find this place and reading all the stories and getting pointers to get prepared. I am greatful to have a group of individuals that I can share my pains and joys with.

I wanted to know if anyone has been throught the K1 interview in Abuja???? :help:

For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. Romans 1vs20

Welcome to Visajourney!

I think you will find that only the Lagos embassy processes K1 visas. Be prepared to learn lessons in patience. May your journey be blessed.

Thank you all for such a warm welcome........ :D

I hope I do not ask too many questions on this long journey.

I spoke with my man and he stated that there are so many changes happening in Nigeria that it may be possible that the visa may be given at Abuja...

Now the question I have, is do I call CSC to change the location or do I sit and wait till they contact me :(

I would leave it until you know for sure. Then you can change it.
