Returnee
Rating:  | Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
I got to the consulate before 6 am and there were already a number of people there (about 30). We were all asked to stand by the road a few meters from the Embassy. At 6 am, the security men asked us to move to a tent area where they scanned each person. (Remember not to have your bank token on you. Luckily I had read that on one review here). From there, we moved to another area, closer to the consulate. It was drizzling at this point. Once the rain got heavier, the security men allowed us to move to a canopied walkway in the same area.
At 6.20 am (luckily the rain had stopped), we were asked to move back out of the canopied walkway. Only people with 6.30 am appointments, whether immigrant or non-immigrant, were allowed to stay back. We were asked to bring out our interview letter P4 and open our medical envelopes. At 6.30 am, we were processed into the check-in room. The security men frisked me, and I was directed to a table where a man checked my bag (I had biscuits in my bag and he asked me to open them). Next I walked down to another table where my name was ticked off a list. I was then led to a waiting area. Once there were 5 of us on the queue, we were moved to the embassy, which is a few steps away, across the road. Here, we went through a security checkpoint and from there I moved to the main embassy building.
A Nigerian lady asked for originals and photocopies of police certificate, birth certificate, and marriage certificate; the opened medical report, 2 passport photographs and my international passport. I had arranged them as I knew what documents to submit based on previous reviews on this thread.She gave me a number (1) and I was asked to sit down. At 7.30 am, two female consular officers were on seat, They called about four people before me (older people) and then I was next. Both ladies were very pleasant. I was asked three questions:
Who is calling you? I told her my husband.
Tell me about your husband. I told her.
Next (with smiles), she told me I was approved.
I was out of the embassy by 8am.
