I thank God for His Grace!
Interview: June 20th, 2018.
I (with my lovely Fiancé and my sister) arrived at the Embassy by 5:30am. We met many people waiting. My appointment was for 7:30am. The first security check started by 6:00am. After a short while, Nonimmigrant and Immigrant Applicants were separated and two lines were formed. All sealed envelopes (including Medical Result) were asked to open. All the checks were done, numbers assigned (My No.= 48) and we made our way to the Main/Interview Hall (across the street). Inside the hall, I joined the queue for the Immigrant Visa Applicants. At the window, the Nigerian Man requested for my Passport, 2 Passport Photos, Copy of my Birth Certificate, DS-160, Copy of Appointment Letter, Police Certificate, Medical unsealed envelope, Affidavit of Support and Tax Returns (I asked him what year and he said 'anyone you're with'. So, I gave him 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014). After that, I waited for my number to be called by a Nigerian Woman for Fingerprinting. Then, I waited for a long time for my number to be called for the proper interview. During the waiting, I positioned to monitor the method the COs (2 Men and a Woman) were asking questions (you could hear them).😀 They were all nice and I made a short prayer for God to choose the right person for me. After a while, my number was called by the Korean American Man at Window 17.

Me: At the Beach, Elegushi Beach...here in Lagos
CO: Okay...I'm going to Approve your Visa. Congratulations.
Me: Thank you, Sir. I appreciate.☺
CO: You're welcome.
I wished others waiting 'Goodluck' and left the hall. My Fiance hugged me and was excited.
The proper interview lasted just 3-5 mins. It was fast and like a conversation. I was relaxed, smiling and hopeful.
We were about 60 Immigrant Visa Applicants. All were approved except 3. The first was asked to return some additional documents with his passpoet given back to home, a spousal visa applicant was asked to send additional documents (he was inconsistent and unsure with some of his answers...saying 'I wouldn't know' 'I don't think so' and the third person was denied because her Fiancé was still sharing tbe same address with his ex-wife (literally, they are living under the same roof. ***The CO asked her, " What's the relationship between your Fiancé and his ex-wife*** That was when I knew domething was wrong).
My Advice: Be Calm, Pray, Prepare to stand for long at the Embassy, Be consistent with your answers, Never make the CO have second thought about your case, Concentrate and Everything will work well for you.
My Case:
We didn't frontload (submitted a Passport Stamp and 3 Pictures).
We met twice in person (When we met and when he came to visit).
Short Relationship Duration (We met in August, 2017 and filed in October, 2017).
ONE WITH GOD IS MAJORITY!! GOD IS GRACEFUL!ðŸ™
