My fiance and I received our I-129F approval after 8 monthsof waiting and after going on to the visa center got transfered to the Lagos embassy. After not hearing anything about an interview date 2 months later I started emailing the Lagos consulate and inquiring about what was going on, after 2 weeks they emailed me back and told me his interview was April 30th and it was now April 17th. I believe they would have let him miss his interview without batting an eye. We had 9 days to prepare but we got past that obsticle
By the grace of God we got all the paperwork, police report and most of the medical exam done in 1 day and he kept his appointment. After waiting 5 hours they called him to the window ( how much more impersonal can they get )and before he was even sworn in the interviewing officer told him she wasn't giving him a visa. After taking his visa fee knowing she wasn't giving him his visa she proceeded to ask questions which he answered completely. She asked for his proof of our relationship which he handed her. She asked about pictures. He gave her some photo's and then proceeded to show her the scrapbook I had made of my prior trip to Lagos. She asked for the scrapbook, when it wouldn't fit through the slot she forced it, ripping it apart. She asked him where he got the book. He told her I made it, she asked where , he said America, she asked how he got it, he said my fiance sent it to me, she said where is the paperwork for the package, he said in the packet of paperwork he had just handed her and hadn't looked at, she said oh yea, I've een it. He asked her how and she said I've seen it and your still not getting a visa. She confiscated all our photo's, the scrapbook, all our cards ,letters, phone bills, text messages, emails, IM messages etc and told him he wasn't getting them back, then proceeded to tell him he was getting a denial letter and they were going to request that the USCIS revoke his I-129F approval based on not enough evidence or proof of a relationships. Our denial that day was based on someone's grudge against anyone having a relationship with any kind of age difference between them and just down right nastiness and disrespect.
It is sad that we have these kind of Americans representing us in foreign countries because they are the ones who give Americans a bad name. I am ashamed of the way some of my fellow Americans behave. I don't blame other countries for looking down on us, I just hope they know that just because there are a few bad apples doesn't make the whole bunch rotten, Oh yea the same way we should view citizens of other countries, just because they have a few bad apples doesn't make the whole tree bad. The way the Lagos consulate treats the Nigerian people is disgusting and they should be ashamed. What goes around comes around eventually, Gos is watching !!
