Consulate Review: Nigeria Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : August 6, 2012 Embassy Review : A big thanks to my best friend, Jesus Christ for all His grace, mercies and favour. I told Him I wanted protocols to be broken in my favour and this was done. I spent only three minutes if not less before the CO. He did not ask for any additional documents like skype, yahoo messsenger, emails and call logs. Questions were: What is the name of your spouse? What name does your spouse by in the US? How did your spouse get to the US? Tell me about your spouse's family? What did your spouse tell your about the city where lives? What kind of job do you intend to do when you get to the US? Have you ever been to the US? Does your spouse have any kids? Do you have any kids? Has any of you ever been married before? Now, the knowledge I got from VJ was quite helpful as I saw a virtually all others who came for the immigrants visa with their x-ray film. If I had not known through VJ that there was no need for the x-ray film, I would have been really worried when I noticed I was just about the only one without the x-ray. I was the only one with a bag. Some persons where wondering if I would be allowed to go in with the bag: I had no issue with going in with the bag. Just be sure to keep out creams, nail vanish, flash drives, phones, camera, hair brush, juice , water, etc. My interview was fixed for 7 a.m. I got there at about 20 mins to 6 a.m. and met quite a crowd already waiting. Acting on knowledge obtained from VJ that immigrant visas applicants line up on the left and non-immigrants to the right, I positioned myself in a great position for ease of movement into the left. When at 6:30 we were asked to cue up, I was the third person in the line, a husband and wife (DV winners) were in front. The aged and women with children were attended to first. While one of the CO's was attending to the DV couple, one of the other CO beckon on me to step over to his window. Three minutes later, I was through: Glory be to God! I stepped out of the consulate at about 9 a.m. I am picking up my passport and the visa next week Monday. Please remember to go with passport photos as I almost did not want to having reasoned that since I had submitted along with the DS-230 form there was no need to go with any passport photos. Thank God I took fresh passport photos the night before the interview. Thanks once again guys for all your kind support. It did help a great deal. Rating : Very Good
