Consulate Review: Nigeria Review Topic: Waiver/Admin Review Event Description Review Date : September 10, 2006 Embassy Review : Well, this process has taken forever. When we first had our interview we were told that it would only take a few months. Well after waiting 7 months I returned to Nigeria and went to the embassy to find out what was going on. They werent replying to my emails so I did it in Person. That wasnt much help. But I didnt find out that they had just started to process our case again. So we waited and waited. Sept 05 one year from our last interview. My husband was returning to the Embassy on a weekly bases for them to have him go and get more documents. It was crazy I was fed up and Pregnant I contacted my Congressman and he looked into in. Finally In Decemeber 1 month before I was due. The embassy said that we would have to presue another Visa or due the K3 over again. Well the CR1 we had started in the being so we choose to finish it. They never gave us a direct reason why. That is why the Congressman is still fighting it. They are very harrsh at the embassy. Just make sure you have every little document that way they cant send you away and say they want more. We kept bringing everything they would ask for and when he gave it to them they would say we dont need that now we need you to go get this document and when you get it bring it back to us. I know the embassy very well. It is seriously how the Interveiwer feels that day about you getting a Visa or not. If you want to know more you can IM me and I will let you know. I felt the interviewer we had was raciest because of what he said to me. Rating : Moderate

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
