Consulate Review: Nigeria Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : January 10, 2016 Embassy Review : I had my interview on Friday 8th January, 2016. at 7am. At the US consulate in Lagos. I arrived at the consulate by 6am. Alot of people where already there. We were Ushared into the consulate building at 6:30am by some security Agents after been scanned. we were being given a serial number upon entry into the interview hall. My number popped up on a screen. And I went to a window where an African woman attanded to me. She requested the following documents from me. *My Int'l passport. *2 passports photograph. *Affidavit of support * My Fiancé's Tax return, *police report. *Fiancé pay stub *Medical result She also asked if I knew my Fiancé phone contact off heart. And I gave it to her *My Birthday certificate (note: make an extra copy) photocopy was also taken. I was ask to go back to my seat. My number popped up on the screen again after 30minutes. It was time for me to be interviewed.... I was interviewed by a white lady. Here comes the interview... Co: Good morning Me: Good morning (with a soft smile). Co: Raise up your right hand and swear a oath. Promise to say nothing but the truth. Me: I raised up my right hand & I repeated after her. Co: Who is inviting you? Me: My Fiancé Co: What is her Name? Me: Told her Co: What does she do in the US? Me: She works Co: what kind of work? Me: told her Co: Where does she work? Me: told her company name. (Co looks into her computer while typing some stuffs on her computer keyboard) Co: Where does she live? Me: North Carolina. Co: How do u know her Me: I knew her through my Sister Co: Does your sister lives in the US? Me: Yes Co: How did your sister get to know your Fiancé? Me: They attend the same church Co: Where does your sister live in the US? Me: Georgia Co: How come they attend the same church? Me: Lemme explain....

Co : Your Documents are complete.(co opens our case file and closed it back; I could sight my int'l passport in between the folder) Co: Your Visa is Approved! (Co Gave me a white sheet. Go to the circled address to pick up your visa in 2weeks time. K1 visa usually takes two weeks to process. She further explains... Me: Thank you very much. (With a big smile). The Co never requested to see no prove or evidence from me. Of which I went there with a trailer of evidience. lol. Note: Make sure u know basic informations about you and your fiance very well. It gives confidence * whatever you don't know. Just say "I dont know". Better than answering a question wrongly. Cos they have every information on their computer. *Arrive at the consulate 1hour before your appointment time. It helps you to relax and calm your nerves. *Pray *Be relaxed and confident during the interview process. *Dress in a way you fell comfortable with. Look smart and cool. I shared my interview experience and I hope this will be helpful to someone else. I apologize for the long writeups. I also want to use this medium to thank Everyone on Visajourney Rating : Very Good

*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.

** Not all cases are transfered
