Consulate Review: Nigeria Review Topic: General Review Event Description Review Date : December 8, 2017 Embassy Review : My Lagos interview was pretty fast. Apart from all the security searchers before the main interview tho. I was asked the following questions. 1. Who is calling me to the USA. 2. When and where did I meet my spouse. 3. What does my spouse do for a living. 4. How many times has my spouse visited Nigeria. The female consular office asked me to show her my favorite wedding pictures, she then told me I was approved and where to pick up my visa. Was a very friendly, fast and short interview. I got to the embassy at about 5.40am and met loads of people there already waiting. My appointment was for 6.45 so I just followed the que for security checks. And just to help others who live close to Abuja or Abuja. You can now do your medical in Abuja Nigeria at Migration for Health at wuse 2 Abuja. You don't have to travel like the way to Lagos for your medicals before interview. IOM Abuja medical center was recently added to the list of approved medical facilities to conduct medical for intending USA immigrant. I asked about it here but it seems most people on vj don't know about the new approved Abuja medical center. I did medical here in Abuja before going for my interview and I had no problems whatsoever. So good luck in advance 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.
