Consulate Review: Nigeria Review Topic: Event Description Review Date : June 16, 2018 Embassy Review : I had my interview on the 14th of June 2018, it was slated for 6:45am, made it to the lagos consulate at about 6:31am. It was a long wait, got my documents checked and biometrics done , swore an oath and then had the interview. Spent about 3hrs and couple of minutes before my interview was conducted, the interview lasted 5mins thereabouts.

I wish others good luck with theirs. Rating : Very Good
