Consulate Review: Nigeria Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : September 2, 2018 Embassy Review : The interview went very well. Arrived at past 6 (my interview was scheduled for 7am) and were asked to for 2 lines (immigrant & non-immigrant). The security asked us to open our medical results before we got inside the embassy. We were allowed inside in groups of 5 and taken to the waiting room. We sat down and were asked for our passports, appointment letter and ds 160 confirmation page. And them we were given numbers. After that they took us across the street where the interview room is. When u get in there they do an initial screening to collect the necessary documents from you as well as your passport. Then u wait to be called for interview according to your numbers. Be prepared to do a lot of standing. I arrived so early but my interview actually took place around 10:30 am or so. I was only asked a few questions by the male CO.  1. How did i meet my fiance? 2. When did we start dating officially? 3. Have we met since then? 4. Do I have pictures of us together? 5. What movies have we seen together? He asked to see the pictures and asked questions about where we went and what we did as he looked through them. It was very nice, like a relaxed conversation. After that he said my visa was approved and i did not hear the rest because I was so happy 😂. I thanked him and exited the room. The entire interview was not more than 3 minutes. My interview was on 08/28. On 08/30 pm i received an email and sms stating that my passport was ready for pickup. I went to the DHL visa collection office around 8:30 am on 08/31 to pick it up. I did not wait for the consulate to receive my case. I went ahead and filled and submitted my ds 160 and secured an interview date and medical and got my police clearance in the first week of august. If i had waited I may have only gotten interview date somewhere in late september. Cheers, Hannah (updated on September 2, 2018) 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.
