@ K.Ekah congratulations on your journey through this administrative process at Lagos embassy. I’m also in a similar situation with you. Can we have a phone chat if you don’t mind. I have some few questions to ask you.

Thank you. You can ask me question here and I will answer to the best of my ability.
How do you explain this part; The joint sponsor explaining why they are willing to sponsor you.

We just stated they were a friend of the family and that they knew him well and knew our struggle and offered to help.
*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.
