I got to the embassy around 6AM... After few minutes we were asked to line up and go in one after the other... I was given a slip to fill in my contact information. Then we entered the embassy. I was called by an elderly woman in window 20.
.
.
She told me to raise my right hand and swear
Questions:
How did you meet
When did you meet?
Has he been previously married.
How many kids does he have.
Can I have his Passport data page.
Or his naturalization certificate.
Can I have his divorce decree.
What does he do.
Where was he working before.
.
Then she gave me the right has a spouse of u.s citizen. She said go through it at home.

Question continues ...
C.O - Can I have pictures of you together, call logs, chats.
I gave her everything including call minutes and video screenshots.
C.O- Can I see just 2 pictures from your wedding photos.
She said okay that's enough. Then the golden words..
She gave me the form to pick up at DHL.


TIPS--->

• A lot of people have who has joint sponsors, forget to bring joint sponsors letter, and again the letter needs to be notorized.

• Some people came with the birth certificate they were given at the hospital, please to avoid AP, go to NPC office to get your Attestation of birth... regards of your age.

• Bring enough evidences of bonafide marriage.. everything you can lay your hands on...

• Be confident, don't panic to avoid blabbing

• Pray, I can't over emphasize this. PLEASE PRAY.🙏
Rating : Good

Arewa on 2020-03-12 said:
@Greg101 Thank you, will definitely get everyone updated, and it will be good news 🙏
Mac_skendy on 2020-03-12 said:
@Arewa very well dear, hope your birth cert is issued by local govt or NPC nd all have a copy of AOS & Transcript also. all the best
Arewa on 2020-03-12 said:
@Mac_skendy yes i do have my attestation of birth. And the AOS scanned documents my husband sent to the NVC.... I'm just turn on some people say he has to DHL them to me... but i have also read of people just taking the scanned copies too....
Arewa on 2020-03-12 said:
Plus, the police certificate expires after 3month, so i will go get another one, so i don't end up with an RFE... God forbid bad thing, i have had patient enough in this journey to have a delay whatsoever... the process is draining..lol...
Mac_skendy on 2020-03-18 said:
@Arewa As regards the AOS a copy is all you need, he doesnt have to DHL any cos i had it with me but they did not ask for it during my interview. As regards the police certificate you can have another one done but not till they ask for the new one dont show it first cos all they wanted is the documents you submitted to NVC, but i know its valid for a year actually but to be on the safe side just have it separately just in case they ask you to do another one you can now give it to C/O But lemmi ask when did you do your police certificate?
Arewa on 2020-05-07 said:
I'm sorry i am just seeing this, thanks for the advice... got the police certificate around February...
Mac_skendy on 2021-03-23 said:
congratulations!!!! so happy for you
Arewa on 2021-03-25 said:

*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.
