IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhat to bring to interview
For IR-1/CR-1 Visa ,Let your husband go with the copies of documents you submitted for the petition.having enough evidence with is better than lacking them at the time of the interview.
Go with as much as you can lay your hands on.
Best of luck

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHow to withdraw denied k-1 petetion

hw do you intend on resolving the issue with you and your fiancee having the same last name? was there anything else that was cause of denial? did you offer or plan to provide docs like dna/blood/birth certificate/school history/address history samples/your parents to children(you guys) dna sample? as pple mentioned, this is lagos consulate, they can still look at it in different ways. for example, the CO might now think you were previously married before and then you took a oath and lied that you were engaged. OR, this is another way to bring a family memeber over. You want a crazy idea: maybe marry in Nigeria, live there for months, have a baby together with your spouse, and then provide baby dna to prove. again, crazy idea, but i think thats the extreme length, and even then, it doesn't guarantee the CO will agree and give visa. because again, its Nigeria and unfortunately we would fraud any way possible to visa. really think it through.. sometimes its not the money invested, but the time and energy. all da best.

How could U???? say we would fraud any way possible visa.perhaps U???? dont know magnitude ?f running pointable comment with bad reference.
According †??????? what ? know,CR1 voids a K-1 petition,if U???? decide †??????? file afta K1

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIs this common

It's common if you are an older woman petitioning a much younger man from a nation with high immigration fraud. Even if you got married and refiled, you still have an uphill battle.


Since the Age seems quite Large. Did you try to contact the embassy.Its different if the Petitioner is Male and Beneficiary is Female.
This isnt to say there wont be an approval at the consulate.
Provide enough evidence that shows ongoing relationship
Cancel out your K1 Petition if you intend to go through Spouse Visa

Write down the Questions asked from your man during his interview
Where there RED FLAGS like
Age Difference
Cultural difference (especially if you r white)
How many times you visited
Last time you visited
if you have passed Child bearing Age
Let the house know these.
Meanwhile you try to contact your congressman or Senator (It has worked well for some)
Call the Nigerian embassy to ask why (Try to Speak to a Superior Consular)(Worked for Some)

Dont Lose Faith- It has worked for some

Hi All,

We just received our interview date for the Lagos Embassy. Its December 19, 2012. Has anyone had success, in Lagos, changing their interview time to get an earlier date? I would LOVE to have my husband definitely here in time for Christmas with my family!



Hardly Happens
But there is No harm in trying
December is here already

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCR1 Visa Denied at US Embassy
The student Visa is diff from the Spouse Visa.I am in the same show,though i am yet to submit my application.
Fight this by calling the embassy to know why he was refused.state category that u werent responsible for his intention to study(which isnt a red flag anyway).u are only interested in seeing ur man move up to u in the states.
Dont b scared,though its devastating.More energy should come from u now,cos this is d period one gets weak most.
Insha Allah,u will + response

Just got off the phone with a tier 2. He says there is no specific timeframe as to when my petition filed April 03 (in 4 days my petition would have been 5 months with NBC) will be adjudicated. He put a service request for NBC inquiring about my petition; then tell me I may or may not hear from NBC. If NBC ever replies, then it would be no later than September 14.
 
USCIS is a joke - a government agency that is unable to maintain accurate and consitent information upon customer request. If by Sep 14, I don't hear from NBC, I will initiate an inquiry about my petition through my US Senator's office. I will once again initiate another inquiry through my US House of Rep, 7 days after initiating one with the US Senator. I will keep on until something happens with my petition.
 
It's unbelievable how NBC functions. There's no reason to keep petitions piling on their desks or wherever they may be exceeding the USCIS 5 months processing goal.
 
I refuse to wait and watch my petition exceed 6 months mark.

Hello everyone'just had my immigrant visa interview in lagos on the 3rd of September 2014,first I thank God how it went,the scripture says in all thing we should thanks,bcos some immigrant visa applicant were denialed on the spot,mine started like this,i will try and remmeber all the questions,bcos the CO Asked so many questions and she did take out time to look at almost all the pictures I went with,asked what was our means of communication,i told her phone call,emails,whaspp chat,facebook chat and she only looked at the phone call log and asked me if she can keep all the call log? And I said sure,then she said she need more time to review my case b4 she can make a decision and handed me a white paper that say the 60 days stuff,well I must say it's hard for me and my wife bcos we never saw this AP stuff comming,bcos we did't think we had red flag in our relationship,well we thank God for bringing me and my wife this far,just like everyone advice just pray and wait in hope and faith and join a support group,and I want to say thank you to everyone that have help us go through this all process,like dwheel76 and other VJ members that have always keep an open door to my many questions...lol..thanks everyone
