Could you recount how his interview went as much as you can from what your fiance told you? what did they ask? what makes you say he had an 'unfair" inteview? did they ask for documents or a question that raised red flags? did they return his passport to him? what kind of paper was he given at the end of the interview? etc Maybe with any of these answered , someone may be able to offer some opinion. Stay strong Meanwhile about conatcing lagos, it is very difficult or nayone to pick up that phone and when they do it is usuaaly one of the lower level workers hwo has no clue what is going on that answers...and they annoy you more by saying something like " can you do what they ask you to do" or "why dont you email them" and I keep wondering who is "them" this is your office!!!! so dear, email the consulate with your case number in the subjetc line. make sure you direct it to the appropriate section IV ( LagosIV@state.gov) or NIV LagosNIV@state.gov and state your questions. within 2-3 business days you should get some kind of response from them. You need get the whole conversations your fiancee had during his interview.what were those things he was asked.Are u both from Nigeria.did he go with Pics/Docs that showed you guys are married sorta. His detailed interview review will help people here in providing answer to your question. Just know you are never alone in it.People get denied and approved at Lagos Consulate..Just believe	souleymon	Not Telling	Nigeria	2011-12-14 09:40:00

Africa: Sub-Saharan	So has anyone considered moving to Africa instead of living here in America	Of cos living in Nigeria is less costly and you ve the opportunity of exploring the market,depending on your field. You will succeed as long as u dont bring anoda culture mentality in dealing with Nigerians.Nigeria is developing,and it provide a great avenue to wealth,if u look closely.housing,feeding,maintainance etc r extremely cheap except for the cost of running a biz on Generator.i can only hope u ve a desire to bear the lil lost at times,cos in it lies a great gain	souleymon	Not Telling	Nigeria	2011-10-11 01:18:00

Africa: Sub-Saharan	agencies	Sorry about your Situation.But the best Financial Assistant comes from People you know directly or indirectly. Talking about Moving to Malaysia to study,what stopped your man from studying in Nigeria or was he just in need to leave Nigeria.
