Thank u to all of u :) i appreciate the support of this forum so much!!! I received an email yesterday early afternoon telling me my address change was complete, however i never changed my address so i was confused. I called USCIS but had a 140 minute wait on the phone so i left my number n name to receive a call back... I received the call and the tier 2 worker told me this was a glitch that my fiancees Alien ID# had been entered into the system & my case was being viewed then....... I was so excited i knew it was coming!!! I then received the approval (as suspected) via email around midnite!!! I still havent told my baby!!! I have been trying to reach him but his phones uncharged :( no power of course!! Lol omg im so excited!!! The nxt steps are goin to b exciting!! I cant wait to hear from my man today!!! Hes gunna scream like i did!!

To clear up confusion, in 9ja gifts are fine, western union is not.i'm sure others will chime in.your I-134 will show ur capability of support.what i've read on here suggests that monetary Support ,looks like a transaction .As in ,u or the beneficary is paying for this process and this is not a bonafide relationship.I may be wrong but our resident 9ja vj advisors will know. On the ds156 ,i got this information from the interview prep packet lagos sends after they received our petition from Nvc.pls forgive my typos,i'm on my phone.Best of luck!

Ok thank u.. I can see how it may look shady... I have read that if my fiance was sending me money here to the US it looks as tho hes paying me off.. Thats not our case, i have sent him money to 9ja before he began work cuz I did not like the sacrifices he was making.. He however didnt mind as he was used to that life style but I like him to have no worries :) he never once asks for money & he has denied my offers many times... But if the Embassy wants to twist things I certainly wont b providing the Ammunition lol thank u for ur advice, different perspectives are always useful :) god bless

All taken to interview.Do NOT Send WU receipts CO's in lagos may not/will not  look favorably on this.
 
 
 


Really? Its me giving my fiance financial assistance... I thought it was frowned upon only if the benificiary was giving the USC $$ ? I was told to show giving my fiance $ or gifts was a good idea... Please clarify

 
why does two Ds-156 need  to be  signed or is it one for the petitioner and one  for the  beneficiary?

not sure lol but maybe 1 for the Embassy & 1 for POE?
yorubaqueen13Not TellingNigeria2013-07-25 09:55:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAfter Approval, moving on :)

2 copies of DS156 (signed ) and  1 copy of  DS56K (unsigned ) is taken to interview in lagos.
 
Medicals- There are two  approved clinics, The children's practice is better in my opinion from what i have seen.  You will pay 12,000 initially on the day of your medical exam,After you sign in you are then sent to the bank  (it is not too far from the clinic ) .The remainder to be paid is determined by shots or additional tests to take .Ie EKG . This will be paid at the clinic.
 
 
Tips for medical arrive early,eat beforehand,make a copy of  his passport bio-data page to bring to medicals.Bring 3 Passport pics.




Thank u... Where does the Affidavit of support come in? Is this, along with finacial proof, sent someplace ahead of time or take original to interview?

You got more than enough to proof bonafide relationship, so I think you be just fine. How did you get the document from the consulate requesting the medical exam, did you find it online or it was emailed to you?

I was in a packet of papers my attorney emailed to me. Its found online tho I do believe. It comes from the Consulate

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAfter Approval, moving on :)
Ok, so I have received the Affidavit of Support & a few other documents needed such as the DS-156 (which will have 2 signed and completed) & the DS-156k and I will start to call NVC this Friday bugging them for my case # lol but Im a little confused on what to do with theses docs... Do we take them to the interview completed? Or send them some where? Also, i have the document from the consulate requesting the medical exam, is this the only doc needed to take to the medical exam besides passport photos & NOA2? (Original of course) and i have seen a few different places listed for medical exams in Lagos.. Which is the best? I have been told Dr K.A Omotosho is the only one accepted however others r listed? Is an appt needed or just walk in during hours the first day (2nd & 3rd days r scheduled before leaving the first day)? Correct? Do we need the NVC case # to proceed with medical & police clearance? Im assuming we wait n get our interview date first? As for visa fee, i have read we pay at a bank... Which bank? What docs r required wen paying? I have read on the embassy site that in Lagos u pay at interview but others here say u pay in advance at a bank... (Confused) and last but not least ( sorry about the flood of questions) but i will b sending a portfolio to my fiance containing proof of bonafide relationship with the following..... More pics of us together, pics of me (usc) with his family members, pics of us both with his family members & mutual friends, emails, love letters, more recent chat logs ( including conversations we have both speaking yoruba) telephone bills me calling my fiance, chats between my fiance & my daughters, letters to fiance from daughters, email chats between fiance & my father, acknowledgment letters from family members & friends (from fiances side & mine) original NOA1&2 hard copies, entire K-1 application (copies) including my divorce judgments, affidavit of support from co-sponsor (my father) original airline tkts & copies of visa stamps & visa... Am i missing anything??
Thank u for all ur responses VJ members... Im looking forward to getting my baby home!!!
FAMILY UPDATE: my mother has been given a short time to live officially today :( & will b placed in Hospice care tommorow!! I really need my other half home soon!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIs this a possible RFE

Yes it is an rfe the dame thing happened to me and about 2 weeks ago they sent me an rfe from texas stating tbat I needed the dates and names on the back of the photos and also I turned in affidavits of supporrt from my family!

wow thats to bad and odd... I did not date our photos nor did i include names of anyone.... My attorney said it was not needed... I was just approved in less then 4 mnths... No RFE

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC received case!!! I have a couple questions

 
Have you notified the embassy? You need to email them now and in subject line:Case# beneficiary's name
 
they will send you instructions on where to go to pay Visa fee and tell you how to download the forms you already did and go get police report and medical.
 
To get things done quicker you need to email them instead of them waiting to email you.




I just attempted to send an email to the Embassy however i got a message saying it failed.. Did i not send to correct email address? lagoslv@state.govforimmigrationvisas.. Is this correct? The (lv) is that a capital i ? Or a lower case L? I put a lower case L
Thank u :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC received case!!! I have a couple questions

She is a he.. Lol & i did do packet 3 already... Thank u for ur quick response... The medical however shuldnt b done a few days before as its a 3 day process and takes a couple weeks time to receive sum results if more things such as return immunizations r needed... I know the medical needs to b about 3 weeks out from interview but that was not my question.. I asked can he go do it now that we have our LGS# ? There may b more needed at medical that im missing.. ( ie. letter from Embassy, proof of interview date...ext.) just curious if we need more docs to move forward with medical & police...

Also, isnt 4 passport photos needed for medical? And how many for police clearance? This is Lagos, Nigeria Im speaking of.... Are passport photos required for POE? Just wanna get all at once needed for the rest of process up to the point he is here..

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports1-129f approved. Waiting for case number

No they are close today but instead of  calling   NVC on monday,  call Dept of State at 202-663-1225. NVC  hold  time is crazy, the  last time  I called I was on hold  for 25 minutes but  dept of state is  less than  3 minutes. Am sure  yours is already on its  way to Nigeria since you got approved on july 12.

ohh thank u :) so the Dept of State can give me my case # and confirm its been sent? Can they tell me the date NVC received my case as well?

I just called 1 week after approval n got arrival date & case #... It wasnt sent to Embassy at that point yet but they said it would b in about 5 business days... So my case is now in route to embassy :) b proactive in this whole process dont wait for them to come to u with info... Call as much as u need to

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMarch 2013 Filers K1
Wow, more n more Jan filers being approved last nite and this morning!!!! Its almost out turn guys!! :) i am so happy CSC is moving again!!!! At this rate some of us March Filers could b adjudicated in June!! And the rest in July!!! Lets keep praying!! Also, i read that the time of the year u file is a factor? Idk the validity of this, but from what i understood the 3-4 months before Christmas is the slowest, and then the 3-4 months after Christmas is when speed picks up. I was told Febuary is the best month to file but i couldnt get ours out that quickly so March it was! But hey, im thinking us March filers wont have an issue. Im praying anyways!! I feel so bad for the filers in July, aug, sept, oct & november that seemed to have been left behind :( i wish it was a more uniformed process! Predictions would b much easier also.. Any ways!! Im excited to see January officially being looked at.. Lets start seeing Feb filers!!! Whoo hoo!! Then its March!!!
