Saw this on Visajourney so i thought i should share since it's a recurring issue here: Post by K1 beneficiary: Hello everyone, I recently booked my interview appointment at the US embassy in Lagos Nigeria on 16th October hoping to get an earlier date before my approved I-129f becomes invalid which is going to be December 5th, unfortunately, the earliest date I got happened to be December 18th which means my approved case would have become invalid by then. i wrote the embassy requesting for an expedite date or a validity extension and here is their reply... We advise you should attend your interview appointment as scheduled. During your interview, you should present documents/evidence to the Consular officer to show that you qualify and justify why the petition should be extended. In order to qualify for a K-1 visa, the beneficiary/applicant must convince the Consular officer that he or she has a bona fide spousal relationship with the petitioner. The decision to extend the validity of the petition will be at the discretion of the interviewing officer. However, if you are unprepared for this interview it is not likely the petition will be extended. So guys.....if your interview is outside your validity.....make sure you are prepared for the interview. Go with every or any document that will prove your case. Think outside the box. Go with primary and secondary evidence. You don't want them asking for a document and you having to tell them it is at home. Success to everyone. 1 Like |

Drenimarcus: So that's 2 people getting the same response. Maybe they have decided that this will be their default response now. |

Thank you @LegitBachelor and @Drenimarcus. During the interview stage I was asked for a financial sponsor which I provided even though my fiancee was earning way above the poverty guideline. Now that I am adjusting my status do I still need to include the sponsor in the i864. Thanks |
Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by Drenimarcus(m): 5:34am On Nov 07, 2019 |
mrversatile: Since you used the Co-sponsor at the interview stage, you can use them for aos but be aware they are gonna be on the hook till you become a citizen. If your wife is earning way above the PG, you can use her, worst would be an RFE. Gods speed. 1 Like |

LegitBachelor: I thought the same too,maybe they just decided to be crazy on that day,so in my case,I just went there the day before my medicals to see things for myself and cos I’m not familiar with Lagos,I wanted to know the place so I’m not looking for it the next day and when I got there in the evening,I asked the lady at the counter and she said and I quote ‘you have to book an appointment for your screening’ and I was like that’s not what I read online and she told me that the next available appointment is 10am tomorrow so I got there around after 9 and they asked me if I have an appointment and I asked them if it was necessary,they said yes, ‘we can’t screen you if you don’t have an appointment’ I just told them my name, they checked a paper and Asked me to take a sit. |

Hey guys, so it turns out my fiancée will be going on deployment come the 18th of this month, meanwhile our case is still at the NVC even after they said it has passed their administrative process. Now they encouraged my fiancée to call the embassy and explain the situation to them as she won’t be available to send me her paystubs for November and December, plus our case will expire on the 26th of January. My question is, is there a number i can call? Because we’ve sent an email over 5days ago and no response yet. @Legitbachelor @Sukey @Sharpman1 @drenimarcus and others i couldn’t mention.FYI pleasee |

Drenimarcus: Legit Bro, Please how is the adjustment of status documentation packaged? Do we have to fill and submit form I-765 along with the I-485 and other docs (affidavit of support and vaccination doc etc)? This is because i read that employment authorization card comes sometime during the wait period for green card and i read again that you can separately aaply for Employment authorization within the 90 days of landing....a bit confusing bro...please help throw more light... I didn't see this info on the link you said Drenimarcus posted, detailing the Adjustment of Status process.... |

I got a response from the Embassy today. Their response is smiliar to what sharpman posted. That their advise is that I should attend my interview as scheduled. During my interview, I have to present documents/evidence to the consular officer to show that I am qualified and justify for my petition to be extended. In order for me to qualify for K1 visa, I must convinced the CO that my relationship with my fiancee is a bona fide one. The decision for my petition to be extended be will be at the discretion of the CO That I must be prepared, if I am not prepared for the interview, is unlikely that the CO will extend the petition.. My people that's their response 1 Like |
