Walspring:


If I may ask will you pay for this service?

cutelass:


I noticed you wrote “Partner” Are you both married? Cos F2 is husband/wife of F1 and unmarried children below 21.

Debbiey:
Good morning all.

Please I need help. My interview is in about 7 working days time.

BunmiBie:


Thanks to God for his kindness and grace
All these happened in less than 2 minutes.

1. Fill your DS160 yourself, be as detailed as possible
2. Get your story straight, if your story doesn't sound believable to you, you won't be able to convince the VO.
3. Watch you-tube videos from ARGO VISA, this really helped a lot.
4. Lastly, PRAY.



Congratulations

TWoods:


1. The F1 spouse is likely covered by health insurance. Read this, call the insurance company and let them know of your birthing plans. They will advice you on what to do. You may even get a few things for free.

cutelass:


If they applied together, meaning on the cgi portal, they have only one profile, where F1 is principal applicant and F2 is added to profile as “Family Member”, then yes…every action affects both

If they applied together, meaning on the cgi portal,

MamaOO:

but be careful to make sure only the kids gets benefits.

UmmZayd:


Okay, although No. 2 is so out of the picture but the


Best of luck

UmmZayd:


If you will be married before interview, then you can state that in the DS160. Don't forget you can also update the form 72 hrs before interview so take your time.
Get the wedding album or some pictures just in case the VO ask for it. And he/she may ask if it's a love or arranged marriage. Most people go for arranged marriage. At first I didn't see the advantages of this but looking at it from another angle I see why most indians especially say arranged. If it's an arranged marriage then you both need the time to get to know each other.

UmmZayd:


Congratulations.
However, if it's possible to do the interview after wedding, it's better but if not, before wedding is good. Please make sure you have something tangible that will make you go to US and come back next 2weeks to take care of. That will serve as a good home ties

Best of luck.

Today is my interview and I was delayed.

Omotola222:
Please ooo someone should recommend a hotel that is not far from the abuja embassy and affordable. Pls

If you're applying together, they may likely not ask you anything. All the questions will be directed to him. In any case, it's always a red flag to tell the VO you're doing nothing. If however you're asked (or he is asked) why you're going with him, it should be that you'll be briefly there to help him settle down and also have your honeymoon together, then return to Nigeria to continue your compulsory NYSC program.

UmmZayd:


How long far apart? I mean what's the space between when you finish your service and the interview date? If it's up to a month or 2, still remain at your PPA till then (if it's convenient) or find a job that covers the gap. Anything just in case but I hope you just go to appear for the interview and not asked any questions if everything is good from the F1 side.

Best of luck

Lionize:


It may not be wrong but it may not add to anything.

gbarinze:
If you'll not be going for the interview with him, like you guys are not applying together...I'll advice you tell them that you're still serving and make sure you also have that fact covered in your DS-160.

UmmZayd:


Yes both of you should return together. It's better. If you're both applying together it's possible the VO doesn't even ask you any questions.

Best of luck

GAPPLE:
Good evening house.
Please I need your suggestions.
My fiance is in the US as a PhD student, he has left since two years plus ago for his MSc and just started PhD last year.

He is coming to Nigeria this year for our marriage and renewal of his F1 visa and to file for F2 visa for me.

My questions:
Should we go together for our visa interview?

How long should we wait after our marriage before we go for our interview?

Thank you all!
