Hello House,

I wanna say a big thank you to everyone here especially the OGs for all your advice to the prospective. In fact, I got the UStraveldocs number on here when I realized that my DS160 number wasn't showing on my appointment form. I am gonna make my story very detailed for even better understanding;

PREPARATION
I went prepared, prayed and left the rest for God. I practiced all the questions I saw everywhere. lol
1. https://citizenpath.com/k-1-fiance-visa-interview-questions/
2. https://rapidvisa.com/fiance-visa-interview/
3. https://www.immi-usa.com/k1-visa-interview-questions/
4. questions from transcripts shared on here

I probably rehearsed every single question more than a zillion times with my fiance and sister. You probably don't need to do this much but I did.

DOCUMENTS
I got one of those folders with spaces inside at Prince Ebeano for about 1,700k and labeled each space for easier find just incase I got nervous and forgot where i kept each.
1. Birth certificate: I ended up going with the two (old small one and the long version) coz there was debate here about it. PS. they took only the old one. You probably would need the long one during AOS.
2. NIM No: Nobody asked for this. LOL
3. International Passport and copies
4. Appointment letter: MUST HAVE BOTH YOUR DS 160 CODE AND UID CODE. If you don't have it call them and they would fix it - +23412278955
5. Letter of intent (updated in January) Although they didn't ask for this but i had mine and my babe's. We basically just changed the date.
6. W2
7. TAX transcripts
8. Pay stubs for the last 6 months
9. Babe's letter of employment
10. Affidavit of support

I did all these and they asked for the pictures, birth certificate, affidavit of support. But its good to have them handy just in case. Finally, i had a scrab book. It had a cover page of my Fiance and I and i
1. Cover page - Image of my fiance and i
2. Table of Content
3. About us
3. How we met
4. Chats: Whatsapp, Text, and emails (I took screenshots) Please make sure the contact details page screenshot comes first so they know who is ' my heartbeat' or whatever dearing you name you saved your fiance's name as.
5. Video chats screenshots
6. Pictures - please label them with where, what was happening and date if you can remember
7. I was planning a surprise party for when he comes in next month, i took screenshots of my conversation with the party committee - the interviewer seemed even interested in this.
8. Add anything you can think of - just in case.

INTERVIEW
I lodged at Beni Gold. Paid 18K for the night. Horrible reception by the way. The bed was super hard and there were mosquitoes but anyways, i didnt care as long as i was able to achieve what i came for. Its literally 5 mins away from the consulate. So please make sure to stay close to the interview location. There is another lodge my friend stayed at - Mariah's Lodge. Its more affordable - 10K.

I got to hotel after work at 8:30pm. Checked in. Prayed and rehearsed with my sister and finace again for hours. Finally slept and woke up at 5am. I got there at 6:30am. There was already a queue.

When you get to the location, an officer will scan you or check you and direct you to where to queue which is like 1-2 mins walk. At the queue, it was divided to NIV and IV. At that point, before you join the queue, youd be search and scanned again. An officer then comes in to tell you what items are allowed and what items are not.

Another officer then allows people to pass through a small gate in 5s. Inside, theres another queue where your folders and bags are searched. Please make sure to unseal envelop. If not, youd be asked to go back and unseal it. Youd loose your position on the queue on go back to square 2. After being search, we IVs were directed to seat. A form was given to us (this would request your name, your address, your petitioners name, phone number). I think this is to for your collect your passprot. In 5s again, youd be directed into the main hall. Youd be scanned again. Finally, youd enter the hall. The IVs have a sessions where there are about 20 chairs to seat.

Youd be required to bring your birth certificate, passport - 2 pieces, appointment letter, affifidavit of support and DS160 form. The photos your fiance submitted would be returned to you. Then the waiting starts. I was number 15.

INTERVIEW
I was interviewed by a handsome white huge man. Scary looking to say the least. I was asked to raise my right hand to take the oath. Biometrics were taken as signature to the oaths.
1. Who is petitioning for you
2. How did you meet him
3. When did you start dating? 5 years, he then asked how that has worked out?
4. How did he propose to you? After saying my story, he finally smiled.
5. He requested for the pictures; I gave him my scrab book. He skimmed through everything and he asked Is this surprise party in motion?
6. He then asked who Joy was? At that point, I was like who then hell is Joy in my mind, after a few secs, i remembered, Joy is my fiance's mother's name. So in response, I mentioned her full name so he'd know I actually knew her. LOL. LESSON: Make sure you know everybody in his family.
7. How did your finance become a citizen? when I answered, he said No, his mother filed for him. I responded that No, it was through ___ and the mother's application has been in the process for two years now. When i noticed his face change, I kept quiet and said no more. It was at this he stood up to meet his colleagues.

Not smiling, he stood up and asked me to give him a few minutes. He wait to meet a colleague and felt he was discussing my case. At that moment i was now nervous and panicking. After what seemed like forever, he came back, tyoed for a bit and stood up again and asked that i gave him some minutes. Left for a few minutes and came back. I started praying that God should intervene. And God did.

Next thing he said was, I will approve your visa and it would be ready in two weeks. I was given a pick up paper and a domestic something something paper.

I was so happy and glad it went well.

ADDITIONAL INFO
if you have a supporting sponsor for affividat of support, make sure you know who they are and have then write a letter, stating their relationship with you ro your fiance and why they are sponsoring you. VERY IMPORTANT. Many were turned back because of this.

I have made my transcript very detailed because I noticed people just come and say the questions they asked and move on. Before my interview, I was frustrated because i felt, i didn't have enough info and my questions were ignored here.

Anyways, Goodluck to everyone. I hope this was very helpful. On to the next phase. Please how do we go about it?

Hahahaha. No good news sirs and ma's I was rejected. Hahaha. Under the section 212(a)(5)(A)

212(A)(5)(A) INADMISSIBILITY DUE TO LABOR CERTIFICATION

```Labor certification (not to be confused with the Labor Condition Application - LCA) is a United States of America immigration process step. Its stated goal is to "protect U.S. workers and the U.S. labor market by ensuring that foreign workers seeking immigrant visa classifications are not displacing equally qualified U.S. workers".[1]```


The consular officer saw on my DSform that I'm a graduate of psychology and the year of graduation was stated. So he maybe felt its a coincidence that I'm getting out of the university and entering the United States on the basis of marriage. Most skilled workers are denied visa application that are not centered on working visa's. They feel it's a sham.

However, myself and fiancé wants to appeal on IMMIGRANT WAIVER Section 212(k) provide for a waiver where the foreign national is able to demonstrate that he or she did not know and could not have known a labor certification was required and otherwise holds a valid immigrant visa.

So sorry... But what does this even mean? I dont understand. Are they allowed to do that?
