select500: I did absentee introduction with my fiance not around.... I have the photobook of the ceremony with me and part of the pictures were used by my fiancee to file for the k1... Does that mean I shouldn't show them the photobook of the introduction? |

nextlevel2222: Honestly I can’t say, was it a simple or a large one? I will leave this for the others to chip in their advice. |
Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by select500: 5:16pm On Jan 17, 2019 |
nextlevel2222: I don't think it is advisable to show them your introduction pictures. I think that automatically qualifies as an official ceremony. And you should not be "married" in any way as at now, since you are filing for a K-1 Visa. (such pictures are better for a Spousal Visa). Just show them your pictures together at different locations. Avoid pictures where you are also dressed in the same attire. Cheers! 1 Like |

nextlevel2222:Not advisable. I've read of cases were the application was denied because of this. Although the denial/non-approval could be appealed but that's another long process. |

abekeade1:$265. That should be N95400 or a bit more. |

jamoyakz: go to the state CID of the state where you have resided in the past one year. |
Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by LegitBachelor: 6:49pm On Jan 17, 2019 |
Baahubali:Yeah. I did that too. But I noticed that the D160 form number on my profile when I did that was the one I used for my Visit Visa Application and I couldn't change it on my own. Had to mail the traveldocs guys to change it for me. |
Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by Baahubali: 8:22pm On Jan 17, 2019 |
LegitBachelor: can one pay for visa without getting a case number from NVC? if yes,what then is the purpose of the case number? or at what stage of the visa journey does one use it? |
Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by Baahubali: 8:27pm On Jan 17, 2019 |
LegitBachelor: did they change that after you had completed the appointment booking? where you sent a new appointment confirmation after the change? |

select500:We dnt have pictures at different location... I only have 4 pictures with him when he came to my church before we did the introduction. The introduction I did, he was not around, it is only his family that came... He was not present. We only put his photograph on the chair beside me |
Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by nextlevel2222: 9:37pm On Jan 17, 2019 |
Drenimarcus: Large one but my fiancee was not around, only his family were present. We only put his photograph beside me. Will they still count that as Marriage with him not present? |
Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by Drenimarcus(m): 9:51pm On Jan 17, 2019 |
nextlevel2222: Yes, the embassy will think you guys are “too married”. But with him not present could sway things in your favor. Just pray. |

Hello Everyone, Please guys I need your urgent help!. I have a girlfriend (US citizen) in the states and she's visited me in Nigeria for 3 weeks in November 2018. This is actually our first meeting and we got engaged. After that she returns to back to States. I don't know if easy for her file for fiancee visa or i should file from Nigeria. Please what should be our next step. Please guys advice me. Thanks. |
Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by nextlevel2222: 10:34pm On Jan 17, 2019 |
Drenimarcus: If they think like that I dnt what to do tell them. Se they dnt know that in Nigeria we have engagement ceremony and Marriage ceremony. How can someone marry without spouse present? More so, the introduction pictures is what my fiancee used to file for the petition over there. Thats part of what he use to show bona-fide relationship between us for the petition and it was approved. Going to interview without the pictures of the introdution my fiancee used during the filing of the petition will look somehow? What do you think? |
Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by Drenimarcus(m): 10:49pm On Jan 17, 2019 |
nextlevel2222: Yes these embassies know all the cultures of each country they are in. You can’t blame them, some people try to beat the system by getting married and then filing for K1 to get their respective spouses faster. Like I said, him not being present could sway things to your favor because he is not present. Just tell them it’s an engagement ceremony. And pray sister. I wish good luck but he rest assured, you got this. 2 Likes |

LegitBachelor:bro has the shut down affected visa application in any way? |
Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by Beautyaddy: 12:43am On Jan 18, 2019 |
nextlevel2222: Hmmm, out of curiosity, why wasn't he present for the introduction? The visa officers are pretty much aware of most if not all the different type of ceremonies of family introductions that don't mean getting married taking place in Nigeria. |
Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by djfrancis: 12:46am On Jan 18, 2019 |
Baahubali: yes you can because you can use your WAC number to fill the DS-160 but it is not advisable to as it portrays desperation. The case number indicates your case is at the embassy in a file |
Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by djfrancis: 12:51am On Jan 18, 2019 |
nextlevel2222: first off, you don't even need an introduction to do a K1. The absence of your fiance will lead to more questions. Take pictures of both of you as well as family and friends if you have. Take a lot of chats and calls, his travel itinerary when he came to naija, the stamp in his passport and the data page. Try as much as possible not to mention anything about the intro 2 Likes |
Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by Beautyaddy: 12:59am On Jan 18, 2019 |
djfrancis: And why is that? I know of family member who did introductions of getting the in-laws to meet and that still did not affect her K1 visa approval. In fact, it gave the relationship a boost by convicing the visa officer that the relationship was genuine. |
Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by djfrancis: 1:20am On Jan 18, 2019 |
nkel08: she has to file from the US. |
Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by djfrancis: 1:23am On Jan 18, 2019 |
Beautyaddy: i also had introduction but my fiancee was present. why i said that is to avoid the idea by the consular that it was an arranged event. Those guys can be crazy sometimes. It can also work in her favour if she is able to explain the reason for his absence and that no dowry was paid Sometimes, no questions may be asked. it all depends on God and the mood of the consular officer 1 Like |
