Hey everyone. Read up from the first page and saw something I will like to get clarity on. My fiancé’s family wants us to do traditional and a small church wedding (family members only) but no court wedding. We plan on applying for the k1, do we still stand a chance of being eligible for k1considering we are try to do a lowkey trad and church wedding? Thank you all!

YOU will need marriage certificate which they really respect court cert well enough in my OPINION

Hello,
Did anyone do their interview on the 11th of Jan and was approved by the interviewer and has gotten their passport or a message from dhl?

when you finally see your case is issued and printed, check the other site you made use of for tracking your documents. if it shows out for delivery,that means you will go to their office for pickup,they dont send it out to you. you have to go and pick it up yourself. I hope this help bro

I have been part of those people who is in the process of a spousal Visa which is the cr1 or ir1 as we call it this is how my own story goes I got married April 21th 2021 and my wife filled for me 1st June 2021 and we submitted the documents waiting for a review from the NVC we got a reply from them on the 16th of February 2022 that's they are missing documents which is one of the documents I submitted in particular my birth certificate was not the national population Commission birth certificates that I submitted at first so we resubmitted everything again back to them under a week or so. Then we waited again and on the 03rd of August 2022 we had from them that our documents is documentary qualified and we are expecting them to send our case to Lagos for interview. this is where the wait all started again we waited till 17 July 2023 that my appointment was scheduled to be held 25th September 2023. This gave me a room to do my medicals and to get every other document ready for the interview. Now on that very day of my interview they ask me lots of question to pictures and the lady ended up telling me that my wife did not meet up to the financial status that they require of her so I will need a cosponsor then I asked her that's I really don't know what's the cool sponsorship is all about but she told me that I should know where my wife and my lawyer are going to know about it so before leaving the place I asked her if my interview went well other than that hope every other thing is okay she said yes the only thing they want me to do is to get a co-sponsor and resend it to the Embassy again in Lagos but every other thing is okay. Now I was mentally down because it has been a long journey for me and all the time the effort and the waiting has been something that I have been waiting for to tackle but now it has all fall down the roadside. To cut the story short we resubmitted the co-sponsorship which is not easy to get but we did get someone who helped us out we resubmitted and we waited this time around we went to their site and we keep monitoring the documents and the procedure of how it is and God so kind on 29th of November 2023 my Visa was approved with a 10 years stay IR1 visa and printed. I received it and left Nigeria on 18th December 2023 and as I speak to you all now,today mark a month and a day for me in the state. I will keep in touch with all here for any info I can give you guys.

to add it all up,I and my wife have a very hug age gap,but the thing is that they will question you a lot about it but basically want to know if you truly know this person you are married to so well. if you have any questions you can send me a msg on WhatsApp on +234 902 038 3732 I will be glad to help. I wish you guys all the best ✌️

Hello,
Pls are u given only ONE piece of filled paper and a CD of your XRay when you collect your medicals?
With a small note attached.

Also, the medical report (the paper) isn’t sealed

.

they automatically send your examination to the embassy so no worries. the one they gave you is yours to take to the state,that's like a starting point for your doctor when you get there.

Hello Everyone. Please I have an issue with my K1 visa application. My name is shown Emmanuel on my birth certificate but I have used and been called Emma ever since I gained consciousness to the extent that I started writing it in my books and all my school documents have Emma. Now when I was applying for passport, my birth certificate wasn’t with me so I had to get an NPC certificate and on there, I wrote Emma. Please, what can I do to correct this? As my passport has Emma but my birth certificate shows Emmanuel. Can I get a new birth certificate from NPC showing Emma? Will that work in the embassy?

this you shouldn't worry about,as you can get NPC with the name you want,since your passport is the same as Emma,you don't have no issues. just go there and tell them you want to get a birth certificate and tell them the name you want to use. no tell dem say you being do mistake if not your pocket go tell you 🧏

what does this sentence mean to you?

" This applies to IR/CR also searching for dates. availability can not be guaranteed considering peeps may have taken it before you look. "



the bolded does not make sense with the issue at hand.




you made a statement , you didn't ask a question for clarification. Hence, i asked you to read and comprehend before jumping on my response to someone else to see the context of my response. I have no reason to be disrespectful or talking to you as my school student as you have stated.

If you had read the statement and comprehended to whom i responded, I addressed the K1 applicant looking for dates. Then i stated it applies to IR/CR searching for dates because dates was available to that category as well (It's well known by most candidates of this class that nvc/embassy set the dates.) IR/CR candidate who search for dates in this category probably expedited their case or missed appointment.Hence they look for dates.

I guess it's my fault responding to the man/woman asking for help.

its never your fault to answer anyone as we all here are trying to find a way out that's the main reason to be here. but anyway it is what it is

aestake:

IR and CR are the main roots. IR1 and CR1 are the main applicants while IR2 and CR2 are the beneficiaries. These applications' interviews are scheduled by the NVC through the embassy while K1s are done by the applicants. He put both on the same line and said what I don't know. Nigerians would say both eggs are big but the other one is small.

well explained 👏🏼 this is how one will be more enlightened. not one saying you should read and comprehend. that sound so disrespectful to me honestly

aestake:

You were right.

probably don't think so, as the other guy said, I should read and comprehend before engaging in conversation, so I guess I didn't read his statement where he said CR/IR,I thought he mean CR1/IR1 so I guess he might be right if the K1 is done that way and not the way CR1 is done. but he need to let me know tho since he knows more of what he is saying than ranting as if am his school student 😂😂😂

Mandem101:

read, comprehend before engaging in a conversation. Shalom!

OK thanks.

OK thanks

Mandem101:

check now seem they opened up some dates this morning. it may be all snatched before the end of day. grab your copy now

This applies to IR/CR also searching for dates. availability can not be guaranteed considering peeps may have taken it before you look.

IR1/CR1 is basically given a date of interview automatically by the embassy

InvestorTeeMan:

This is not new at all, some times 221g takes weeks, months and in some cases it could be take a long time depending on when the embassy completes their investigation or get what they’re looking for. The longest have seen so far is a couple of months. So relax you will hear from them real soon as long as all the required documents you submitted are genuine your visa will be approved and issued.

thanks

Hi guys I am following this thread very much and I get to understand that it is all about K1 visa but mine is CR1 one and it is much similar to what is going on in this process. I really have a question I don't know if anyone is in my shoes as I went for my interview last month Sept 25 and I was given a letter 221(g) additional documents (cosponsor and divorce degree (I was having the divorce degree with me on the day of my interview anyway but they didn't ask of it even when I told the VO that I was with it,she said she only want to have a conversation with me not paper work) which I submitted back to them, now my question is,has anyone been in same shoes and later got the visa and how long did it take for that. as am really confuse at this point if anyone is in my shoes and have scale through, pls DM on WhatsApp +234 902 038 3732
