Hello bro, I am profoundly grateful for your prompt and clear response. I have made several attempts to contact the USA Embassy in Lagos, but regrettably, I have not been able to reach anyone there. However, a contact within the consular office suggested that I consider rerouting the interview to Germany. Could you kindly provide guidance on how to initiate this rerouting process? Your insights on this matter would be invaluable to me.

Furthermore, I have a query regarding my birth certificate, which has recently been laminated by my thoughtful mother. Is this laminated certificate still considered a legal document for my visa application? Your expert advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you once again for your kindness and assistance.

Warm regards,

Why wait till this time before thinking of transferring to Germany, this is what you should have done easily immediately after your case was approved.

First I will call US embassy in Nigeria to ask if the case can be transferred to Germany, explain my situation, ask for procedure and how long it would take coz of the approval validity of which you need a date before it expires.

1. Rerouting cases to a different country dont take a lot of months like you’re projecting it to be sighting the approval window of 4 months. Reach out to the embassy, ask questions.

2. Forget what you heard each cases are different, if everything looks good at your end and your fiancé and no noticeable lies/contradictions/misrepresentation/red flags your K1 will be cool and smooth.

Well, I won’t go to Nigeria for the interview if I’m doing well and have a legitimate status in Germany, rather I will transfer coz not all cases get approved, the ones that don’t get approved are cases that have errors that could have been prevented or corrected before the interview stage. So if you want to come to naija make sure everything is good and ur status in Germany is legit then you should be good.

Dear All,

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to seek some heartfelt advice from this wonderful community. I am a Nigerian citizen currently residing in Germany, and I find myself in a rather complex situation.

Last year, my fiancé and I applied for a fiancé visa due to the unfortunate events in Ukraine, where I am currently in my final year of medical school, studying online. To make a long story short, we received approval from the USCIS in June, and just last week, we were informed that the NVC has forwarded my petition to the Consular in Lagos, Nigeria.

However, there's a significant challenge I am facing. Traveling to Nigeria is not a straightforward option for me because my current permit from the German government does not allow me to re-enter Germany. Additionally, our legal counsel has advised us that it might take an indefinite amount of time to retransfer the application to Germany. Frankly, I'm quite apprehensive about traveling to Nigeria at this moment, as I left the country years ago on a study visa to Ukraine, only to be faced with the turmoil caused by the war.

So, I am reaching out to you all with the following questions:

1. Would you recommend that I wait for the retransfer of the documents to Germany, even though it might take several months?

2. Alternatively, should I take the risk and go to Nigeria, putting my trust in God for the best outcome? I've heard various opinions and concerns regarding the Consular in Lagos.

Furthermore, if there are any active WhatsApp groups discussing similar matters, I would greatly appreciate being added. You can reach me at +49 160 924 91815.

Thank you all for your understanding and support. Your advice means a lot to me in this challenging time.

Warm regards,
Pastor Jacobs.
