But apearantly MUCH faster! If the packet is not at the consulate before
Friday he is probably going to come home to recover and try to find a job
that will pay enough to finance this extra travel. He is tired of the
string of false promises given by all involved. Before starting the process
he was told by USCIS that they would both be home in 60 - 90 days. NOT!!!!!
He went to the consulate and had to stand outside the entire day and didn't
get in at all!!! So much for his rights as a citizen. All he got was a
severe sunburn. He was advised to file for the K3/I129F and was told AGAIN
60-90 days. This was registered on July 7. It is still FAR from even being
started! He was told that once Nebraska was finished with the case it would
only be another 14 day sor so. NOT!!!!!!! If they are LUCKY they will be
able to get the packet of forms by this Friday and then they will STILL have
to wait the promised (but not expected) 2-4 months before teh consulate
decides to take up the case. With the previous experience with the Lagos
consulate, they will not belive the timeframe until they get an interview
appointment set. They promise that the visa will be issued the day after
the interview. We will believe it when we see it! American citizens have
NO rights at that consulate! This WHOLE process punishes US citizens! He
has had to endure almost constant bouts with diarrea (yes, they are boiling
the drinking water and the wash water). He doesn't trust the livestock at
the market since they are feeding near the open sewers. His food often has
ants in it. He is 5'10" tall and is now under 100 lbs. When they were
staying with her relatives at Port Harcourt it was unsafe for him to be out
of the concrete, razor-wire topped walls of the compound and they had riots
going on outside. He has lost his job because he has been gone longer than
his leave of absence allowed, based on the info from USCIS timeframe. All
this time her father has the right to annul the marriage, a more likely
situation if he leaves. Needless to say, we are NOT impressed with the
abuse that we have all endured by the ceasless false information we have
been receiving from USCIS.
