Hello, I am new to visajourney and would like to thank you in advance for help on this question. I am an American citizen, who met my fiance' online almost a year ago. He is a Nigerian man who has lived in the UK (London) for 16 years. He left Nigeria to attend university in UK.

I have gone to visit him this year and will go again in January. We will become officially engaged when I go then. Our question is "Do we file the K1 Fiance visa from the standpoint of him being Nigerian, and thus apply via the Nigerian embassy. Or do we apply from the standpoint of him being a British Nigerian, and apply via the London embassy. This is so confusing to me. He is still in London on student/employee visa (excuse me if I am not using the vocab correctly).

Please help me. I have researched many places on the www and cannot find an answer to this question.

That is a really good question, you may need to do this through Nigeria. I would call the State department and find out. You finance would interview at the US Embassy, but i thought it was in his country of origin.

I would love to know the answer to the question. Please keep us apprised

where ever you marry is where u go fo interview.. But sounds like u in for long process.. Also when doing polic report he will need one form nigeria and uk most likey.. which doe he call his home?? you can marry do K3 takes about year give or take.. Cr1 2 years or fin. visa.. shorter but more involved

The visa is processed in the consulate of the nation of the beneficiaries current legal residence.

If they apply for K-1 they wouldn't be married.

Hello and thank you for your information. However, I posted the question over 5 months ago and have since gained all of the information needed. I really appreciate your response.
