Hi everyone! I am fairly new to this site and have been reading and reading post after post and fumbling my way through this site. I hope I am posting this in the correct place ~ forgive me if I'm not. I am traveling to Nigeria in November to marry my beloved. He is living on the Ivory Coast at this time but will meet me in Lagos when I go. I am wondering if some of you who have married in Nigeria could help us with information on what we need in order to marry while I am there. What I have to take with me (documentation)? What he needs to have with him? What's the process like? Any help from any of you seasoned VJer's would be most appreciated ...

Thanks and GOD Bless!

Erica

Thank you ... I feel stupid but how do I do that?? I see you did the K1 visa ~ we are actually still trying to figure out which way would be best in getting him here. Any thoughts on that?
