You won't be able to apply for a fiance visa AFTER marriage. You'll be needing a spouse visa

August 2000: We start e-mailing. I'm in Bosnia, she's in Florida

October 29th 2000: She sends me e-mail asking if I would marry her

October 29th 2000(5 seconds later): I say yes

November 2000: She sends me tickets to Orlando for when I get back

December 6th 2000: Return from Bos

December 11th 2000: Fly to Orlando, she meets me at airport

December 22nd 2000: I fly back to UK

January 3rd 2001: She flies to UK (Good times)

Mid February 2001: Pregnancy test Positive

Mid February 2001: She flies back to US

March 2001: Miscarriage, I fly to US on first flight I can get

May 2001: I leave US before my 90 days are up

June 2001: I fly back to US, stopped at airport for questioning as I had only just left

September 2001: Pregnancy test Positive again

September 2001: She falls sick, I make decision to stay to look after her as I am afraid I may have problems getting back in.

April 16th 2002: Our son is born, we start getting stuff together for his passport

March 6th 2003: We leave US for UK as family

Early April 2003: Family troubles make her return to US, I ask Embassy in London about possibilities of returning to US

April 16th 2003: London Embassy informs me that I will be banned from the Visa Waiver Program for 10 years, my little boys first birthday

June 13th 2006: I-129f sent

You can start a fiancee road now before marriage and then get marriage in USA or get married in Nigeria or Dubai and then start CR1 process - if you want to move to her.

make more research about these two kinds of visas , Read more forum.. and then decide what is the best for you guys :)

Speaking from experience, STAY IN THE UAE! much better chances of an approval. Also, you cannot file for a K-1 after you are married. Automatic Denial. lastly, you two need to have met in the last two years prior to filing.

Perl above is correct!

Thanks.. Yea we knw each others for 2yrs but she is only coming next year August and i will apply for K-1 after we engaged not after married.. Or what do u think i can do .

Sorry buddy it is not what we think you can do. It is what you and your girlfriend think is the best route for both of you. Each routes have advantages and disavantages.

We can tell you what we know about each routes but we are not going to tell you what to do. Each countries are different and each of our cases are similar and yet also different.

my thoughts to you is to talk with other Nigerians espcially those that filed outside of Nigeria, Talk with them about what path they took and if it turned out to be the best route or not. Nigeria consulate is tough customer and it is a must to do research to make your case more postive. If anything, if you are allow to file in UAE- probably better to do it.

What I know is that it does help to have your girlfriend with you in UAE. It make it more solid about your relationship truly real. Be sure to leave Strong paper trail so it make it easy for the consulate to believe that your relationship is real.

I wish you a good luck and enjoy getting some sun in UAE while where I am is a snow storm outside and 10 degrees.

In my opinion and to answer your question. You should marry in Nigeria. Why? Because no matter which consulate you're interview is held at, you're still scrutinized more because of your nationality. It looks better if your marriage has taken place around your family. It appears bonafide. Pics of your future wife with your family, shows they approve of the marriage. Also u mentioned wanting to file a fiancé visa after marriage. I can.only assume that you meant a K3. In that case you would file,the I-130 first, receive your NOA1. Then mail in your I-129(K3) with the,CR1's NOA1. Hope this helps.
