Okay Hi everyone.. Thanks to all those who answered my question and calmed my worries about me and my fiancé meeting on a dating site and that it is no big deal

Now this isn’t about me or my fiancé but a friend I met on the K1 visa group on Facebook. She isn’t on Visajourney yet and she asked me to ask this question and send the answers to her.

 

She is from Nigeria too and her fiancé is 15 years older than she is and he has three kids. They didn’t deny the kids in their Application and they are still expecting their NOA2 but she is so scared especially because of the reviews we read about the Lagos Embassy.

He’s been here two times and hopefully she says he would be here two other times before their interview, that makes 4 visits and he will bring the eldest along with him on one of those visits so she could meet her and have pictures.

 

For their Application, she sent pictures of him with her family and friends. I hope that counts.

Does anyone have success story about a similar case?

It is usually a good idea for the person with the questions to sign up here on VJ and ask questions themselves.....

It is not a must she registers. I suggested that to her and she said she just needs to know if anyone has been approved with a similar case. Thanks

Any time information passes through a person, something is lost......It is recommended that people ask questions themselves..

Well I have been on this forum a very long time and have not seen a similar case.

Not everyone has internet access or a PC, or even electricity.  So I'd be a little more cautious before make this kind of statement.

 

For OP:

 

A large age gap can be a sign of marriage fraud, but there are other, mitigating circumstances.  Frequent visits (documented with tickets/photos) is a good thing.  Does the sponsor have enough income/assets to support a wife and 3 kids (if they are under 18)??  Do they speak a common language?  If asked specific questions about her fiancee can she answer them?  Like what's his job?  Name of the kids?  Birthday?

 

Google Stokes Interview for the types of questions she should be prepared to answer.  Some won't apply (like she has never seen his house, etc).

A USC on a facebook group has at least 2 of those.

I FULLY stand by my statement.  It is always better for the individual with questions to ask themselves if possible.  That's why I said USUALLY......are there exceptions? Of course,...but  this particular case isn't an exception, imo.
