  1. 5 year age gap, us citizen through military service, green card initially through parent. Never married at all.
  2. Thank you so much for this elaborate details. This was my concern as well. Thanks for confirming. Thank you
  3. Great. Was in Nigeria 3 times last year for 3 weeks each time and I also have proof of 4 to 7 hour long phone calls daily, plus I'm now in Nigeria again. Hopefully that helps them. I'm big on having complete and thorough documents and evidence so this will definitely not be an issue.
  4. Hi, all. I am currently in Nigeria to legally wed my fiance and I will be returning to the US to do a spousal visa. I chose this method because from my understand, it seemed preferable based on our plans. The fiance visa, while supposedly faster, from my understand, involves first getting a K1 visa and then traveling, getting married there within 90 days of arrival, and then applying for a change of status and green card. I also understand the fiance visa can take several months just like the IR spousal visa, but on top of that requires waiting for green card after already arriving at the US. I don't want my wife to have to wait after having already waited and I also hear that there's a higher chance of denial with the fiance visa compared to the spousal one. So this is my rationale. I was asked by a relative who is also looking into this process, which would be better. She is going the K1 route but I said I'd do some research and confirm. So, I am posting this to ask for advice or speculation regarding this, but also to ask what one can expect nowadays as far as processing times and other expectations. I am looking forward to starting this journey so I will be submitting the forms and documents the minute I get back to the US. Thank you.
  5. I don't think you know anything about Nigeria, and I also don't think you read the title or first post
  6. Sorry I'm expressing my frustration. Some of you seem more upset at my question than you are about the uscis. Sorry if I came across as insensitive. I hope things work out for everyone soon.
  7. This is insane. Why are they collecting such huge fees from people without making efforts to improve their processes and shorten the timelines???
  8. Hopefully this isn't every case because that's insane and we can't afford to wait that long. I don't know if citizenship or immigration filing history would matter. This is madness.
  9. Yes, I've met and I've spent time here with her. Visited twice already and will visit a 3rd time before the wedding but have known for years.
  10. Hi, all, I'm a US citizen with veteran status (not sure if it matters), and I will be getting married this year. I plan to do a court wedding with my fiance in October and I would like to file a I-130 immediately, to begin her process coming to the US. But I also want to get her a touring visa immediately after we get the marriage certificate in October because I'd like for her to visit the US and see if she'd like it, and to check out the schools and work opportunities to be prepared. I also want her to start getting some digital certifications while we wait for her permanent residence visa to process. However, my question is, would we be able to request for her biometric and medical appointments to be done in the US? We know the interview would have to be done in Nigeria, but is it possible to schedule biometrics and medical in the US so she doesn't have to come back to Nigeria for them while using her tourist visa? Also, if anyone from Nigeria has undergone the same process, I'm curious about your timelines and process and speed. Thanks.
  11. Hi, yes, he got his in March. Please call the USCIS and when you get their stupid voice system, say "Appointment", it'll ask you for what, just say ceremony. Then when you get someone, tell them you'd like to speak to a level two officer and explain to them your situation. They'll likely put you on a call back list and you'll get a call later that day or the next day When you get the level two person, explain everything to them and ask them what's going on and tell them how long you've been waiting. Ask them to investigate the status of the case and give you an update. How long ago did you file and when was the last activity?
