Divorce in Mississippi and make sure you also pull the I-130. Once divorce final, send her the final divorce decree so she can handle Nigeria side of things in case she wants to marry someone else in the future. 

You can request, but when the financial loss is because of your failure to file or failure to do your research, expect a no.  Costs nothing to try.

Hi all, 
I have read and read until I can not read anymore, so I need your advice please. Quick recap, married my American husband in September 2023, I have been back and forwards to the states over the past 2 years, staying 6 months at a time. My husband brought us a house in 2021, while I was there I started renovations, decorating, ripping old bathrooms outs, nothing major. After we got married, a few months later we returned to the UK for our honeymoon and it was at this point that we decided that we would apply for my green card and that I would remain in the UK while this process took place. He left and before we knew it it was February. We were extremely naive about this whole process and honestly hadn't really looked into all that in entailed, he filed the I-130 in February. While I was living there I was obviously helping pay bills, now I am back in the Uk, I have my own bills, but without me helping towards the mortgage he now risks losing the house. This was supposed to be our forever home and I am devastated. We thought the process of the green card would take like 3-4 months, I know, please do not come at me, neither of us have been in this situation before so yes were were very, very blind to it all! Would the risk of losing the house be enough to expedite the process. My husband has a great job and earns enough to support me, but not if he has to cover the mortgage and bills all alone. (Not that I would ever expect him to keep me) I send what I can but living separately, obviously means twice the bills now. I m so worried and just want to be back there to support my husband but is this reason enough to expedite the case?

Administrative processing is something that involves several agencies from what I have seen reported here. You try to do mandamus, they can come back and say not sufficient time to complete the checks, visa refused.  So think hard if and when you want to try that process for administrative processing. 
 
And BTW, he received approval of O-1 petition, not visa - visa is a consular process, petition is USCIS process.

You should be fine with a copy of the BC, or a copy of the passport bio page, and more than likely no one will ask to see them.
 
Good Luck!

You're starting in a hole:
 
https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-7-part-b-chapter-7
 
A noncitizen admitted as a nonimmigrant without a visa under a Visa Waiver Program is barred from adjustment of status.
 
But keep reading.  I'm sure there are examples here of people who have worked around this.
 
And you want to remember that "...we don't want to be separated again..." isn't a valid excuse to bypass the rules.  There are a *lot* of people here who are separated from their loved ones.  It's the mechanism in place.
 
Regards,
Vicky's Mom

Delay submissions to NVC until you're within 5-6 months out from finalizing the 2-yr requirement. They will not issue an immigrant visa until 2-yr HRR has been completed.

No issues.

Wait, you're planning to lie about visiting for only 2 weeks then turn around and stay for 5-6 months, lying that you have a job (which you're going to quit before you depart) and you're wondering what? What could possibly go wrong ...

You were rightly denied entry because you were de facto trying to live in the US on a nonimmigrant status.  Going forward, you should plan to use the entry privilege more like a proper tourist, for reasonable periods of time.

DCF through emergent need to return to the US and take up a position? In which case, you better not have filed online I-130 as that will disqualify you from DCF.
