MRSDURU got a reaction from CJO032418 in Does age and previous marriage matter?
As a us citizen who is married to a Nigerian and been through the process. .. i highly advise you to go for spousal visa and not your finance visa. Your odds are better. I been married to my husband 5 yrs now, i married him on first visit that i stayed a month. .came back to USA for 4 months and returned until we left together in feb 2016. We are of the same age, have two children together, in lived in naija for almost 2yrs with him and we still went through hell n back to finally end the process. Naija is a high alert country n you can thank your bros for that for marrying women the age to be grandma lol... we filed i130 ourselves, used attorney for visa part, n everything else we did ourselves. She deff needs to come more n longer stays, lots of pics, start saving cards ya'll give each other, print pics, pics with family n friends, get her traditional wears done n pics showing her embracing your culture. .. but if any advice i give do not go for k1 n waste that time. ..9/10 it will be denied based on country alone. N ppl don't know what they are talking about.. they can deny based on age if they feel is fraud relationship n do not have to explain reasoning why they made decision. Good luck n prayers sent my brother

I'd suggest going the CR-1 (spousal) visa route over the K-1. The extra time together (to marry) would help, but the CR-1 process allows you to at least challenge a refusal and get the petition reaffirmed. With the K-1 route, if denied then you will be waiting extra weeks or months anyway to get a formal refusal, and months longer if you wait for the petition to be sent back and expire.
The CR-1 is superior here in nearly every way, and may end up being faster from start to visa in hand anyway. If not, it's only a couple months longer and still has all the extra benefits (can work & travel abroad right away, cheaper, green card upon arrival, etc.).
Just a suggestion...I really think that's a much better route in this case.

I hope you have beat your cancer and stay cancer free, you defiantly dont need extra stress from this. Thru this whole process i wanted to just call and tell them to come live with us for 24 hrs lol.... incompletely understand about your concern for schooling and being raised here. I agree 110%. Dont worry you got this

Trust me whAt you have listed is enough. If you go back to around march 12 post you will see my packet i returned to the RFE (long story short. We have never filed taxes together and i was super worried) I sent mine to their physical street address instead of the po box the got it on the 14th my status was updated at 430 reflecting that and was approved on the 20th less than 4 business days

Just wait and see what the notice says. It could be something simple they are asking for. Dont get to stressed. The notice will specifically tell you what they need Everything will be ok

Today I received my GC. Thank you so much to everyone who has been with me through this journey, through my K1, then AOS and now ROC which has taken the longest! Now on to Citizenship which I plan to apply for next year. I am a bit done with paperwork at the moment and I am
not sure what all I need for it, so I would rather not deal with it now! VJ has been amazing and I am sure I will be using it again very soon for the next step

Perfectly normal to still be waiting. They are backlogged beyond belief.

They are very backlogged with ROC lately. Being transferred from CA to TX service center just mean the split the load sometimes.
Do you follow the group for when you sent in your ROC so you can see where other people are who filed the same time as you? Might be good for you to do that.
Remember he can also file for his citizenship 90 days before his 3 year GC anniversary even though the ROC has not been approved yet.
