Without checking again, I think the instructions for the I-134 asks for income for the last year, mandatory and 2 additional years, optional. OP will make 30k this year so by tax time next year when the petition reaches the embassy, he will be above the poverty minimum. That and current paystubs should be more than sufficient to meet the requirement

Where did you send your application to? The Phoenix or Chicago dropbox or to the local USCIS office? See the link below for where to send your forms. FYI dropbox changes if you are filing multiple forms Just wondering, who is this application for? https://www.uscis.gov/i-130-addresses

It is easy to file to change your address but there have been one too many cases of USCIS not updating people's records. I would recommend you wait and file after you move You are required to reside in a state in a USCIS service district for at least 3 months before submitting your application. So if it is going to be the same service district, you should be able to file right after the move else you will have to wait 3 months.

you can transfer you case if the UK embassy will accept it else will have to complete the process in Nigeria

Congrats on acceptance to your MSC program. there are some unknown that you will have to think about. How far back are you in the backlog? how long is your MSC program? Will the embassy work faster to clear the backlog? If you are able to answer those questions then you will have your answer. Currently the last known IR1 visas scheduled is from about 16/17 months ago. Also I think that you should be able to "activate" your visa, leave for up to a year after applying for parole return to complete your MSC (not 100% certain, please confirm) You will also be able to change your embassy to UK, hopefully they have less of a backlog. There are multiple variables that can occur depending on how you proceed.

Bad idea, to leave the child behind. With the "covid" delays that has been built into the timeline, the child's visa will expire before she is able to travel

Even from high fraud countries, there are still people with integrity. That said, talk to him. Ask about the "shady things" that occurred. They might end up being differences that you don't understand due to your different backgrounds. If these are not clarified, you will have doubts for a long time that could eventually wreck your relationship. Lots of young Nigerians want to leave the country and some would do anything to get out. So trust your gut, make a decision and live with it. Don't make it in anger as some others have done. Getting married is supposed to be getting a partner for life, hopefully. Not for just the next couple years. So examine the facts and act.

Here we go again. Don't try to apply on the very first day you think you are eligible. There is nothing wrong with applying at minimum 2 plus days after you eligible date to avoid rejection

They messed up. They should fix it. He really does not want to use that passport. That is not his name and he will have a tough time using it

Nope. You will have to file the I-130 online. I would recommend you read up on it, get all the supporting documents together. That way, once you are married, you can submit your petition and save yourself a few days maybe weeks

You Filed 2020 tax. You have not yet gotten your refund and does not show the status online. This means that it is in a stack somewhere. Filing a 2nd one, calling or making visiting a local office is useless. None of them can do anything till someone gets to your submission. Take the copy of the 1040 and supporting documents that you have, sign it with an approximate date and submit with your ROC if your return has not been processed. the requirement is "tax transcript" or "1040 and supporting documents" not if it has been processed by the IRS. FYI the received date on a transcript is always the due date and not the date you filed. If you get a RFE, then you respond accordingly or you address it at the interview if one is required. No need getting desperate.
