Tell your cousin to call or email the US embassy in Lagos for verification. We don’t work at the embassy so we can’t give any verifications. 

"Properly be identified and vetted" most countries don't have that...

Why are you getting married in the USA?     That is an easy answer -  Because the K-1 visa requires that we get married in the USA.

Ok thats fine, will ask around... 

If you are divorced you must submit the document that they are asking for. That is my take but it can be confusing to me because in the Philippines you have to get what is called a CENOMAR (certification of no marriage) to prove you have never been married. If you have been married and divorced then you will receive a CEMAR (certificate of marriage).  Here in your letter it states to get the divorce decree verification in the beginning of the letter then in the second half it speaks to "if you need it". So my question is what makes me "need it?" Because I was once married, or are they wanting me to prove that I am not married or is it something else as in I do have a final divorce and I am now free to marry. That's the confusing part to me.
 
Maybe others can chime in whether you need one. If you need one then follow the directions contained in the letter. 
 
I have a library of P3's from each of the embassy's but that doesn't necessary mean I know everything about the process at those embassy's. That's why I refer you to ask others here in the thread for input. Good luck.

Yes, its pretty much what I had stated

You do not need to show proof of insurance upon your arrival to the US. 
if you choose a temporary visitors insurance- look at the different plans and that will tell you how long they are valid for. Some may be months, a year, and may or may not have the option to be renewed. I’d suggest having  the coverage for emergency’s but don’t plan on having a baby with it. Insurance you obtain when your a resident is most important.
 
Inpatient stays are the most expensive  so it’s important for this coverage. God forbid you got in an accident and broke your leg- or had to be hospitalized for the flu- that’s what is covered. 
outpatient is not nearly as expensive and would be if you went to the doctor for a cold and wanted to get checked.
urgent care is a step below the emergency room- don’t really Need this coverage, especially if you have both IP and OP coverage.
you most likely will have copayments- which are a fixed cost you pay each time you go to the doctor, hospital or have a service done. For example you may have a $20 copay for your primary care doctor or a $100 copay for a MRI.
the deductible is what you have to meet (aka pay) before your insurance kicks in 100%. For example if you have a $5000 deductible the first $5000 in medical expenses are your responsibility- then insurance would probably kick in 100%.
 
Every plan is different. It would be helpful if your fiancé could help explain these things to you as well.

I saw one last week from India get denied for same thing... USCIS doesn’t recognise customary divorce and therefore wouldn’t recognise legal marriage to usc.. they had to go get a formal degree and are now trying to work out if legally able to get married a second time before starting the visa process all over again 

I think it should b posted on a Nigeria forum or smtin, i dont knw how dis site works but i tink only Nigerian will understand d customary marriage thin.

Feel free.  I’m just telling you how the USCIS will see it, which is the important thing for petition approval.

Okay! Tomorrow is the day I'm sending off my I-129F and I need to put this out here for piece of mind! Below is everything that I have ready to send.
