Just get married and have the USC petition you for a spousal visa.   K-1s are not a “try it out,” and I expect they’ll question your intent to marry after doing that.

Moving from family,  your country and friends can be stressful and by doing K1,  it adds to stress of waiting out the AOS process and homesickness on top of feeling walled in as u can not work or  return home to visit .  That is why the spouse visa is superior. check crazycat's charts.
 
Have u  and USC checked the new fees to adjust your status in the US after marriage?
AOS fees now total  $2540 for I 131 ,  I 485 and I 765 plus if USCIS requires a new medical in the US ,  there will be dr appointment costs.  with I 129 K1 fee of $675

The cost to do a spouse visa is $1070 for for I 130 and the 2 NVC fees with an additional $220 to process green card after visa issued.
 
Marrying and filing for spouse visa would show a real relationship and aid your new process
 
Add to this which is important to USC,,  you can be added to workplace insurance easier and USC can include u on tax returns to double the deduction (in the year u marry)
 

Further down the road you will need to show that USC filed federal tax returns if worked outside the US
If no US income,  joint sponsor will be needed
 
immigrant will need criminal reports from all countries lived in

while working in Italy after covid ,  did USC husband file US tax returns on foreign income?
this income does not count , as u know , for sponsorship,  but he is required to file US tax returns no matter where he lives

they can choose any of the sites near u for the oath
and ours was done at a courthouse with judge
and be USCIS officer who pedcides or judge 
 
The Secretary of Homeland Security has the authority to administer the Oath and may delegate the authority to other officials within DHS and to other employees of the United States
 
In addition, immigration judges may also administer the Oath in administrative ceremonies. During judicial naturalization ceremonies, the judge in the district of proper jurisdiction has exclusive authority to administer the Oath.

Now that the fees to adjust your status after a US marriage have doubled,   spouse visa makes mush more sense as both K1 and CR1 take about the same time.
 
If u will not return to Nigeria to live,  send for the criminal report documents that will be needed for your Finland interview.
