Then I think you're jumping the gun.

It's a progressive process.

First things first, then the rest of the things will fill the basket as you advance.

Good luck!.

 

Jumping the gun???

Is this forum not meant for us to learn and know what we don't know before starting the process???so we have an idea of what we going into and how to go about them

We are advised to come here and seek for information before starting the process.

The sponsor and/or joint sponsor provide an Affidavit of Support to show that they can be

able to financially sustain the applicant until they get on their feet.

Thank you.....After the affidavit of support form is filled,is the beneficiary expected to take it to the interview or send it to the NVC after filling in the sponsors details? 

Just now, Andy & Val said:

 

At the NVC stage.

Okay,thanks. Is it same as sponsor or joint sponsor?

You'll be fine.

Just don't overthink things like I mentioned earlier.

With the right composure, you're going to sail through it like it's nothing.

Please....when is affidavit of support needed after filling?

she better be prepared for a lot of stress if you guys intend to follow thru with a  CR1

it can break down a relationship

as i said before,  immigration does not care about your feelings

this process is a nightmare at times

God bless

Even from Miami (about the lowest city in Florida) is round trip for $92 and cheaper than driving

plus can fly early morning and interview and fly back that night

 

so,  no issue

unless your gf is saying she can't do it as it is too stressful on her

and then,  she would be making excuses as why she can't get a visa

 

You don't know her situation...so don't talk about her that way,she has kids that she look out for and i understand her situation. She lives in Jacksonville, wouldn't be wise for her to drive 5 hours to Miami to catch a cheap flight....she would just drive down to ATL.

I think you should convince her to open an account here.......it will help her during the journey...

Thank you..... she's gonna do that soon. 

I need to convince her about we getting married next month,when we get married and she wants to start the process,she would be here .

i am not saying that you 2 don't love but 

but for us USC we hear from family and friends that we are being used for a green card or worse being scammed

and we find out we have to make several trips (high fraud countries) and it gets expensive

and we find out that immigration does not guarantee the visa

it is not cheap

it is not fast

it is not easy

it is not always fair

this is what she is hearing and seeing

 

so, leave it to her to do the needed work 

don't push her to do what she can' not do

Thank you....i understand 

I wasn't pushing her....i was just concerned about my fiancee going through stress just like a husband should feel for his wife.

I don't want to hear more negative things and that's why i was yelling,stopped replying some comments so y'all know i got your point,i was only trying to correct some people who got me wrong but y'all felt i wasn't listening.

Its kinda hard expressing ones feelings through text anyways....

Thank you Jeanne .

Ask her to open an account here on Visa Journey......We will be happy to explain why marrying on the first visit is a bad idea.......Is she willing to relocate to Nigeria if needed?

I would have her sign up....she wont. 

Thanks.

Pardon me but everyone here is married or in love to someone in another country and I personally went thru a 6 year immigration process so we know about love and lasting relationships and the heartache and issues

just accept help when you see or hear it 

as there are some real knowledgeable people here

 

Now i really give up

I never said i wont listen or i wont take to the various advice,i have liked comments and thanked members that contributed....why do you make i seem like I'm not listening? 

THANK Y'ALL FOR THE ADVICE

I REALLY APPRECIATE 

SHE WOULD GO FOR A TOURIST OR VISITING VISA.

I WOULD TRY TO CONVINCE HER ABOUT THE WEDDING!

You have just as much power in this relationship... If you think you should wait then you should wait and if she doesn't respect that then do you really want to marry that person?

I think no matter what i say, y'all wouldnt believe we love each other truly and i try to also see things from her point of view which is because we are in different countries and she feels insecured....i have had relationships for years and we never went along so well,she has had past relationships for years ,same city,state and country and she never felt this way......

I am not being hard on you

i am saying this is all wrong and wrong thinking and would be a big issue for a US CR1 visa

all we can do here is tell you why it is wrong

if my words hurt,  wait till you go for an interview at US embassy

 

You tell us uncle's business is not international and gf does not work,  so creating a document for her to come on business is not only wrong,  it is illegal 

 

If you don't want advice "like don't even think to do this"  or a $92 round trip plane ticket is cheaper than driving,  then i am sorry and i will stop trying to help as that is all i was doing

 

You should also try to be constructive when trying to give advise....you hurt my feelings with the words you said....i really felt bad..i would never knowingly indulge in bad practices.

The whole rush of everything here makes it seem like the OP is just desperate to get to the US rather than sowing the seeds for a successful marriage

Well,i never wanted to say this but she wants it more and whenever i try to tell her we shouldn't get married the first time,she feels i have bad intentions 

2 minutes ago, USS_Voyager said:

Well, it is because YOU DON"T SEEM TO LISTEN TO GUIDANCE AND ADVICE. 

 

You said you wanted to get marry to this woman who you never met on the first time she travel to Nigeria, we told you " No, that's not a good idea" and your reply was: "Well, I'm gonna do it anyway".

 

You said you want an unemployed woman with three children to apply for a Nigerian business visa because your uncle or whoever can supposedly provide some documents for some sort of manufactured "business meetings". We told you: "No, that's not a good idea because it is misuse of the visa and she probably will be stopped by the Nigerian authorities" 

 

So, I don't know, what other advice do you want? We certain won't tell you how to do stuff the wrong way. 

I have said it multiple times that i would tell her to go for the tourist or visiting visa....i appreciate y'all advice but some persons were getting me wrong and i tried to explain....i guess that made it seem like i wasnt listening. 

3 minutes ago, JeanneAdil said:

she has to travel there for any Nigerian visa so why fake things?

if you are willing to circumvent your country's rules,  you show you have no regrard for rules and laws and we need to respect all 

I dont know why you're coming at me....i cant remember saying i would be using fake documents,if you dont have any reasonable advice to give,just dont say anything cause you're hurting me with your words.....i have never done this before and i came here to seek guidance and advice,why are you being hard on me?? 

3 minutes ago, missileman said:

So, there would some lying and deception involved...........not a good idea........

Theres nothing like lying in this issue,i just feel its stressful for her to travel down there and thinking of other ways she we could take....and the documents i was intending to present are not fake,but i understand she would have to make the trip 

1 minute ago, JeanneAdil said:

Very wrong

it has to be a business doing business with US customers

Not sure why you try to fake anything as you are planning to do

 

Not planning to fake anything....using my uncles company and business certificate is not fake.....i brought the issue here to know if its right or wrong..... that's the advice i should get. 

8 minutes ago, Going through said:

Oh I hope this isn't the plan...CO's are very well-trained at putting 2 and 2 together.

Might open up a whole new can of worms.

That's not the plan.....i am not opening any business and she does not need to open a business in Nigeria....business visa does not actually mean having a business,it could be for business meeting, business event or something.....please get my intention,i only wanted to go that route cause she has to travel a long distance that would be stressful to her.

3 minutes ago, missileman said:

I think he means that he will create a business and send her an invitation letter......strange...

No...my uncle was gonna provide his business certificate and also an invitation letter from his company,it doesnt have to be a big or multinational company....as long as it is incorporated and functioning......i never said I'm creating a business......but  I'll just tell her to travel down .......seems she has to. 

6 minutes ago, Going through said:

The issue for the business visa, I believe, is more "how would she qualify" without any sort of business reason/business itinerary/proof of employment when applying.

Something for you to look into.

Okay...thanks,i can get the requirements,all that is needed in addition to requirements for visiting visa is a business certificate of incorporation and a letter of invitation from the company and a letter of introduction from her. 

1 minute ago, JeanneAdil said:

I see so sorry

and it does say,  she should make an appointment so the biometrics and interview happen the same day

you know she needs a letter of invitation (for business this should be a business or  company)

I can process a visa on arrival on her behalf and when she gets to the port of entry,she can pay for the visa and get a business visa cause according to the immigration org,visa on arrival is meant for business travellers......just dont want her going through the stress of travelling 11 hours on the road.

Not presently working....and a college student.

 

Curious what else is in her circumstances that qualifies her for a business visa to enter Nigeria?  Tourist visa seems more feasible.

The distance to Atlanta for a tourist or visiting visa is the issue....i can apply and get a business visa that could allow her legally into the country.

Would that affect our immigrant visa application???

I will tell you one of the issues i got in an RFE for our visa

 

USCIS asked for proof of who paid for my trips (I,  the USC, did)  I had to send bank statements of 3 months before and 3 months after each trip to show i paid and no one reimbursed me for the trips. So,  she better open that bank account back up.

The embassy will ask how she can afford to make these trips to Nigeria as she is a student.

 

Her income will need to be $37,713 for you, herself and 3 children 125% for a CR1 /  and now many embassies are looking for higher as that is poverty level. and even with a cosponsor, they really look closely at sponsor income in high fraud countries.

 

 

 

Yes....she now has a bank account....she should start working soon or we can also get a sponsor.
