Just seeing this are you in the group?

From the I-130 instructions document, page 6-7. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-130instr.pdf
 
These instructions are clear but there is an official tool that can help you crop and make sure the photo is right. Go there and see the requirements and tool for cropping and confirming the photo meets the specifications:

Good luck!

Well, you aren't the "child", "brother/sister", or "spouse", you are the step-father, so I would go with "Parent."

She is 24 n I’m 32

I’m in love 

I have been to Liberia, Ghana, Nigeria and Egypt, so I know my way a little bit around Africa. But will visit again and then consider the k1 instead of the cr1

Unfortunately, I don’t see Liberia anywhere on there. Anyway thanks for your time. I really appreciate it 

Ok thanks for the info. From what I’m getting from this tread, your process was easy because because you are base in a European country but mine will be more difficult because my fiancé is in Africa. 

Re fraud. A proxy is the % of B visa refusals the country gets. Liberia is at 68% refusal rate which is high. 
 
 
^ this is excellent advice. 6 months is not a lot of time to get to know someone, even in person.  And if a second or third flight is a financial burden you need to seriously figure out how you are going to afford the immigration process.

The US o Governent
along with all VJ members who have been denied and gotten a NOID or NOIR and had to fight to get a visa including me
and we are married now for over 11 years but it took us from 2009 to 2015 to be approved and it was costly %35,000 in all 
this is not cheap
this is not easy
this is not fast
 
Do yourself a favor and read posts here every day of people who marry fast
that makes immigration a priority and it can be heartbreaking
you need time to get to know each other / the romance is great 
and the visa process puts so much stress on 2 people ,  it can tear you apart
 
get to know her
go to meet her
come home and take on a 2nd job so you can return and marry 
and then try for a visa
the way you plan is MORE THAN LIKELY going to fail and a denied visa is harder and longer to overcome than doing it so it will be approved 
 
do it your way and come back in 18 months and ask me how to overome your NOID
