It's hard to tell. Owning a business and a home is one tie to the country, having to provide care for parents is another. On the balance, these ties to their home country must be stronger than their incentive to immigrate to the US. Having their only son in the US is a pretty strong incentive to immigrate. Their business in the home country had been informal for most of the time. You can see how the consular officer will weigh these ties versus the incentives, right?
 
But, they surely can try, and as mentioned before, the more new circumstances they can report, the better.    

You can still visit her while your CR1 is pending, I did the same thing and had no issues. So you could still see each other while your CR1 is pending.  I am not sure what you mean by "traveling back and forth right now could cause danger while we're still dating and not married since we're already dating for 1.5 years"? If you have your mind set on adjusting status, you can of course do that now, just make sure that you don't make short-term decisions with long-term consequences. Good luck!

Well for starters, it won't be USCIS interviewing your girlfriend/wife, but consular officer in her home country. No, they won't ask why someone got married in the US - people marry in the US all the time and return to their home country.

From one Dutchie to another, please think very carefully about doing the AOS, you really don’t want to be stuck in the US without being to work or leave for a good few months. You mention that “since you’re Christians you can’t/don’t want to wait any longer”, don’t make huge decisions based on primal desires/needs. I assume that’s what you are referring to? 
 
If possible (not sure how much time you have left on your Esta) why not get married now, leave the US after your visit and do the spousal visa (CR1) instead?

Yes, completely normal.  Note that being actively reviewed doesn't mean anything at all is happening, in this context.  It's just a misleading label.  Your case is in a queue waiting to be actively reviewed.  That active review is usually about 20 minutes of human activity.

If you are within normal processing times, it is completely normal.  Patience is a virtue in immigration.

Yes, this is common and legal.

In some cases for a year or more.

One more thing.  You cannot return to home country (married or not), then re-enter the US as a visitor (married or not) with the intent to stay and adjust status.

Is your fiance a US citizen?  Be aware that, once you submit a proper I-485, you will be granted authorized stay in the US until the I-485 is either approved or denied.

That is not accurate.  The average, as reported by other VJ members, is 440 from filing to interview:
 

You can legally stay and adjust status after marriage.  However, be aware that you cannot leave the US or work for up to 6 months.  Good luck.

What did you mean "I would like to perhaps visit the USA on a long-term visa in the future"

That is why the Consulate need the opportunity of reviewing it.
 
It is not what you were given, it is what you could have been given.

All the questions starting with Have you ever... really do mean have you ever. Looks like you completed ESTA application and was denied and now need to apply for B2 visa. Yes, you do have to pay the tourist visa fee ($160-185 depending on the country) before you can schedule your interview. 
 

Separate I-864.  She must be independently qualified as a sponsor.

Yes.

Thank you!

Thank you everyone! I ended up going to the interview on a wheelchair.. I explained what happened and I got approved !! 🥳🎉 
After the interview I went straight to the hospital..Doctors said was Guillain Barre syndrome that Tdap vaccine and stress caused it 😐 
I had a treatment for a week and now I get better and better every day ✌🏼😊
 

If the beneficiary makes a job change they can update that information when they submit the DS160 and go to the interview.  The I129F is a snapshot in time when filed with respect to employment history of the petitioner and beneficiary.
 
Good Luck!

If you entered the US after your 2 year wedding anniversary you should receive a 10 year card.  USCIS makes that determination.  If you receive an incorrect card, you can file an I-90 to get a corrected one.  You can track your card by using the receipt number you received when paying the immigrant fee.

Divorce in Mississippi and make sure you also pull the I-130. Once divorce final, send her the final divorce decree so she can handle Nigeria side of things in case she wants to marry someone else in the future. 

Where are you residing? You can file for divorce in that state.  Not sure if you have any power in deciding which name she will use in the future.  
Might be a good idea to consult with an attorney to make sure you don't forget anything; might or might not be able to file on your own, depending on the situation, and how comfortable you are with paperwork.  

are you and tucson-laramie the same person?

On your Green Card.  It's the day you became a conditional resident.

Correct statement would be: it CAN be done during the interview IF you have one. Chances are they won't have one, so no opoortunity to inform USCIS under your premises.
 
Waiting until they have the decree is also dangerous. Some divorces take long, and so they might approve it under the premises of a joint filing when they have already separated.
 
Best course of action is to notify uscis of the divorce if they know that's the course of action. Down the road USCIS will request for the divorce decree, which they can provide then. If it is denied, one can refile for a new 751.
