This is not the Nigerian embassy, why not visit the embassy website for answer to all your questions.

Send her a letter of invitation stating her name, her date of birth, her residence address. Also, state how long you intend to host her in Nigeria.
She doesn't need much from her side, just her evidence of a job and her bank account (even if it has only $1.000). Yet, even without a job, she can still get the visa, let her say she is a cleaner, Nigerian embassies never verify anything

Ok, thanx... I have a sample of an invitation letter but when done, does it need a stamp or any additional thing?

I just edited my previous post, you might want to read it again.
No, your invitation letter does not need a stamp, you only have to include a copy of the bio-data page of your passport

all you need to send to her is invitation letter, ur data page of ur PP and ur statement of acc cos you are the one inviting her , she dont need to show her statement of acc to get the visa all she need to do is fill the form correctly . If the embassy is not far from her she can drive their and get her visa same day . feel free to ask more question if you can not clear with this infor

Re: Inviting Someone From USA To Nigeria For Marriage by ManTiger(m): 11:46am On Apr 04, 2013
@OP, 7days is not enough for the marriage stuff o.
She must stay for atleast 90days or more.
If she comes and and stays for 7days and left after which you've been to the registry, the CO might not be convinced that your relationship is genuine, try and research more in the stuff.
Wish you luck.

Please Listen to what he said, He's right Let her come First dont Think about Marriage, Just go out and have fun with her, Take her around, let her meet people, teach her our Local Language, its doesnt matter if She can pronounce it or not, Take alot of Pictures with her, Then let her returned back to Her Country, If you guys could survive for 1 year then later her come back again and You guys can proceed to Marriage, Well am just telling you from my Personal Experience.

Best of Luck

why do you need to wait for the whole year before you will be get marry to ur partner , i had my wedding 4days after my wife arrive to nigeria. so if you want to go ahead with the two weeks plans is ok put make sure you take alot of picture and get alot of evidence to prove ur marriage is not fraud . they can only delay your case at the embassy they cant denied you . just do it wish ever way you want to do it and try to sick more advice from who has done it before. best of luck

So, I "mentioned it up there" and yet, you still asked me?
Well, what they actually require of you is a valid photo identity: and for a poorly identification country like Nigeria, a passport is a favourite consideration.

. . . . I only asked because i want to know if their are 'other options' available, that was why i asked, i don't think my simple question is out of place sir/ma. Talking about valid photo identity, i do have my Drivers license, National ID Card and Voters Card, i believe the first 2 ID's i mentioned should do, based on the 'Valid photo identity' you mentioned. Thanks a lot for the info. Its highly appreciated. Getting my passport soon tho'.
