VisaOfficer:
Hi Emeka,

After you marry, your wife can file an I-130 petition on your behalf. Within a year (possibly just a few months later, depending on the workload at the National Visa Center), you'll be scheduled for an interview here in Lagos.

I really can't give you pointers on avoiding red flags, because some people reading these forums are looking for ways to make their sham relationships appear bona fide, and I'm not here to help them. All I can tell you is that if your relationship is genuine, and you're able to talk about it convincingly, you shoud be fine.

Good luck!

Hello Officer
I am a citizen of the United States and my fiance is a Nigerian I am wondering if I marry my fiance in Nigeria am I able to fill out the paperwork from Nigeria for him to come to the US while I stay in Nigeria and wait on the answer in Nigeria with him? this is really a plan be for us as we have already submitted our I 129 and he had an interview his documents were sent back to the USCIS but he was not denied or given a reason as to why so we are currently waiting to see what the USCIS has to say in regards to his documents being sent back here we are just trying to come up with another plan if and that the USCIS denies the visa
