Can I get the NPC cert of ondo birth in Lagos?, or I will have to go to my state for it?, please help
Yes You can get it in Lagos. Just go to NPC main office in Surulere.

When should he call NVC please? A week or 2 weeks after the approval?
I think it's two weeks on the average.

I however advice that you contact them via this link before then and update your email and other info: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html

Please what do we do after receiving our NOA2? How will we know we’ve been assigned a case number?
Your fiancee will need to call NVC. They will request for info such as date of birth, passport number, phone number, email address, etc. They'll also provide the case number.

Now I understand. I only receive NOA1 . I am yet to receive NOA2
Okay. It usually takes close to a year to get NOA2 although I hear it takes shorter time nowadays. So just keep your ears to the ground.

@molybdenum0012, the CO won't doubt the genuineness of your relationship as long as you answer his questions truthfully.

The documents needed to prove genuineness of relationship include, but are not limited to, the following:

Pictures of you too and family, printout of chats (email, WhatsApp, etc), boarding pass of travels, CBP/immigration stamps, account statements showing transfers, life insurance, etc.

The first question is actually confusing
It's not. It's pretty straight forward. And you guys alone know the answer. And just as sharpman1 said, there are no wrong or right answers. Just tell them the truth and be relaxed, you guys will be approved.

House please how do I answer these questions if I’m asked.

1- Why did you decide to marry in America and not in Nigeria?
We can't answer that question for you. You and your fiance know the actual reason.

2- why do you want to marry your fiancé when he has no ties in Nigeria.
It's none of their business whom you marry. I dont think they'll ask that question. But if they do, tell them the truth.....that you love him, right?
TravelRe: USA Spousal Visa Process/ K3 Visa by LegitBachelor: 8:44pm On Jul 26, 2019
@davido05 is your wife a citizen or permanent resident. If she's a citizen then I'd say its really taking a long time?

Also did you get any correspondence from USCIS? NOA1? RFE? NOA2?

@Dutchleez, I think it's both her attributes and basic info. But I'll advice not to be too detailed as you could end up boxing yourself into a corner. Just 3 to 5 sentences should suffice in my own opinion. Let the CO probe for more if he/she wants more info.

YoungIncredible:
Thanks.
Please do you have any idea about the procedure of obtaining a birth certificate at NPC, and it's requirements?
If you live in Lagos, go to the NPC office in surulere. If you live in other states, go to the nearest local government office. You'll go with your passport photo and photocopies of your international passport. You'll also have to go there with money (N10,000 or thereabout) to pay them. That money goes into their pocket which is quite unfortunate.

Beautyaddy:
Huh...do you mean that the Driver License will be valid for one year?

What State is that?
Yes, one year. It's only when you get the greencard that a six year validity is given.

That's Texas for you. They are very conservative. In fact some drivers license office here in Texas may not even grant your request for drivers license until you get workers permit and/or greencard. I think I'm even lucky to be considered for a possible one year valid drivers license.

I hear some States are even more strict. However there are also very lenient States.

Yeah I did check on save. It said they have sent the application to Maryland since July 3. So I am thinking of going to their office for update.
Yeah I think you should go to their office. It should have been sent to your address by now.

Nice one bro. Applied for ssn since July 3, we never see their break light. I am thinking of going back to their office to check. Account and insurance opened tho. Hope your day is going smoothly.
You can follow it up using the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (save) program casecheck. This is the link:

https://save.uscis.gov/CaseCheck/

You'll need to type in your Passport Number and Date of Birth, I think.

mekusa10:
Okay bro thanks. What of the validity of the medicals or police report? Do they still play anything as long as visa has been received?
Your Visa validity is tied to the validity of the Medical Report just as Drenimarcus said. Thus once you get your Visa, you don't need to bother about the validity of the Medical Report. Just ensure you get to the States before the Visa expires. The validity of the Police Clearance is for one year just as Drenimarcus said so you shouldn't worry much about it since one year is quite long.
TravelRe: USA Spousal Visa Process/ K3 Visa by LegitBachelor:
@YoungIncredible, it takes less than a week to get your NPC Birth Certificate. I advice you get it asap as you would need it in your application with NVC (after getting NOA1). Note that what you'll get is the NPC Birth Certificate along with the Court Affidavit. Both are very important and must be submitted together to NVC.

The wait time is long. I hear it could take over 2 years. However the good news is that your wife can always update her petition the moment she acquires citizenship.

mekusa10:
So I have a question. What is the implication of travelling 2 months after getting approval? Am I delaying anything ?
There's no implication as long as your passport is still valid and your K1 visa is valid. On entry into the States, you'll have 90 days to get married to your fiance.

I've commenced the process for obtaining Drivers License. Went to the DPS with my international passport, social security card and proof of residence. The queue was quite long. Waited for close to 4 hours before it got to my turn! Aside the documentations, I did the vision test and the Drivers written exam test which I passed. I also had to go do the driving practise test which I passed.

However I was given a license with a validity of a month! This is because they said my K1 visa is valid for only a month angry

Well, I guess I'll just manage it till it expires then I can go and renew.

I advice you go get your Drivers License after getting your social security number. Note however that each State within the US has different requirements for obtaining Drivers License.
Update on my Texas Drivers License

I went to renew my Drivers License and it went well. My license wasnt renewed at the spot because I don't have greencard or workpermit. However they requested for my NOA1 for the pending AOS application and said they'll get back to me in a weeks time.

So what they will do is verify my documents and if okay will send me a mail confirming my successful verification. Then I will use that mail when going to the Drivers License office to get a new License. It should be valid for one year. Will update you guys.

@LegitBachelor do you know if 18years ages difference is a red flag especially if the person filing is a female and she is 18yrs older.... any contributions will be well appreciated.
The most important question is this: Do you love each other?

If the answer is yes then you don't need to worry about 18 years difference.

guys please don't be annoyed ooo, concerning the NPC birth certificate, I learnt my two parents name will be on the certificate, my issue is that my mother and father are married but not living together and no form of court marriage and my mother still uses her father surname.will be wise to use my father's surname for my on the certificate or just use her father's surname as her surname and also will the two(mother and father)different surnames cause problem for me during immigration? thank you.
Use her official name. She's your mum regardless of whose last name she bears.

New Jersey..
Learnt New Jersey could be tough for those whose i94 validity is less than 60 days. The annoying thing is that the website just states that the i94 should be valid, it didnt say anything about 60 days.

But I also learnt that some MVCs are more knowledgeable and friendly than others. I advice you try some other MVCs and see their response. Most especially these two addresses:

1. 3200 Brunswick Pike, Lawrenceville, NJ 08648
2. 2236 US-130 North, Dayton, NJ 08810
