Little story, for POF which is usually a concern, I had like 5.5M in my account, $2k USD in dorm account. 5M was gift deed from my Dad, he had 25M in fixed deposit since July 2021. As at the time I applied, the money was fixed. There were several opinions about this, but I kept it that way even though I was scared sh*tless. The closing balance of that account was 77k in fact.

Around November 9 ish, I sent updated statement showing liquidated funds and my Dad transferred the balance of like 8M to me since I’d enrolled in courses. My savings in Naira and USD had grown, I also got salary raise at work so I packaged all these and sent severally via webforms – both old and new. Oh yeah, I’ve ordered like 3 notes and I still have 4 pending lol.

I’m adding all of these because I’m not sure what did the trick. It’s pretty much a combination of all.

Lol...it is unlawful to marry twice. If you must apply for a student visa, do so with a married status. If you travel to the US with a single status and try to remarry your wife, it may backfire. American immigrations abhors irregularity/consistency. I am sure the status of your wife who is an American citizen is married, so how does she explain to the authority she wanna remarry without divorce?

She can file for a spousal visa for you, the only thing is you don't know when it will be approved.

I think all you need now is patience , don't let desperation make you do things that you will later regret.

Drenimarcus:
She needs to come back again before you file. Rules says within 2 years and you guys last saw 2 years ago. She needs to visit you before filing bro. All the best!

sharpman1:
The requirement is to meet at least once within two years prior to filing the petition by the USC fiance(e).

The time together can hold anywhere but it's important to document with pictures and receipts of places visited together. Flight tickets and boarding passes is also good evidence.

Be careful with having a formal introduction though as that may be considered as being married which will disqualify the applicant from getting the K1 visa.

MrWondah:
I'm creating this thread due to the recent mails I've been getting here.
In the world of programming today, there are over 60% who are self thought. I'm not here for statistics.
I will be sharing a simple PDF guide on best resources for major programming languages, frameworks and markup languages. Only resource for those who don't know where to get one or need motivation.
These would include:
HTML
CSS and its frameworks
JavaScript and its libraries
PHP
Mysql
Java SE
Rugby
C family
Mobile app Dev
Python
And as many that would come on request.

The ones listed here are the ones I'm good at, so I'll share where I've been getting help.
If you are interested send me a mail via my signature.
I can't post the links here due to nairaland rules.
They are completely free

Beautyaddy:
You want to visit her and at the same time get married when you get to the US. Who's going to pay for the expenses of the wedding?

Beautyaddy:
So if your fiancée is a US citizen and you intend to get married when you get to the US then let your fiancée petition a K-1 visa for you.

Rexnegro:
