I filed for a k-1 visa and my fiancé was denied. they asked him 3 easy questions that he got right of course. then they gave him a letter stating not able to prove bona fide relationship. This is sooo crazy because we are very much in love. we had all required documents to prove such case. interviewer stated to my fiancé that I need to come to Lagos and marry him.

Quite typical for Lagos because its a high fraud country.

I am only making guesses because you really don't offer much information. Your documentation could have been lacking. The attitude and demeanor of your fiance' could have raised concern by the CO. And, as stated above Nigeria is a high fraud country. There could have been one of a number of reasons or simply concern of The CO for the denial. Sorry to hear about this.

Welcome to VJ! Sorry to hear the bad news. I'm moving your thread from the "Introducing Our Members" forum to the "Africa: Sub-Saharan" regional forum so that our many fine Nigeria-involved members can help you.

we had everything we needed our lawyer would have had him go without proper docs. and I know we had everything we needed because I sent all he needed to him. but thanks for your suggestions

well fraud is everywhere even here in America. I just don't think its fair to be pre judged. This is my life in the hands of a co that already has his mind set. Now he wants to stress the relationship to see just how far we will go, but at who's expense? NOT his! Yes I have money to sponsor but not for all this. America is not cheap to live and survive. RAT RACE of a country.. OL....

can anyone give me suggestions on what I should do from here. I do love this man and I wants him here with me. He was advised that I come to Nigeria and marry him.

Can always go and live in Nigeria, or go there, get married, and try your luck at a CR-1.

There are the requirements for filing a petition and the requirements to convince that you are real. The requirements to file are the same worldwide and are stated in the instructions. The requirements to get the visa from the embassy vary vastly depending on where you are from. Someone from the UK or Canada basely have to fill the forms out correctly and still have good chances of getting a visa. People from high fraud place of which Nigeria is one of the worse have to just about kill a forest of trees to prove a relationship. Few K1's are approved there if the petitioner hasn't spent at least 30 days in Nigeria and has pictures with the family ( To file a K1 you have to meet once even if only for hours ) So many people from 3rd world countries treat finding someone in a better place to lift them out of their current place as a job that the embassy has seen these people , they study for the interview , the practice what they say , they practice what they tell their petitioner to keep them behind the petition. It is a killer for real relationship. Many of us with real relationships have gotten denied the first time and suffered through a second petition. They do this because they lack the tools to correctly pick out real relationships from fake one. Until there are no 3rd world countries or until they get better selection tools in these places we are at their mercy.

Lawyers don't always get it right, especially for high fraud countries. Often they mess you up even more.
Did you have any red flags such as big age gap, different religions, short time span from meeting to visiting, short visit or only

one visit ?

What and how much communication evidence have you submitted ?

Your petition will be returned to USCIS where it will expire and you can start over by re filing a K1 or get married and file a CR1

but you will still have to proof a bona fide relationship and that is why I am asking how much and what type of relationship you did

submit and if you have any red flags that need to be addressed so you can be successful next time around.

Frontload your next petition, very important since the CO's minds in Lagos are often already made up before they even

interview the beneficiary and go by what is in your petition package. This is something many lawyers don't know and do.
