Hi...i'm new to this forum, and my fiance and I have decided to file for a K1 visa. he lives in England, but was born in Nigeria. Should he file from England. Also, when I send in the I-129F what documents needs to sent in along with my application? Any advice about the whole process would be gratly appreciated

The K1 guides and flowchart are the best place to start, they literally have all the step-by-step info for you.

Good luck with your journey

you can file in the country where he is a legal resident. So if he was just born in Nigeria but is a resident of the UK you can file in the UK.

We just followed the instruction sheet for the affidavit and turned everything in that is mentioned there...no problems. If you have any special questions ask those in details and you will get a lot of help and advice here.

Good luck!!

Agreed about the residency part. I would definitely recommend filing in the UK over Nigeria if at all possible. Nigeria is one of the most difficult consulates and the UK is one of the easier ones.

Unfortunatly, the UK can be just as difficult if you are from Nigeria, india, or any other difficult area. I think it is the region and not the embassy itself.

I agree with your assessment. But, I would tend to believe that the time he has been a legal resident of the UK would also have some bearing. IE.. If his parents moved there when he was a kid vs He just became a legal resident last year. This is ONLY my belief but, it would seem to make sense. Of course, dealing with the USCIS and other government agencies, common sense does not always play a factor!!!!
