They have a choice: either to find a way to get married or not be together during five or more years. I only wanted to make sure that they made an Informed decision.

If I were in their situation and had the money, I would buy two tours to Puerto Rico, for example, and get married at the beach there. Nothing illegal. Both are foreigners and can marry wherever they want as long as they satisfy the laws of such country. And in a US dependency she won't have to leave the USA.

Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the United States. The rules for getting a visitors visa are the same as the USA. The beneficiary has no better chance of getting a visitors visa to Puerto Rico than he does to the US. The US Consulate in Lagos is known to be one of the toughest in the world due to the high level of visa fraud in Nigeria. If the fiance in Nigeria had any hope of getting a tourist visa to the US then I doubt he would have posted his question, as he'd have a ready solution to it - he'd come to US and marry his fiancee.

So, the situation is: she cannot leave the US until she gets her green card, and he cannot enter until he gets a visa. How are they supposed to marry before she gets her green card if it doesn't look like they can even meet in the same country?
