Hello VJ members,

Here is a question for you. Has anyone's husband or wife who is Nigerian ever applied for a visitor's visa after getting married? After the USC applied for CR1 for husband/wife?

Has this been ever done? and approved? Just wondering. I mean the husband/wife will have to go back to Nigeria after the visit to wait for the petition to go through its normal process.

Its not that common to be able to get a visitors visa after applying for an immigrant visa. The visitor needs to prove they have no intent to stay, while the CR-1 is saying they do intend to stay. It doesn't really matter where they're from with this part of the problem. Add in Nigeria is considered a high fraud country, and I'd be surprised if anyone says they've gotten visitors visa. Even those that already have visitor visas have been turned away at the border when its found out they're visiting a fiancée/fiancé or spouse.

It is extremely difficult to obtain a visitor's visa from any country in Africa. Nigeria is a tough consulate. It's hard enough to obtain a K-1 or CR-1 visa, let alone a visitor's visa. It's just the way it is. It's the same in Kenya...close to impossible.

It is as close to IMPOSSIBLE for any person to get a visa from Nigeria. In this case since there is a pending petition, I would say they will not allow the person to come for a visit in fear that the beneficiary would not return. Good luck!

When they interview someone for a visitors visa the person wanting the visa has to show compelling reasons to go back home. What would be the Nigerian spouses reason to go back home ( and not try to pull a sneaky AOS once in the US ) You will have better luck flying a kite in the rain to generate electricity

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.
