NO

You CANNOT get married or your K1 will be invalidated. To enter the USA using a K1 visa you MUST be unmarried.

If you DO get married, your K1 will be void and you will need to start this process again and apply for a CR1 / IR1 spousal visa.

How would you enter the US to marry ? A K1 is for an unmarried person to enter the US to marry there. IF you planned a wedding for Nigeria than a K1 was never the right visa for you . If you will be married when you enter the US then you need to be married and file a CR1 and wait for it to be approved. The only way a Nigerian "wedding" works with a K1 is for you to marry in the US ( civil wedding is fine ) and then file for AP to go back to Nigeria for a bigger wedding. If you have a wedding in Nigeria and the consulate finds out ( they are famous for field investigations during AP ) you will end up denied ) Also if it ever comes up you married in Nigeria and entered on a K1 all of your immigratons benefits can be revoked and you can be deported.

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