Past Citizenship, or past entry/AOS? IR1 isn't the same thing though, because that would include people who've already been married at least 2 years. I understand that some people will wait it out, just to get that green card, but I have to think that the number of people staying married for that long probably have a very low rate of fraud. It might skew the numbers to include them with the CR1's. (I'd still like to see the numbers, though.)

So here my thought process.

Immigrant comes in with a K1, cannot adjust status until marriage so stays, after AOS stays, can split and ROC on his own in 2 years. If he stays then can we assume that it's not just for GC? If he stays till citizenship before divorce then one can assume that it's just life stuff and not fraud.

CR1/IR1 can set foot in the US and split and roc, if he stays to roc we can assume that it's golden.

Again not scientific but will be food for thought for those that care. For those that don't then there are other reading materials on VJ.

Tell him you'll move to Nigeria to be with him. See what happens.

Planning to get married and not having even met is probably jumping the shark just a little, especially when dealing with such a high fraud country as Nigeria.

Please can someone tell me if my husband has a chance of being approved for tourist visa while waiting on spouse visa. Or has someone in Nigeria gotten this before while waiting?

About a 99% denial with a active petition in system. But that's about anywhere but the VWP countries.

You can always apply it won't negatively impact your petition. Just be honest who you are visiting. Show strong ties to Nigeria and bring the NOA1 letter to show you are doing it the right way.

That is a waste of money to apply. He won't be approved for a B2.
