K1 Visa for Nigerian fiancee living in South Africa

[NCD2981 0]

My fiancee is a Nigerian national currently residing in South Africa. He was once married to a South African woman. Since their divorce his legal status in South Africa has been unclear as he is still waiting for his permanent residency status to be finalized. We would like to start the visa process in January but aren't sure where he should apply from - South Africa or Nigeria. How should we approach this?

If he is legally resident in South Africa he can have his interview there otherwise he needs to go back to Nigeria.

Well you will be submitting the petition not him. If he will be a permanent resident by the time of interview (Figure like 6 months from when you send in petition) he can interview there.

Just put it in as best as you can and if need be use an attachment. Addresses tend to be almost directions in some more rural areas.
