Please, refrain from commenting if you do not have the knowledge. The OP is going through a CR1 process, the evidence needed is slightly different than the one for a K1 and Nigeria IS a high fraud country. Remember that your particular circumstances don't necessarily apply to others. In this case, there's no harm and the OP has already received great advise; but your answer can misinform other members.

We are all here to help, but we must be careful not to provide incorrect or misleading information.

Agreed. I did give my Visa category and my comment was for encouragement not advise.

Also it's never too early to draw up a will and name each other as your beneficiaries.

We threw in some random pieces of evidence: a police report from a minor vehicle accident we had where the police officer wrote that my husband was in the car with his wife and gave my name, some medical records from my hospital stays last year where the doctor had written "I spoke to her husband, Mr F. H., this morning and explained what we are going to do" and also where my husband was listed as the next of kin. Also my workplace pension where my husband is listed as the sole beneficiary should I die before I retire.

Timeline in brief:

Married: September 27, 2014

I-130 filed: February 5, 2016

NOA1: February 8, 2016 Nebraska

NOA2: July 21, 2016

Interview: December 6, 2016 London

POE: December 19, 2016 Las Vegas

N-400 filed: September 30, 2019

Interview: March 22, 2021 Seattle

Oath: March 22, 2021 COVID-style same-day oath

 

Now a US citizen!
