Does AirBnB operate in Nigeria?

Yes, though many ladies going over prefer to stay in a fenced and guarded hotel the first time until they become

more familiar with the region. He will know what to do as far as accommodations and they can then discuss it together.

 

OP, there are old threads in the Sub-Saharan forum about first time travel to Nigeria with lots of advice and even recommended
places to stay at. Search them out. Going to his country will make you understand his culture better and the Lagos CO's

prefer when USC go to Nigeria to meet family versus visiting in another country which they often frown on.

I'm not angry but this is borderline spamming at this point. OP's first threat got like 9 pages full of advises already. OP's acting like none of those answers matter, because she keeps asking same qu

Isn't this like your 3rd thread about the same thing? I believe you got a lot of advises in your previous topics. But I'll repeat that for you.   Refilling K1 won't do you any good. You need

There is no way they will approve him for a visitor visa after the K-1 denial. He clearly has immigrant intent.

ok. thank you. I will just try to visit there then. I just want to be with him anyway possible and as soon as possible. I am still pretty broken up. but at least I know there's some hope. I'm so terrified of waisted efforts going through that difficult embassy after what has happened. But at least I will be married. It's truly what we want. thanks

Also, don't forget, your fiancé will need to write you a letter of invitation, for your Nigerian visa. Don't forget to factor in the time and cost to get a visa from the Nigerian consulate in D.C.

I did not read your other 2 threads but I read this one and can say that I'm glad you're finally moving forward. Various hardships hit us all on this journey and you just have to find a way to move past it. That is always the 1st step. Everything else is just planning and working diligently to be with the love of your life. Distance is the only thing truly stopping you and it can be overcome. Money is another but with careful planning, it can be overcome. Everything works out. You just have to be strong and overcome.

Sorry to hear you were denied, it was so close to be together and to start a family. I hope you will get the next one very soon. You can apply for another fiance visa but don't overload it, make it short and precise, include the waver letter asking to forgive you for not explaining your documents properly first time and your fiance behavior being so hurt and not thinking well, apologize and say it's the 2nd time visa with the same fiance, same person and attach your prove you were never married as well more visits, at least 1 more and staying together. Don't attach lots of pictures and irrelevant documents, just the cover letter with the list of all attached, don't confuse the embassy people with lots of reading.

2nd fiance visa may work and it's a short waiting

thank you for examining my letter. you do give some hope and further understanding. I am also trying to get into Canada for a visit with him and all my kids. haven't decided whether we should marry there or not but if not. we can go again later if that's what it will take. I have a very close friend there. It's a 12 hour drive from where I live. anyway. I went to dubai last February.  1 year ago. went with my daughter. we front loaded. we sent them original boarding passes. luggage reciepts. hotel check in and out.  wedding ring reciepts grocery.  shopping in dubai reciepts stamps in all passports. events in dubai together. pictures. everything plus. there was proof.

Don't count on Canada. The process is easy but we were denied for a visitor visa twice. First they said, no legitimate business reason to be in Canada and the second after we cleared up everything is, petitioner may not leave after intended stay, or something similar to that. I'm sorry that happened to you. Best wishes
