Is there anyone here whose k1/k2’s beneficiary is from Nigeria?. I’m wondering if my case is taking so long because of the country. I’m a naturalized citizen from Nigeria.

I got the same one today. If they reviewed and I think I didnt have anything wrong in my case why not accepted already? This actually makes me feel more anxiety.

I don't see that question on the I-129F.  I believe it will be on the beneficiary's DS-160 visa application.

Its on the DS 160 if you have ever been refused a visa you just check yes and give a brief explanation and it’s a non immigrant visa that was denied and in thoes you have to prove intent to return this is a different visa so it won’t effect your K1 if the visa was denied for inability to prove intent . My fiancé also got denied in the past but my lawyer said not to worry

Mine is the same 12th/18th and I too received an SMS at 4:45 AM. Websites are still the same.  I'm kind of expecting an RFE because I'm a multiple filer. (Filed before in 2005 and divorced in 2014) instructions were contradictory in some steps. Didn't specify if name change documents were needed (my ex changed her last name when we married and her first name when she received her citizenship) I she told me that she discarded her old documents so I really hope this isn't an RFE.
