Well it all depends, I know of people that their wives visited them once and they granted them visa, while they were some their wives visited  more than once and they were refused, l was reading a case of someone that his wife visited him more than 5 times here Yesterday and was still refused and his birth country is not among the fraud list countries. it all depends with the discretions of the CO at your different Embassies based on how you respond to questions and the guneity of your relationship as will be concluded by the CO. And for the record you did not answer my question

You didn't answer the question....Which country?  You asked, "Are we good?"  Your country of origin is a huge factor in answering that question.

As @JFH said, if she has visited only once, it could be an issue......Age difference? Different religion? A lot of factors to consider.

Agree which Country?

She is visiting for the second time next month and l was only asking if the documents are OK to proceed with the filing of CR1 visa. We are same age and same religion. 

Why are you hiding the name of your home country?  We are honestly trying to answer your questions, but you have to cooperate.....

How was only asking about the documents she about to submit for CR1 visa first step. 

I agree with the others that the country is relevant and first visit marriages can have problems. Since she's visiting again in April maybe consider waiting until after that visit before filing to show more proof. 

 

Has she changed her name? Do you have shared bank account? Credit cards? Insurance? Proof of these things can be important. 

 

And I'm a hijabi and included no letter explaining that.

Nigeria is a high fraud country.  It is very likely that a one visit marriage will get a great deal of scrutiny......
