Once you are married, you no longer qualify for a fiance visa.  You would need a spousal visa since you would be married.  Her being a student with 3 kids does not matter since those are not factors in deciding between a fiance visa and a spousal visa.  

I really appreciate your response. As i said,she has three kids, she's a student and she has no bank account cause she closed her previous account,shes 30 and i am 28. What type of the visa would you advise we take, fiancé visa or we get married and she file for spouse visa? I'm new and never been into this before.

Thank you.

What does a bank account have to do with anything?

 

I suggest you read the guides listed at the top of the VJ home page.  They are pretty detailed.  Only you know the unique circumstances of your case and can determine whether fiancee vs spouse visa is best.

 

For both, she will need to be in a financial position to sponsor you as an immigrant. Immigration is very expensive.

As stated, age difference is not an issue..I am 10 years older than my husband..The first time we finally met (March 2016) in Nigeria was a week visit...Met siblings, grandmothers, aunts, uncles, cousins, and close friends..Went a second time for 2 1/2 weeks (October 2016) is when we got married, went a third time (August 2017) while our petition was still in process at the USCIS stage, and went a 4th time (April 2018) to collect my husband to come home to America...We started out December 2014, gone for 3 visits, 10 years age gap, neither one of us has ever been married (a first marriage for both), neither one of us have kids, no RFE's during the USCIS stage, no checklist during the NVC stage, and he is now here since April 2018..I will say each case is different, but Lagos Embassy is not as difficult as it once was before..I will say get plenty of face time in and frontload your petition heavily to prove a bonafide relationship...Other than that, you should be fine...

Hello sir

   I would need your advice. My Fiance' is a US citizen and shes coming to Nigeria for 7 days  by September and we've planned having a court wedding within that time frame. I would love to know if a Fiancé visa is appropriate or a spouse visa cause shes still a student but has three kids. 

 

Thank you.

Posting the same information and ignoring the advice isn't going to get anywhere.

My suggestion is the CR-1, reason being - the embassy has to accept a qualified co-sponsor.   

 

Whereas with the K-1 accepting a co-sponsor is at the embassy's discretion.

Thank you very much....what qualifies a co-sponsor to be accepted and are we gonna need a co-sponsor because she's not working but only a college student?

Varies with the number of people ... go by the I-864P poverty guidelines  https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p

 

complete the I-864 to get the number of people, then used the guidelines
