first of all 

1   create a timeline here to help the VJ community answer any and all questions

2.  next ,  be prepared to marry if the K1 is denied 

3.  need much patience to go thru this process

4.  read the portal for Nigeria and the embassy reviews as that is your best source reguarding your embassy

5.  many here wait years (ours was total of 6 ) to get a visa

6.  this is not easy 

     this is not fast

     this is not cheap

7.  get to know your USC fiancee and be prepared for everything in the USA /  there are many posts on here from others who are discouraged as with K1 you can not work immediately and many get homesick and lonely /some can not adapt to foods /  some to our weather/  and many are surprised to find out how hard Americans have to work..   Imagine a person living in the country and suddenly in a big city or visa versa.   or you coming from hot weather to a place where there is snow 6 months of the year.     Just prepare yourself for all these changes 

 

and good luck

Well said on all of this..My husband (CR1) has been here over a year and the only thing he is not adjusting to is American foods...Thank God I love Nigerian cuisines and that we have many Nigerian/African restaurants here..When he first got here April 2018, he was without work until January 2019, but that's because at that time we weren't really looking and my income alone helped us along the way...I thank God he is not homesick, but does miss close family and friends...Other than that, the food seems to be the only issue for him..Everything has to be hot...Lol! I will say to anyone coming to a foreign land is research and learn that country you will be living in...
