She wasn’t my ex yet we were in a middle of a divorce 

Okay, let me rephrase that:  it is highly unusual to plan for travel with someone you are DIVORCING and no longer want to be with.

Sole custody may or may not be sufficient for immigration. Local laws apply. Don’t assume that it will be fine and get surprised later.

Can you see why your story made no sense to the CO?

It doesn’t make sense to you because you not following, you are here to judge me. I proceeded with the divorce after the b1/b2 was refused . Things didn’t workout , reconciliations etc .. divorce takes process,

Your story somewhat changes slightly/timeline you gave doesn't make sense slightly---or at least, that's how it's coming across...

 

 

You said you met your fiancee in March 2018.

You said you applied for the B visa "early 2018" (while going through divorce proceedings) with your ex-wife.

 

You first said that you were planning on touring the USA with your ex-wife in hopes of reconciliation, etc.

Then you later said you and your ex-wife were not cordial with each other at the time the B visa was applied for together.

 

You said your ex-wife disappeared and is no where to be found, which is why you have custody of your son.

You also said last year you were planning a trip together?

We're not here to judge---that's the CO's job.  What we are trying to show you, is that if your story was mixed up during your interview/kept changing slightly, as it did here in the forums, then it's reasonable that the CO denied you...because the timeline/story probably didn't make sense to them, either.

 

Anyways---all water under the bridge now.  The petition is revoked, and will be sent back to die/expire.  Going forward, get married to your USC in Nigeria (or a 3rd country both of you can travel to), then she files the CR-1.

It's not that some people are not following, it's that if it doesn't make sense, it's always going to be your job to make sure the people you are explaining your situation too are able to follow.

If the CO wasn't able to follow well (either due to their lack of understanding or your lack of clarity or both), then that's enough for them to question you, and subsequently deny you.

Can't think of too many couples that file for divorce in 2017, and then afterward plan a tourism trip together in 2018...especially if one of the parties is all of a sudden engaged to someone else in the meantime.

 

CO probably thought that seemed somewhat fishy.

CO not the only one.

We were not cordial, I was visiting my son and she heard about it ,meanwhile we were hoping things would work out 

How can you be visiting your son if you have full custody? Visiting your son where? He’s 6 years old. Who was he with?

 

It’s my belief that you asked your almost-ex-wife to apply for a B-2 with you because you heard/read somewhere less reputable than VJ that married couples have higher chances of approval than people applying alone, especially when the lone person is applying in order to meet a love interest. So you enlisted her help to present yourselves as a married couple going on a family vacation but in reality only you were going to travel. I’ve seen this many times before in my line of work. They even sometimes buy two plane tickets, one for each spouse, in order to make the story look more believable but one of them no-shows for the flight.

Well apparently it didn't make sense to the person paid to judge the situation.  Hopefully you will have a well put together and believable case if you choose to apply for a CR-1.

I’m wondering if the fiancé was mentioned on the DS-160 for the B-2. It asks if you have relatives (and the notes/instructions include fiancé in the definition of relative) in the USA.

My son is with me and not in the US, yes I could have answered some questions wrongly. I have my son with me and we both went for k1/k2 visa, I have never been to the USA. 

Then who's son were you going to visit. You really are making no sense and if this is how you answered no wonder. You said you applied with your ex-wife to see your son in US. Is that a lie? or what. Goodness get the story straight abeg.

My ex is no where to be found , . I have the custody

So your finace' was petitioning you and your son and you don;t have notarized letter from the mom to remove th child from the country. I am amazed they didn;t ask you for a permission letter. They didn't inquire where she was?
I see this as you answered so in concise they are confused.

I have full custody after the divorce , but during the process of divorce I only had temporal custody
