So you had a 26 year old Nigerian male and 54 year old American female scenario with no probs?

No we are 37...age isnt the problem rather your same age couple or younger and older Nigeria is nigeria and they will be judgmental regardless just because they are nigerian

Yeah not even close

OP, embassy might as well waiting with just one question: Are you willing to marry a fellow Nigerian who's 54 years and living in Nigeria? My mother is 56 years and I'm 26 years old and the last born. Basically, your scenario is akin to me marring my mother, who's had 5 kids already. Being from the same culture, just the thought of this will NEVER surface in our household. 

 

The orphanage isn't a tourist location where you go take pictures for visa exhibit. Leave the poor kids alone. I can bet you that if and I'm saying if, (because I know it's not going to happen) the orphanage pictures help you get approved, you will NEVER go back to them to finish or start the adoption process. The poor kids are just a pawn to you. Similarly, since you've been in Nigeria all this while, why hadn't you considered adoption already?? Why did it become an idea now that an American and GC is involved? You're taking the Nigerian GC desperation to a new level.

 

I wish you luck, but please, don't waste this poor lady's money and time and end up just using her.

How do you check the adoption part ?    look it up in immigration

read former posts about adoption and people who thought they could adopt a neice or nephew/  there is a ton of information on the subject

check this site out as it says the following:

 

Individuals who are not Nigerian citizens are not legally allowed to adopt in Nigeria.  When a married couple is adopting, both must be Nigerian citizens.  Only U.S. citizens who also have Nigerian citizenship are allowed to adopt children in Nigeria.  

 

that is from the US embassy in Nigeria

 

https://ng.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/adoption/adoption-in-nigeria/

 

 A woman married to a Nigerian can automatically claim Nigerian citizenship ( although I consider this a very risky thing to do as they are then subject to some less than modern Nigeian laws ) CITZENSHIP BY REGISTRATION
A person can become a citizen of Nigeria by Registration if;
a.    Being a woman, she is married to a Nigerian man. This provision affords non-Nigerian women married to Nigerian men an opportunity to become Nigerian citizens if they so please.
This provision does not extend to a non-Nigerian man married to a Nigerian woman. Thus, if a Nigerian lady marries a non-Nigerian man, the man cannot become a Nigerian citizen by Registration. It is hoped that the law would be amended soon to afford Nigerian ladies the same privileges and rights that the men enjoy.

You had a completely different situation from the OP.   The OP has several red flags which add up to a difficult approval process.....age difference being a major one.  It has been said that there are different levels of difficulty when describing consulates:

Low Fraud

High Fraud

Lagos

There are reasons Nigeria is considered high fraud, and this case certainly has all the earmarks of a case which will receive a great deal of scrutiny.

Lest we forget  - But she pays taxes and is, hence, entitled to a visa - ON DEMAND.
How dare USCIS deny her and Mikul! 

Wonder what happened when she figured out a K1 gets returned to die / no appeal

[NigeriaorBust 4,087]

    This woman you want to marry probably could have been born the same time as your mother.  The consulate there knows how people snag victims online and lure them into relationship as a path to the US.  What you posted so far seems like you have read  "How to get a US visa via an duping old woman for dummies"    It all sounds put on and artificial.  You try to create fake proof and it looks just like what it is.   IVF is only available to those whose bodies support it.  I doubt any reliable clinic would approve it for a woman that old , I guess in Nigeria you can pay to get anything done but you get what you pay for.  Why would anyone bring a child into the world they may not live to see grow up?   Adoption ?   You would have to get married, she would need to claim Nigerian citizenship through that marriage and then start the adoption process.  By that time she will be busy chasing grandchildren from her current children.  

   If you want so much to come to the US , go get a good education and come on those merits.  I know many Nigerian engineers and doctors here.  I also know many Nigerians that came on the backs of US citizens and dumped them and they are almost universally disappointed at the lack of opportunities they find in the US.    Many of them play happy to save face back home but most of them are not living the life they thought they would find here.  Seriously rethink your plans,  slow up and think about what life will be in 20 years when you are still active and your wife may be in a walker.

I've noticed that you urge some OPs to invite their fiance/spouse to join the forum. I think that's a great idea and would really make some of these threads even greater.

It is often the visa-desperate foreign SO that comes here with only basic English skills to try to get info.  Many times, the USC is inexplicably absent from this entire process.

Well more than a dozen noncontributory posts have been removed.

The OP has received ample advice regarding his situation.
