Could someone tell me if america is letting people from nigeria in this country? My friend wants to marry her b/f and bring him here. How hard is it for nigerians?

I think Nigeria is probably considered the highest fraud consulate, which means that relationships are put through a good deal of scrutiny.

You might want to post here. There are some couples going through Nigeria and they can give you a better idea of what they went through.

I have seen quite a few members on this site deal with the US Consulate in Nigeria with out problems.

There are countries where fraud is almost non-existent, and one can easily obtain a visa. There are countries that have a high incidence of fraud, and the Consuates will be very careful in issuing visas after alot of background checks and proofs. And there is Nigeria........

what other consulates are considered 'high fraud'? is albania one of them?

As a loose rule, the more economically depressed the country, the higher the chance of fraud.

[BabyBlueSusie 1]

judging by that rule, id safely say that albania can be put in the 'yes' column

WORKED FOR US!!!!! There are quite a few who have gotten visas thru the Lagos Embassy in the past year... Visajourney is the best place to find all the needed information!!!!! I like Zeenusah's and YuAndDan's suggestion all I can say is read, read and do more reading. GOOD LUCK to your friend which ever route they desire to take.

We made it through but it was not easy for us we had a few bumps. Others have sailed through with no trouble at all, and still others have had LOTS of trouble, with Nigeria one never can tell what will happen. Good luck to your friend what ever the decision.
