What country?  Was the marriage quick?  How many in person visits?  I would agree, if there were no previous visa attempts, it looks like the CO does not believe the marriage is real, but that is just a guess.  Talk to your husband and see if he can remember any specific questions he was asked at the interview along with his answers.

 

Good Luck!

How do i make him believe it we showed them conversations , pictures , Phone logs  i feel like i don't know what else to give

Need to visit your spouse once or twice a year even if it's just a short amount of time, showing you guys are traveling together. money transfer to support, having a credit card with their name on it, opening a joint bank account in their country, etc...

 

You'll get a NOIR from USCIS in about 6-10 months. Then you have 30 days to submit all the documentation back to them for review. 

 

How many interviews did he do before getting the revoke?

It was revoked because they think it’s a green card marriage.   
 

You may need to move to Nigeria and create a marriage that looks legit if you ever want him to immigrate.  
 

Are you a lot older than him?

I notice OP won’t have a lot of other options if they don’t give her spouse a visa, and she wants to stay married.

Your NOIR or NOID will take about 6 months to arrive to u

One, you can respond to with actual proof that the  issues bought up by the CO are not valid 

The bene is suppose to know everything about u but that is just about impossible so if the CO said "when did someone die?" or "when did the USC divorce?"  If u have an email to show u told him and he said ""I will probably never remember that"  it suffices

NOIR OR NOID require actual proofs not just a say-so response

 

I did an appeal ($110)  when i receive the paper (form enclosed to do the appeal) It was well over a year till the immigration court

No lawyer for my appeal

the court responded with my notice that the marriage was declared bona fida 

BIG BUT  the court said i could reapply

 

I would not do the appeal if i had know i could reapply and respond to the NOID with a new application

 

What u do need to understand is Nigeria is well known for having false documents and u can not overcome those if any were submitted.

 

u may need to spend some quality time in Nigeria to help your case

I added my spouse to tax returns,  deed to my house ,  my bank account and a utility bill to show we were starting commingling finances.

there is a good list on following site that lists things that make CO think marriage is fraud/ read them to see if u fit 

 

https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/red-flags-that-make-uscis-suspect-marriage-fraud.html

 

Whatever u do,  it will take time and test your patience so u need prayers and strength

Good luck to u

 This is very important and could have been the reason for sure.. ( just a guess based on my fiancee's interview in Ghana.. they made sure she had original documents.. her interview was less then 10 minutes)

Another thing I’ve noticed over the years, which I find super interesting, is that a lot of these marriages win’t be happening once the U.S. green card is off the table…..🤔

There’s absolutely nothing strange or interesting about that. Contrary to the myth out there, many marriages happen for a reason other than love.

 

For example there are many people who wouldn’t marry their spouse if they are one eyed, had no legs, don’t have a college degree, have poor credit, are HIV+, etc. etc. Another reason many people get married, particularly in poorer economies is economic reasons. People all over the world from antiquity have married for economic reasons.
 

Many of my Indian classmates had arranged marriages to partners they didn’t know until a week or two before the marriage. Very obviously love was not the main factor and yet most of those marriages survived and thrived to the end.

 

Westerners may find that strange or claim to find it strange, however there’s nothing strange about it and to me it’s just hypocrisy or lack of understanding how things work in this world.
 

Economic opportunity happens to be one reason and it’s as legitimate as the next. It’s nobody’s business except the two people involved if the precipitating reason for the “love” is economic opportunity.
