US Immigration from Nigeria

A friend of mine got married in 2019. They filed for the spouse visa in 2019 and things had been moving along in the process. They recently submitted all required documents and are awaiting a decision from NVC.

Her husband filed for a tourist visa in 2018 and stated after the urging from an agent that he was married. Problem is that he was never married to anyone else other than my friend. He was denied the tourist visa due to lack of ties to home country in 2018. Will that cause an issue for this current visa application? Will the interviewer review a previous application?

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Does the USA embassy in Nigeria and USCIS accept marriages certificates issued in local government or do we have to go to ikoyi. Am a united state citizen and my spouse stays in Abeokuta in Ogun state. We both prefer getting married in one of the local government in Abeokuta rather than ikoyi. Please I need advice. We don t wanna make a costly mistakes

Hi,

My I129-F application for my Fiancee has a NOA2 approval date of December 13th 2019, and this was purportedly sent to the National Visa Center. As at today 1/20/2020, I still haven't heard anything from NVC by way of confirmation or any thing of the sort. A check on the ceac website returns a "No record found" response. I kinda now think I don't know what is going on, and can't help wondering if anyone here can suggest any insight based on specific or general experience as to the delay. Shouldn't an online query on NVC return some form of match at the minimum even after all these time? I have attempted contacting NVC through askNVC. There is a general response from the website that responses to such inquiries as this could take up to 2 months. Given that USCIS approvals are normally for a period of 4 months, out of which 5 weeks is already gone now, shouldn't I be concerned? Some advice regarding this will be highly appreciated. The original filing location was Lewisville, TX which was then assigned to csc. Fiancee is based in Nigeria.
