Take both marriage certificates to your interview explain that you had your religious wedding before your civil wedding. Also take pictures you took on both weddings to your interview. And your wedding invitation with you. 

He should go to National population commission in Nigeria. 

You and your fiance need to write a letters stating your intent to marry within 90 days of your fiancee or fiance coming into United states. 

Two separate letters one from the beneficiary and another letter from the petitioner. I have attached samples of letters of intent. Please draft it to match your own. 

It looks like Nigerian citizens who live in other countries are getting interviews and visa for CR1. Someone I know have an up coming scheduled interview  in another consulate not in Nigeria 1st week of December. I see another  timeline for Nigerian in  Armenia. This is depressing. 

My husband received the same email today. This is too much and frustrating at the same time. 

I sent emails to US embassy Lagos, they wrote us back with multiple confusing emails. Today my husband received this email.

Not required.

It's required, my friend recieved Notice of more information from immigration services requesting for that and other information. For K1 visa very much required. 

I don't think you should be worried. Because green card holders shouldn't be out US for more than a year, 6 months  is still okay. The only time you should be worried is when you fill for citizenship. They will ask you if you have stayed outside the US for more than 6 months within the last one year. 

I filled my electronically, the print and scan with an app on my phone called "Clear scan" save it on my phone then upload. 

Yes you do need letter of intent to marry. Also a one letter telling them how you met your fiance. And how many times you both have seen in person. Make sure you include itineraries or copy of your stamp passport page that shows entry into that country visited to see your fiance.
