  1. you are joking right? you ever heard of this thing called a 'scam'?
  2. You want to marry a person you have never met? That is a big mistake. Grandpa
  3. He wants your money and bank account . A scam .
  4. The chances of him getting a tourist visa are very slim ... The chance of your relationship being a scam is very high ... You will have to actually meet before you can proceed further it would be safer to meet in a neutral country .. but you will have to pay for that ..guaranteed ...
  5. Am Nigerian too who lives here in the US, my advice to you is that I have seen people from different countries today who are happily married, if that love is for real why not go ahead and file for a fiance visa for him without marrying him yet. But if the love is too good to be true, please get out of it. Do not send any money to him except you are convinced it's not a scam.
  6. He may with a tourist visa. But what are the chances him getting a visa? Why not you going to Nigeria and meet him personally than decide if he is the right person to spend the rest of your life with you? You will be glad if you did so.
  7. well, he won't be eligible for a tourist visa if he intends to come over, marry you and stay forever. you can't file a fiance petition for him if the two of you have never personally met. on the other hand, you could go there, marry him, return and then file an I-130 immigrant petition for him. wouldn't hurt you to see where he's coming from.
  8. You cannot get a fiance visa for anyone you have never met in person. That's the first requirement. So you have to go to Nigeria or meet in another country, show proof that you have been together (photos, travel receipts), then come home and file for the K1 fiance visa. Until you've actually met, this will not be approved But are you crazy? Sorry but you would really consider marrying someone you have NEVER met? You only know the persona he is presenting to you online. You have no idea what he's like the other 23 hours of the day, how he treats the women around him, how he is around his family, or even if you have chemistry. Go visit him in Nigeria and spend time there. Get to know his family, get to know his friends, see him in his environment to see what sort of person he really is, not just the person he presents to you I spent over 6 months chatting with an English guy working in Hong Kong and thought he was perfect. But when he finally came to London and we met, it didn't work out. Both of us had built up such an unrealistic, idealised view of each other that the reality was a real let down. I'm not saying it can't work but you have to take it slow and spend A LOT of time together before you even think of marriage. There are so many cultural differences, different attitudes towards women, etc that you really need to know what you are getting into. And be careful that this is not one of the millions of romance scams being run out of Nigeria. If he's asked you to send money for any reason, it's as SCAM. Period. He will never visit you, he only wants you to keep sending money so he can buy gifts for his Nigerian wife or girlfriend. Anyone you meet online who asks you for money no matter how much or how little is always a scammer. Always
  9. you arent serious are you? You would really consider marrying somebody you never met in person? Havent you heard about all the Nigerian romance scams, almost always using people for their money or their citizenship. http://www.romancescam.com/forum/portal.php http://www.romancescams.org/ And do you have any idea about how Nigerian men treat women? Spousal abuse is very common and people think a husband has a right to hit his wife. 50% of Nigerian women are victims of domestic abuse, and it's up to 75% in certain communities http://www.afrol.com/articles/16471 - in Lagos alone 64.4% of women admitted to being beaten by a partner. Are you really willing to take that risk??? Married women basically become prisoners in their own house while the man goes out drinking with friends every night. Until you see how he acts with his mother and sisters you will never know how he is going to treat you. This sweet man online may turn into a monster when its just the two of you together so go meet him and his family and really pay attention to how he treats the women around him. And if he's grown up thinking its ok to hit a woman then he's not going to change for you
