Our client, a US Citizen Petitioner, met her Nigerian fiancé online in 2013. They started their relationship, and she visited Nigeria. In 2016, the beneficiary proposed and our client decided to file a fiancé petition for her fiancé. She retained our firm to file a fiancé petition for him on April 15, 2016.
After retention, we informed our client about the necessary supporting documents to demonstrate the bona fide nature of their relationship. We helped her and her fiancé draft letters in support of the fiancé petition, and we filed the petition on April 27, 2016.
On July 22, 2016, little after three months of filing, the I-129F fiancée petition was approved.

The interview went well, and on November 14, 2016, the U.S. Embassy issued his K-1 visa.
