I have a girlfriend who lives in Nigeria whom I have known for about 8 years now, how can I get her here to marry?

You can ask your friends this weekend if anyone has had a good experience with a particular immigration lawyer, and then go see her Monday. You can also start thinking of safe ways of meeting you girlfriend again and spending a vacation with her.Some place you can both travel to without problems, and then spend some quality time together to make sure that marriage is the right way forward. The service are paranoid about people who marry to get an immigration benefit and they look closely at all the people who really did marry with a long term commitment just in case..... so you have to be prepared.
