πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬ Nigeria β†’ πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ United States

Short answer

Yes, Nigeria allows dual citizenship for individuals who acquire a second nationality by birth, while the U.S. permits dual citizenship without requiring renunciation. For a CR-1/IR-1 Spouse Visa, you will need documents like marriage certificates, proof of U.S. citizenship of the spouse, and financial support evidence. Fees vary, and processing can take several months. Always verify current rules on official government or embassy sites as requirements may change.
