Can anyone tell me what steps we should take in order for my boyfriend to come to the United States?

My boyfriend is from Nigeria we've been together for over a year now but we have never met and we would like to know if there is a way that he could come here to visit me?

Answer:
to visit all you need is a tourist visa ,,,, not a big deal if he is on the up and up ......ll
He's just using you to get the US. Don't be so gullible.
Step 1---go to Mexico

Step 2---wait until one moonless night and sneak across the border.

Step3---Hide out
All he wants is a green card, let him pay all your expenses for room and board and travel to where he is and see how that goes,,???
What is it with the question askers here - do they think we are all immigration attorneys?
Beware of the NIGERIAN scammers!
To immigrate or just to visit? If he just wants to visit all he needs is a passport. If he wants to immigrate then he will need to apply for a green card, working visa, or student visa. Whatever you do, don't marry him just so that he can get into the country. You should know him in person for at least one year before even considering anything like that.
don't listen to these morons that have answered your question. besides, none of them truly answered the freakin question anyway. i'm sure all he would need is a passport and a travel visa. is he over 18? i don't know the laws of nigeria, but he might want to make sure that he doesn't need parental permission to travel out of his country alone if he's under a certain age. i suggest that he gets in contact with the U.S. consulate in his country and they should be able to answer all your questions. hope everything works out and you guys are able to physically meet!! =)
It's very doubtful he'd get a US visa as a tourist. All he can do is apply at the US embassy and pay the $100 application fee.

More than likely, you'll have to go there if you want to meet.
I know that there's a type of visa for boyfriend or girlfriends to come over, you defenitely have to go to the USA embassy or Inmigration office they going to tell you exactly how to do it.
Suppose your boyfriend from Nigeria, was tall, blue eyes, white with freckles, speaking English (I mean English from England).would the previous pitiless answerers tell you, that he is trying to use you??
I dont think so,,,
Suppose he was coming from lets say, south africa or new Zealand..
Would they give you the same advice...??
Of course not. SOME of .them are full of racialist prejudices.others are sensible...
Worse if he is Muslim..(Oh god, they could be killers and bombers, sucidals and....) lots of rubbbish they will try to make you believe,,
Just bring him in,,,Get the proper forms from INS...
I HAVE HEARD THIS STORY MANY TIMES. BE CAREFUL THEY WILL MARRY LONG ENOUGH TO GAIN CITIZENSHIP THEN DIVORCE YOU. BUT AS FAR AS YOU QUESTION GOES- YOU HAVE TO FILL OUT ALOT OF PAPER WORK FROM IMMIGRATION AND IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 8 MONTHS TO GET IT PROCESSED FOR HIM TO COME
