USCIS

This might be a stupid question, but does the USCIS ever really decline appliaction if you have met all criteria. ie: meeting in the last 2 years, all forms filled out correctly, and being free to marry. From what i read on here it just seems that the waiting is the anxiety at this step, but not being worried about being refused. Like i said this might be a dumb question

Thanks

If you meet the criteria for the petition, your petition will be approved.

A petition is a not a visa and not a guarantee of a visa. Only consulates issue or deny visas.

No, unless you have a criminal background especially domestic abuse or child abuse; they you may get held up in endless processing.

Now, having the visa approved at the Embassy is a totally different story. For that stage, yes petitions to get denied.

If all the above is in order and the petitioner has no Adam Walsh Act related criminal record, (sex crimes against children) it's rare to see a petition denied. Petition approval is the easy part. Lots of approved petitions result in denied visas.

USCIS does not issue visas.
