visa DENIED

[mbhatti 0]

well after two years of separation and 5 months of waiting for the 13th of September to come.

His visa was denied! I still cannot believe that they think our marriage was a sham.

I dont know what else they could have wanted, I really think his interview was unfair.

Please tell us the whole story.

I'm sorry to hear that. Perhaps there are avenues of appeal for you?

[MaryandMian 1]

Sorry to read that your case was deniedl. I do know that the case should come back to the US and you will have a written letter stating the grounds for denial and if you wish to appeal instructions on how to proceed. Any appeals will be made via DHS. Good luck.

What were the reasons for the denial?

I am fairly confident that a Consular Officer's decision is un-appealable, unless you are disputing an interpretation of a law-they will not dispute facts. That would be done through an Advisory Opinion with the Department of State, and considering they just denied ours for no good reason, I wouldn't recommend you waste your time with that...

I'd also like to know more about what happened. If you say that your marriage was legitimate, then I'd really like to hear the reasoning behind why they denied his visa. It would seem extremely unfair, based on what you are telling us , not to mention emotionally devastating , for a consulate to do so.

Was it an I-130 that you filed on his behalf?

Hmmm, I smell a troll, or at least some deception.

[Ladylethal 12]

Yeah, visa denials on these sites are rare so we really like to know more about them when they happen.

More information would be nice! No one can help if you join, post once and never return.

hard to sympathize with you without knowing any details. no one can offer any suggestions without knowing why it happened.

ok, first ... thanks everyone who replied, second, sorry i wasnt more specific. well here goes the whole story.

we met on the net, we talked for almost 1year and then i went to pakistan in july of 2004, we married in sept of 2004, i came back to the usa in oct 2004. in feb of 2005 i filed the I-130, by march of 2006 he had his ds-230 and did his medical and police certs. he sent his papers to the embassy and got a letter in april 2006 that his interview was scheduled for sept. 13th. He went to the interview with papers, letters pictures cards from my family, and he knows everything about me and my family.

The first person to talk to him was a woman, and she asked about my daughter, (she was living here with me at the time i filed the 864) then they asked him about my other children and where did they live, he told them. then they asked him my childrens phone numbers, he told them he did not know. they asked him for my parents phone number, he told them he did not know. they wanted to know why my children did not live with me and they wanted to know why my daughter lived in Georgia. (I am thinking they were thinking the country and not the state) they asked him about her job, he told them she did not have a job. they asked him how does she eat, how does she live, he told them she lived with her boyfriend. he asked how long we dated before we married, he told them we talked for 11 months on the net. they asked him what kind of car did i drive, he told them a 96 ford escort. they asked him, how many times i was married, he said two times. they asked him for divorce papers for 1st divorce, he told them my first husband was dead and the only thing i had was a paper from his funeral, he told them that i did not have divorce papers from 1st husband, they told him he was lying ,, they said that they had divorce papers from 1st husband, he told them that all he had was the funeral paper. ( i did not send them my 1st divorce papers because i did not have them and the lawyer no longer had a copy) they asked him again why my daughter was living in georgia and why she did not live with me, he told them that all my children had families of their own and lived with their families. i am not sure what else they asked him but they told him that he had only married me to get immigrant visa and that he was denied, he asked them WHY ? and they said because you are 30 and she is 49. and right now that is all i know, when he is able to talk about it more i will know more of the questions they asked him.
