Fiance did not get visa b/c of insufficient evidence

[LIFE'SJOURNEY 970]

Look, these one visit a year, is very hard for the CO to believe that you'll have a true relationship. You are from Jamaica, so it seems that you would be visiting more often if your relationship is that of two people who are madly in love and looking to spend the rest of their lives together. You have the income and you are not burden with children, so there do not seems to be an obstaculars in your way from visiting the love of your life.

You'll burden of proof does seems alittle weak.

He said he did not get a slip and they are sending the case back to the US.

4clife did he say what questions they asked him??..did he know all the info abt you??...thats crazy, the law says you only need to show proof of meeting once. i would love to know wht they were going by as not enough!!

i do agree with lifes journey ..the visits are kind of sketchy, but then again you guys have a long history, and no one knows ur financial situation. just b/c you make enough money doesnt mean you dont have issues. was the phone log extensive?? or just once in a while?

Hi everyone!! I need your help. My fiance had his interview today, but did not get his visa because they said he did not have enough evidence. I know my fiance before I came to the US 11 years ago. I went back in 2003 to see him and had picture we took in that year, however, we prove up for no apparent reason,long distance was a challenge. Recently we decided to get back together and take this relationship to another nothch. I visited him July of last year and he proposed to me. I went back to see him April of this year. Financially I'm good b/c I made 35k, plus I have don't have any children. I don't know what's their reason for saying he did not have enough evidence.

They told him they are sending the case back to the State, so for those that can help, what happen in a situation like this?

Thank You!!

In my personal opinion and recent experience - longer you know the person, harder interview you get. Look at it different way. As you said - you know him for 11 years, in 2003 you met, broke up. Then 7 years later you meet again, and decided to get married. It is perfectly fine, but does he know major happenings in your life during this 11 years? Something that can be easily found through reports, court records, etc.? When people, who just met, dated for a while and decided to get married, but don't know some stuff from each other life - it is more or less normal, since they don't know each other for so long. Not in your case. They expect him to know you, to know what was in your life, at least, from 2003 till now. Whole interview my fiancee had (and we know each other since school) was about our life before I-129F, they were asking her questions about me, and were expecting correct answers. As I think, when you know each other for such long time, expect some grilling during an interview.

how can they determ what is real and what isn't when at the same time you proved that you have a past together.

Because they can. It is entirely at the discretion of the consulate and its officers. It is your responsibility to prove you meet the qualifications for the visa requested. You did not.

They also have access to information that you do not, so you may want to ask your fiance if there is anything he may know of.

Your post scares me because I have only had one visit with my babe. Mainly becuase of my job and my extreme fear of flying. So in 2 years I have seen him once. Wow! scary.

It seems that in the few months I have been on here, I have seen Jamaica deny several. They must be very picky.

My fiancee was approved in Jamiaca and they didnt take any evidence from her regarding the relationship because everything they ask her she answers perfectly, so i dont think it has so much to do with evidence and more to do with answering questions accurately and in some form of depth. Examples would be How did you meat my girl didnt just say at a restaurant she told a story of what we did over a 3 day period. Some say dont say to much but when it comes to certain questions i believe some details are needed and not to be cut and dry just my opinion.

Isn't once enough? You are really scaring me

[rachael74 0]

Yes! At least once visit enough. That what d law say

[dap 5]

I just talk to future husband and he said that tons of people get approved in jamaica off one visa. I think that the OP needs to speak with their significant other and see what questions were asked and what was responded.

I feel better now.

Thanks all.

You are confusing two diferent things..

The Petition and the Visa Application.. It is completely diferent standard of proof.. For the Petition (The I-129-F) one meeting qualifies you to petition for the visa, and approval of the I129-f.. It has nothing to do with the the Visa Application and the interview.. The next step, after the Petition is approved, is to apply for the visa and prepare for the interview which is where you will need convince the Counselor Officer at the Embassy,

during the Interview, that the relationship is genuine..

The objective for the interview at the Embassy, is to prove the relationship is genuine.. Be prepared to show how you relationship is absolutely genuine to someone who believes that we are all scammers..

The individual Embassies and the Individual CO's have a lot of discretion.. Each Embassy seems to have a diferent set of standards in what consitutes a genuine relationship and what red flags are.. In PI, this may not be an issue, but the same case, and same circumstances, in another country may very will seem suspicious..

It happened to my K1 petition last year too. the deny base on my visit to my wife only 5 days, no engagement ceremony. Base on my experience, you got to front load lots of evidence when you filed for K1 at USCIS. For my case, the deny was on November 2010, I have to wait 4 months for the petition return back to USCIS. however, when the case got to USCIS, it was ex expired because the K1 is only 4 months period for visa. USCIS told me to file new form at my cost. I filed I-130 form on March 2011. My wife will have the interview on this coming November 16, 2011 at Ho Chi Minh city. You have to wait for the case back to USCIS. you might appeal with the deny but as I told you by the time your case get back to USA it will be automatically expired, Good luck for your new file. make sure you have to write your timeline more detail, collect all of your evidences together with your new file to USCIS otherwise they will send you RFE request for more Bona fide marriage relationship. I file I-130 on March 2011, I received RFE for bona fide relationship evidences because USCIS agent told me my wife was approved for K1 by their agency but the CONSULATE at HO CHI MINH city deny base on the evidences we provided are not real at our claimed relationship.
