DHS vs. Consulates/Embassies

[WantingMyHubby 0]

I was told that the US consulates/embassies do not have access to the same database as DHS. For example, if a POE wrote general notes on a denial, isn't that for DHS purposes only? On the other hand, if they officially charge you with misrepresentation or any other violation, the consulate/embassy would see that off the bat and THEN you would have a problem...is that right??

I guess this worries me because when I was denied, I was completely clueless about the visa process. I was treated pretty badly by the supervisor, but I ended up speaking with the investigator/prosecutor and he said he believed I was telling the truth. He said he could tell that I was naive about the visa process and that I meant no harm...that I was just a woman in love!

My question is this - if you're at the interview and they see on the DS-230 that you were denied, exactly what information do they have access to BASED on that denial? Will they only see if you have violations/charges against you, or will they see every little detail entered by DHS?

Denial of entry to the USA as a visitor, has no bearing on an application for an immigrant (CR-1/IR-1), or NON-Immigrant (K-Visa).

Note: They will know about this due to USCIS processing the I-130, USCIS is part of DHS, so make sure you answer truthfully on the DS-120 where it asks: "32. Have you ever been refused admission to the United States at a port-of-entry? (If answer is Yes, please explain) about being denied a visa."
