Anti Fraud Unit

[sab 0]

Hello Everyone!

I just wanted to update my information with you all. My fiance's Administrative Processing was completed one month ago and when I contacted my Congress woman, she got the reply from the embassy that our case was sent to "Anti Fraud Unit" 'cuz the person who interviewed my fiance was not satisfied by the answers of my fiance.

Now what shall i do? I am very dissappointed. Please advise. It has been 11 weeks since the interview. I have a baby too. whenever i see him i feel like crying. How long do i have to wait? any ideas? what happens next?

Oh dear, you do have a tough road ahead of you. There is so much that you need to do now. First, contact your local congressman and/or senators office. Tell them your story and ask for their help in watching that it is processed timely. Also ask them to contact the consulate and see what the reason is for sending this to the fraud unit.

Now, did you SO get a 221g? If so, what does it say? I have a feeling it is being sent back to homeland securities.

Depending on your answers will make the difference on how you proceed.

I am also very interested to find out what happened. Your timeline says you were issued a 221g stating administrative processing. Now, your congressman's office says that it has been sent to anti-fraud unit? Have you contacted the State Department to find out what is listed in the DOS computer system?

Morocco4ever is right, you have much to do...but the first step is finding out what is going on. Please respond as to what the 221g actually says and we can at least point you in the right direction to get some answers and a plan of what steps you need to take.

There are many of us in the exact same boat as you, and we have information which can help you move in the right direction. Hang in there...stay strong, and know you are not alone.

Feel free to PM either me or Morocco4ever.

221g says "administrative processing" and DOS computer system says the same thing. The congress woman gave me the info that this case has been sent to anti fraud unit and they will be contacting the beneficiary after they get the report from anti fraud unit. The interviewer was not satisfied with my fiance's answers.

I just don't know. Where is this anti fraud unit? Did they give you any ideas on how long this would take? The whole thing seems weird. Keep calling and asking and good luck.

Morroc the case is still at the embassy. If they suspect fraud they will send it to a fraud unit. The unit then can investigate further, do field investigations to your home or job overseas, contact family, coworkers, neighbors and all to check on the status of the couple. They can then ask the person to come back to the embassy for a second interview. After a second interview and/ or after background checks they can issue the visa or deny it. That is why the 221g is saying it is in Administrative Processing and in a black abyss. This person is very lucky to even had any information given to their congressman. AP is total darkness until the case is decided.

That makes sense. But then why didn't they send my case to the Fraud unit instead of sending it back to the CIS? Maybe the different consulates.

Whatever the reason I hope it is resolved quickly.

Moroc it all depends on the consulate or interviewer. If the CO is in doubt he can have further investigations done before he decides to send it back to US. It all depends on the interviewer and how they handle it.
