Nothing about this is easy.

That's for sure...which is why you can reduce the anxiety and stress from it by having faith that if you did everything right, you will be fine in the end.

You can't just go there, lay your evidence on the CO's desk and say, "Here's all the proof you need." The beneficiary has the burden of demonstrating that the document evidence is consistent with her explanation of the relationship and answering the CO in a way that helps him/her determine that. It's best to go into that interview with poise, sincerity, openness and honesty - to leave a good impression with the CO.

I second that. USCIS makes the final decision, they need to be impressed. You are at their mercy.

yes, I know we are at thier mercy. I think we have done everything to try to impress them. This is everything to us. Its very hard when your future is in the hands of someone else's opinion. It not right for another person to decide whether or not two people love each other and want to get married. That is a decission that only the two people that are getting married can decide. That is all am trying to say. This is America we dont let others decide for us whom we will or will not marry. At least thats the way it is the last I heard. I appeciate the replies. Thank you very much

Again, I understand your frustration, but this is an immigration matter so it does matter what the USCIS thinks about the relationship...whether it is a bonafide relationship or not. It would be a great world if nobody committed fraud, but that's not reality. Hang in there and hopefully your visa will be approved upon further review.

No, its not fair that another person/agency should cast judgement on us and determine our happiness, but thats the FACTS, and due to fraud (which is plentiful) they have to be suspicious.

Its really hard to say what an individual is thinking. I really dont beleive it is our age difference that is causing this reveiw, but it might be. it just hard to say because they really dont tell you anything. They just leave you wondering/waiting it really really stressful. But am sure everybody knows that. Nothing about this is easy.

Hang in there man, it'll work out soon enough.

I've noticed from reading posts that a lot people here think the interview is a mere formality...it is not. You can't just go there, lay your evidence on the CO's desk and say, "Here's all the proof you need."

It could have not been said any better than this....... Great advice Steven!

I wish you both luck in getting your Visa... Hopefully, you won't be in Doc. Verification long..... Hang in there and you will be together before you know it!

I am 54 and my fiancee is 28. Does age difference matter?

What further review could they possibly want? They didn't ask us for any further documents.

Please Advise

The age difference could have raised a red flag. Someone else mentioned this in a previous post recently, I cant remember what the thread was. They're probably wondering what you could possibly have in common.

Friend of mines fiancee recently "sailed thru" the interview. He is 63 and she is 23!!

Looks like USEM is just checking documents. Tell her to enjoy the time with her family and friends as she'll probably be "leaving on a jet plane" soon.

I'm in the same boat as you. My case is under AP since the day after the interview on 12 Mar 08. I haven't seen my girl since 15 Apr 07...but we talk on the phone 3 times a day to keep our strong relationship going. Good luck to you.

It may just be the result of the document verification. We went through the same situation. I paid for the document verification fee 3 weeks prior to my interview but unfortunately, the result was not in the embassy during my interview. I git white slip for DV. A week after my interview, Grace at USEM told me that they already have the result of my DV. They told my fiance to call after 2 weeks because a consular will have to review my case. My fiance call after 5 days (not after 2 weeks). He was then told that my visa is ready for release to Delbros.

I advice that you call USEM from time to time. You may get an answer. Best wishes! Believe me, I know the feeling of waiting for the unknown. God bless you!

Thanks so much for the reply, I enjoy reading the experiences and its very helpful to know that some people are in the same boat as you and have ending up with a good result. Yes I will keep calling. I guess once a week is enough.

Thanks again
