Hello VJ Members,

I sadly have to inform you that my husband was denied his visa today on the basis that his mother refused to answer the investigating officers questions about our marriage. She did not answer the lady's questions because the officer did not identify herself as am embassy official and the officer was asked at least twice to identify herself and she would not. She only told my mother-in-law to answer her questions, so my MIL told her no she would not. My husband's brother was interviewed by this same woman who did answer her questions and said yes, his brother was married to a lady from the United States. He was asked why the neighbors didn't know of the marriage and he told her that they don't shout family business in the streets. The fact of the matter is that we were married in Abuja and not Lagos, so neighbors wouldn't be aware that we were married. I have contacted my congressman and I have spoken with Department of State. Department of State told me to call them tomorrow as the embassy has not updated the computer. I wanted to lodge a complaint as that is not a good reason to deny a visa, especially when you had a successful interview with another family member who said yes, he was married. If anyone else has any suggestions as to what else I can do, please feel free. I can use all the help I can get.

Thanks,

Deb

I am beside myself at this moment. I just called the embassy, and they said they are returning our petition. Would not give me an explanation as to why, just said that USICS will have to contact me. I do not know what to do. I feel like my world has come to an end. Maybe I will wake up from this nightmare and discover it was all a dream.

I was logging in to give AP VJ'rs some home of wonderful things to come for your paitience, trust and devoiton.

I am so sorry to hear your story. Please have the petitioner contact a lawyer ASAP. It is important to keep the petition at the embassy.

They said they have sent it back, they did not even tell us beforehand that they were going to. I have contacted my attorney, but it was 11pm when I got the information, so I sent him an email. That is what upset me the most, they didn't even warn us of their intentions. I am still crying. My love has tried to console me telling me we will get it done, and just be patient. I feel like I have been patient for a long time. I am even in tears as I am typing. We are holding off from telling our families until we find out why they have denied. I am planning a trip to India soon, and hopefully the USICS will not close the case before then. This is just a bump in the road that I tend to make a mountain out of it. Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate it. I try to explain to my friends and family what I am going through, and they want to understand, but deep down, you know they don't. Which is why I thank God for VJ.
