Visa Refused due to Labor Certification

Here is the other case that I was referring to: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...p;#entry2133982

I think it would be best if you actually viewed the papers he was handed. From the best I can figure this "form" simply lists their reasons. What's on the one they gave him?

Yes, he scanned the refusal paper and it listed this with the x marked next to Labor Certification and below that it states the form to refer to. I am almost positive that the CO is basing this on the fact that we should have filed a marriage visa since the K 1 was just for fiance. But we are not legally married, religiously only and that marriage is not recognized.

Didn't they give him the form to refer to?

No, that form was listed as something to refer to. But it was not given to him at all.

Strange, because I can't find the actual form anywhere.

Well, he got a letter by dhl from the embassy today and I thought it may be the form that we are supposed to refer to. But, it was a letter stating that they are returning the petition back to USCIS and that they are taking no further action until they hear back from USCIS. The reason for doing so is that they do not believe that the relationship is true and valid. Well, that for sure has nothing to do with a Labor Certification. I also have looked online and a K1 visa applicant is exempt from the Labor Certification. So, I am not sure at all why they gave him this refusal letter yesterday.

Hi, he was called to come into the embassy today and was given a refusal letter stating this :

Section 212(a)(5)(A)(i) Labor Certification

See Form DSL-851 A for further details.

Based on this explanation... http://www.expertlaw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31878

...I'd say they've judged him to be a potential danger to the USA. He is likely to have a clue as to why.

So Labor Certification is a person who is a danger to the USA?

Please read the information about the DSL-851 A provided at the link given. He was referred to DSL-851 A for further details. Those are the futher details.

I read it, but it doesnt seem to answer our denial. I was told on the phone by the consular that he was refusing the visa because he just wanted it for immigration purposes and he stated all the red flags to me. On the other hand my congressman was given another reason as to why he was being refused and this was not mentioned at all. He was called to come back to the embassy after the initial interview 8/3, we both, thinking that they were giving him another interview made sure of him to take more proof since I was told the validity of the relationship over the phone. Well, I will keep asking around and stay in touch with my congressman. I did see another case on here about the marriage and K1 beind denied under this same clause. We were married religiously and were told that our marriage was not recognized, hence I filed the K1 visa petition. It seems this is where the CO was pointing, from reading the other post. Thanks again

well i heard its okay if u had orfay marrige and u still can make k1 visa and cantmake k3 and if they ask in the interview about it u can say yes we had orfey marrige
