Does anypone know anything about informing DOS of any red flags before the file is sent to consulate?

According to thois article, if DOS approves the case, then the consulate can't deny a visa, because DOS knew of the red flags and approved anyway

USCIS approves petitions....not DOS. Have all that you need in evidence of the relationship/marriage for the interview.

The link you posted is not working but I know the article you refer to.

It is not DOS. You are meaning DHS ..in other words USCIS. As I said, USCIS approves petitions. NVC, where your petition goes to after approval at the USCIS service center, is DOS. As you already have your petition approved, you will now submit all evidence showing that you have a bonafide relationship/marriage at the interview. Try not to stress. Get through the NVC stage with all the various forms.......Breath

Ok cool. I just hope they don't give us any problems at the consulate. However if they do I have all the proof in the world for a bona fide relationship. Air tickets, recipts, pictures. phone records, e mails, Internet chats, the works. I hear that they also ask for information about you x (SS number, current address etc.) I have that too

Thanks for helping!!!

stacato,

You are missing a basic understanding of some things, including the article.

- Aussiewench has already pointed out the difference between DOS and DHS-USCIS.

- USCIS approves petitions, which establish that there is a relationship that qualifies one to apply for a visa. It does not establish that one qualifies for the visa.

- DOS (the consulates) determine whether or not one qualifies for a visa, an approved petition being only one of a number of requirements. If one does not meet all of the requirements, the visa can and will be denied.

- If DOS uncovers information indicating that the petition should not have been approved then the visa will be denied for that reason and the petition will be returned to the USCIS for reconsideration. This one reason for visa denial is the point of the article that you cite - make sure that the USCIS has all relevant information so that there is no basis for questioning the approval of the petition. The article does not address other reasons for denying the visa application.
