Marriage interview for ethnic couples is worse? YES OR NO?

[panamania79 2]

Anything out of the ordinary may make an officer scrutinize something more(even if they shouldn't), but my husband is Indian and I am white and we didn't have any issues due to being a mixed couple at any time during the process.

IF PLACES LIKE FRANCE, CANADA, SCANDINIAVIA, ENGLAND, SWEDEN HAD CASES BEING DENIED MORE OFTEN THAN OTHERS, IMMIGRATION WOULD REFORM THE SYSTEM AND MAKE IT BETTER FOR THE "EUROPEAN" AREAS. ASIAN AREAS ARE ACCEPTABLE TO IMMIGRATION BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT AFRICAN OR THEY ARE CLOSER TO THE WHITE RACE. BUT AS LONG AS PLACES LIKE SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA ARE CONSIDERED "HIGH-FRAUD" AREAS EVERYTHING IS FINE. LESS BLACK AND MORE WHITE EUROPEANS COMING INTO THE COUNTRY IS THE IDEA. BECAUSE LIKE THE PEOPLE AT STORMFRONT, THE GOVT. BELIEVES THAT EUROPEAN PEOPLE OR ANYONE CLOSE ENOUGH TO EUROPEANS ARE ACCEPTABLE, BUT ANYONE "TOO DARK" OR FROM AFRICA MUST BE A FRAUD AND MUST BE DENIED. "WHITE" RELATIONSHIPS ARE CONSIDERED NORMAL AND PEOPLE WITH TEXTURED HAIR AND FLESH COLOR ARE NOT CONSIDERED NORMAL IN THE EYES OF THESE BIGOTS.

I know maybe this argument won't work with you, but I am trying to be civil. India and many other Asian countries have been considered high fraud. Any country that has had a HIGH number of fraud cases will be labeled as high fraud. It doesn't matter what the skin color of the people are. You need to do true research about how a country became labeled as high fraud before you jump to all these conclusions. Yes racism still is in the US, I am not going to say it's not. Whoever acts racist is a dirt bag. But that doesn't mean you can jump to all the conclusions you have. I think you are just frustrated with the whole process, and we've been there, knowing the govt decides whether your loved one can come here or not. It's stressful. And I saw other ppl say it, but it's not just white ppl working in the embassies and consulates.

If you have such a problem with being black- why not bleach your skin like Michael Jackson does?

Yikes! On second thought don't.

You may be crazy but we don't want you looking all freaky deaky as well.

Where do you get your information from??????

Have you actually read anything on VJ?

Your whole rationale is a bunch of BS.

There are plenty of couples from Subsaharan Africa that get approved with no problems, and yes, this includes interracial couples. Same as there are some that are scrutinized a little bit more. Others have already mentioned that there are some Asian countries that are considered high fraud.

And don't get me started on the heartache that so many who have spouses in the Middle East go through. Your SO is RUSSIAN. Its a cake walk compared to what the MENA ladies have to go through. I suggest you read their stories about extra processing and some of the attitude their SOs get at the interview before you come here crying racism and whatnot.

If you're trying to get your SO here then I suggest you stip typing and start reading so that you can avoid some of the extra scrutiny you may get at the interview.

And please, for the love of everything holy, stop acting so damned ignorant. Not everything is going to be about you and your race. If you can't look past it, how do you expect others to?

Yeah, what he said!

zee bee is a she.

If it is such a breeze for inter racial subsarahan couples why are Joseph and I in visa hell . And Deb she is white married to a black. And look at the others that get AP. Almost always white couples. Lagos is one of the most biased places to go through. The embassy is more corrupt than the 419 artist they want to make us all think we are involved with. The Nigerians in Lagos are about as prejudiced as they get. They don't like their men marry white women, that is why so many of us end up in visa hell. But balck couples never see it when white people get the shaft.

I never said it was a breeze...I said that there are plenty that get through with no problems. At every consulate there are going to be couples that have problems and those that do not.

Lagos is a hard consulate to go through, as it is well known. But I am not sure that you can generalize and say that they do not like their men marrying white women. There are a lot of interracial couples that have gone through Nigeria that have had no issues whatsoever.

As for black couples not seeing what the white people go through, I urge you to read my timeline and read my story and see what we had to go through. My fiance and I come from the same area of Ghana, are from neighboring tribes and speak the same language. I can relate to what other couples who have been through AP, are waiting, etc etc have gone through. And, as my memory recalls, there were at least 2 other couples (from Ghana) that had their interviews in Decemeber 2007 and June 2008, both same race couples, that were put in AP or denied (but they managed to overturn it and get the visa).

This is not a Black/White issue. It happens all over. I have friends, first generation USCs, that have had a hell of a time bringing a spouse from back home.

This is an immigration issue.
