This is too much to even believe

[babybunny 2]

Ok guys here is an unbelievable story but I swear every word is true. My fiance and I have been on AP since Nov 15,2005. He was called in for a second interview after 8 months. We were thrilled. We were sure that this was gonna be good news for us. He attended yesterday (last night) and what transpired has to be a nightmare.

As soon as he sat down in the chair the interviewer told him. "We have investigated you for 8 months and found this to be immigration fraud".. (mind you we have known each other 4 years, with 2 of those years being in a loving relationship). My fiance was then told.."dont sit there with a shocked look on ur face, we know its fraud, cause we have proof your fiance (me) is living with someone" (#######) I have lived by myself will be 2 years the 2nd of August. Other than my teenage son coming for summer visits.......NO ONE has lived with me. And this can be easily verified. Any way ... Bala told them, I know this is a lie, I want to see your proof. To which they replied.."its her personal affair". They told him they called to my home early one morning and an Asian man answered my phone. I swear no Asian man has EVER answered my phone so where they pulled this lie from I'll never know! I cant believ that they would blatantly lie like that. They are working for our government? How can this be allowed? (But it gets worse)

After much of the same and my Bala defending our love, they finally pulled out a picture and told him.."Either you drop this case, or we will show this to your family and neighbors, and it will get ugly for you"...I swear they blackmailed him! Isnt blackmail a federal crime???? Still Bala refused to back down. He told them he loved me and he wasnt going to back down no matter what they said or done.

Now we have always been honest with the embassy and told them that Balas family knew nothing of our relationship, because they wouldnt approve. So one last time they tried again to blackmail him. he was told... "decide today,or we will go to your home and question your family and even then I wont guarntee you will get visa".. Bala told him.. give me two weeks to get out and then go and ask all you want.

Even as we speak he is on his way home....to pack his things, to give up his family, his work, to defend our love. He knows his family will deny him so he is prepared to let the embassy do as they want just so he can be with me. Isnt there something we can do about this?? 8 months they spent trying to prove us a fraud and when they couldnt find one thing they resorted to lies and blackmail? How can this be?? If anyone knows any thing ,,, anyone we can contact to voice this injustice...please please let me know.

Oh yeah and as far as all the proof we had, they would not even look them. Bala had tons of phone records, pictures of my trip there in april, copies of emails, online conversations.. names and numbers of our friends there in india who we spent time with and could verify our relationship ... his reply to balas offering them to him was "a few photos and converstations dont prove a relationship"

It may be helpful in understanding all this to know.....Im divorced, Im older than Bala (he is 30 im 44), and im Christian hes hindi.....still these are not grounds for denial nor an excuse for them to treat us this way.

But they have made up their minds...and seems they are determined to make our life hell or else give up!

This is insane! what about the picture? that is of your son. surely you have 1001 more like it. geezz...

how they know an asian man answer the phone? how they know the person comming to the house was not

building Maint. this is wicked.

I didnt miss the point...I can see exactly what is happening. You point being that they can resort to blackmail...sure they can....they can bluff all they want...try to get him to withdraw his visa petition. You guys just didnt present a convincing case nor had the chance. You set off too many red flags. Im just a realist...sorry...buts its obvious to me as an outsider. . Go there and live there for six months...that should convince them.

Ive been there twice.. two weeks last year, and 5 weeks this year. I have three sons here , three granddaughters, a grandson due any day and another granddaughter due in four weeks. I have a job, and if I remember correctly for a visa petition you must show you have means to support them..So its much easier said than done..

but thanks for the advice.

one thing. you been on AP 8 months did they not go to his family and ask about you? this is weird..

they called his family about two weeks ago.. spoke with his bro, and his sis in law, no one else was at home. AT that time they didnt mention to his bro that it was a fiance visa. But now they are blackmailing him telling him they will go to his family and let them know. He told them go ahead that he is willing to go thru anything for our love. He is preparing to leave his home permanetly on Monday. And Shon they never called my home they lied. They told him they have proof that I am living with someone here. I can prove by landlord and neighbors that I have lived here alone for nearly two years now....So how can they say they have proof to something that is a lie?

Two days later the embassy called balas home and spoke with his bro, then called him for this second interview.

Well, do you think his brother ruined all this since you two were hiding it? Also, age differences where the American woman is older than Indian man always seems to bring a denial.

We went through Chennai with no problem.

All I can say is... that sucks!

You really need to call in the infantry. Congressman, Senator, Mayor, Governor... ANYONE!!! What they are doing is WRONG! Morally and legally.

Hope somehow you can get this taken care of.

Best of luck to you two.

Wow! Sorry to hear about all your troubles. It does sound like they are setting you up for a bribe. I have a friend that married a Chinees woman a few years ago. They went into their interview for the first time and were accused of fraud. Keep in mind that he owns his own business and was able to go their and stay for months at a time, he built her family a new house and worked on their farm. They went into their first interview and he was asked for a tape of him speaking chinees for 20 minutes. He managed to stumble through that. They still put him on AR. 6 months later he went back to another interview with her. They still accused him of fraud and said he was getting paid to bring her to the states. They were put on AR for another 6 months. He contacted his Senator and managed to get another interview. When they walked in the CO, and american, told him flat out they were not going to give her a visa. He got very angry right there and finally asked the magic question, "what can I do to change your mind?" She looked him straight in the eye and said "2 thousand dollars in US $100 bills will change my mind". He said he wanted to talk to her boss. She said "Who do you think is getting this money?" He forked over the money and a week later she had the visa.

It sound like they are gonna do the same to you. You might want to go there and ask that "magic question", "what can I do to change your mind?". If they offer to take a bribe then you will know.

Hi Vicki

Sorry to hear about the horrible thing happened to you. Have you previously filed any petitions before? I hope everything will be resolved soon.
