Casa Interview Techniques

[soul_encounter 0]

Good Morning

I know 2 US women whose moroccan fiances had interviews this week neither know each other. Both men reported having to place their finger into a little plastic thing with wires that ran into an adjoining room, after being seated and before questioning began. Neither were told what this thing was for. First they were asked routine easy questions, fiances name, their names, where they lived, etc. Then a few more detailed questions about the relationship, and ended with having the man Swear, he truly loved his fiance and that was his sole intent in this visa, to be with his fiance. After which the CO left the room, went into the adjoining room where there was another officer, talked a bit and then came back. Now, the second of these men, said when the lady was speaking with him she was so nice during the questioning. When she came back, she was rude, short, and yes he was denied. (japanese lady btw)

Now, my question is, has anyone ever heard of the Embassy using polygraphs for the interview? Is this standard, new, or could that have been something all together different? What do you all think? And I had always heard a polygraph could be admissable into court as a means of showing innocence, but not guilt, could be wrong on that too though.

It raises many interesting questions in my mind, i'm not exactly sure how these things work, but I do know a lot of the guys go into an interview feeling as if they have already commited a crime of sorts just for having fallen in love with a woman outside their country and filing a petition. How would that effect a polygraph regardless of how that guy truly feels for his fiance?

I met the couple who was denied when I was in morocco, I had no doubt of his love for her, I saw him crying after she left and heartbroken missing her.

How do you feel about the possibility of polygraphs being used in interview? Are we confident in these machines judging our love? Not sure how I feel about it right now. Will post more later, have a great day all.

Sounds like the digital fingerprint scanner.

Yes, I am sure that was what it was. My husband had to do that.

Do tell what was the reason for the denial? Do they need any help? If they want to prevent their case from being returned to USCIS, they must act very quickly.

I am sure they are all in shock, but action must be taken right away!!

You guys are probably right, it is just so hard to trust them with all these horror stories. Fingerprinting is not so bad though. She doesn't have the letter yet, he does and scan wasn't working well, so no word on why yet exactly. He did miss a question about her ex husbands name and an interpreter was called in, so his understanding of the questions was limited. I know she is 11 years older... but all is speculation for now. She did contact her senator and they asked for all her case information to be overnighted to them saying to her "with morocco supporting lebanon and things getting uglier there, we expect casas interviewing to become even stricter."

Will update as I know more, if anyone has any advice for me to pass on, please do

Section 221 G which prohibits the issuance of a visa to anyone whose application does not comply with the provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act or regulations issued pursuant thereto.

Not extremely informative

[sarah and hicham 3]

I'm not sure what that means... did he ask?

[sarachid 0]

I wonder if it depends on the interviewer.... Rachid just talked witht the lady.. she did not get my income information... she just asked when we met, how we met, the only thing that almost messed us up is the fact that my e-mail name has changed so much in 2 years... but sorry Rachid did not have any experience with the finger thing...

Have you heard any more as to the reason for the denial? I am so intersted in what the findings of the CO were.

it's way too early in the game to start worrying... casa seems unpredictable at this point, we're all hoping for a smooth ride... inch'allah, yours will be too! keep your chin up and stay on top of your case...

To me it seems like if you don't have ANY red flags, it's pretty hard for them to deny you... although sometimes they seem to be wayyy off...
