RFE AFTER 6 MONTHS..proof of relatIonship

[Boiler 45,638]

I have not been to Albania.

I have seen it from both Yugoslavia and Corfu. Back then it was a closed state. I do know quite a bit about its history. Well the history of the area, I think Albania only dates back to WW1.

I do know it is a very high fraud location as far as US Immigration is concerned, and 80% Muslim.

If it sounds like a duck....

My dates are correct......nothing wrong

is okay, apparently by this post they have gathered im older than my husband , have children and a different religion...all that is so not true..lol..

Marjus's girl, it breaks my heart to see you subjected to anymore pain. Do not let anyone get you down. There are some wonderful people who are really out there to support you. You are already getting everything you need together to get approved. You do not worry about anything else.

I am the one with the age difference. The one thing that would make some happy, who have a problem with age differences and religious differences and spouses and finances from MENA would be if the United States would post a bulletin that says WE WILL NOT APPROVE VISAS FOR ANYONE WITH AGE DIFFERENCES, RELIGIOUS DIFFERENCES, PRIOR DIVORCES, CHILDREN FROM PREVIOUS MARRIAGES, SPOUSES AND FIANCES FROM MENA.

Each case is different and the US can not deny cases based purely on these things or they would post a notice stating this and save us all the trouble of applying for these visas.

Apologize, but I think everyone should be supportive instead of making assumptions and judgements.

actually its on paper as 80% muslim but actually most people there are no religion ..agnostic or atheist but im here for support not to discuss religion or history there is a forum for that...

Ditto...and let's make your RFE a source of helpful info for future petitioners! In the "Stupid RFE's" thread of this forum, page 13, Username: Samoray, posted all 3 pages of the Bona Fide Marriage RFE from USCIS. Maybe a moderator could type it up and make it a sticky so its easy to access. I would do it but not sure if allowed..

Just going by the published figures, which probably is what matters for the Consulate.

You did suggest I was not familiar with the area.

WE WILL NOT APPROVE VISAS FOR ANYONE WITH AGE DIFFERENCES, RELIGIOUS DIFFERENCES, PRIOR DIVORCES, CHILDREN FROM PREVIOUS MARRIAGES, SPOUSES AND FIANCES FROM MENA.

I have no idea if any of these are relevant in this case.

As a general comment, I am not sure if any of them individually are relevant, more the combination. Probably the age difference is only important if the person being sponsored is male, the other way around would be the cultural norm.

Sorry for all of your troubles. The letters do not have to be notarized, but...........if it is convenient and cheap, it certainly will not hurt. If you can wait the three weeks to get the papers from your husband and it will not jeopardize the time frame for you to get the papers back to NVC, then wait. As i have found out, more is better. Best of luck to you both.

no none of this is relevant in this case and actually the consulate does not consider albania a mena country..their words not mine..

and if they are Muslim it shouldn't be a problem. There are many Muslims from mena who get approval without any problem including me. So please dont listen to assumptions. keep your head up . and do what you have to do.

There is something wrong with those dates.

Albania falls into the MENA category so I would also think different religion with the sponsor being older, possibly divorced with children.

Boiler I mean no offense , but I think that if you are not able to give any good advise to OP, the least you could do is learn some more of the Geography and History.

Well I am not going to argue about the extent of religious observation, apart from anything else that is subjective.

So Geographical of Historically what do you have an issue with?

I do remember reading a CO's article about his postings and his time in Tirana? featured heavily.
