after the interview

[ATPEACE 43]

My husband had his CR1 interview on June 7,2011,in Kingston,Jamaica.. He had a large file of evidence. The IO asked him for his file of evidence which he kept handed my husband passport back and stated that they couldn't issue a visa at this time and they were sending the petition back to the USCIS for further review. He knew the answers to all of the questions asked of him. We also have a large age difference. I am older. We have know each other for 7 1/2 years. We were married in Nov 2009. The IO also asked about my children and their ages. Which my husband knew the correct answer. I have called and emailed Kingston embassy. They said they can't tell me anything. I contacted my congressman who got a response from Kingston that stated that they are sending the petition back to the USCIS for 221g. They are questioning the validity of our relationship. I don't know what more evidence they could want. We had plane tickets, money gram, western union, phone records, pictures, letters, affadavits of our relationship. The only reason they could have questioned the relationship is because of our age difference. On Friday last week he received an envelope from the embassy which contained all of the information that was in the file they kept at the embassy. They only kept his vaccination record,his police and medical record. I guess the only thing we can do is wait to hear from the USCIS. I will keep adding more evidence to the stack we already have.

Maybe all who have been denied visas need to see if they were all interviwed by the same CO. Are any of you'll comparing interview notes.

My husband was interviewed by a white American man in his 30's. Sounds like he asked the same questions also.

[Darnell 8,478]

Can anyone tell me if their spouse didn't get their Visa the day that they had the interview. I have spoken with 2 people here in the states and they said that the same thing happened to them. Both of them stated that the paperwork was sent back to the states and then USCIS contacted them with additional paperwork that needed to be done. After the paperwork was completed then both of their spouses were approved for a Visa.

What visa type did your husband interview for?

[Caramel 3]

For those who have indicated that the age difference is a factor for denial of visas coming out of Jamaica, can you point to where you have seen indications of that from other petitioner from Jamaica. I have been reading these posts for years, I have never seen where a petition was denied because of a large age difference in Jamaica. Let's Not start rumors, when it isn't so.

At Peace we are not saying that a age differnece is the factor for denial of visas coming out of Jamaica but you must admit that it raises a flag. For cgayle case the CO probably had it predetermine that the marriage had to be fake b4 the interview started. what she should do is have all her evidence together to show them that the marriage is real whenever they get a chance to. I know when I went to my fiance's interview one guy got a denial because the CO said that the marriage wasn't real bcuz they only had 4 pple at their wedding. The CO ask the man What JAcan gets married and only had 4 pple at the wedding? The man that was being interview was lost for words he didn't say a word he looked confused. In this immigration process the least of any mishaps can be your down fall. For Mrs.cgayle don't take this the wrong way but their is a huge age difference between you and your husband. The average JAcan man does not get married at age 22 they are looking to sow their wild oaks so one have to wonder if a 51 and 24 yrs old marriage is for real.

Caramel, again you are putting your perspective on her marriage, if you would bother to read the yardie thread, it goes back years and you will noticed that most of the marriages were of older woman to younger men and a lot of those marriages are still in tact. To answer your question regarding the average JA man I would say "The average Jamaican man can't afford to be married in Jamaica, hence therefore he isn't going to marry anyone." Again, I refuse to stero type anyone or any situation.

Everything and anything in a long distance relationship can raise a red flag, I have seen where those who think they have the "perfect relationship" i.e regarding age, culture , marriage don't last. Those that you least expect to last, turn out to surrive other's judgement.

51... 24.. what do they really have in common... the bruh just got legal to drink... she's probably thru having kids... i hope and dont went thru some things*... that's how i see it.. 50/20... a difference and less eye catching than 30/60 ... just so it seems... i'm calling it as a realist... op..others might be upset but a suh it go... curve bal was thrown... nothing else to do until the info gets to uscis and all will come to the light maybe

Carmel, and Rich it not up to us to judge their relationship, I personal don't see how anyone who can't even meet the minimum poverty level can afford to bring a husband, but it is not for me to judge. So you'll are saying if they aren't perfect they shouldn't be married. So a cripple man who has no legs and can't walk shouldn't fall in love, a blind man who can't see shouldn't fall in love. This is not for us to decide, if she wants a bruh who just got legal in the US to drink, that's her marriage. She could be a hot 50 year old woman that looks like she is 35,and teaches him more than what a 20 to 30 year old woman could. Who are we to judge???????

I am not putting anything on their mariage and I know it goes back years for older Amrican woman marrying younger Jacan man and it's was a problem then and is still is a problem now when immigration is involved. I am not judging their marriage I just said that sometime the CO already have there minds made up that the marriage is fake bcuz of the age difference. They don't bother to look at the evidence I said in my post earlier, "that their denial was probably predetermined". Yeah you right when you said the average Jacan can't afford to get married yes they can't afford it if they are having a big wedding. At peace be for real how many Jacan young men you know wants to get married at age 22 even if they can afford it. This is probably what the CO are looking at. Jacan men are already judge for using older American woman to get to the US thats just the way it is looked upon. I am not sterotyping anyone situation it's not me anyone needs to worrying about sterotyping it's the CO bcuz sad to say it's what they say that counts. You are correct when you said long distance relationship can raise a red flag even the perfect relationship don't last that is the way of life.

[Darnell 8,478]

alas, there's a big step between stereotyping and fraud profiling.

IMO, that casefile has hit the profile for fraud.

It'd be swell to know exactly which visa interview type HE had, that day,

if was actual K-3 interview, she has another option available to her, immediately,

but she's not saying.

Darnell she has said in a different post, they had a CR1. So, they just have to wait for the letter.

I fully agree. I have a few friends who are males and are bewteen 18-24 5% of them are not married... The average 24 year old man in jamaica is NOT married. Take a sample of 50 random men in the country 18-24... You would be lucky to find 2 of those men in that age group who are married. If not having money is the hold back then so it is. Worst yet.... Not getting into a knot with a older woman unless there is some benefit that's not sexual... Examples for the slow in mind... Money ... Living space... Green card.... Then if she's pushing the bond... She'll get what she wanted in the first place.

I had to chime in from a K-1 perspective and a married perspective and having been through the process perspective. I believe the age difference is not a DECIDING factor, necessarily, but for us TWICE the age difference came up. During NVC and AOS. Do I think it is the reason your petition was returned to USCIS not sure.

Check this out:

I pray that you find a solution to all of this and I wish you and your spouse the very best of luck on this journey!

Thank you for the information. I am so confused on what to do since I really don't know why they sent it back. Was there a big age difference between you and your spouse?

Your very welcomed. We have a 16 year age difference. Im not really sure what to say about your particular case but maybe your petition expired and that could be a possibility they sent it back, they could suspect marriage fraud, it could be anything.

Some couples are experience this from the Jamaican Embassy and are stuck in limbo as to what is going on, or even what they should do. You're not alone...Im sorry you are going through this.
