NOW I HAVE ENOUGH SENSE TO KNOW THAT WE WILL NEVER DEFINITIVELY KNOW THE REASONS FOR SOME OF THESE DENIALS, AND YESSSSSS I AM AWARE THIS IS A HIGH FRAUD COUNTRY, FOR ANYONE WHO IS IM SURE GONNA USE AS A JUSTIFICATION.... ..BUT for many, these denials only serve to increase our anxiety as we get closer to our interview dates!!!!

You have to take into account the fact that those people who are undergoing the visa process are a large number of which VJ only represents a small percentage. It may appear as though there are many denials, but it could also be your partial perspective since you would be most nervous and anxious and give far more attention to a denial story than to an approval. Every case is different and you have to have confidence in your relationship and on your evidence. I know it is easier said than done, but you need to try to remain calm and optimistic. Keep the faith!

i agree..lol..seems like once you start this journey it becomes rather consuming in a sense,, though i am trying to find something else to focus on ..lord knows im trying...lol ..my friends tell me to stay off of here an quit reading these dreadful denial threads...lol..

thanks for your insight

I agree... a string of denials .. carries no weight when our cases are placed for approval. Lot of these denials probably if they took just a little longer time to know their Fiances and their wives. Consular offices are not hung up on reviewing those "pictures, chat logs" i see people on here kill them selves over.. com'on we all know... it's sometimes loaded and created. The process at the embassy will forever climb a mountain and only become harder.... perhaps like the consulate in Nigeria. People there keep up with trying to fly around the visa process... hence - denials.

My husband said he began to get nervous because he kept seeing blue slip after blue slip on his interview day. He said some people only had a few papers and he had a whole lap top case ful of papers. We made sure he had everything he needed and then some. We have no red flags. He got approved because they could not deny him for anything. We went over questions and all to prepare him. If they can deny you or blue slip you they will. (In my opinion) Just don't give them any reason to and you will be fine:) In my opinion, I also think that they have "numbers." Like they can only approve a certain amount of people for the year or quarter. I could be wrong though.

Can someone be denied an immigrant visa without being told the reason?

[WaitingToExhale 3]

and as u said being a high fraud country does'nt help! fact is alot of people from here (since its jamaica we're talking abt) either pay someone top $ to pretend for them or they fool someone into believing whilst they pretend.the embassy is the one that ends up with the stats abt how many divorce or try to stop the process somewhere between aos and directly after greencard...so they deny and sadly gets it wrong sometimes ...

my thoughts...

[JaHoney 3]

Thankz ...u all help me to gain perspective.

yes... definitely...

my thoughts...

This is a huge problem..... many people know know about the pretending.... but says nothing since they hope to benefit in the future.. they bring it down on others who are placed behind a think wall too prove their cases

Can someone be denied an immigrant visa without being told the reason?

denial reason will follow in the mail... not explained at the interview.

This is very true. I've seen quite a few cases of denials lately and know that many of the denials are due to behaviors as such. Although I am completely confident in my relationship and our ability to portray that at the interview, I do know that the wrongdoings of others have an adverse effect on interviews coming up. Any slip up or piece of nervousness can tank your entire process!

Its dreadful! SMH

Not only that - We also are only seeing one small piece of the picture from the posts we read on here. We don't truly know the length of a posters relationship, how many visits they made, what they submitted as evidence, what their finances look like, what their fiance's medical, criminal, certificate of non-impediment looks like, what questions were asked at the interview, what their responses were, etc.... - Trust me, I know how easy it is to panic at what seems to be happening lately, but I think we have to try to take a step back and have faith in our relationship and know that it is valid -

BTW... Am I missing something? I've actually be excited about the string of approvals that I've been seeing. I've only seen about 4 denials since June. I'll keep researching, but I just went through timelines and that's what I got - 2 denials for K-1 (one was actually a withdrawal), and 2 denials for IR1 (and those say admin review - have no idea what that means though).

Just wondering.

**Sorry. I just realized the original post did mention family and visitors visas. These I have no idea about. So please excuse the above post as it replies only to the categories mentioned in my response. It is not a reflection on my opinion of the two latter categories.**

Nikki, not everyone has a timeline - Go to the Jamaica portal page and read through some of the recent JA threads, you will see what's going on that has people nervous - Admin review seems to be the big thing lately, where the petition is sent back to the states and sits in limbo for who knows how long

Naw nervous-up miself. Just trusting in the Lord especially if you know that your love is real and that you have produced enuff evidence to show proof of that love. they cannot deny (I think) if you are on point.

I trusting in God.
