Sue them ? Tell them you have no care about religion or caste and none of it matters. Why is a religious marriage even needed? What if you are non religious?

Sue the Consulate for what? Not following the requirements of getting married when filing for a marriage visa and getting caught? India is not the Philippines. What constitutes a legal marriage is not the same in the two countries.

I'd like to know on what grounds?

At the least she misrepresented in the interview by stating they had a religious ceremony when they didn't. That alone is grounds for denial...

Then she signed a statement swearing she wasn't even married to the petitioner. That moves them from Denial Land straight into Lifetime Ban Land!

The only Lawyer that can help them is one well versed in Mumbai Embassy Immigrant Visas and even better one who has experience specifically squashing the sworn statement. At that point they are still denied just without the Lifetime Ban.

It appears they ARE religious, because they have a traditional arranged marriage made within their caste. They can't say they don't care about religion and caste when they show that they do in fact care, by their choice of partner and type of courtship/way of meeting! If they were non-religious and married for love, then the lack of religious ceremony would be no problem. As it is, they have two mismatched pieces of a puzzle, and lied about it.

Dude you did not respond to my question, if you just had a civil ceremony means you went to court and signed the paper - you should have a marriage certificate in that case.

Also in your previous post you said you had marriage in temple and pic were not allowed in temple.

Have you travelled to US before or lived in US before?

yes.. I got my visitors B1/B2 visa in june 2009.. I went to US in july 2009 and stayed there for a month. I had gone there to see my brother..When officer returned my passport after interview i noticed that they have cancelled my visitors visa..I dnt knw y they have done that before issuing me a CR1 visa..

Not having a religious wedding is not the issue. Lying about it, is, though. Plenty of visas, including mine, have been issued with only a civil ceremony.

Once you have filed a I-130 you have established immigrant intent, thus, making your B-2 tourist visa null and void. All my previous visas were stamped "cancelled without prejudice" at the conclusion of my interview.

Hi

My wife was rejected and was given the above mentioned reason. She had an interview at the Mumbai embassy in India where she was rejected for CR 1 visa. The quesiton now is should I apply for the waiver or apply the file again? If apply for waiver, where should I apply it, in US or in India? Can anybody tell me where the CIS office is located in India that adjuncts the I-601 waiver? Thanks in advance!!!

Are you applying the waiver for the limitation of the application? If that is, you can include the waiver letter with the petition together and send it. It is just a letter explaing about the pervious petition.

Good luck

I am sorry I am new to this forum. I don't understand what you mean by "limitation of application?" The visa was already rejected at Mumabi embassy.

212 (a)(6)©(1) applies to visa fraud/ missrepresentation. The answers you were given in your other thread still apply, get a lawyer, and fast. No point in re-filing until you clear this up

[Kathryn41 3,205]

The OPs original thread outlining the interview and refusal has been moved from the CR-1 forum and merged with this second thread on the next stage of development in the Waivers Forum so as to keep all of the information in one place and allow our members the best opportunity to give relevant advice.

The problem is that we never had a religious ceremony. We only had civil ceremony. Our religious ceremony is scheduled for january 2012.

THE PROBLEM IS CONFLICTING STATEMENTS. You said earlier you/she told them the reason you did not have pictures of the Religious Ceremony is because

they don't allow photo's in temple. Here you say that you had no religious ceremony. So the statement you earlier said was coerced that you did not

have a Religious ceremony only a civil...

Now you have misrep charges to deal with.
