How many don't get approved?

As I sit here on the edge of my seat waiting for my interview day, I can't help but wonder how many petitioners are actually turned down at the interview or AOS stage? Anyone have any ideas, percentage-wise?

Coming through Canada - almost none. People tend to get RFE's for more information or something they've missed rather than a flat out denial. I recall 1 couple who either had to petition or something like that a few years back.

Its a very different situation because we don;t have a high percentage of VISA fraud the way other countries do, the interviews are more straight forward and it is easier for us to provide proof of meeting etc.

AOS is pretty straight forward too, especially for K1's - eitehr you got married or you didn't and now you're co-habiting.

I would have to agree.. Today after my interview, there was a lady who walked out with me an she needed to provide additional documents before they would approve her Visa...

For Canadians, I would say that the vast majority of denials are due to an inadmissibility issue, like you lived in the US for more than a year without a visa, you committed a CIMT and you need to get a waiver, or for medical reasons, like you have a highly communicable disease.
