Tragedy! Visa Denied!

[Palladin 18]

Bless for us! It looks finally the Consulate begins to listen after my desperate efforts to reach them. In all likelyhood they will give my wife a second chance of interview. I hope soon and I hope this time she will be well prepared. I am not letting my guard down and I will continue to push until we are reunited, but I will sit back a bit and wait to see what happens. I will be in Guangzhou soon.

They see red flags, fine. They can scrutinize but they need to give us opportunity to demonstrate our case. Thought my documentations were enough but they were not as they were not looked at much.

Lesson: Don't count on just documentations or just interview. Count on both and make sure with just one of them you can still demonstrate your case. Make sure the documentations are good enough that even without an interview your case can stand by itself. And make sure you can do so well in interview that even if there is zero documentation, the interview itself is enough to convince the visa officer. Leave nothing to chances!

I'm gonna puke my guts if the VO never realized that BOTH of you are native Mandarin speakers.

Good Luck at ACS - it's this week for you, or next?

Go Get Em !

The VO asked, at one point, something about my wife's "fiance". Maybe he did not realize we are a married case, not a fiance case. Maybe that's just a slip of tongue?

Fingers crossed for you mate, glad to see you're taking control and pushing for a fair interview.

It was a test, and she should have corrected him. Otherwise, perhaps is a green, newbie VO ?

Unfortunately my wife did not pass the visa interview. She waqs denied for non-bona fides relationship.

I just could not believe it!

I should have known. I did not make enough effort to urge my wife to spend time preparing for the interview. The VO is probably not very satisfied with some of her answers.

I will have to spend a lot of efforts to fight this now.

I'm so sorry to hear your sad news... Don't give up -- don't ever give up!!! But you should also pray pray pray... everything is in God's perfect time and will!!! It's not how many times you fall but how u pick up the pieces and start all over again... this time more prepared and confident... Good luck and take care! :thumbs:

There is very good hope that after they have done teh Adminisrtative Processing they willc all my wife in for another interview. I hope that is the case. I hope my wife does get the second interview soon. I will be with her in a few days and I think I'd better be with her at the second interview if that happens, at all cost.

You quizing her now on Skype or QQ, every minute you can prep for interview is good? Hope you get the interview soon!

You never mentioned (or I missed it) just what you did or what happened to make you think there would be a second interview. Please do.

[Darnell 8,478]

You do have plans for ACS, yes?

I got one email from Guangzhou IV reassuring me that they are doing Administrative Processing on my wife's case file and they will NOT send the files back to USCIS before it is finished, and "not before we call your wife in for a second interview". I also got conformation that the appeal document I send via ACS had some how made its way into the interviewing officer's hand. So hopefully they have listened to me and they will give my wife another chance.

I would not discuss precisely what I did, at this moment, for obvious reasons. But it helps to try to be calm and rational. It would not help to be too emotional.

Apparently you sent an "appeal document" visa ACS and the IV unit has confirmed there will be a second interview prior to returning the petition. Sounds like it worked at least to get the second interview. I'm guessing a politician was also involved.

Immigration history of ex-wife should not be an issued. I did petition for Ex, in 1994, and she came over in 1999. That's long time gone.

That should not be a reason for suspicion. It's perfect normal for people to not remember all details of historic event

That is exactly why they pulled the trigger!

You live in a country of 310,000,000 people, hence only a tiny fraction of those only seek a spouse from a continent far, far away, but it happens, and it's accepted. What's not accepted is that U.S. citizens work as personal immigration portals. More to the point, U.S. consular officers do not like that at all, and all you have to give them is a reason to deny you. And that's exactly what you did.

There is no law saying a US citizen can only get married to a foreigner no more than once. I understand that if you bring in a froeign bride once every two or three years that's definitely a no no. But that previous marriage lasted a good 16+ years and it was bona fide, not for green card.

It would have been nice and much easier if I find a local girl to marry. I thought about that. I thought I was attracted to caucasian girls and thought about the possibility of inter-race marriage. But it didn't seem to work. I am still more comfortable looking for a company within my own ethnic group. Nothing wrong with that. Most posters here find that one way or another they would rather marry some one from a foreign country, than find a local spouse.

At least the US constitution still says that citizens have a right to pursuit their happiness however they want, that includes bring a foreign spouse in to start a family here. There is probably a limit at some point, if every one go out to bring a foreign bride in. But we are talking about about 50 thousand foreign brides be brought in a year, versus a population of 310 million, versus 4 million new babies be born here each year. If we hit a limit that citizens are limited to bring foreign spouses in, then we will probably be at a stage that we should impose mantatory borth control on the citizen population, or things of that nature. We are far from that!
