K1 visa denial. relationship for immigration purpose. badly depressed,

[JimVaPhuong 4,863]

this should'nt be so, because me and my now husband met lived, got engaged and had a baby before he was legally divorce and he filed the k1 one month after his divorce. however, i was asked about this in my interview and i told the co that they had been seperated from 2007 but the divorce was'nt finalized till 2010. he asked me no further questions and i was granted my visa. so this should'nt be an excuse to deny you

You're not a male beneficiary in Nigeria. There's a world of difference between the US consulate in your country and the one in Nigeria.

Whoa! Wait a minute.... I'm from the Philippines and I may have similar problem. My fiance and I met online June of 2009. The divorce was filed april of 2009. Her ex-wife moved out of their home march of 2009. We have met over 4x already. I got pregnant immediately after our first meeting on October-November of 2009. His divorced was finalized just this April of 2011. The divorce took that long because of settlement issues. He petitioned me June of 2011. Will I be having the same problem too? Oh Gosh, please help. I will be having my interview on December 1 already.

On November 15, 2011, I had an interview at the us embassy in lagos and i answered all the question the CO asked me correctly. After answering all the question with confident, the CO paused for a while. The CO told me that my fiancee was still legally married when we met so he gave me a blue slip explaining that "Dear Visa Applicant, We are returning your visa petition to the Department of Homeland Security office where it was approved with our recommendation that the petition be reviewed for possible revocation. Any futher inquires should be directed to that office. The reasons are as follows:

Evidence submitted indicated that this relationship was entered into for purposes of immigration.

my fiancee was married before and the ex-husband use to abuse her. She seperated from him since the year 2007. the divorce filled in 2009 and finalized in August 2010. We met in late late 2008, proposed in 2009 and filled k1 visa 6 month after divorce finalized. we are so disheartening, depressed, and helpless. We went to be living together already, married and start having kids. how can someone has our lives in their hand. since then, i have not been very happy, i dont know where to go or where to start. we both cried. GOD help us. we love each other so much and this distants is effecting us. the co did not found any fault but that. according to the law,it is perfectly legal to get engaged before your divorce is final. we both were free to marry when we fill the petition.

anyone with similar experience.....

We had a similar experience!! I am a US citizen applying for my male Nigerian fiance to come here. Ola had his interview on Nov. 21st, and was denied. We used a lawyer, we had every piece of evidence required, we had clean health record, clean police record, we had record of the wedding plans, and a building reserved for the wedding, chats, phone record, etc, EVERY THING!! The interviewer spent 10 minutes questioning Ola about MY ex-husbands race ( which happens to be native american indian) then the interviewer tried to find Bishop Weber (the man who was contracted to perform the wedding) online, then he denied the visa. HE LOOKED AT NONE OF THE EVIDENCE WE HAD. We are hurt, humiliated, shocked, and MAD!!

This system is a farce. Do the american people really think this is a way to keep a terrorist out??? I have contacted senators, congressmen, NVC, USCIS, and tried to contact the embassy in Nigeria. ( i can not get anyone to answer the phone at the embassy, or even an answering service.) We are at a loss. We dont know how to proceed. I cant believe that they expect us to totally reapply. We have been working on this for almost 2 years. Not to mention, we have spent every penny we had. If anyone has advice, please share!! I feel so so bad for all those who just want to be together, and are told that they cant be. Who are they to tell people that they cant be together??

What is your income ? I have this personal belief that if you have a lot of history making good money in America that they tend to believe in your relationship more. I have seen people who get denied also say we were above the poverty line. The poverty line in America is one step above living in the slums in third world countries and I just have this hunch that they turn away many people who are marginal income. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

We had a cousin of his who lives in Texas, (with a very good income) as a co-sponsor. I think that they can use any reason they want. Any thing you do or do not do, or have or do not have can be construed for or against your case. It is that simple. There is no way for them to know if you are honest or not. It is a joke. People should be allowed to be with the ones they want to be with. Either the interveiwer likes you or doesnt.

The laws are wrong. Why not have a law that states "if you are divorced from the benificiary, then the person goes back to the original countr"y or something to that effect. This playing a game to get married is not right. If they had better laws about moving here in the first place, there would not be such a scam going on to get married to get a green card. The government has overstepped its bounds in so many ways.

This has noithing to do with terrorism. This is about relationships for immgration purposes which is what they believe and they are the ones that get to decide that. US congressman or Senators will not and ACN not get involved unless there is a violation of the law. There has been none.

Your fastest, cheapest and easiest solution is to re-apply, yes. ANY OTHER course of action will take longer, cost more and be much more difficult.

They have NOT told you that you "cannot be together". They have told you that your fiancee cannot use the petition you have already sent to recive a K-1 visa and adjustment of status. You CAN send in another application which will overcome the previous problem and probably result in a K-1 being issued. You could also go to Nigeria and be together. They have told you ONLY that THIS visa with this petition will not be issued.

So far you have a perfect record of being wrong.

They could not possibly care less how you live, they only want to know they can garnish your income if your spouse becomes a public charge. For that matter once you do the AOS they never check on your income again.

You could always get married and file for a CR-1, this way the affidavit of support gets reviewed buy the NVC not by the consulate. NVC is far more even handed than the fickle consulates

I only mean that the American people are so paranoid about possible terrorism, that they have allowed our immigration system to be abused under this guise. We are supposed to believe that this system will keep the "bad guys" out. It wont. Apparently you have not dealt with Nigeria. Also, I have 2 congressmen and a senator helping me to get this case re-opened, but the system is so badly screwed up, that they cant even tell us where the petition is at this time.
