Can the consulate change their mind once the visa has been approved

[moemac59 192]

Is it possible for the consulate to reverse their decision once they approve the visa or is it guaranteed that you will get it

I wonder what they do with your file once your interview is done..does it go to someone else to review especially the I134..reason that I am asking is that the CO barely reviewed my financial stuff

Is it possible? Yes, anything is possible.

Will it happen? Probably not.

The CO looks at the bottom line of the I-134, it either meets the requirements or it doesn't, it isn't rocket science. They probably see a bajillion of them every year. You would have been told right then that a co-sponsor was needed and your sponsor's I-134 was not sufficient on it's own.

You'll be fine! That I can promise! You'll get your passport soon!

You interviewed in Montreal, correct? Then you would have given all your paperwork to the woman at the window prior to going into the interview room. The paperwork makes its way to the CO interviewing you, and they generally review the required paperwork before you step into the room. It there was an issue, they would have brought it up before approving you. What was wrong with the I-134? Its fairly cut and dry, either you meet the requirements or you do not. I wouldn't worry!

All the paperwork from filling the petition to the interview end up in your "do not open" envelope that you will take with you when entering the US on your visa.

They didn't look at mine either. I highly doubt they would deny it after approval, but yes, it can happen.

Yes it can happen. One person from Canada was turned back when he entered the US and his visa was subsequently revoked due to something they discovered after he was issued the visa.

Your pertinent information is given to you in the sealed envelope. You turn it in at the POE and it goes to USCIS to await your filing for AOS and then follwos you around until citizenship when it is sent off to that warehouse you see at the end of "Raiders of the Lost Ark"

The decision can be reversed at any time until you become a citizen and even then could be reversed if you fraudulently represented anything to achieve a benefit at ANY point in the process.

Sleep well.

Anything else you want to ask?

All of this is exceedingly rare.

There was no problem with my I134 as my co-sponsor had more than significant funds$$$ to sponsor. This was topic was posted more out of interest than anything else. The CO only asked me 2 questions during my interview. Maybe because my fiancee and I have been together for almost 5 years and see each other almost every weekend. She was actually very nice and I found the interview very easy.

I love the comment about the paperwork following me around until citizenship and then going to the warehouse..that was funny.

You're fine. Technically anything could happen at any point of the stage but it's very, very, very, unlikely. The consular officers often do not ask many questions of Canadians because Canada is a low fraud country. My interviewer just glanced through my paperwork then asked a few questions and that was it.

The interview is really underwhelming... makes you wonder why you spent the past 6-8 months worrying!
