My husband was denied his visa at the interview. Can anyone tell me how long before Islamabad will send our file back to NVC? AND the procedure which will come next? Trying to find all possible information on appeal.

*** Moving from US Embassy to Waivers forum as this seems a better fit for quick answers ****

212(a)(5) (a) Is usually what they use if they do not believe in the bonafides of your relationship. Is there any red flags in your case such as big age difference recent divorce, previous petitions?

No one can tell you how long it will take for your case to get back to NVC. Once it is back at NVC they will log it into the computer and send it to USCIS in California or Vermont where your I-130 petiton was first handled. Then you will wait for the Notice of Intent to Revoke(NOIR). The NOIR will tell you the problems the CO had with your case and you will have 30 days to respond.

My husband was denied his visa also. We received our NOIR and filed our appeal. Our case was reaffirmed and sent back to the embassy. We are waiting now for the embassy to contact us for another interview.

You can't go by my time line. I had filed a lawsuit against the State Department because of being in AP so long. The embassy rushed our case back to NVC and we got our NOIR in record time. All in all I would say 2 to 3 months for us to be reaffirmed and case sent back to the embassy.

Its very unfortunate the departments do this sort of things, Because the actions of a few influence the judgement of individuals that affects the mass amounts of people.

what seems to amaze me is the request to provide proof of a bonified relationship when the couple have KIDS together... i dont know what more proof is needed.... perhaps a video of the creation process ... i dont know! :blink:

06/272012 DENIED AT THE INTERVIEW 212(A)(5)(a) They were pist off due to the fact I sent in 2000+ pages for our REF. Told him they were waiting for him to come in. They gave him all 2000+ pages and told him to take them home.

This is pure curiosity, and I apologize I can't be more helpful, but why did you send in 2000 pages in response to a RFE? This is good to know for the future... Best of luck...

why do i get the feeling they have to electronically keep documents and not physical record?.... i think someone did not want to have to scan 4 REAMS of paper! seriously 2,000 pages of documentation?.... dont you think that was a bit on the excessive side? ... just a little bit?
