Visa denied 4 months after interview

[Lemerit 4]

Hello everyone. I woke up this morning with a bad news in my inbox from the U.S. Consulate in Togo that my fiancée's visa has been denied. The petition is returned to NVC for reconsideration or revocation. It does not say AP or AR.

Here is my first question: Can a consulate just deny a visa issuance without given any reason?

Second: What is my nextstep?

And Third: will NVC also just revoke my petition and not contact first?

I know there are few things working against me. I first petitioned for girl from Ghana in 2007. The petition was approved. After a long wait for interview(3) and one trip to be with her at the interview, she finally got approved for a visa in 2009. But that gold digger left me in less than a year together after obtaining her 2-year resident card. A heart broken story that I don't want to revisit!!!I divorced in 2010. Also, I have known my fiancée less than 3 months in 2011 througha family member before visiting her in Togo last year. The visit was short, one week due to my work. Then there is an age difference between us (21), I am in my 40s, she in her 20s.

I am sure this background contributed to the visa denial. But whatelse can I do I love my fiancée.

Wow that is tough. Do you have any idea what may have caused this denial?

He gave the reasons.

Usually USCIS just let's K1's expire and you can refile a K1 or file a CR1.

There is a slim chance that USCIS would reaffirm your case, but it is not likely.

It may take 4 months to hunt down your petition now as it will sit in a mail room somewhere and is not considered a priority. When they finally enter the case number into the computer ( NVC and USCIS ) you at least know where it is.

Contact your senator now to keep track of your case. You can email the consulate chief and ask for a second interview, sometimes it takes a few days before they actually return the case. Ask them for a reason of return though you may only get a canned answer.

If you refile it will generally kick in a NOID letter informing you of a reason for denial, or you may get a letter within 4-6 months saying that it has expired and you are free to refile.

It is vital to find out why she was refused the visa so you can overcome it the next time. Ask her for every word that was

said in the interview.

Was there a check mark in regards to a reason on a written paper given to her ?

My case is similar to yours. Still sitting in the mail room at NVC since July 1, data not entered yet.

she was not given a 221g form or any note stating the reason for denial. I am confused because the consulate kept her passport after the interview in April.

woowwww to many red flags...... Am sorry about that, its either you file the K1 again or go for the CR1, which i think would be better......... And mostly IMPORTANTLY find out the main reasons for your denial so you can overcome it the next time.

GOOD LUCK

The visa has been refused not denied at this this time. It has been returned with recommendation for revocation OR review.

If they are reviewing something it could be possible that the passport is part of that review.

You can email them and ask if the passport is still needed or should she come to pick it up. Usually they just give the passport back.
