[tuja 0]

My husband is Nigerian and he interviewed in Malaysia we were denied, the said sham marriage. I immediately contacted my congressman and they still have our petition in Malaysia it us being reviewed we are awaiting a decision. it has been 2 months...

omg,i am sorry about that,where did you do the wedding and also why do they call it shame marriage? to me,maybe is because there is no family presence at the wedding or what do they mean?

When immigration says "Sham marriage" they mean a marriage created for the sole purpose of immigration benefits (a Visa). Not that this applies to them.

But many times the CO's will deny "For immigration purposes" or they will just say this is a Sham marriage.

Being from Nigeria we all have to pay the price of those before us who abused the system and scammed their way to the US.

I hear Malaysia isn't all that great for Nigerians either. You should look into it.

Hello Kazulie, I agree with you all too well, my husband is there and he is from Nigeria and his experience was awful, as a matter of fact, there were a few Nigerians that were interviewed on the same day as my husband and all of them received for 221g, asking for the same thing, (sworn notarized affidavit of the development of their relationship). Again, I agree!

hmm,well God help us. it is only USA doing this rubbish, other country are totally different

That is true, Good luck and I hope your experience is far different. Some have managed to make it through.

Hi, I understand you completely, I wish I knew the solution but I have been surveying and talking to a few people from different ethnic groups (non-african), 9 out of 10 approved. Something needs to be done about this. My husband said that this particular officer that interviewed them was not pleasant at all and of course gave them all form 221g.

Yes the first time my husband went they asked me to do a sign sworn.statement chroniciling our relationship and proof that I.had purchased 5 airplane tickets than we still got denied but as.I stated I contacted my congressman who.got our.petition pulled and reviewed and we are now awaiting a decision.....

But I don't know what the solution is...

Is everyone denied Nigerian and all by the same officer?????

Yes, I believe this to be true and I think the affidavit is just to humiliation. Why does everyone have to do this (Africans)? I have contacted my congressman and senator and we have decided to consult an attorney. I am definitely going to keep digging into this matter. It looks pretty discriminatory to me and that's just my personal opinion. This particular CO, should be investigated.

That's what I told my husband sounds like discrimination and even though.they are in Malaysia is a US Embassy and in the US is against the law.....

It is absolute discrimination because there are too many cases alike and mainly Nigerians. I realize there are scams, fraud, and scandals involved in some visa processes, but it's not only Nigerians and I believe in my husband 100%. I have read some horror stories on vj, fraud marriages and guess what?.......they were non african. It's just not right.

It definitely is not right my husband is Nigerian and the way things are now we are not sure when or if he will get.to come to.the US

it isn't discrimination. It is because so many people from Nigeria married just to get visas and green cards to the US, they abused the system. That is why here is such a high percentage of denials. Nigeria isn't the only only country who has a high rate of fraud, with a large percentage of denials. You are paying for people who abused the system in the past, an for people who continue to abuse it.
