I am so sorry that this is happening to you I really hope it can get rectified soon.

sorry to hear your case has gone to the fraud unit. The best thing to do is be calm. The fraud unit asks simple questions (for legitimate couples) to determine whether the relationship is bona-fide. If you've spent time with your fiancee, and know him/her in and out, it should be okay.

Do you come from a high-risk country? maybe thats why your case went to the fraud unit?

Algeria is in fact considered a high fraud country, unfortunately.

OP - If you were in AP for four months and now they sent your case to the anti-fraud unit it means they found something they didn't like. Maybe there was inconsistencies in your paperwork, or maybe something did not match your file with what was mentioned in the interview, maybe your name came up in some background check that matches something else... it is hard to say. But they most likely found something that needs to be looked into deeper.

As was said before, I am sorry this is happening to you. All you can really do is stay hopeful, be prepared and continue to answer anything they ask honestly. In the end it should all work out just fine.

Just from looking at these two posts alone - it makes me confused and brings up questions as to when your interview was as you have two dates... so as I mentioned, - it very well could be some inconsistencies they found along the way if you were not careful. Think hard about what they may be so you will be prepared to answer/address them.

Moved from K-1 progress reports to Waivers / AP forums as the OP is in AP and being flagged for fraud.

i have no dates,i had my interview in december 27th 2012,and since this day they put my case under AP,now it is 4 month since my interview date,and last week they emailed to say that more investigation in Anti fraud unit.

we saw an immigrations autorney and we shew him all our documents ,and he said no red flag,they just waste our time.

I answered all the questions in the interview,i had no problems,I think that they put my case in anti fraud unit,coz i rememebr that the CO asked me if i know a man,has the same family like my family name ,and i answered that i dont know him,coz i really i dont know this personne.

I have no immigration purpose,i have a good job,i earn good money here in algeria,am 28 years old my fiance 32 years old,wr r both muslims,my fiance make good money ,how can thye put my case in fraud unit?

Did you they send you the email to notify you that your case is with the anti-fraud unit at the embassy? Or they told you that when you inquired your status? I hope it won't take long for you to go through this step. They may just randomly chose some cases for this processing. Nothing to be nervous about. Just stay calm and if they ask you for more documents, be prepared to do that. Good luck!

No one knows what anything in AP means. It seems like we just play the guessing game until something good comes out. Wishing you the best in everything! Hopefully its rectified soon.

I was on AP for 5 months as well and got the same email BUT a couple of weeks later my fiances visa was approved and he is picking it up tomorrow! Be patient it just means they found something they want to look into or further investigate. If you know your relationship is legitimate then you have nothing to worry about. Good luck!

Hello Tanina,

Hey, sorry to hear you are undergoing AP/Anti-Fraud investigation. If this makes you feel a bit better, my fiance has been undergoing AP since last June 21st, and just a month ago after many emails to DZ, they replied stating that we were being investigated by the Anti-Fraud unit. WHATEVER! They can go ahead and investigate all they want as there is nothing to worry. We also believe that my fiance's last name is being checked as his name is very well known. It will be an entire year this comming June since his interview. So "FAITH" is a most!!

I have been here in Tunisia with him for the last 2 weeks now, won't be going home for another 2 weeks. Having the time of our lives.....

Hang in there. I understand the frustration and the pain you are going through..

Good luck!

Diana
