embassy email: under INA222(F) which addresses the confidentiality...

[Ta Ta 1]

Emailed the embassy 2 times as to what the SPECIFIC reason was for

the investigation we are in and received 2 generic answers about an investigation

to establish eligibility for my fiances K1 visa. We want to know what specifically is being

investigated by the Fraud Unit, what issue or document.

Third email and I got this :

Under INA 222(F) which addresses the confidetiality of visa records, we are unable to provide any futher details.

Does that mean I as the fiance can not gain further details or does the applicant himself

have no right to know the exact details ? His own visa records are confidential to keep

him from gaining access to detailed information ?

Can anyone find this paragraph anywhere in the correct context ?

I have however found posts of congressional inquiries leading to specific answers, so

how correct is the above 222(F) statement if congressmen and senators are given answers

and we are not ?

Probably because they received an email request, they could not verify with 100% certainty that you are the Petitioner. So they gave you the line about "confidentiality". I can understand that. Maybe they'd respond differently to a letter from the Petitioner with a notarized signature. Congressmen and Senators have a Security clearance that would allow them to see things that we cannot.

I believe they want to verify that the Beneficiary is free to marry. If a divorce decree or death certificate was produced as termination of a prior marriage, they are probably verifying that fact. The Fraud Unit will have an answer soon I hope and you can put all this behind you.
