K-1 Visa was denied today

[Broken2019 4]

I'm confused....can a RFE be given after an interview. Never heard of that before...

I'm really sorry you got this news.

[Broken2019 4]

Yes ma'am we got 2 RFE after our interview.....just a waste of time and energy for him to still say that he don't believe our relationship. Its sad how someone can determine your life.

The guard told my fiancé on 1/28 b4 he went in for his interview... to beware of this white American guy that don't hardly give out visas that you got to be bold with him. My fiancé ended up with this guy.

Really sorry this happened to you. But can you answer some questions. I know you are tired but you are asking and this may help pinpoint so you can be better prepared. The K1 is dead nothing you can do about that now. Maybe marry and file a I-130.

Can I ask do you have a big age gap (you the woman) being at least 10 years or more older than he?

Have you been married before?

Do you have children from previous marriage/ relationship?

Any other red flags you have?

How many times you visit face to face up to the interview?

For how long face to face visit?

Did you meet online?

Yes they can deny on their feeling. The whole approval, denial is their feeling opinion. I mean evidence can be manufactured. Pictures can be Photoshopped. So a CO goes by one evidence maybe field investigations (they might have done that in your case). Ask you fiance' anyone being asking around to his friends and family. And they will always have local people you really would never know.

His interview was 1/28/14 he got the first RFE. Then 2/28 they call and asked for another RFE...

then he was called on last Friday to come for final results. He went today and was denied

We been dating since june 30 2012

RFEs are issued when your evidence seems incomplete or not convincing enough. it is a chance for you to submit more/stronger evidence of your relationship. what were you asked to submit the first RFE? what about the second RFE? if he got denied, it could have been because what you submitted was not sufficient or not accurate. when you respond to an RFE it is to close the doubt of uscis and to give them no more reason to ask for more. think about it.

Im the female which im 11 yrs older.....we gave them copies of more messages, wedding gown receipt, wedding plans receipt, letters from friends/family, I wrote a letter of the evolution of our relationship, he wrote an evolution of our relationship,tons of pics of us together in different events, pics with family/friends, passport copy,flight ticket copy. But still not convincing

[Broken2019 4]

Never married with 2 teenagers.....one in college and other in 11th grade. Only visited him once bc of my job plus it's very expensive to travel to Africa. We did everything that was required. Ij dont understand.....but its done with so now we must move on.

This is likely your red flag, besides that you're older than him.

CO's have the discretion to refuse to issue the visa because they "feel" it is not a bona fide relationship.Yes, it is very unfair. They are required

to have a good reason to deny and should not "re adjudicate" an approved petition, but in all actuality they also refuse to issue on personal bias, gut feelings, speculation and assumptions and not just for valid factual reasons.
By RFE I guess you mean a request for 'more relationship evidence to proof bona fide'.

We were refused after 16 months in AP with additional 12# of relationship evidence. I asked the CO what the problem is and what her

fact based evidence is and she replied "I have a gut feeling."

Sooo, yesterday's hot chilli can be the reason they refuse and the feeling in their gut is just that, a feeling....a suspicion.

One red flag could be that a cousin introduced you. Often family members in high fraud countries have "introduced" extended family

members as a means to get them here. If I had a penny for every time I was asked do I know anyone to introduce them to

in the USA..... those intentions are fraud plain and simple.
Some Embassies don't like any of these kind introductions through a family member and think they aren't genuine.

Women older than their fiance and past child bearing age is also a red flag as are short and infrequent visits and quick

engagements after only a short period of knowing each other. Know your flags and address them.

They will return your petition and it will expire, you may or may not receive a formal letter of petition expiration after 6 months.

If you want to fight you can give it one good try through a senator/congressman and ask for another interview.
Highly unlikely that this will be successful but worth a shot. You have to get on that yesterday, once they ship the petition back to

USCIC via NVC it will be too late.

Best thing is to marry and file a CR1 or re file a K1. Keep in mind that a future K1 can also be returned, however if a CR1 is returned

then you have a chance to rebut and get reaffirmed, CR1's don't expire like K1's.

You must get more visits in for face to face time as proof that you are sincere. You are dealing with Cameroon, not a European country

and everything will get highly scrutinized. Make sure there is no obstacle that you have overlooked or it will be waiting for you next time around

again.

Good luck. I know the feeling, been there, done that, have the T-shirt and sometimes wear the hat.

Not in your favor but can be overcome.

Thanks for the information appreciate the concerns

I came to my friends house and she was on skype with my fiance and this is how we met I saw him and asked who he was. She just introduced us and we(my fiance) exchanged fb information and started talking from there. His cousin didn't even know we started talking every day until weeks later. She was shocked and didn't know that we had became serious after months talking

The OP is a K-1 visa filer. As K-1 visa filers, we don't have to provide co-mingle's proof as you have mentioned or such. Most of times, a consular officer will scrutinize whether is a real relationship or just immigration purpose by asking applicants proofs like an engagement invitation, phone records, wired money, wedding plan, affidavit from family or friends, or etc. Different consulate/embassy will ask different things, and more proofs when some countries fall into category, "high fraud countries".

Sorry did not realize that was the difference between IR1 and K1. I hope your case works out. I just got visas in hand today, it took 600 plus days, 2 RFE's and a whole lot of paperwork. Best of luck to you my friend.

Talked with congressman today and we are signing a release for privacy form and we both have to write a statement about our case....After that is submitted they will address that embassy on our behalf!
