I saw no ears when my B2 was refused.

Not even a teeny weeny one.

I saw no ears when my B2 was refused.

Not even a teeny weeny one.

There wasn't a single tear shed on either of the other 2 refusals, the last one just looked bored.

But the weepy one was me applying to go for a few days to be there for the birth of my daughter, the CO really wanted to say yes but couldn't. As you can imagine, the daughters birth was actually a negative aspect when it comes to proving ties outside the US.

August 2000: We start e-mailing. I'm in Bosnia, she's in Florida

October 29th 2000: She sends me e-mail asking if I would marry her

October 29th 2000(5 seconds later): I say yes

November 2000: She sends me tickets to Orlando for when I get back

December 6th 2000: Return from Bos

December 11th 2000: Fly to Orlando, she meets me at airport

December 22nd 2000: I fly back to UK

January 3rd 2001: She flies to UK (Good times)

Mid February 2001: Pregnancy test Positive

Mid February 2001: She flies back to US

March 2001: Miscarriage, I fly to US on first flight I can get

May 2001: I leave US before my 90 days are up

June 2001: I fly back to US, stopped at airport for questioning as I had only just left

September 2001: Pregnancy test Positive again

September 2001: She falls sick, I make decision to stay to look after her as I am afraid I may have problems getting back in.

April 16th 2002: Our son is born, we start getting stuff together for his passport

March 6th 2003: We leave US for UK as family

Early April 2003: Family troubles make her return to US, I ask Embassy in London about possibilities of returning to US

April 16th 2003: London Embassy informs me that I will be banned from the Visa Waiver Program for 10 years, my little boys first birthday

June 13th 2006: I-129f sent

August 11th 2006: NOA1 Recieved

After our relationship breaks down she admits to me that she had never bothered to start the application process

Send her for a bus tour (or airplane, whatever) to Europe. Visa in passport and return stamp will make it possible to get B2. My mother-in-law got hers that way. Before that she was denied without explanation. Good luck

Using the Schengen Visa as a basis for the US visa, where would she apply for the B2? In Kyrgyzstan or in Europe once she arrived there?

Done: I-130/CR-1, I-751/ROC

Where she lives.

Not necessarily. See, for example, the B-2 visa instructions on the US embassy in London website:

"Note: Anyone who is physically present in the United Kingdom may apply for a (non-immigrant) visa at this Embassy regardless of nationality or status in the United Kingdom."

We have seen substantial differences in reception of IOs in different countries, as you could imagine. Prior to Taiwan being added as a waiver country, we had family members denied at home in Taiwan but re-apply in Canada and were successful.

Good idea to quote the whole thing.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
