[Bonao2013 8]

So i had my visa interview for my wife, and it was a pain in the ### and after about 8 hours of waiting (interviewed, then got sent to interview seperatley then the final decision). When we were seperated thr cobsulate siad the uscis investigated and we know u guys are related which is bullshit (a mutual cousin of ours who carries both our last names introduced us (my cousin on his dads side her cousin on his moms side) the consulate officer (who was a complete a-hole) gave back my wifes passport and my passport with a white paper (8x11), and all she told me was "your visa cannot be processed/approved at this time" and then left without even listening to what i had to say... what the hell do i do now?? I am not gonna give up!!!!

What is written on the white piece of paper that was given out.

Wow, I am really sorry to hear about it ?.

[Bonao2013 8]

I dont know word for word but it says something about incorrect things, and that it was rejected at that time.. the CO told me it will go back to the USCIS and they will take the final decision, and my case on the website says AP updated

On Aug 5 , my interview was on july 31st

Sorry to hear that after the interview did you both share what question were asked during the interview? Did the answers match?

[Bonao2013 8]

We did actually and i think we missed just one

can you call the embassy or email them and ask why your visa can't be processed. I think that if you proof everything they look for and your case is not approved they should some how let you know why they made that decision and what can be done after.

But the CO siad its up to the uscis jurisdiction now, i think they already send it, and what should i be expecting that letter from uscis to say??

omggg this is horrible.. there are many people who have same cousins and are not related... do not give up !!!

this will be sent back to the USCIS for reaffirmation. Until you get notice from the USCIS that they now have your file, you cannot do anything more.

[Bonao2013 8]

Wow... is there like an estimated max wait time for this letter to arrive?

[Honey&Bunny 12]

If you don't mind, can I ask you what the question was? The reason I ask is because I want to know how RIDICULOUS these people can be. If because you miss a little insignificant thing, they think they have the right to deny your visa. My husband is really bad remembering anything! We already had fights because I ask him things and he doesn't remember.

OP, reaffirmation of the petition is not guaranteed. Based on your first post, one of the following two scenarios will occur:

#1

USCIS will simply agree with the Embassy finding that you and your spouse are actually related and revoke the petition with the reason being "relationship not peitionable." You would then have to go through the appeals process.

#2

USCIS will send you a "Notice of Intent to Revoke" (NOIR) stating the specific reasons why the notice is being sent along with a deadline to respond to the notice (usually 30 days). When sending an NOIR rebuttal, you must specifically rebut the stated reasons in the notice, failure to properly respond to an NOIR by the given deadline will result in the petition being revoked. While a proper response to an NOIR increases the chances of reaffirmation of the petition, it does not guarantee reaffirmation of the petition.

There is also the chance that USCIS will outright disagree with the Embassy findings and reaffirm the petition without anything more needed from you. However, the chances this happening are not high.

Reaffirmation of a petition does not guarantee a visa will ultimately be granted; visa issuance remains at the discretion of the State Department.

Thank you for explaining that better Ryan.
