No Reason Denial. URGENT HELP.

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

Hi OP, sorry to hear it.

You need to go over the interview question by question from your fiance, and figure out what was asked. That will give you a clue into the problem. Getting married will not just solve the problem, you could get denied again, so you will need to figure out what it was and address it.

When and how did you meet? How many times have you met in person and for how long?

I know:( She can't stop crying. so i can't get that information from her:(

we met when we were kids. Our parents are friends. and then we met online on fb and started talking again. after childhood we met twice. I traveled to her country specifically to meet her. both times for 2 weeks.

Call the number and find out what is going on.

The only POSSIBLE reason I can think of they could deny her is that she studied in Russia for the last 6 years. and just graduated. so she had no job, no commitments back in Azerbaijan:( COuld that really be a reason?

No. It's a fiancee visa, no commitments in your native country are needed like for the tourist visa.

Could it be that they have suspicions that the relationship isn't real since you were childhood friends and your parents are friends? The Consulate may suspect that you are only getting married so she can immigrate. What type of evidence did you submit and she have with her to support the validity of your relationship? That is the only thing I can really think of from what you have provided - for some reason they doubt the authenticity of your relationship.

Good luck on identifying what the problem was, because you will need to know what it is in order to address it so it doesn't cause any problems with a spousal visa. When your fiancee is able, do dissect the interview question by question. It may not be one specific question but a series of questions that will reveal their concerns.

Called... Like expected. They asked me the reason... Ugh... They said they do not have any control over visa issuance. and I need to wait 120 days in order for them to review the file that US Embassy sent back to them. only then I will find out the reason... how ridiculous.

And yeah Anna, I have no idea if that's not the case:( 0 guesses:(

[Maxzim 37]

Called USCIS... Like expected. They asked me the reason... Ugh... They said they do not have any control over visa issuance. and I need to wait 120 days in order for them to review the file that US Embassy sent back to them. only then I will find out the reason... how ridiculous.

Kathryn41,

Hi, this just happened to my fiancé and me on the 7th in the Dominican Republic. No reason given, sooo many questions were asked, and after the second round of questioning, I was sure we were fine, because we had answered all of the questions the same. We were given a letter and told the case would be sent back to USCIS. But the woman never called it a denial. I contacted my Congressman's office, and they are reaching out to the embassy, since they would not give me any information, to see if anything can be done and when the case is scheduled to go back to USCIS. From everything I have researched though, it seems a re-affirmed case is very unlikely. We went to see a lawyer and their recommendation was to get married and begin the spouse petition. However, we could wait it out he said. Send me a message if you would like to discuss further.

I watched your video. First, when they received the package they immediately dismantled your binder and threw it away. You included some little things thrown in the plastic pages, those might have gotten lost too. And, they will not read links or electronic stuff so they did not read your facebook chats at all.

How did you become a USC?

Did you get engaged on your first meeting?

Your parents know eachother, did you keep in touch all these years?

Where do your and her parents live?

Duplicate threads on the same topic have been merged together in one location - it is never a good idea to post the same topic in several different places.

Moderator hat off -

I watched your video. It looked like an excellent petition package and obviously got approved by USCIS in the US. Something at the Consulate level, however, acted to counter that package.

There are still 3 areas that come to mind: a) the familial connections - how 'quickly' the relationship developed may allow them to think that this is a family plan to arrange for your fiancee, and eventually her family to come to the US. I am not sure about the fraud level in her country but in view of the evidence that you did provide, I think they would be hard pushed to justify that one.

b) a security check on your fiancee revealed a possible problem - any interaction with the law, any previous immigration related activity, anything like that - especially if it was not revealed anywhere in the petition or at the interview

c) You provided them with your Facebook access - if there was something somewhere on her pages not related to you that sounded suspicious to them, they may have determined she is not being honest about the relationship in some way

Anyway, good luck.

I'm really sorry to hear that. There is a USCIS site that lists out rejected petitions.

I'm not sure they include all rejects or not. If you pull up some of the cases,

they specifically describe their reject reasons.

How did you immigrate to the US? Was it through marriage? If yes, they could suspect, all that was the part of "big plan"....

Now I have the same thought too...

So, the only way out seems to be just to get married and, if possible, live with her in her country and wait for the spousal visa.

Thank you for this! Personally, we are trying to fight this K-1 for now, and re-evaluate our decision based on how things go. We are taking things one day at a time. Honestly, deep down inside I believe we will need to get married and start over. I hope to some day find out WHY they denied our petition. Either from the final decision or by submitting a Freedom of Information Act request and getting all the notes on the case. We will see. Time will tell...

[Wait4ever? 50]

Sorry Max to hear about your ordeal. Given additional details I would also agree that the Embassy was looking into family connection and possible fraud. However, they should've given her the reason at the interview why the case is being sent back to USCIS.
