case sent back to nvc

[Penguin_ie 5,996]

No I've had my interview already and was issued a 221g requesting to submit additional documents which i sent in. my passport was returned with a letter saying our file has been sent back to NVC

Additional proof of identity and additional proof of relationship. which i submitted. yes they received them.

You need to give us details if you want useable advice.

For example, "additional proof of identity" is very very rarely asked for. Did you not have a passport, is there something odd about your history (late registration of birth etc)?

What proof of relationship did you submit at interview, and what additional proof did you submit later?

No I am not British, i reside in the UK,he came to visit me last in April.

ok then that's lead to another question

Are you refugee in UK?

Do you hold your home country passport or different kind of travel document?

Do you have permenant residency in UK?

[ISBJORN10 5]

What is your nationality?

Do you hold your home country passport of British Travel document?

Are you refugee in Uk and or do you have permenant residency?

I hold a foreign passport,Nigerian to be precise. I have a new passport, CO requested to see the old one(I didn't have it with me) which i sent him copies of and additional proof of our relationship,guess he wanted our updated chats etc. I had those with me on day of interview but he refused to look at them. we got engaged 3 months after we met. the only question he asked about our relationship was how did we meet? and my fiance's name. I strongly believe he was suspicious of our relationship or perhaps because of our nationality(Nigerians) or maybe I'm wrong.

And the letter i received today says your case has been sent back to NVC for further review, just a polite way of saying the visa has been refused. NVC sends it back to USCIS to the best of my knowledge.

Okay , is your fiance niagerian also? Any age difference? For how long have you been in uk and what is the reason?

I remember a case from several years ago where the person PMed me his story. He was a citizen of another country, not the UK. He had changed his name to British sounding name but had no legal deed poll or good reason why. He had overstayed in the US 10 years, and somehow got back in and overstayed another 18 months. His son was petitioning him, but the son had no proof of his address...gave one but had no id because he really lived in two other states. Well the embassy gave him a hard time, but when the real story came out there was so-o-o many things wrong with the picture. Meanwhile he only posted in the UK forum that the embassy gave him a hard time and wanted more documentation.

If the situation is complicated and London didn't cheerfully grant a visa in three minutes, then there are serious red flags. They are actually quite good at their jobs and can sense when something doesn't add up.

He is Nigerian also,and yes there's six years difference between us, I am older. the other questions CO asked were has either of us been ever engaged/married/or have kids? which is all NO. and he issued the 221g requesting the additional documents which I sent. It's really exhausting to say the least. 11 months of our lives wasted.

I just figured the only mistake i made was not taking my old passport which i did not think of, other than that everything was fine, it was not a very long interview.

[ISBJORN10 5]

I don't think the old passport is the problem and 6 years age difference is not a problem either!

How many times he visited you? And for how long?

What documents has the original petition I129F

I have a new passport,i guess he wanted to see the old one as well. Nothing in my history. I had pictures of us, daily chats... but he did not ask to see them

only one visit,we haven't got a lot of money so we figured we save money up for our future plans, especially as we got a quick approval other than spend it on trips. maybe that was also a red flag. in our petition we had several pics,burden passes,hotel tickets,numerous pics,daily communications

I would advise that your fiance attend the interview with you next time round if at all possible. Good luck.

I guessed as much, I was just money conscious and did not see the need for more visits, I guess that was another mistake we made, no we met through a mutual friend not online lol.
