K1 visa denied section 221(g)

[Achromatic 0]

The consular denied her because there were only 2 letters and 1 trip to Vietnam and said our relationship was a sham.

It is starting to seem like the COs are taking a hard look at the number of visits and length of relationship...

Well we are going into our interview with just one visit, and brief at that. Not Vietnam of course, but I would think that not everyone can afford to jet set across the globe repeatedly, nor can everyone who happens to love another from half way around the world drop everything and spend the time they might desire with their SO.

I had in incredibly hard time leaving, and had wanted to visit J for a very long time. Not at all sure what I would do in your position, and sincerely hoping the same fate does not await us.

I sincerely hope that you can turn this around, and either get this petition back on track or drop it and start another. Good luck to you!

Not everyone can, but the question they're asking is "after one visit, are you willing to PACK UP YOUR LIFE for this person"... that's a harsh way of looking at it but true.

As a side note, here I am, having arrived on a K-1 (and married just last weekend, so now there's the AOS joy to go through) from Melbourne Australia to Seattle Washington!

(And we had two trips, I flew out here March last year for seven days, and in July flew my fiancee to Australia for 11 days).

Next week Thao will meet a lawyer from the USA who is in HCMC to discuss our case and options. I hope we can overcome this huge hurdle of lack of evidence prior to the engagement.

October 2006 my fincee's visa was denied and sent back to the states to USCIS California. (arrived 2-06-07) The consular denied her because there were only 2 letters and 1 trip to Vietnam and said our relationship was a sham. After the denial, I have made another trip to Vietnam. The consular ignored all the emails,phone records and other evidence of communication I had in my document package. I don't know what to do next or what to expect.

Hi Dave,

Sorry to hear your problem.

Hi Dave,

This is an old thread (started in February). You may have better luck emailing the original poster (in case they don't come by VJ very often).
