Well for 1, my fiancé isn't Muslim. So it's completely normal for him to date. 2 she asked my fiancé about people she seen us talk about in our messages which was my Co-worker and my boss, because I'm extremely close with them. My fiancé answered correctly. 3 she asked about me being married before, he answered yes. She never said anything else about that. And she asked about my children from my previous marriage. She asked about our pictures and said how nice they were. She asked who put them together and the rest of the evidence and my fiancé answered. She asked who some of the people were in our pictures and he answered which was our friends. So now you tell me what other grounds did she have to deny us. Our age difference did not play a part nor did she even ask about age. She said verbatim" hmmmm 4 years in a relationship, no marriage and no children, I'm sorry Mr.Annan I cannot grant you this visa. I hate when people try to make something it's not. If there was something there other than what she said, how come she complimented all of the evidence and how nice everything was....

<<3 she asked about me being married before, he answered yes. She never said anything else about that. And she asked about my children from my previous marriage.>>

That's what got you denied... you jumped in a marriage and child in your first marriage and this time you are waiting a longer period of time.

Thank Ebunoluwa, I thought I made myself clear in the beginning but to those of you who didn't read sorry..

AnaKarina this is far from hostile sweetie... I think your consulate was Dominican Republic, so u wouldn't understand the frustration and the corrupt #### these people here do.

Is it really corrupt or the fact that we are speaking of a high fraud country? Just like high fraud country they are going to be tougher than any other country. Your love may be real and so are many others but on the flip side there are so many that are willing to commit fraud to get here. This is not an easy process for anyone no matter what embassy or consulate we are applying to. Everyone is fair game for a denial. OP I really hope you can get a second interview. It is sad that people have to be such a hard @ss. Good luck and if all else fails get married and after your visa approval write a nice letter to the embassy there for the COs wonderful treatment (insert sarcasm). Good luck!!

You weren't denied just for not having children, I don't believe that. I believe 4 years is a long time not to be married. Again everyone situation is different, for whatever reason you guys didn't get engaged sooner and married CO made her own assumptions. Sorry to hear about this but what better way to prove them wrong by getting married and filing CR1. Good Luck and God bless and be strong. I strongly believe everything happens for a reason whatever this is for will be revealed.

What are you talking about her being denied for jumping into a previous marriage ?

Pure speculation on your part.

No, I didn't attend the interview. But how much of a dummy do you all think my fiancé is? He came out 2 seconds after it was over. But the interview was Wednesday, after being asked was I there and why wasnt I in the building with him he was asked to come back the next day and that I was able to attend. Unfortunately I stood in the line and because my name wasn't on the paper I could not attend..

Rather I attended or not, she knew I was there...as I stated before she just did that because she could. I'm frustrated, so sorry..

Ma'am, take it easy. No one is saying your fiancee is a 'dummy'. I understand why you are reacting like that. Right now, you are filled with emotions. Of course, you put in resources (money,time etc) into this journey. So, for it to end like this is indeed agonizing!

Please note that Fiancee visa or any other type of visa for that matter is a privilege. So, the Applicant at the interview is expected to convince the CO's before he/she can obtain it. I'm from Nigeria which is 'designated' just like Ghana, as a 'high fraud visa' country. And note that this designation came because of what our people did in the last 20 years or so. I'm a victim of visa fraud myself. I had to go back to Nigeria last year to marry another woman after the woman I came with from Nigeria eloped. The COs are human beings like you and I. They hear and see all these things. Circulars and memoranda are issued to the COs often times about different countries.

You need to understand the mentality of these COs. You must know what they are looking for in your answers. One question about a photograph alone can create a doubt if the Applicant's answer is inconsistent. And because the visa is not automatic, it may be denied.

Therefore, whether you have a second interview or get married, try first to decipher exactly what probably went wrong in the answers as the same question may come during K1's second interview or eventual spousal visa interview.

In my humble view, 'strange' visa denials in Nigeria and Ghana today are natural consequences of what our people have done in the past. It is unfortunate.

No you definitely have more. By the way the CO is not to re adjudicate an approved petition based on speculative

nonsense, personal bias and assumptions but provide factual evidence for the refusal reason.

How the heck would you know OP jumped into anything and even that is totally baseless and irrelevant.

In my job I have to analyze correctly what is indicated and what isn't or it could physically hurt my clients. Perhaps some Ghana CO's would be better equipped to raising petunias than raising hell ! To refuse so many visas just because it's a high fraud country is lazy work when it's based on such BS.

Why ask for suggestions only to mock them. ??? You and ebunoluwa should just pm and ignore the people on here who are just trying to help and understand your story.

You have a few options

1 re apply as his wife after you marry him

2 try and get a second interview

3 drop the case all together

What ever you may choose to do dont take your stress out on people on here even suggesting they are not educated.

How do you analyze with may be 10% max of the data the CO had?

“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.”

Where do you pull 10% from ?

If what laid before the CO met the criteria then it should be approved. I can't repeat over and over again that a CO is not to re adjudicate an

approved petition and if he refuses then he is to state the factual reasons.
