AP investigation grilling petitioner and beneficary

[khoamythovn 1]

My brother and his wife got the AP interview. Questions were very thorough, however 2 questions were answered not matching. First question was where did you go honeymoon? Wife answer correctly with Thailand. Husband answer wrong with Nha Trang(which was after the honeymoon). They called back again and asked that same question. Husband still answered wrong again with Nha Trang. Second question was what do you use for protection. Wife says condom, while husband says birth control. All other questions were okay since they matched the Timeline and other evidence submitted. They called at 1AM in America for the petitioner, while the beneficiary took about 90 mins for the interview.

What can be done to resolve this? A letter explaining it? What are the chances of denial? The husband is already planning to make the trip back if they require more evidence of relationship. etc...

Any thoughts?

uh oh, the Americans will through a big fit (and rightly so) if they were ever asked questions like that which are so private.poor immigrants have to bear the brunt just because the USCIS can. seems like they doubted the genuinity of this particular case to begin with. there is nothing in your hand. let them make a decision and go from there. you can challenge a negative decision if so.

This was a stoke interview, they are done if they already think something is suspect about the relationship.

Not sure if there is anything to be done, a letter would look like you just figured out that you have different answers not that you genuinely meant the same thing - arguing that the respondants meant the same thing has been argued when the question was about the paint colour of a room and they said very similar things like light cream and off white.

I would just wait it out and see what they would come back with. If it gets denied, then go from there. There is not much he and his wife can do right now.

How can the petitioner and beneficiary request to meet with the case worker? The petitioner is about to leave to VN in a few days to get a meeting. I notice there is an inquiry section for immigrant visa for cases after the interview was completed. But the email response could take days to reply and usually it's scripted with not useful information. I would assume cafe money would be in the works.

Coffee money? I do not think it would work with this situation.

You are dealing with the US government. Leave VN at the consulate's gate. There is no way to meet with the case worker. Coffee money??? Sure, go for it so the case can be closed. Did you not hear about the bribery at the US consulate a few years ago? Leave VN at the consulate's gate.

Coffee money??? Really?

Fast forward to now. Case was given NOID. It states a summary of the stoke interview Q & A. Things of what the petitioner said and what the beneficiary said. It compares that those Q & A are different. No matching answers. During the long paperwork wait, my brother and wife had a kid and submitted all documents. The kid is now a US Citizen. USCIS has approved the case. Now it's headed to NVC for continue process.

 

I guess having a kid will prove beyond reasonable doubt. Still a long journey to complete.
