Can a visa be denied, if.... relationship is only 13 months,met once in this time

I have read all the interviewers comments about their interview with addis. No one has an issue with the interview nor were they out to get anyone. All where approved if they needed more information they got it and went back.... All where approved.

We had known each other over a year and spent a month together for the K 1 / it was denied

married and spent 2 months together and another 1 month later in the same year and next year 3 months for Ramadan and CR 1 was denied

again another CR1 application and spent another 3 months and that one was approved after 2 year processing

Good luck but all African countires are considered high fraud countries

the process is long and difficult and will wear on even the most patient person

make sure it does not ruin a wonderful relationship

don't take any immigration issues out on each other / discuss them and resolve any issues

meet as many times as possible and enjoy this time of courtship

Ethiopia is not 100% approval rate and people on here are only a percent of people applying. Maybe your chances are good because your embassy may or may not be easy but no guarantees until a CO says your approved.

Ethiopia is a MENA not sure what, if any is their AP wait time.

You are stressing all over the forum about Noa2 now this relax nothing with immigration is guaranteed.

People in the group MARCH FILERS, are after me, approved and interview set or approved....im still waiting on RFE answer. Our journeys are all unique.

set time frame for approval

guranteed visa

lots of stress

tear joy or/and hurt

Soooo many unhappy endings and many happy

No offense but this journey requieres tough girl panties.....

A visa cannot be denied for meeting only once., BUT a visa does not need to be approved because you met once.

As others have said, face time is one of the most important things to get approved, and it is hard to get approved with only one short meeting like you had, especially if you have other red flags such as age difference, educational differences, recent divorce, previous immigration attempts etc.

^{Him and I don't have any red flags at all. but thank you all for your information.... I will continue to pray for us both. Him and I have nothing to hard nor are we doing anything to make someone believe that this is fake.... I am aware that we have no guarantee of an approval.}

I wonder about this too.

my husband and i started talking aug 2014 and we decided to be bf/gf on october 2014. I went home march 2015. lived with him for 6 mos. got married on aug 2015. I've met all his family members even his close friends and he met all my family and friends too. i went back to us sept 2015. filed for his petition jan 2016. I'm planning to go home in few weeks. will there be a problem on approving his visa?

No there shouldn't be, you have been with your husband more than once. I only went to Ethiopia once. Plus your visa would be different than ours. You would do the marriage one that takes longer but you could apply that way.
