K1 Visa Denied

[NH Man 1]

Is she older than you? Is she of child bearing age still?

Paying for her child's college is quite a big financial gift that could be of impact to the decision.

No child bearing age. Financial help, I took the responsibility of the tuition fee etc.

She is Sikh or you are?

What did the interviewer focus on when they asked questions?

Was your fiancee denied outright, or given a chance to submit more proof?

CO asked her 3 questions. 1. What is the name and age of my son? 2. What do i do for living? 3. When was the last time she saw me? She answered all those questions right without hesitation. He asked her to wait for few minutes. He returned with a paper of denial reason.

I am a Sikh. and Hindu marriages are very common. My mother and grandmother were from Hindu family.

religion should not be an issue here. or for anyone else.

Sadly religion can be an issue at interview. If it's common in the area and culture for the two people that want to get married to be of the same religion, they may not believe the relationship is valid if it's against the cultural norm. While multi-religious marriages/Multi-race relationships/Age-gap relationships are normal in the US, if it's not the cultural norm in the place the foreign fiance lives, it can hurt them at the interview.

Yea, a 13-year age difference with the male being older isn't uncommon in that region. I'm not sure if religion has a role to play here because you say you provided pictures of families with each other, which would speak to the fact that the families are accepting regardless of you being sikh and she hindu. For next time, it might be a good idea to also provide affidavits from your families attesting to their acceptance.

such a long relationship for K1? I think it raised a suspicion.

i dont think the length of time they have been together prior to submitting the k1 has anything to do with it.. i say that because i was with my now husband for 3years before we started the k1 process and by the time my interview rolled around we had been together 4 years

just gave my opinion, each case is different, read again the case in question and will realize several possible red flags, five years of relationship to ask for a K1? , Would not be more logical to marry? after all, who waited five years, you can wait 6 years.

yes i do agree there is a red flags especially the financial part of it... there was nothing wrong with your comment I wasnt trying to bash what you said or anything i hope you didnt take it that way cause i wasnt meant in that sence.. i just personally didnt see the 5 years being a red flag since my own personal situation was close to the same amount of years in a relationship before my interview

Maybe the filed for the K-1 so they could marry without having to be apart afterwards

We think one thing, however who is evaluating can think of another.
