Thanks a lot for your wishes. I'm really an emotional person so yesterday hit me really hard but I am thankful my hubby is

always there to support and comfort me. We are doing everything the consular requested. That's what we need to stay focused on. We can't let words get to us..... We have to be strong for each other.

There is your issue.

I'd disagree with this....the refusal rates are quite high because of suspected fraud and past fraud. https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Statistics/Non-Immigrant-Statistics/RefusalRates/F

This is more of the issue than anything else. One meeting over a year ago with a high fraud embassy.

What is your plan B, will you be moving?

Thanks for your wishes and understanding.  Me and my husband submitted all the evidence they requested especially all our photos together with his family and our marriage & reception photos. I emailed parachat yesterday and they told me  they couldn't obtain records for the year we met each other.  I also wrote a letter to the officer  explaining the situation with the chatroom.  I have so much evidence that backs up my relationship with my husband on Skype from 2014 till now in video chatting. Both our families are aware of our relationship and support us. Well, we are doing what they ask us to and that is what I'll stay focused on.

FYI - Pakistan isn't a high fraud country and you cant just go to police and tell them to give you a Police clearance certificate, they have a process to verify your data from NADR ( National Database and Registration Authority ) I have a huge family and nobody had any problems with it. They have B2 visas for 5 years so No Pakistan is not considered as a "high fraud country."

Traditionally on VJ Nigeria was No 1, though Ghana seems to be making a strong push.

 

I would have though Pakistan was in up there near the front.

Dude give me some reliable news with strong sources. Does USCIS verified this news? Does any U.S. Embassy verified that? Come with a strong reliable source and I know you won't find one to keep trying.

I hear you, I am on the same boat -- yoga, breathing and my husband saves the day, then, now and tomorrow!

Exactly and the thing we need to keep in sight is that, this (journey) will end one day. It is not forever! Just try to hang in there and breath.

 

I have know couples who have fought for 2-3 years before they were able to unite. In the end, if the relationship is real (and there is nothing fraudulent going on) and you can show it by hanging together, you will have your happy ending.

 

We went through a rough Embassy and had ample red flags (you guys do not have!) and our case approval was not based on luck. We were able to show massive amounts of face time as well as daily communication, financial co-mingling, photos of all the trips we took etc. etc.

 

Hang in there, breath, re-group and go back at it! :)

Do you think the writer of the article just pulled the information out the air?
