After my emails and after my Congressman emails and phone calls to US Embassy, the Embassy asked for his PASSPORT in February. He was refused visa at his interview in January. 

 

Last response to Congressman from Embassy was February 12th saying, they are reviewing the case and its in cue for CO to review. The Embassy also said that they do not know why their website is saying refused for his visa. I noticed the case status date keep changing but nothing from Embassy. They are saying its under review. 

so while it has been denied, it is being reviewed. Is that the current status?

Maybe you should just wait for the review process to be completed?

Ok if it is under review then you have to actually wait to see the final outcome. That could take days, weeks, or months until it is decided on.

I sympathize with you OP, I know how it feels being far away from loved ones. I just hope that everything works out for the both of you as this journey certainly exhausts time, resources, etc.

I filed I-130 petition with USICS, March 9th 2017 for my Husband to come home with me in Georgia. My I-130 petition was approved by USICS in August, 2017. NVC sent our case to Embassy in Ghana for my husband immigrant visa processing to come to the US.  My husband interview was in January. He was denied visa under 212 (a) (4).

 

I wrote US Embassy in Ghana and my Congressman also wrote the Embassy on my behalf, asking Embassy to show proof to support their decision that my Husband will BECOME a public charge in America. The US Embassy first response to me was that my Husband was denied under 214 B Non Immigrant Visa and his case is closed. They listed on their website that visa was refused.

I responded back to the US Embassy in Ghana that he did not apply for a non-immigrant visa. I advised them my I-130 petition was approved by USICS for my husband to live in the USA permanently. February, 7th 2018 US Embassy reply to me and my Congressman thru email and their call center informed me to send my husband Passport and any documents of my own choice. 

 

The US EMBASSY in Ghana is a unlawful, unethical place. They are abusing their authority and destroying Families. Enough is Enough. I will fight all the way to the Supreme Court of the US to end this injustice that this Embassy in Ghana is doing. Nothing we did was for free. We paid immigration fees, affidavit of Support, medical, police certifications and $355 for that visa. I will fight!!

This is the best you can do for now. Let your congressman help you and update on your behalf. As long as your case status date is being updated then that means they are doing something. I'd suggest to always update your congressman's office.

 

P.S. You can call the embassy and ask to make you an escalation case. Goodluck!

"Refused" is not the same as "denied".  As I understand it from the thread yesterday.

 

1.  They asked asked for additional documentation after his interview and you sent it to them

2.  They have his passport...

3.  Current status on CEAC says "Refused"

4.  They told you they are reviewing the case.

 

If all of the above is true, there is no need to panic.  In our case, my wife was also given a paper which asked for additional documents.  Immediately after her interview, the CEAC status changed to "Refused".  After they had reviewed the documents, the status changed to "Issued".

 

 

[Ben&Zian 4,398]

 still sticking with it's a smoke screen for embassy and really another reason for the "refusal".

There is no age difference. Their is no religion involved. My Husband don't go to Church. We are not Muslims, Christians, Jews or whatever else religion you want to throw out there. Nothing is wrong with Us. Its that we met fell in love married and want to settle in US to live. We did nothing.  That Embassy in Ghana is just as lawless as the country Ghana is. We did everything legally. This is Why my Congressman is writing on my behalf. So stop your conspiracy theory. My rights as a US Citizen is being violated by a Lawless unethical US Embassy in Ghana. So if you cant answer the question. Move off the post. I need people who have solutions. Not those who are posting to point blame on Us. And Yes That is my Husband and I am his wife. What else you want to know. 

to actaully help you,  you will find out that you need to do same as many from high fraud countries have done

First of all congressmen can not really change things / immigration is not under the federal budget and even wriiting to the secrecatary of state and president hold no help

second  what will happen:

your case will be returned to USCIS office and you will hear in about 6 months / a letter will come to you will the issues embassy has

and yes,  some are totally bogus 

but you will have to prove these are (just as you said ) 

you can recieve a NOIR Notice of intent to refuse and you will be given a period of time to refute the issues with documentation that the embassy is wrong (solid proof)

or

you will recieve a NOID Notice of Intent to Deny and you can pay the fee and appeal (takes about a year to hear about appeal)

one of our VJ members did an appeal and won and the notice said marriage is bona fida and you are allowed to reapply (Write to adil-rafa as they went thru a 6 year ordeal and she may be able to tell you what they had to do)

we do wish all people who do this leagally and follow the USCIS rules the best 

no one is here to for anything else but to help each other

and there is a lot of good solid responses in your husband's post   / read them as they come from a lot of experience 

but USCIS only approves that the applicaiton has all the needed items (not an approval of visa)  and the embassy is totally in charge of visas / like it or not

in my opinion and mine alone i believe they deny at times trying to make people give up and many do as it starts to get expensive and a drain on the relationship

good luck and just don't give up on your husband

This was bought up in husband's post

it can be thought that he is not qualified for a decent job in the US because of lack of education and unable to support you thru your child bearing years when you will be out of work for a period of time

and yes,  write to me

i will tell you the BS i had to do to get my husband here

mostly it will be commingly of fianances / a step usually not taken till husband is in the US 

we really are alll here to help each other

Kris & me:Good you said it all, the immigration system for marriage is totally different. Most of the people don't understand how immigration works, we have two(2)common words in immigration processing but the meaning for that two (2)common words are stressful(REFUSED AND DENIED)Some certain cases COs can refused for lack of documents and evidences submitted and the case will send back to USCIS for further investigation and if everything works in good they send the case back to COs where you interview for approval and it take a lots of time.Denied is a denied you can't do anything about it,normally(10)out of(100)cases are mostly denied and (90)out of(100)are refused.So all cases refused by COs got second chance to proved your eligibility. All the cases has been review by COs before the interview so if you are approved they know before your interview. Keep it up and good luck.

I get that you are upset but there are many inaccurate assumptions in your statements.

 

‘We paid immigration fees, affidavit of Support, medical, police certifications and $355 for that visa. I will fight!!’

 

No you paid a petition fee ( to petition for the spouse to be able to apply for the visa) and an application fee (for your husband to submit himself for interview) Your husband has no right to a visa, he does have the priviliage ( through your petition) to apply for a visa. 

 

‘If my Husband was in the USA he would of had his green card since August when USICS approved my I-130 petition.’

 

Not necessarily, if he was in the US and you did file both together then he would get the green card from when the 485 was approved which isn’t always at the same time as the 130.

 

 ‘my Husband is a professional Footballer registed with Ghana Football Assoc’

 

This might be the crux of the issue, A lot of footballers want to go to either Europe or USA for the money involved, maybe they think he is using you to further his football career.

 

@Adil & Jeanne is very knowledgeable about the difficulties of high fraud embassies.

This site is useless. Why cant anyone answer this simple question.  Why US Embassy do not give a formal letter explaining their proof that my Husband is likely to become a public charge?  My second question. How do we move forward with his case since we have proven without a reasonable doubt that he has overcome this public charge?

His career has nothing to do with it. AGE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. 

WE made money, both me and my Husband. My Husband sends money monthly to pay Our bills in Atlanta. He pays his lights food gas ect in Ghana. Why must we live separate when the US Embassy have zero reason tto lawfully deny his visa. I helped my Husband overcome 212 (a) (4).

My Husband is the head of our Household. He pays for my flights back and forth the Ghana. Due to my work right now in America I cannot be flying back and forth. I will fight. I am a US Citizen and my speculationis this. Because Im African American and my Husband is Ghanaian, his visa is being denied because of Our Race. 

 

I will fight. And I got nothing else to say on this post. No info was useful. You people looking at Us as fault when all the Fault is at that lawless unethical kangaroo US Embassy in Ghana not following the law but allowing opinions of CO mess up people life. And check yourself...they cannot stop my Husband from living at his own home in America. Both our names are on the deed. The Embassy cannot violate my 4th and 14th Amendment rights. All they are doing is delaying Us. And my time is valuable and they wont keep my Husband from his home with Me.

 thank you. You're advise is very useful.  I appreciate that. I am in process of preparing Federal lawsuit and will be in Washington DC next Friday with my Senator to address areas of the Immigration law that needs to be amended for US Citizens, born in America. Not nationalize.
