My husbands visa was denied solely on the reason we met on facebook. Is it a legal reason?

Did you convert for him or is your family Muslim? 

I converted on my own accord and not for him. He just introduced me to Islam.

Yep, either a misunderstanding on his part as to what the CO said or the CO gave a smoke-screen answer using FB as a reason to say he doesn't believe the marriage is genuine. More in person meeting is definately probably easiest was to help solve this.

Have you looked into moving to Pakistan? Or a third country where you can be together? Maybe UAE? If all you want is to be together the location is unimportant.

Well, my husband and I technically met on Twitter and were approved so it definitely isn't because of Facebook alone.

 

There's a lot of commentary indicating you and your husband have only met/been together in person once in the last 6 years. That is likely a big red flag. I agree with a previous poster that your husband not having strong English skills may have also been a factor, and possibly resulted in him misunderstanding something. That itself may have been a factor, also.

The one solution to all red flags is more time actually spent together.....

That was our next course of action. I refuse to move to Pakistan as how much I am not comfortable on how much attention I get there but he really want s to move to Germany but UAE might be a better option

They gave him the paper saying why it was denied and the only thing written on it was across the top saying it was denied. No other reason was marked on the paper. Every thing I sent them was accepted online. He also said about it was that they Said that his English was poor. (Which shouldn't matter) 

if it was because we didn't meet enough times or that it was because he was unfit to marry then would they have just said that directly instead of telling him that it was denied because we ment on facebook? 

Yeah that’s not the reason. Your husband is either hiding something or most likely didn’t understand what happened at the interview if he doesn’t speak English. I bet you were denied because they think you’re not a real couple. You need to meet more than once in 6 years to be married. Or in any relationship in my opinion. Who goes 6 years without seeing each other? Fake couples.

You met ONCE in 6 years?

 

Thats your denial right there. 

 

NOT facebook.

 

Plenty of people have met on facebook and had successful petitions. 

[JFH 12,191]

That will do a lot to support your next application if you live together for a few years somewhere else.

So what does it mean?? 

Nobody is giving me actual information on what I should be doing next? 

If you feel you have more evidence to submit now you can attempt (although very unlikely you'll get it)  to have your senator request a second interview.  Perhaps you can attend.   I tried to get a second interview before they sent the case to NVC but it was returned the same day my senator made contact.  Its worth a shot.

 

Once the case reaches NVC it will be there for about a month or so then forwarded to USCIS.   You'll get a notification when USCIS is reviewing your case.   Once you receive a NOIR from USCIS (this is a Notice of Intent to Revoke the originally approved petition) you''ll have 30 days to respond with your rebuttal against the embassy's claims.

 

In the meantime you need to plan more visits an compile more evidence of an ongoing relationship.   Meet his family (if you haven't already).   Make sure you document everything.  

 

There isn't much you can do right now...your only option is to wait.

Thank you. You and The other posters have made it clear too as to why it was actually denied and its not because of solely facebook.

Yeah either do more in-person visits or live together elsewhere and then refile if you still want to reside with him in the US. Visiting each other only once in six years weakened your case immensely. Tons of unmarried people in long distance relationships see each other more than that. Electronic communication is supporting evidence, not primary evidence. It's not enough to convince the US government your relationship is real. They want to see you've hung out in person so that needs to become your priority before attempting a refile.

As the title says, my husband and I have applied for a visa last year and yesterday he went to his final.interview and they flat out denied the visa Do my on the reason that we met on facebook 6 years ago. My father was a avodite of support and makes 66k per year. I went last year to Pakistan to visit him so we could use that as proof. We gave them ample proof as to our marriage, relationship beyond facebook and that we were completely able to take care of ourselves but regardless of all the proof, it was flat out denied just because we initially on facebook. Is that even a legal reason? What steps should I take next? 

 

My husband has informed me that they have denied every single visa of couples who met on facebook. Is there any justace I cam get for this? It's such a bad excuse. 

 

Please someone help. I have known him for 6 years. We really wanna be together but we are at a loss at this point. 

Have not read the responses to your question, but that is not correct. Meeting on FB is not the issue...there are other things he is not telling you about that they asked him. We met on FB too...it was not even brought up.

Right there is one big reason why he was denied...the PRIMARY reason for his move should be to be with you..not living in another country
