I've been waiting for yalls!! The best of luck to you!!! 💜

The interview went well! They couldn't say it's approved because they don't have the results of the medical, yet. We expected that. They did keep Neil's passport and told him to expect it back in one to two weeks. His appointment was at 9:00 and he was out, and calling me, at 9:35.  Thank you so much for your support!

Interview was today. we got denied. Consul said from the get go that we didn't have enough evidence [photos and chat logs]. With application, I sent 2 to 3 pics per trip...there were 7 trips between first in person meeting and time of filing. I also sent 17 double side pages of phone log/conversations spanning 14 months. Today, we also took pics of last 2 trips post filing and additional logs. She still said it wasnt enough. She asked some Qs and then sent us to another area where we both got interview separately...him longer than me. Of note, the mother of his two daughters and I have the same last name. The investigator asked me what was my relationship with her: I said none that I'm aware of. Later on, my fiance told me he was told it was too coincidental that both women share same last name. Investigator told me after all his questioning that he had proof that we were a fraud and that I was only doing him a favor and that as a US citizen with children I needed to think and tell the truth. I said I was very secure in my relationship with my fiance and to add to his previous questions of why we didn't get married sooner it was for that very same reason, we wanted to foment a relationship and ensure matrimony is what we wanted. So, he sent us back to consul who after another lengthy wait, told us he's ineligible for visa... reason listed in page: fraud, misrepresentation...

 

Speaking with my fiance on all the Qs, we provided same answers using similar/same exact responses.

 

Devastated....yeah...I'm boarding my flight back to NYC with an unexpected outcome. that's my sin for the day: I was sure it was gonna be an approval.

Oh my god so sorry that you got denied but fight for your case. @Greenbaum what can she do in her case?

So glad to hear this! A tentative congratulations to the both of you! Did they ask for much in the way of proof of income? I have Andrew's 2018 tax transcript, 2 most recent LES statements from the military and his W2. Also a list of all his stocks/bonds. We had issues getting a letter from his bank, hoping this isn't an issue.

Thank you! I don't know what they asked for, yet. Neil is on his way back to the room he is renting and then we'll chat. I didn't have a letter from the bank, either, so that's obviously not an issue. My income is above the 125% we'll need for AOS, so my bank accounts probably don't matter as far as they're concerned, anyway.  When I asked my bank for the letter, they acted like they had never heard of such a thing. They truly seemed baffled!

I'm so sorry to hear this 😔. I'm not sure what will happen now if you marry since they're already claiming fraud. I hope you can find a way to be together. That's so devastating.

Likewise! They couldn't understand what he was asking for. So we just gave up! Andrew is also over the 125% for AOS so really should be no issues but I'm just paranoid haha. So pleased for you guys, 3 weeks today and it'll be my turn!

I'm so sorry to hear this. This is literally my fear when my fiance has her interview. She was denied for a tourist visa last year before we had even met (she was intending to visit me here in the US in the fall of 2018 after I visited her in Australia that summer) but they told her she didn't have enough 'ties' to her home country. Now it's been nearly a year, we've met twice and spent a total of 5 weeks together but I worry despite all our proof of pictures and chat logs that it won't be enough 😢

Yours will be quick and easy - and you won't have to wait for your medical results! I'm excited for you! It won't be long now!

I'm so sorry it turned out this way. My heart goes out to you. When you're able to think, you and your fiance will come up with another plan. You can get married and apply for a CR1. You have not been defeated. ❤️

[Derek & Cece 27]

A backup plan is important. My fiance and I have discussed either trying for CR1 visa or else having me immigrate to Australia instead

There isn't much they can do. If she can stay long enough to get married  then they can file a CR-1. The embassy has to approve it unless their is some prevailing reason not to and there doesn't sound like there is. Get married now. File the paperwork.  You'll be done in 6 months.

There are some countries which are harder then some others. Australia is not one of them that is hard. Your middle east and African countries are difficult. Denied tourist Visa will have no baring on a K-1 visa.
