Hello, Please explain to me, what is going on. I am really not happy here and thats not good for any of us. so as calmly as I can, I ask again. and be as respectful as I can, can you please explain this to me, Why,  Liliana my fiance goes to the K1 Fiance interview, and she gets grilled about a change of address, which I furnished everybody a few months ago. then she sits there for a few hours and was told that they cant approve the visa and to wait five days for her documents and passports to be delivered to the embassy, in Medellin for pick up. Is this  a procedure that the consulate follows?  I see that in most cases the immigrant was told they were approved and signed a few forms and to pick up there visas at the location provided, in a bout 5 days. Or there passport was handed back and they were givin a slip of paper saying they were on administrative review and that could take up to 60 days.  Then there is the straight denial and they hand your passport back and say sorry denied.

I dont see the win or lose in our situation and it puts us in a very awkward situation. We deserved some type of confirmation or answer. I dont think anybody would see this as a professional and courteous way to treat an American veteran, who proved his worthiness and loyalty to our great nation. I am very unhappy right now as you can see. please take 10 minutes of your day and explain to me what we are going to do to remedy this situation, thank you

You do not mention much about your situation so I am going to assume that they do not believe you have a real relationship, certainly happens.

 

Next step would be to get married, spend time together etc.

I stated that there is only 2 outcomes, yes or no, if they keep yr passport, than you cant do anything, why would they do that f it wasnt approved. I have not found in any reviews, that they just said we cant approve it and keep your passport. ten say they will send it in 5 days.

As has been said we do not know the details so it becomes a guessing game. 

 

So you moved to Columbia, spent 4 years there with her? And now back in the US?

So they kept her passport? Could just be a form of AP (administrative processing) while they check the address history. Nobody here knows, as we don’t work for the embassy and played no part in her application process. All we can do is speculate. 

 

Your moral character plays absolutely no part in this. It is laudable that you served the country to the point of permanent injury but that doesn’t affect this at all. If you are expecting to get some form of golden ticket to bring your fiancée here because you are a veteran, you are going to be disappointed. You go through the same process as everyone else. By contrast, my USC husband is a convicted felon with years of prison time behind him and that didn’t cause any issues at all. The character of the immigrant matters, but (barring a few exceptions) past actions, honorable or dishonorable, of the USC play no part.  

My thoughts, also..........
