Military spouse needs help !!!

[Islandgirl93 24]

Anyone here denied after application with their military spouse? How can I explain to uscis that a military marriage is not your average marriage? My husband spends majority of his time away because he’s defending his country. We live away from friends and family most times. Your spouse isn’t away on vacation but they have a duty and a job and they can’t just say no to their orders.  Life as a mil spouse is not the regular and I wish they’d be more understanding.

What precisely was denied and what was the reason given?

K1 or CR1/IR1?  What application?

Does not seem an issue generally.

Military and their spouses have it hard enough.  What was denied?

I was on a tourist visa then filed to adjust my status. We were denied because my husband had orders to pcs to Germany. I couldn’t go as my filing had just started. The IO said it’s unlikely that my husband would leave his behind on duties in just the first year of marriage. My brother stated in the affidavits that he and my husband meet during their service together and that’s how my husband and I meet. The IO said he didn’t like that my husband and brother are friends. Also my husband has his parents and myself as beneficiary for his sgli they said he should remove his parents and keep only me. I think this is grossly biased.

We filed in Georgia but the interview took place in South Carolina, which I’m hearing now is not an immigration friendly place. The interview went well. Simple questions which we both answered truthfully. We had our album with a mix of pictures mostly us. But he declined to view them. I’m beyond upset because someone on the forum had the nerves to tell me to go back home to my country. How do I just leave my husband and marriage behind? People are so inconsiderate these days it’s beyond me

What exactly were stated as the reasons for denial in the denial notice?

It appears you have been married for more than two years. What did you provide to show commingling of finances,  commitment to each other such as wills, life insurance, joint major purchases, etc.

What exactly did it say on the denial letter?

That's more than weird. Usually they know better about military life.

The military is unpredictable but Uscis knows how it works. I just wonder why you didn’t go with your husband and appeal/update uscis that you were going to be overseas under military orders

From looking at your previous posts about your denial, it sounds like the lack of financial co-mingling was the reason. Were you able to get added to your husband’s bank account and/or utility bill as suggested?

It sounds like the problem was a lack of evidence (exacerbated by your husband's time away due to his military status.) The time away wouldn't matter imho if you had enough quality evidence. Reiterating what was already said, dis you show additional co-mingling of finances? Maybe you could add some medical and financial power of attorney documents. Affadavits and (generally) photos are seconday evidence - having five affadavits or 20 doesn't make a difference, except maybe to annoy the person reading your case.

Did your husband command sponsored you(had you added to his orders)? as one of the benefits of military members and there dependents. regardless on where you travel, you are still considered in the US. My amended orders were used as supporting documents for the I-130. After the soft approval and we were required to step on American soil. So we traveled to Guam from Japan. after that we had not been back to US soil or the United states. it very well might be easier to get approved well you are with your husband overseas. just remember once you get the soft approval you will be required to travel to US territory.
