So angry. Need VJ advice on reporting this

[TS210 0]

I was encouraged to come here in hopes I can get helpful answers on how to report this fraud. I want to have this investigated but not sure how. I need advice. Do I contact the Embassy directly involved or NVC here? I have evidence. The person I am fuming about is a part of this VJ community and in a facebook group I am a part of, so I opted to leave out details of the country but will say its MENA (not one of the banned countries though). I believe in my heart someone at our US Embassy is being paid by a local attorney who collects a large sum of money for meetings prior to interviews. I dont have proof but its a hunch. Because she isnt very smart she has openly talked about this. They are a red flagged couple. So how in the world did he get immediate approval and the rest of us honest K1 MENA couples are still in AP for months? I'll tell you how. That meeting with that attorney Im sure made the difference. Ivefor almost 2 years Ive heard many people saying here how he knows someone at the Embassy and I never believed it, I always blew it off. So here is info on the couple:

 

- She is American not sure her religion

- She is between 48-51 (lies about her age each time but whatever) 

- She is divorced two teenage kids

- He is Arab muslim

- He is 29

- His brother is married to an American in USA and his american wife is the best friend of the petitioner. Brother int he states introduced her to his brother

(all red flags for this country so far right.....let me keep going)

- He speaks ZERO english and she speaks zero arabic and have had a translator between them from day one

- They did ketab keteb (a big no-no for k1) and hasnt openly admitted it but he himself gave it away

- His FB page shows videos of the pre-party before the ceremony and her in the ceremonial dress 

- The comments under the videos are friends and family congratulating the bride and groom

- As soon as his interview was finished, he changed his FB status to MARRIED and tagged her (thinking he is done with interview no need to hide)

- She still shows engaged on hers

 

and this guy gets approved on the spot while others who barely have but one red flag are still in AP?? !!! They congratulated him, hardly asked questions and took his passport which is not even typical anymore for K1 MENA since May of this year. 

 

The only difference, they met with this lawyer before the interview for a consult and paid a large sum of money. I thought it was for the petition but she did it herself.

 

Im not keeping quiet. What can I do BESIDE email the embassy who Im sure wont reply or do anything about it.

If you have concrete evidence of fraud, contact USCIS. The details are at the bottom of every page on this site. 

 

Apart from the ceremony, none of the things listed is evidence of potential fraud.

You could try the Embassy, but if they have someone in there that is taking money I doubt it will get very far. 

If he hasn't entered yet. You could also email proof of marriage to CBP. As he is supposed to be single when he enters.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Something is up from the interviewer. There is no way every single male from our country has gone into AP following interviews except for this one. Thank you.

amazing that they cant do anything since i dont have the NVC case number. its what they just told me. I know USCIS will not get to this in time. I will try dept of state and border control I guess. I would be so mad if I learn later he came here bypassing all the waiting. I hate benefit liars.

FYI - 

AP is not solely an embassy thing. The Department State have the longer arm in it. So, your claims, whether true or false, are not very valid.

Based on what you are saying about AP, the person getting paid would be in the Department State, and not the embassy. That is a very far fetched theory.

So what is it do you have proof or not?

 

I mean do you know their case good enough to say they didn't have a solid strong case?

 

This will be very hard for you to prove unless you have solid evidence without a he said she said thing from others.

Follow lemonslice's advice. Every government agency has an OIG (Office of Inspector General) or equivalent. I know complaints to our agency's OIG are taken seriously.

I would contact the embassy

they have a list of legally paid employees

if this person is not on the list,  someone is getting paid under the table

and although it is common practice for many countries (like ours Morocco),  it is not legal in a US embassy

 

i was particually upset myself when a woman from Fes (husband an English teacher in the US ) got the ds 5535 in December 2018 and still waits to hear

Fes being known for the biggest terrorist raid in Morocco in 2017

 

and the embassy approved a K1 (man) from the area where the 2 European women were beheaded (right after it happened)

 

some denials and approvals don't make sense to me

I understand what you are saying. Every single one of male beneficiaries since May 2019 have gone into AP following the interview and each and every single one of us have had to answer 10 questions which we know gets sent to Dept of State. How is it that he didnt? Because of this I am questioning the interviewer himself/herself and have taken the advice of another poster and contacted office of inspector general and dept of state.

did you read my original post? Have you counted the red flags? Have another look over. this particular mena country throws you in AP if you so much misspell a word.

How can you know every single person that is applying for a k1?
