I get ya. I know many wives who get it in Nigeria. Which is funny to go to anther country and get a certificate of singlehood (bachelorette) like how would they know.

Good luck on your refiling.

Thank you

Received an email from the Embassy stating the denial was because the CO was not convinced of a bona fide relationship.  So is this because of a misrep or not having enough proof? I would have thought it would state the misrep not this.

A Misrep charge would allow a waiver, this does not.

I do have helpful advice.  Drop this and move on or plan to move to be with him. Your chances of successfully proving irreparable harm to yourself, the USC, if someone who will be viewed as “married if it helps me get a visa but not married if it helps me get a visa” cannot join you in the US are very low.

yeah i would be skeptical if this never came up during the whole beginning of the relationship, prior to making the relationship more serious + filing.

Misrep would only come into play after being determined otherwise eligible for the visa. He was not.

So until then it's considered not a bona fide relationship ?

Applying to sponsor someone for a K1 who is married could well fall into that description.

[geowrian 22,338]

Not a bona fide relationship falls into the “petition is invalid” criteria. This could be due to lack of showing a real relationship or it could be due to other conditions that make the fiancé/fiancée relationship invalid (like not being free to marry).

 

That said, I do find it a bit curious that they only mentioned lack of a bona fide relationship as similar cases I thought they used the free to marry language more explicitly. But don’t read too much into that either.

I thought they would say that as well. Just making sure its the same issue and not anything different.

Update: Received a email from USCIS saying that have our packet back and they will review it. Is this a standard email?  If not do we need to wait on doing the CR1?

Sounds normal, you can marry at any time. Obviously need to do that before filing a CR1.

Case sent back to the states and case was updated in January but still says refused. 

They said its still a chance the USCIS can re-approve and send it back to to the NVC and then the conaulate.

Now there is a ban so im not sure how things are now since we wanted to just go ahead with the CR1.
