What to do after being refused

[Oluaj 2]

I went for my interview on the 8thof December 2020,after showing all my documents the interviewer gave me a form ticking 2 more documents I need to send through dhl and also returned my passport. But the next day before I could go send the documents  I got an email attached a refusal letter based on Material misrepresentation.  Do I still go ahead and submit the documents.i am eligible for a waiver

Do you know what the Material Misrepresentation is?  Does the letter cite a specific 212 paragraph for the refusal?

No I don't.  It was just written in the letter Material Misrepresentation. "Please be informed that you have been found ineligible(6C1) for material misrepresentation. Find attached the refusal letter.

Note: if you attach an image of the refusal letter, make sure you black out any personal information.

 

212(a)(6)(C)(i) is pretty serious as they are saying you willfully misrepresented yourself in order to gain an immigration benefit.  What visa were you applying for?  Do you have any idea what the misrepresentation might be?  Common issues would be like not disclosing a relative in the US, claiming to be married on a visitor visa application when not, etc.

Which embassy did you have your interview?

 

Have you ever applied for a US tourist visa before starting on your spouse visa process?

Have you ever applied for a US visa before?  I would go back through all the information you submitted, and any past visa applications if you have applied in the past.  The biggest item we see from time to time is when someone previously applied for a B2 visitor visa, and then subsequently filed for a fiance or spousal visa and items on the DS160 and/or DS260 do not match.

Did you use an agent for your past tourist visa application?  What marital status did you declare in your past application?

 

[designguy 1,179]

Did you even apply for a B2 and claim you had a spouse on it, which you never had?

I was single in my first application which was a visiting visa  and engaged when I filled the second and that was even a student visa. Been trying to see where I could have gone wrong but I just can't find any
