After cr1 interview Wife given blue 221g refusal asking for more evidence and documentation

[Tonydnc 1]

Has anyone had success with the 221g refusal? She was given blue form asking for additional information such as a family tree, proof of purchase for flights, ex spouse info etc. We made another interview to submit and was hoping for some feedback and success stories. We are hoping she would get approved once we submit. Has anyone had their cr1 visa approved after submittinv required docs to the embassy immediately? Thank you so much.

Viet Nam?  I believe I have seen that HCMC request family tree info in the past.  If @aaron2020 is around, he'll know for sure.

While first cousin marriages are common in some cultures, they are illegal and against cultural norms in Vietnam.

The US Consulate in HCMC have had cases of marriages between closely related family members to facilitate illegal immigration to the US.  There is a specific PDF about family relationships that needs to be filled out when the US Consulate suspects that husband and wife may be family members.  https://d2v9ipibika81v.cloudfront.net/uploads/sites/40/FAMILY-TREE.pdf

 

The US Consulate will take its time to review all additional information when they suspect fraud.  It's unlikely that they will approve a visa immediately.

Thank you for the reply. My wife and I have family trees spanning 3 generations. Very different parts of the country. Most of my family has migrated to the US many decades ago. Just hoping the new evidence to prove our relationship will do the job. I think we have more than they will care to read. But fingers crossed. Thx again
