You need to ask yourself what stood out at your interview? What questions you were asked? Were any questions repeated? 

It's been a bit since that day but sit down and try to go over the interview. 

Regardless you are going to under the microscope even more this time.

 i would plan a trip for the 2 of u to marry /  it is painstaking long to go thru the process in Algeria but if both of u can meet in Tunisia,  it is about a 3 day process to marry and accepted by USA and immigration / although maybe not accepted in Algeria

It is my understanding that Tunisia has changed their requirements for marriage and they more resemble the requirements for Algeria and Morocco.

This can be construed as a red flag.  If the relationship is genuine, and the two of you plan to marry and have children, then where you live should be secondary to actually being together.  If the relationship is only if you move to the US because she can't be bothered in her pursuit of her career, then how genuine is the relationship?  Is this just a way for you to get to the US?  

 

You do not have to answer - this is what the CO would wonder about and possibly ask.

i thought to ask this 

if i was a CO i would ask some hard questions "would u marry this person if she wanted to live in algeria?"  for example

and to the OP

your interests seem to be in the visa /  u r going to have to prove you care about  this person and under muslim law,  u will be the breadwinner and take care of her

i see its a little harder than it use to be (after checking requirements )  but Morocco and Algeria are more intense

Well Jeanne I could play it and continue my toxic relationship with my ex and re apply again with her if i was that impatient to go to the US , what stopped me to do so ? Living with a toxic person won't change your life not in the US nor in heaven , and if i wanted to go to the USA there is 1000 ways to do so like by a student visa or H1B visa or even go wild with a Coyote from El Paso or new Mexico and there is plenty of videos of people who do that with success on YouTube like everyone knows about that,

and for your question of her leaving the USA for me i won't be a selfish guy and force her to quit a successful career with over 70k usd a year to join me in a 3rd world country to start all over again with a miserable salary in case she can find a job, whithout forgetting that she has a 7 yo son in school 

2nd question , to whom i should send the finciaial evidence that proves that we have shared business and taxes to the US embassy or the USCIS ? 

Thanks

you don't send the fiancial proof till the case is at NVC stage

and hopefully by that time the USC has done the work to show she is committed fully 

like i said "this part of the process-marriage (2022 right?),  filling the petition. adding u for her 2022 tax returns in spring to 2023,  getting your ITIN, adding u to any accounts she can,  and getting a POA from u 

All that evidence submitted at NVC stage counts

u can take extra to interview but do not be surprised if CO does not look at any of it 

the important thing to know is they review the packet sent from NVC (2nd stage of the process) before u go to interview/   CO is well aware of what he/she needs to ask,  the time spent together,  length of time u have known  each other and if family approves / its all in the photos and documents for proof

Honestly I wouldn’t get any hope too high… you have been denied already, a second time won’t have a higher chance of success. 
 

1) you got denied and you broke up (they will question: since he didn’t get an visa he broke up, you can say whatever you want to them but that’s what they will think). Because if it was true love you could have stayed with the same person, marry her, build your case with more evidence and then apply for CR1 instead of K1. 

 

2) You went back on line and found another American girl (why not British? Why not Italian? Why not Algerian, from your own country?). This is what they will think: this guy is desperate to get a US immigration benefits and he is trying to find any American girl possible.

 

just giving you a honest feedback. Be ready, it won’t be a piece of cake with immigration. They have seen all the games and tricks.

You are right in every point in every comment but thousands of people are divorcing everyday and thousands of people are withdrawing their spousal visas applications every year too so why a CO would judge me on that ? It became a toxic relationship so i stepped out 

Amd yes she is an American i love American girls is that a problem? I don't want an Italian no English so what, and seriously what american benefits are they talking about the American healthcare system is on of the worst systems in the galaxy 

Anyways thatnks a lot for your reply you made good points there and this will be my answers to the CO

No one can force you to meet girls of other countries or of your own country. You don’t get the point: immigration officer will simply question things, and will decide based on the overall picture. Every little piece makes the overall picture. Also one suggestion: don’t try  too hard to explain that US is a (removed) country (as you said because of health care bla bla bla), that won’t help your case….  So don’t get to that point because you will not look good….

I agree with everyone, your best route is CR1. However, with all the red flags already mentioned and questions scrutinized that most probably will arise, your strong defense is how you will show your relationship is bonafide. There a lot of marriages that started and met online and ended up successful, happily married, I for one. If this is what you are aspiring, then it will be easier for you and your future spouse to be natural and got nothing to hide in your application. The CO will throw all the questions in there, but if you are honest and forthright about everything your true aura will show. Honesty is the best policy. I guess what you should concentrate more is how to love, support and care for your future wife and future children,. The immigration only comes next. 

 

On the other hand, if you are really in love and your future wife is willing to move to your country for at least a year before filing a petition, you are most likely can apply for IR1 instead of CR1. With CR1,  you will have to file removal of conditions after 2 years and you will go through the same needle hole process before you get your permanent visa (IR1).
