"I guess some of you only want things the way you want them and don't care about honesty and upsetting future people going through the immigration process which is a shame. I have been through this process and it is hell. And it is made worse by people like you who spread false information making others feel like your cases are as pure as any case and there is no reason to get denied. How is that going to make others coming behind you think; that Casa is going to deny them too"

Your words.

All I am saying is to play nice. There is a kinder gentler way of expressing yourself.

Such as Leila, why don't you tell us what was said in the interview? Do you have any of the red flags? Then respond by saying, "now if I was a CO, this might be what I am thinking. Your edge is a little rougher than most people can handle.

BTW, I have already been giving her support and trying to help her in such a manner. Not only that, it was the advice of all of us that have had denied petitons that helped MaryandAtif get theirs approved. We aren't anxious to get anyone else in our club, it is a nightmare that none of us deserve. These women are good decent women that wouldn't wish this on anyone. I have had the pleasure of chatting with them several times and I truly wish the best for them all.

Its okay if you don't respond anymore, I honestly don't expect you too. I just want people to see all points of views, and decide for themselves, thats all.

Ohiobuck,

Of course I see the reasoning behind some of what you are saying, but you are leading people wrong yourself. The picture isn't always black and white. It seems you are suggesting that all of us that had our petitions sent back are lying to everyone on VJ. How do you know that? You don't know me, or Chiquita, Fatima, or Kiya, as well as a list of others. Maybe I read this wrong because I am feeling somewhat defensive at this point, but how do you know we are all lying?

I am not here to scare people, nor am I learning much from someone else because our case is much further in the process than most. I have been honest on the fact that I have red flags, but you seem to miss some vital points here. How can it be a fair interview if they refuse to look at any evidence?

You say we are here to scare people? In what way? Informing them on what are the possible red flags, which I have posted on other strings. These are important to know so you can address them if given the opportunity.

We have different personalities on this board, some want to know all of the situations so they can prepare, and some want to smell only the roses. I came to this board to learn facts, and yes I have had a variety of advice. One person told me that we were going to have a rough interview because of the age difference, and I appreciated hearing that. It didn't help us, but it somewhat prepared us.

I don't want to see anyone go through what I have been going through, so I have tried so hard to be informative and supportive of all. Thats all we really want from anyone here isn't it?

You talk about treating Mr McKeever with kindness? Good point! I agree totally. You catch more bees with honey afterall. But seriously, your tone is pretty harsh in itself. Lighten up on us here...we are going through a pretty bad time, and a simple "wish you the best" would do nicely.

I am not even going to read these responses anymore, I never said anyone else lied. Don't put words in my messages, that only proves to me you don't like hearing the truth. We as a group should be helping Leila find ways to get her denial reversed not just support at this point since time is so short for her right now. But she also needs to be honest for us to help her and to use her information to help future members not yet at this stage of the process. Are you to much in a hurry to make her a new member of the denied club so you don't feel alone to try to get it reversed so she a member of the new visa holders????????? If we have to be blunt to get her to see what needs to be done and expected for us to help her then you are the one seeing how this group should work.

I suggest you read all of the posts before you jump in with your insults. I stand behind everything I said, because it was made because someone else asked her what her red flags were and she said, she had no red flags. This is false information and very missleading. It cannot help anyone to help her and it can only do bad to other cases by misleading them.

has anyone gotton past the returned petition phase of their case? was there any reversals? was there anyone that once the petition got back was the USC interviewed? was there anyone that has gotton that far yet?

As far as I know Chiquita has gone the furthest on this process. Her petition was re-affirmed. Of course she was going the K-3, and now the CR1 is approved. I was happy to see that she was able to overcome the denial, and will be relieved to see her husband get a well deserved visa.

I believe that certain ones are set aside for a more stringent interview, and it should. Age difference is a big one. I think they prepare tougher in depth questions for these earmarked petitions.

This is why it is so important to address your red flags in advance. My husband was prepared for all of the red flags, but he stumbled on one question. They asked him if he has relatives in the US. He said and ex brother in law and a sister. Oh big mistake!! Anyone out there have an ex of any kind in the US, they are not related anymore...lol.... So this is why I am pretty sure I know why ours was sent back, and this is why he didn't bother to look at the rest of our evidence. He has some idea that the ex was an american that was paid by his sister to come to the US, and now they are divorced. Oh man....this has turned into a mess for us. The ex is from a different sister that has never been in the US. The sister that is here is still married to the man that petitioned her. They tried to find her in the system, but couldn't find her. My husband gave the CO his sisters nick name of Khadija, not her given name of Khadouj. They asked him if his sister arranged our marriage...this is the question that makes me think that they suspect I was paid. This is one reason I am not too worried, if my suspicions on why ours was sent back, then it will be so easy to prove once they look at it again. The time apart is what is killing us...for one stupid innocent answer. I believe wholeheartedly that ours was earmarked for a deep investigation...and I believe it should have been. You see, the age difference gave us the tough interview, the confusion about his family is what set it over the edge for us. For any one that has had their petitions returned I have advised them to have their SO's write a list of questions and answers. I think these men (or women) don't understand exactly what happened, but we as US citizens can better disect the questions to see where the error was. Honestly, as my husband and I prepared for the interview this situation never came to mind.

I have a FOIA request out there, and the last I heard from my attorney they had requested more information from here. So hopefully soon I will have that in hand and can see for myself if my strong suspicions are correct, that they think I am being paid. I will keep everyone posted.

Now I have a question. I have heard it is important to address the red flags on the cover letter, which is a good point. One thing though, I used a cover letter for the I-130 and the I-129f. Those were both approved without a problem (except that they lost the I-129f). So when would you use a cover letter for the consulate? On the DS-230? In the instructions I read I never saw that on any of the instructions that I read. Did anyone on this forum do this, and if so, do you think it helped your case?

ohhhhhhhhhh good chi made it far in the process that is good. did chi say how she over came these red flags?

I had some big juicy red flags, I never thought to include it with the cover letters. when my husband sent in the DS 230 again < Mar 15th > we never addressed the red flags. those we addressed when they interview me.

Paula. <<< huggg>>

good points! I dont like sugar coating things either I like your style honest and raw- thats what we all would like to hear. at the same time.

Leila is hurting right now :(

do you have suggestions on what she should do as of now? I think we all agree its critical to get ther case reverse now! what she be doing?

I've given very sound advice to Leila in earlier messages you can read earlier in this posting. Among the last I encouraged her to spend this last weekend sending really good e-mails to the Consulate, her Senators and her Congressman to get them all working to get her denial reversed. I even offered her a form letter that she could use to fax her Congressman and Senators permission for them to represent her, if she still hasn't gotten that to them. She could fax it and they could start right away helping her, since there is no time for delays. Since I didn't hear from her I hope she has already passed this stage.

For anyone that hasn't gotten to the interview stage, please contact your Congressman and Senators now and sign these release forms so if it goes bad they can help right away. I pray it all goes good, but we all need to be prepared and you can't afford to waste time when it is most important at that time. If you want just message me and I will send you a form and I will even be happy to help you find out who is your representatives are, so you know how to contact them. Plus it might not even hurt you to show the Consulate you have these people supporting you before the interview and that you are a serious woman in need of her man. Evidence is evidence even maybe the e-mails we send to the Consulate before our interviews and after to clarify and fix a denial if we are a couple with such bad news. I thought I once read someone say they saw the copies of their e-mails in their file during the interview. If they saw it, then the CO saw it and if I was a CO I would take this is as a serious couple. And if these e-mails are well wrote if I was the CO, I might be willing to take this as a reason to be positive and likely to approve the visa vs. another couple. Please think like the CO so you can get the Visa, these steps can't hurt if you send a well written e-mail to the Consulate by way of you or through your Congressmand and Senators assistance. :D .

Paula

has anyone gotton past the returned petition phase of their case? was there any reversals? was there anyone that once the petition got back was the USC interviewed? was there anyone that has gotton that far yet?

About a month ago Mary K. got her denial reversed and they got the K3 before it was sent back to the states and she had to wait all the long months like others have to do. She just picked him up like a week ago in the Atlanta airport and I want to help others copy Mary K. and get their denials reversed just like she did so they have their husband/fiancee also. I think if I remembered right Mary K's husbands interview was Feb 27th and he arrived around March 28th into Atlanta after the original denial was reversed.

Please be positive and help others do the same as Mary K.

Mary K. I hope you see this message and write back to let everyone know what you did to get it reversed.

Did you have your Congressman and Senators all set up with permission to help you before the interview?

Did you e-mail or call or what and how soon after the interview with the denial and what exactly did you do and say? Please post and I will try and save the link so I can copied to others in the future to help them.

Thanks,

Paula

oh very good advise. I rember something ellis-island said. when you get intent to deny.

you must hurry and get the reversal before the petition comes to the states. by then its kind of too late sort of speak. good advise certainly.

She wrote a letter addressing the NOIR and sent all of the information that they never reviewed at the interview. I wish I could remember all of the details, but she overcame it! I am so happy for her! Now she is waiting for the interview, which seems to be slow. The great thing is that now he will get the IR1 instead of the CR1. They will be through until the green card! :dance:

I am so happy for her, she has waited so long. It also gives those of us hope!

You can go on the following government site and read more about the sec 212:

http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/ineligib...ities_1364.html

I guess some of you only want things the way you want them and don't care about honesty and upsetting future people going through the immigration process which is a shame. I have been through this process and it is hell. And it is made worse by people like you who spread false information making others feel like your cases are as pure as any case and there is no reason to get denied. How is that going to make others coming behind you think; that Casa is going to deny them too. Plus Leila needs to look at her own case honestly so she can figure out the proper way to get this reversed fast before it is sent back. I was also afraid she was lying to herself and I was afraid she had no chance of getting the decision reversed if she didn't handle it correctly and carefully. Casa isn't perfect and I feel bad for those getting denied and for any of you saying differently you are wrong. But if this group is only for those who want to share lies and get support based on lies and do not care to help each other and Leila to get the visas then this is a fake group not really helping when it matter. This group should be for sharing information honestly so all of us can fight this battle together and to support each other based on this honest team work. If you want to play games and act childish then you need to look at the mirror. I simply called someone on the truth they said themselves, I didn't share personal information that they intended not to be common knowledge or they should've kept their mouth shut not only in this forum but in past messages to public groups. I saw many people getting upset and I couldn't stand by and let this false missleading continue.

Plus some of you need to do some more homework and start by reading the link above. You seem to love acting like you are exports and can judge others, but you do not know all the facts, so if you are going to throw stones know what you are talking about. I never claimed to be an export and I am careful to share only things I know are true to help others. I think you know everything I said was the truth and you know why I did it. I did it to tell other members the truth so they can have some hope how these cases might be working so they can go into their interviews and get the visa. Sharing false information only creates upset people and will not help prevent future denied visas.

Also as a side note and I was hating going here but I wanted to share with you so others can think of another way to deal with this type of questions if an illegal question is asked in their future upcoming interviews. The question by the CO about the woman being Jewish and the how can the guy marry her is terrible and illigal but I do not claim to know that for a fact, I am just guessing. We should be careful not to attack the consulate if our visa is denied until after you get your visa or are in a safe place with your case so you can then attack and try to get justice. But I warn you to realize some facts of life. These CO's are using anything against you fiancees/spouses at the interview to stir them up and to get them to mess up and they must not care if they are illegal questions. The questions they used to do this are wrong, but others waiting for their interview should look at their cases and think of nasty questions the CO might ask and practice giving answers that prove they are a true relationship and control their anger (which does not prove relationship like you might think). If you look at these questions the CO asks if you answer them in ways that satisfies the CO, they will probably drop that train of thought and ask a totally unrelated question. If you fall in the trap the CO wants, they will attack you with more of these questions to let you fall in their trap. None of us know what got these visas denied but all of us can look back at these examples to figure out how it could've been handled so much better and those coming in the future can go into these interviews prepared so they don't let the CO trick them into wrong answers or to get them upset so they come out getting the Visa. Also at the same time realize how you can get the Consulate to reverse your case if you go in attacking a CO for illegal questions and blah blah, do you think anyone in that Consulate will want to help you. NO These people are working at the same Consulate, they are a team, they might not like the other members or approve of everything they do but when you attack without thinking first how you say something do you think they will help you. NO Think of Mr. McKeever (? unsure of spelling), he sure didn't want to help when it was handled like it was, and other times he's been so helpful to so many other members, guess they said the right things and didn't piss him off.

I am sure some of you do not like to hear the honest truth and will attack me, go ahead. But at least I care about everyone going through this process and I am not afraid to sugar coat the truth with what is public knowledge and potentially let someone worry over something or not have information that could help them succeed and get the visa and that includes Leila. Leila needs to do those things some of us advised as fast as possible and in the proper manner. Plus Leila needs to look at her case so she knows what problems she might need to get fixed at the Consulate and so it doesn't get sent back. The fact the Consulate doesn't tell you the problem means Leila has to figure it out and do what is needed to get it reversed. Plus the truth is depending on the speed she does it, and how she talks to these people can reverse the original decision and get their visa or fail to help their case and get it sent back to the US anyway. She has to make them want to help her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And to do that she has to have skills. From the message above the talk with Mr. Mckeever (sorry I misspelled it and can't go and look up in the messages), seems to have been a big failure because it sounds like it was handled all wrong. I say this because he sounded pissed and everyone else has described this guy as a nice guy, not good. Leila please do not take offense from this, just learn from it and call and e-mail again and this time handle it in a way that makes them want to help you. And others reading this and who might find themselves in the same situation as Leila is now. I hope you learn from it and practice the techniques successful people use to get things reversed and get what they want and in all of our cases that is the visa and that is what matters most. If I've hurt peoples feelings I am sorry, but I think there are many of you that know why I did what I did to help you and I hope you get your visa and don't care if you thank me or not.

Paula

Who is "P"? I tried to find the original psot bit cant seem to find it. ( guess I am dumb)

All I can say is wowowowowowo!!!!

The heck with red flags! That is all there are....ie flags for the CO to check our case more thoroughly!!! Not to readjudicate it!!!

Suggesting ppl are seeking sympathy and not telling the truth is so cruel!

Please give more details on 212 that you were referring to>>>

2) If I remember right you have a at least a 12+ year age difference. Anything over 10 years is a red flag based on Sec. 212 reasons a CO can use to deny.

I want to know where it is says that in Sec 212 that says a CO can deny a beneficiary based on age difference. If you only heard this but dont know it as fact or cant show us where it is, please dont post such nonsense. I am here for truth and help, not criticism or hearsay. Just the facts please.

Also someone mentioned some are not posting timelines. Well that would me. I dont have the time to figure it all out as I am quite busy working. If I knew how to do it I would do it.

I just wish everyone would lighten up and stop criticizing. Doesn't everyone understand how difficult it is when your whole life is thrown into chaos??? What wrong did we do? Fall in love??? OMG. Just because some made it through the immigration process doesnt mean we failed to do something and you were great at the process. Geeeeeezz louise. Cut us some slack for crying out loud!!!

Ok that was my vent, now back to business.

Where does it say in Sec 212 the CO can deny a visa due to age difference?????????????

Chi,

"P" is ohiobuck name is Paula. Leila dont know the true reason of her returned petition at this point.

age diffrences adn that was speculation. hurtful speculation non the less. I dont know if Leila got 212

I thought it was 221g. I dont know where the 212 came from. I wish all those going thougth this hell = to be finally be granted some mercy.

Thanks Shon...the 212 came from Paula. She put it in her post. All Leila knows at this point is the CO sent it for "further review". Most are returned for the validity of the relationship.

I was chatting with someone today and she brought up some very intersting points about returned petitions and Leila was the one who brought it to light.

The bottom line is if there are petitions that have "red flags", the consulate will just return them and let BCIS deal with them because the consulate has neither the time nor the staff to investigate these flags. They plain just dont care and they pass the buck so to speak. So I guess for all of those of us who have red flags, count on a possible return in your case. Take heart though, because if you have all your ducks in a row, you will overcome the flag and get your DF/DH here in time. That is key...TIME!

That is the good news for the day!!

I am honest!!!!!!!!!!! I dont care if there was red flags in my case. The doesnt give the consulate the right to violate the guidelines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just because you made it through doesnt mean you did it better!!!!!!!! Man you are one tough chick. I would hate to get on your bad side. I am here to help others, not condem them. I am here to let others know what I have gone through not act high and mighty as you do. Why are you here anyway? You have your visa, this is for those who were denied THROUGH NO FAULT NOF THEIR OWN!!!!!!!! DSure there were red flags, but let me tell ya, there is no law that says a CO must deny a visa for a red flag. It only means the CO needs to look a little closer at the case. Which they have decide they will not do any more. Instead they are returning those petitions to have BCIS do it.

DAM, this is pissing me off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For any one that has had their petitions returned I have advised them to have their SO's write a list of questions and answers. I think these men (or women) don't understand exactly what happened, but we as US citizens can better disect the questions to see where the error was. Honestly, as my husband and I prepared for the interview this situation never came to mind.

I have a FOIA request out there, and the last I heard from my attorney they had requested more information from here. So hopefully soon I will have that in hand and can see for myself if my strong suspicions are correct, that they think I am being paid. I will keep everyone posted.

Now I have a question. I have heard it is important to address the red flags on the cover letter, which is a good point. One thing though, I used a cover letter for the I-130 and the I-129f. Those were both approved without a problem (except that they lost the I-129f). So when would you use a cover letter for the consulate? On the DS-230? In the instructions I read I never saw that on any of the instructions that I read. Did anyone on this forum do this, and if so, do you think it helped your case?

ohhhhhhhhhh good chi made it far in the process that is good. did chi say how she over came these red flags?

I had some big juicy red flags, I never thought to include it with the cover letters. when my husband sent in the DS 230 again < Mar 15th > we never addressed the red flags. those we addressed when they interview me.

thats like a girl in our embassy < ISL pakistan > they kept her on AR/AP.

then she got the IR1 instead of the CR1. lord i dont wanna wait another 9 months in AR/AP hell.

Chi..

dont be upset.. ok.

You can go on the following government site and read more about the sec 212:

http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/ineligib...ities_1364.html

I have read that section over and over, no where did I see where it said what you said>>>

2) If I remember right you have a at least a 12+ year age difference. Anything over 10 years is a red flag based on Sec. 212 reasons a CO can use to deny.

Please show exactly where it is because I cannot find it.

Lets just be clear on one thing here. Most of the returns are "due to the validity of the relationship". If one has not yet received that information from your congressman or senator, you will.

As I posted earlier the consulate is not doing their job. Period. Thay complain they do not have enough time to take phone calls. They dont answer e mails. They are sending a message...they want more help. Mc Keever told Leila to tell her congressamn they need more help. This is a political issue and we are the pawns.

I had a conversation with another woman who was denied a visa also and she brought this to light from something she had read on line and when she read what McKeever said to Leila. It became so clear that the consulate is doing this in hopes of getting more help.

As we all know there are cut backs in every industry and occupation across our country. I am sure it is happening in the government ranks as well. But what Casa is doing is just plain wrong and thats my opinion and I'm sticking with it.

If anyone is interested how my case turns out, just e mail me and I will be more than happy to tell you. It will soon be over for us. I want to help as many other couples as I can who are lost in this black hole called immigration.

One quick addition - don't address issues in the cover letter, do it in a supplement. Put a note next to the question the answer to will raise the flag and say "see supplement". In the supplement you put the question number (this is all in the instructions on their website for submitting forms to them), and your explanation and be sure to sign and date it.

So lets say in a situation of meeting online, or the woman being much older than the man, how would you address this in your supplimental letter?

anyone one have ideas for me ?

Awww man Shon! You have been going through this about as long as I have. It is a little different from ours, but hard nonetheless. So now remind us, what is the status of your case? Last I read they have issued more security checks right?
