Tunis consulate and k1 visa ?

[Boiler 45,501]

This Tunisia?

 

Nearly 200 Tunisian migrants have arrived on the Italian island of
Lampedusa in the past three days as weather conditions improved.

Two boats carrying about 130 irregular migrants arrived early on
Monday morning. One boat with about 40 migrants had left from the
Tunisian island of Djerba, and the second boat carrying
approximately 90 migrants had departed from Zarzis.

Their arrival follows that of about another 53 irregular
migrants on Sunday 20 February on two boats which were intercepted
by Italian authorities.

The first boat, which arrived on Sunday morning carrying 13
migrants, had left from Djerba while the second with about 40
migrants departing from Sfax, arrived on Sunday evening.

Rough seas and storms had prevented boats from leaving Tunisia
last Friday but improved weather conditions and a calmer sea saw
the first arrival of the weekend when a boat carrying 13 Tunisians
arrived on the morning of 19th February. The migrants told IOM
staff on Lampedusa they had left from Djerba.

The migrants, all young male adults say they left Tunisia for
Europe for differing reasons. Although some left in the search for
work or protection, others say they wanted to join family already
in Europe, including one man who showed IOM staff a picture of his
young daughter with whom he wants to be reunited.

Very, very vague source for that refusal rate. I think those numbers are unreliable.   Bottom line is that there is a history of VJ shows that more time together is better than less time together.

26% for visitor visa is still not high refusal rate,

okay but Nigeria has 220 million people and the Philippine has a 120 million, Tunisia has only 11 million, and are more culturally related to Europe where most people would marry and go, not the USA

your analogy is mistaken 

this is what I'm talking about, with all due respect you guys don't seem to know exactly what you're talking about on a professional level,

instead of explaining the points I asked about, you're telling me about numbers from different countries and different circumstances

 

 

 

Countries with Similar Populations: 
January 
2024

Belgium K1: 4 

Belgium Spousal: 5

Dominican Republic K1: 228

D.R Spousal 459

Jordan K1: 33

Jordan Spousal:182 

 

Size of population and number of interviews held doesn’t tell us anything about “refusal rate”… 

Netherlands has a much smaller population. 

K1 visa: 13 

Spousal Visa:26 

 

Tunisia K1: 11

Tunisia: 129

 

How can you tell which consulate is more successful? Can we say Belgium is more strict because less visas were issued? 
 

@curious_creek225 you clearly think you don’t have any issues even though  lawyers, people on other forums, and members on VJ  are telling you one visit will probably be a problem. 
 

I hope you are correct. And wish you all the luck.
