Interview today but no approval or disapproval - Please advise

[DM & JM 12]

My fiancée had her interview today but we didn’t any luck. She didn’t get approved or disapproved. She was asked only a couple of questions, how we met, when we met, etc. Both of us have been married before and she was asked if my ex-wife was US citizen and if she got her green card through me, which she did. My fiancée was completely honest and she told them the truth. These were all the questions she was asked. Then the interviewer told my fiancée that she forgot a form, I think it was the DS-156 form, which she was told earlier by their help line that she didn’t need it. They told her that she needed to send this form by mail and then she was going to be notified of a decision. They kept her passport and some other documentation. Now we are terrified that she will not get approved due to my previous marriage and that my ex-wife got her green card through me. I just would like to know if there is someone who has gone through the same situation and what the outcome was. Also, can they deny her visa based on my previous marriage and that my ex-wife got her green card through me? Please advise. We are really terrified that they wouldn’t approve her visa only because of my past marriage. Just in case someone is wondering, There was no fraud whatsoever in my past marriage, this is life and it just didn’t work out as many others.

Thank you all for your input.

Hello guys,

I'm not an expert in the k-1 visa process, but I have had my experiences with American consulates for four times now over 8 years(3 times for f1, now k1-approved!). From your story, it seems like your fiancee was handed a form 221g aka the blue form asking you to send the missing application. From my previous experiences and what i have seen from my friends, if they retained her passport and asked her to send the missing documentation, it's not a sure shot no. So there is still hope that you can make it! Again it depends on a number of factors. The point that your ex-wife got a green card through you previous might ring some bells for them, but its not a outright rejection if certain things about this relationship are strong- like have you guys known each other for at least two years and have you met each other in person at least 2-4 times during that period and then your correspondence. So as along as you guys have all these in order there is no immediate reason to fear. Good luck with you application!

The only problem I see is the form she didnt give them. The case file must be complete to issue the visa. The questions about your past were answered correctly. If a previouse marrige affected these cases as you think there are many people that would never get a visa. They just want to see if she knows & if she lies.

If they were going to deny the visa because of your past they wouldnt have kept the passport. Get the form in & they will issue the visa.

Thank you for your reply. We are just concerned because this officer was really rude and not professional with my fiancee that she didnt even ask for any documents or evidence of our relationship. She didnt even ask for the DHL receipt and this is a problem. This officer seemed not interested at all in what my fiancee was saying, totally rude.
