Nightmare of an Interview @ Mumbai 4/19

[SunDancer 0]

Harsh had his interview in Mumbai and needless to say it did not go well at all, Harsh said there was 2 male officers one a US officer and also an Indian officer and they grilled him for several hours about the age difference and they kept asking him how much he paid me to file the K-1 Visa just so he can come to the US!!! Harsh said they even showed him my face book account and said see she has lots of male friends and she could be your mother!! He said they were both yelling at him one in English and the other in Gujarati and kept insisting that he paid me to file for a K-1 Visa. Oh and here is the kicker they told him I was married before.I have never been married and Harsh told them that but they said she has a daughter, Harsh said yes I know but she has never been married before. They then said she has a security number so we know everything about her and she was married before!!! I called our Immigration attorney and also I spoke with my Senator, my senator assigned me one of her immigration aides and I spoke with him today and he already emailed the consulate. Harsh is going to fax me copies of all the papers they gave him he said they gave him a 221g and told him someone would contact him, then they also told him that they know he paid me and he probably will be banned from the US. I know for a fact that Harsh has never given me any money I have covered the cost of the entire K-1 process including his medical fees.It has been a very emotional day for both of us with lots of crying, but now more than anything I am mad as hell that they treated Harsh like he was a criminal when we have done nothing wrong but love each other and only want to be together. I hope those 2 officers have their big boy panties on because they are in for a fight. We will not take this lying down.

Thank you. I am 15 years older than Harsh. He is 24 and I am 38.

Im really sorry for what happened.

They shouldnt be allowed to treat anyone like that!!

I understand they need to be careful on who they let in but unless they have proof to support their "theory" otherwise they should just be doing their job, i.e. interviewing and accessing if someone ticks all the points to be granted a visa.

A big good luck for everything!

Oh no how horrible for you both? How much of an age difference is there if you don;t mind my asking? And I don't understand the double standard. Why is it OK for a man to marry a woman many years her junior and not a woman? In this day and age in the US it's very acceptable for a woman to marry someone younger. My husband is younger than me, as well and hasn't has his interview yet. I pray for you and your fiance'. Stay strong, you will overcome this!!!

ONLY 15yrs....omg...something is not right? my friend she younger than her husband more than half of his age..i think 30-35yrs apart they never had that problem. i really wish that things will better later..i really do :thumbs:

This is horrible! I'm so sorry . A good friend of mine also went through Mumbai and her fiance was grilled in a similar way and also told false misleading information in an attempt to intimidate him.

It just burns me up that they are allowed to pull false information out of thin air and throw it back in the beneficiary's face.

It really is unfortunate that they do not allow USC petitioners inside the Mumbai consulate for the interview.

Sorry that this happened to you Guys.

I have no idea how they get my face book account but I have nothing to hide there they can call me and I will give them my password, if they want. I only use face book to play games mostly.

It's not unheard of during visa interviews. I know of a case personally where the CO asked the beneficiary to log into his facebook account in front of him. This was also through the Mumbai consulate.

Thank you . I am trying to stay positive, but poor Harsh has been put through the wringer and i am worried about him. I have been in contact with my state senator and our attorney all day so hopefully we can get turned around the right way.
