Urgent! Was was denied visa in Ghana today

[Volta-Region 26]

My wife was denied visa in Ghana today. They said they are sending the case to the U.S. how do I stop them and keep my case in Ghana? I need urgent advice. The officer said we did not provide enough evidence. We have two U.S citizens together. Chat records. We own land together. So many more evidence. I need urgent advice.

Contact your U.S. Congressman's office, complete the disclosure paperwork, and ask for them to call the embassy to keep the paperwork there.

All the evidence that you speak of was that submitted with the petition upfront or brought to the interview? Ghana is not an easy embassy how you met. How long you been together, how often you have been back home to visit has much to say about the bonafides of your relationship.

You cannot keep the file in Ghana. You were likely issued a 221g either stating a denial or asking for evidence. If the file is sent back to the USA then you wait until the USCIS looks at it again and sends it back.

or USCIS may issue a Notice of Intent to Revoke (NOIR)

Petition will be returned and petitioner will receive a NOID/NOIR letter and then you have a second chance to submit more evidence.

If USCIS finds that your new evidence is sufficient they will send it again to the consulate where the CO will either approve the visa or refuse it

again. Most likely they will approve it at that time. Post again when you receive the NOID/NOIR letter. Sometimes the petitioner does not get a letter

and USCIS sends the petition to the consulate without it with recommendation to approve. Good luck.

Having land and two us citzens doesn't suffice a bonafide proof of relationship. Show proof of regular money transfers, old and new pictures you guys took together, and if you make regular trips home you can attached border passings or airtickets. Also, for African Countries were traditional wedding is recognised, show pictures of traditional wedding activities that went on even in your absence, but in the presence of your family. These evidences will never be disputed by any CO

Thank you. How long does it take to get the NOID letter? And I've also heard that they send it to uscis so it can expire, how true is this?

Of course I sent all those things and more. Those are basic evidence that every marriage people send. Your statement really makes no sense. What else makes a marriage more real other than having children? Having children with the one to whom you are married pretty much means you are serious. I sent more than 300 pics and 1,000 pages of Facebook, tango, and whatssapp chats. Plus so many more evidence. In fact, I sent too many stuff.

OK, If you send all that them it was ok. What about traditional wedding pics??

[MrsBonsu 138]

What exactly did the co say to her, and did she receive a paper stating it was being sent back?

For some reason they don't seem to care about children. A woman on my bowling team were denied and they had 3 children at the time they were denied.

[babyface.007 1]

Maybe they never denied her visa, but requesting some details. If you could share with us what the CO told her in its entirety, then most people in vj forum might figure out what to say. Now, all what we re saying might be basically speculative.

No, a CR/IR will not expire. It is K1's that expire. You should get your NOID letter in a few months, 2-4 or so.

Thank you. You have been very helpful. I'll tell you what happened. My wife took 3 binders full of traditional marriage pics, white wedding pics, pics of us kissing and generally having fun, pics of our families together pics of me playing with our children. In fact, the evidence was too them much. The interviewer was upset that I they did not make me do a DNA test before they approved my children citizenship. My wife said she was visibly upset and was making comments like...I don't know why they didn't make him do DNA, they should have made him do DNA. From there on she did not care about any evidence in front of her. She was totally fixed on the DNA. She then denied my wife and my wife told her "what more do you want, we have given you everything you asked and more." The lady then made a comment like maybe I should do a DNA test. This woman should not be able to get away with this bitterness. So I will do the DNA and send it to them when they request more evidence. But I am praying that someone with sense will review our case and overturn her decision.
