As a fellow VJer, I offer you my deep sympathies. I hope it get sorted out. In this present political climate,things go on that one cannot understand. A couple of years ago, when I flew in to Detroit from frankfurt, a gentleman in Arab garb was with his family. Obviously, he must have all valid travel documents. But once we touched down at Ddetroit, the plane stopped on the tarmac short of the terminal. Then immigration and uniformed personnel boarded the plane headed straight for the guy and led him off the plane. I overheard the stewardess say that she had had this experience in previous flights.
Again, I wish the best to both of you.

FURTHERMORE, I AM A DISABLE VET AND A FEDERAL EMPLOYEE...FRAUD IS SOMETHING I WOULD NEVER DO TO JEOPORDIZE MY CAREER OR BE DISLOYALED TO MY COUNTRY.


goldenheart,

I would never have considered you of acting fraudulently. I was worried FOR you ( based on the earlier info) that perhaps your fiance had originally entered the relationship for non -genuine reasons, and somewhere changed his mind, as the circumstances seemed kind of self-sabotaging. Had this been the case, I was angry FOR you!
Your last post made things clearer. Again I hope you can get help and sort out this devastating mess.

Well perhaps those attempting to analyze the situation should look carefully at the timeline? As the USCIS and DOS is paid to do?
(If you disagree with me on the 'appearance' of the whole thing, then fine, but something(s) just don't make any sense here).


July 31, 2004- USCIS received my petition
April 12, 2005 - Petition and Waiver to meeting face to face are denied
(This should have never happened, much less applied for IMO).

THE NEW JOURNEY HAS BEGUN
April 19-26, 2005- Visit in Germany (first time ever)
..... (snip).....
Aug 29, 2005- DS230 and another form was returned to my fiance for completion
Sep 1, 2005- My fiance returned everything

October 28,2005 -Administrative Review
(So what was the reason for Administrative Review? Any info in it?)


November 7-15, 2005- Vacation in Germany
December 21, 2005- Contact my Senator again.
JAN 2006- Decided to send an email to the Consulate and received a reply that our application is still pending.
FEB 27, 2006- I wrote another letter to the Senator again
MAR, 2006- I called the Consulate and received information that my fiance had a scheduled interview for Feb 20, 2006 and failed to show-up
Your kidding me right? Failed to show up?

MARCH 18-30 - MY THIRD VISIT TO GERMANY
You're certainly paying YOUR dues in this effort...

MARCH 20, 2006- Interview
MARCH 29, 2006- we turned in everything for them to process the visa, they promise it will take 10 days
VISA IN HAND!!!!!!!!!

Then shonjaved chimes in:
let me say this Atlanta is the worst POE for Muslim immigrants.

Ok.... So this fellow is a muslim. (Really? I can't see where it was previously indicated anywhere).
He refused to sign a biographical information form at the poe, and was subsequently denied entry.... needed a translator???

Hunh?

I would have to say on it's face, it's obvious that it's not immigration law compliance that's the issue, but whether the person intends to comply with immigration law, or comply with the laws of the usa.

First by applying for the no meet face to face thing... Good Gawd, that alone takes an act of congress to pull off - you obviously solved the problem by travelling to meet him instead - SEVEN DAYS after the denial? It's not like it takes a rocket scientist to figure out that the waiver was bogus in the first place since you went to meet him so quickly thereafter.

Second was that he allegedly didn't show up for a scheduled interview in his home country. After you had petitioned him... (The only real reason I could imagine someone missing this interview is a death in the family or the death of the beneficiary! - but at least they would reschedule the thing!)

Third he refused to sign a biographic information form at the port of entry. And he needed an interpreter.
Who did what wrong here?

Hell I'm no big fan of immigration legislation, but this pattern of behaviour is literally spitting in the face of the folks that are employed to enforce it.

All I can see are red flags.

Why did this behaviour take place to begin with? Why on earth did you attempt to petition to avoid meeting face to face?

Go ahead burn me to the ground for my comments, but something just stinks here.

I'm curious to know what the adminstrative review was about? It doesn't seem to be something that appears normal that I've heard of before when reading about different cases.

So, is it some kind of 'standard practice' in Atlanta to give Muslim K visa holders a hard time, and to make them sign something they won't let them see? What is going on with that? Do they have the legal right to make them sign something, sight unseen, or threaten them with deportation? Something stinks to high heaven here.

I always claimed that airport was the entrance to hell - turns out I was right!

I don’t think there’s ever been a successful lawsuit against the immigration services...

I recall reading about some guy, last name Patel, who successfully sued and forced the US consulate in Mumbai to make a decision on a case after they had sat on it for some number of years.

Yes. this case was actully he waited 12 years someting long to get his approved visa issued.
there is some weird long azz term for this type of law suit.. starts with writ of M
somethign ..

Yeah, that idiot of a CBP officer in ATL that Nani and I dealt with when we came back from Germany last year. He wanted to know why we, as a married couple, don't share the same last name. I just told him that he better mind his business and that the answer to that particular question certainly doesn't fall into that category. He didn't seem too happy with that response but I think he also realized that I wasn't in any mood to be fooled around with that afternoon.

"Mandamus" be the word you're looking for?
