Case sent back for review, help! (split)

[REM4ALWAYS 18]

I'm surprised. Are you sure that these were real immigration officers? I didn't know they could do such thing on foreign grounds. Even here the government needs a warrant to check your phone, so surely they do not have any rights to do that in Ghana. Perhaps, if they had been that vigilant in other countries with the visa process as they are in Ghana, then we wouldn't have a terrorist attack a few weeks ago. as

Oh yes they are officers from the Accra embassy I knew it was them when I saw their car plate and also they had my file in their car which the v.o also had during my two interview and yes they went to far going into my phone but I gave her the phone just to let her know I have nothing to hide and the most annoying part is she told me I can't see your wife face she is wearing glasses,damn this government officials abroad have unlimited power especially in afrika but we looking forward for the best and in God we trust no matter how hard they try to break us

They can ask, they have no power to insist.

[Jawaree 717]

Yhey are uthotized to do field investigations if one is asking to come live here,

they have done field investigations here in the US & other countries, its rare

outside the US they do not unless they re thinking they see clear fraud to

be thoroughly investigated

[zabrinma 5]

You contradicting your statement first yo say they do field investigation in the us and other countries then you say it's rare they do field investigation outside the us,so if my wife is older than me and she has kids that's fraud right. Let me tell you in Africa 90 percent of application are treated so read our post specially Ghana and you will see how applicants are treated

They do do field investigations, I doubt overall it is that common. Within certain scenarios it might be common.

My wife is older than me and had kids and mine was not fraud so not sure where you are going with this.

You,getting my statement wrong what am trying to say is my wife is older than me an have kids so am asking is that fraud because she older than me and has kids, well am here seeking advice and help not to argue over red flags in my relationship cause I know they are and I love her for who she is that's why I decided to settle with her and it's all called red flags because of visa process cause I don't think there are no couples in America being married with huge age difference and have kids.thank you

Our age difference is not huge. Obviously I can not answer your particular situation as I do not know it. I was just responding to the basic facts.

Also I do not know what is common practice in Ghana, never been there, different societies different norms.

Thanx bro all I need now is advices and courage to fight this struggle but thanx for your comment dough appreciate it.

Hi all VJ members happy new year to all, well a week a go I had a call from the embassy to come, on my arrival for about an hour the vo called me and told me she is sending the case back, because she believes our marriage is for immigration benefitjust and handed me the letter. So I see finally she just called me to confirm what they had told the Congress man. Now my status has changed from administrative process to Expiring Soon. As on the NVC website memo it states that after a year of no contact from us the case file will be cancelled and unless we can prove it was beyond our control. Please my ask is for a year now my file has been with the consulate until just last week I was notify of it going back,we never had control over the process, please anybody with ideas on what we can and cannot do now whiles we wait for the case to get back to uscis.Thank You

Sorry for all you are doing. This may help shed light on what is going to happen.

This is the scenario for you. Your case after 1 year of AP has been refused and is now making the journey back to USCIS where the embassy is asking USCIS to revoke (Notice of Intent to Revoke- NOIR). It will take about 6 months to get to USCIS and probably 8 months to a year for USCIS to notify you of their decision.

The expiry notice on NVC is the standard wording after a 1 year of no contact your petition is still active and not expiring. So don't worry about it. Right now it's all a waiting game nothing you can do, nor a congressman can do but wait now for USCIS. I would guess summer time you will hear from USCIS than the next steps.

As I said you will either get a Notice to Revoke where USCIS will either back what the embassy say and deny you a Visa (very very rare unless the embassy sent evidence to back their decision) or USCIS will send you the list of denial points where you must address each issue with evidence and send back to USCIS and they will render a decision to Deny or Re-affirm.

If Re-affirmed your case goes back to the embassy where 99% of cases get approved with almost nothing asked or asked for.

So now you wait.

Thanx bro for your quick response and advice but please if I may ask what kind of evidence does the consulate send at times,I ask this because the embassy wrote to the Congress man that they have factual extensive evidence after a year of traumatizing my wife and i and coming to my home to talk to me. Thanx Edited January 3, 2016 by zabrinma

[Penguin_ie 5,984]

That very much depends on your individual case. It could be your age difference, it could be they went to talk to your neighbours, co workers and friends, it could be official documents they reviewed....

[zabrinma 5]

Thanx Penguin that's helpful answers and yes they we're at home asking new neighbors about me whome I don't even know their houses and family as well but eventually I met with them and was being interrogated like a terrorist plus going through my phone but in all God is great and in him I trust. But if it's the age then I will say that's a big insult to my wife and I cause we both not minors to be told who to marry at what age, and am 100% sure uscis saw our age difference and her having kids before our petition was approved after uscis asking for evidence from us before they approved our petition.
