Visa DENIED!!! I need your help

[LuciansGirl 0]

My fiance just called me from Barbados. The denied his visa because the consulate officer said that he wasn't convinced that we have a bonafide relationship. He questioned why I wasn't with him at the interview. He told them I have to work.

I sent my fiance 1" thick worth of evidence. Phone call receipts, boarding passes, money transfer receipts, pictures, emails, cards, and all of my financial documents. I sent EVERYTHING that they could possibly want or need. The CO said he is not convinced and told my fiance that he is denying it and that I should speak to the USCIS here in the US.

Please help me.....what can I do at this point? I don't understand why they denied him because I sent a lot of evidence and we do have a bona fide relationship. The CO did not give my fiance anything back. What happens next? How can an individual decide our fate?

Please help me....I am so desperate. I do not know what to do next. I am beside myself and sitting here in shock and disbelief.

Sorry to hear that it must be really stressful for you right now I don´t know what you can do but perhaps you can try speaking to USCIS see what thy advice you. If nothing helps in the end, you could as well go and get married in his country and then apply for K3 or CR1. Good luck (F)

Your fiance should have received a form. What does it say?

[SonoranSongbird 3]

Oh poo. This got moved while I was trying to reply and now I do not have enough time to retype it. For now, all I will say is I am sooooooooo sorry that is happening to you. I was obviously hoping for a much different update.

The form.....and without knowing the particulars of how your relationship went, I can't make a response as to what I think is missing.

I would call everyone I could think of till I got some answers.

My fiance said the CO didn't give him any form. I'll call him and get the exact details.

Whatever you do try to keep your petition in Barbados! As mentioned above, it all depends on what the 'reason' for denial was. You may need to hire a lawyer. I'm sorry you're having to go through this. Keep faith!

I'm so sorry to hear this! Hang in there!

Hopefully, you'll be able to give us more info. on what the CO said and gave to your fiance, we'll be able to advise you better.

My fiance said the CO kept asking about our phone calls to each other. I sent sufficient phone records and i highlighted our calls to each other. The thing is that I use phone cards everytime I call him and it will not show his number as the number being called. Instead, it shows the access number for the phonecards. The CO said that we only talk 10 minutes each time. Which is complete bullshit cuz we talk for hours every day. The CO told my fiance that he is not convinced and that he thinks we are doing this for immigration purposes only and for me to talk to USCIS here or I could give him a call. He also told my fiance that "this is not over yet" but he did not give my fiance a form stating reason for denial or anything.

I am going to call Barbados Embassy to see if I could speak to the CO who interviewed my fiance. I am so upset right now.

I also sent a couple of emails to the Immigration assistant in Barbados.

If the CO said you should call him, then do that immediately.

Did your fiance' leave the embassy with his passport?

I called and he's in a meeting. I will call him again in 30 minutes.

Yes, the CO gave him back his passport. Nothing else besides that. They retained our papers.

Yes, definitely call the CO directly if you can. If that doesn't do a trick, please provide a detailed report as close to verbatim as possible of the interview. If the CO gave any written response whatsoever, tell us what it says exactly.

I called and the CO is still conducting interviews. The lady on the phone said to call at in 25 minutes (the office closes in 30 mins). The CO asked my fiance questions about me, which he answered correctly. He also showed the CO all our correspondence and tons of pictures. The CO scrutinized everything but he kept asking about the phone calls. My fiance told him that we both use phone cards and his number won't show on my bills. His number only shows as an incoming call on my phonebills but those were calls were short - max 10 minutes. The long calls, I had used phonecards which only shows the access numbers of those phonecards. The CO then said "sorry, I'm denying this visa". My fiance pleaded with him and told him how much we love each other but the CO was not having it. He told my fiance this is "not over yet". CO did not give my fiance any form - only his passport back.

I am hoping I can talk to the CO today and ask him what else he needs from us. Please keep us in your prayers....we need it so desperately right now.

One of my wife's friend was also denied her K1 visa because the examiner didn't believe the relationship was genuine - she was told to have him come for the interview - she rescheduled the interview and he went with her. The second time she was issued the visa - they did ask both of them several questions relating to their meetings etc. Perhaps her 1 year old request for a visitor's visa with a sponsorship by another man may have been the reason for earlier denial. I would suggest, schedule another interview and go this time. Good Luck

Thank you for all your responses.

I just talked to the immigration assistant, Monica Maxwell and she said not to worry, it's not the end of the world. I sent Monica a couple of emails after I found out about the denial and told me that she will forward my emails to the CO who interviewed my fiance. She told me to expect a reply directly from the CO this week and he will tell me what else he needs. I asked if our file will be sent back....she said that the CO will retain our file until he gets back whatever he needs from me.

I feel a little better and if a second interview needs to be scheduled, I will be there with my fiance. I will keep you guys posted. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
