Hi,

I am wondering what the reasons a CR-1 visa can be denied. I guess there are some easy ones:

*If you answered yes to any of the questions on the DS-230.

*If they don't believe that you have a real relationship.

Is there anything else?

THANKS!

1. The petitioner is ineligible to submit a petition. This would usually be caught at the petition stage, but occasionally a petition will be approved when it shouldn't have.

2. The petitioner died before the visa was issued. Not common, but it happens. The beneficiary might be able to self-petition if they were married for two or more years.

3. The beneficiary is ineligible to receive a visa. This is different from being inadmissible. For example, maybe the beneficiary was previously in the US on a J1 visa that had a two-year home residency requirement, and they haven't fulfilled that requirement yet.

4. The beneficiary is inadmissible. This could be because of something that would have resulted in a "yes" answer on the DS-230. It could also be because of something that's discovered at the interview, such as the consular officer concludes the beneficiary lied about something, or that the relationship is a sham.

5. Insufficient sponsor for the affidavit of support. This presumes the petitioner couldn't produce a sufficient joint sponsor, as well.

Number 4 is the most common.
