Fiance i-129F Visa

[sahil0619 0]

My Fiancé Just had her interview yesterday (06/15/2012) and was denied at Islamabad (Pakistan) Consulate... I was previously married and got legally divorced in 2003 and my fiancé was also previously married and had obtained her legal devoiced in 2009. We got engaged in June 2011 and afterword I have filed i-129F...

The i-129F was approved very quickly within 4 months in USA, and transferred to Pakistan consulate shortly… after 5 months of waiting my fiancé got an interview email and was very short time of the interview about 10 days and before couple of days of her interview she got official interview letter in mail… she was pretty much well prepared for the interview..

The officer was very nasty; she refused impractical question, what is the guarantee that you guys are not gotten divorce again in 5 to 6 months… I was wondering if anyone gone through this kind of situation… Please advise me what the next step I should follow is...

did they request anything more from you? did they say they were returning the case? What were the questions they asked? They can't deny because they don't think your marriage will work out.. there has to be something else. Giving us more details would help us help you...

Sorry about all this...

Sahil,

Couple of facts that were probably of concern to the agent that you mentioned:

1. You were divorced

2. Your FIANCEE is also divorced

3. You are applying for a K1 fiancé visa

4. Term of relationship (time)

The above listed facts are all unfortunately working against you. Basically concern of the agent is that it is too soon and also proof of on going trelationship. Essentially you two are being asked to prove that what happened in the past is not a habitual behavior. Getting fiancé visa for someone who has gone through a divorce is a bit difficult to do in the first place. you now have to additionally prove you two belong together and further evidence of a solid relationship with a promising future. Also fiancé visa is a promissory agreement not a binding agreement like a marriage. . It would be easier for you to get married then file for visa.

However if you feel certain the fiancé visa is the route you would like to go, see what happens when your file is reviewed, maybe the second level reviewer feels differently go through an appeal process see how that pans out for you.

Like EAbbas and sn530 have stated, it also sounds to me like there was something more to the story that set off a red flag to them. I am divorced and have children from my previous husband and didn't have too much difficulty obtaining my finace's K1. How long have you all known each other? Have you ever met in person? This story seems a little bit incomplete without futher details and laying blame on the Consular Officer.
