Before anyone here can effectively help you, you are going to need to provide us with some information. Did you get the 212 or the 221g?

If you got the 221g, what box is checked, and what are their notes underneath the checked box?

Optional Form 191 (4-91)

I can find no reference to this form under USCIS or DOS

The form is "pursuant to section 221". The reason - "not enough documentaion prior to April 2006" which makes no sense - there is nothing magical about April. I am amazed at the power some people wield. My very expensive lawyer has sent an appeal.

Fred I have a question for you? Have you been residing in Romania for a long period of time? Since you said your fiance had nursed you back to health. If so the only forms I am finding on the USCIS website deals with Unrelenquished Domiclie? Here is the link http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/files/i-191.pdf. This may not be helpful. But good luck.

No - just got back from a two week visit. She was here (legally) for a year and a half, up until mid-June

Copies of her entry/exit stamps would be further primary documentation of you being together prior to April then. There must be other proofs if she was with you for that long... mail addressed to her/cards, letters, email that indicate she was there with you/receipts she may have for expenses while she was there.

Most of the cases refusal (221g) are because of documents missing or additional information required by the consulate.

If you provide the necessary documentation (even when their request seems strange or ridiculous) you should be fine.

This is what I was thinking, that they are requesting more documentation.

Fred, you giving us bits and pieces here. Does it state that they want more documentation or does it say they are sending it back to the USCIS service center that initially approved your petition?

Also, I am sure there are many people that can testify to the fact that you were indeed together during the time you stated. You can get letters from them stating this. Make sure they include a phone number so they can contact them for more information if they choose too.

They have noterized affadvits or our relationship from 5 people, pictures of us in her country, a video of her dancing at my sisters house, phone bills, passport stamps, emails and on and on. I was very ill at the begining of the year, which they know) and we have no earlier pictures and the phone bills are unavailable. I am not in the habit of saving movie tickets or restaurant receipts either. THis is ridiculous as I mentioned before even if we did meet only since April then that is still completely legitamte. Nevertheless they have overwhelming proof and it is evidence of how subjective a system this is.

Since they are looking for evidence of them being together PRIOR to his visit, copies of HER passport pages with entry/exit stamps would be of more use.

Which they have along with full documention of her stay here which was 20 minutes from my residence!

If the visa was denied based on "lack of evidence" (no matter how ridiculous this is), you have no choice but to provide what they are asking for. If you don't have hard copy receipts, what about credit card statements with the relevant items highlighted? Do whatever you can to get what they need and resend what they already have as well. It's not fair and it's a huge pain but it will be worth the trouble in the end. Good luck!

Have you given the Consulate documentation prior to April or not?

You don't have anymore documentation? Why can't you get phonebills? While in the United States, did she write letters to her family back in Romania? Did she take community college classes or hold a part-time job? Did she have a cell phone in her name? Did she sign up for anything at all that you could get to prove that she lived in the United States for the past year?

You haven't said if they are asking for more evidence or if your petition has been returned. That makes a difference.

You should try to contact the Consulate.

What you might want to do, in the worst case scenario, is go to the interview with her, if you can possibly schedule a second interview. Another poster did that and it proved successful.

Hang in there.

I am so sorry! You will be in my prayers. May God Bless you and ease the pain that you must be feeling right now. I pray that your appeal is successful and that this issue is resolved. You will remain in my prayers.

Oh my GOD!!! Im really sorry for you! ....Im going to have my interview next week!!! Im so sorry!!!

[ursy 0]

Well they denied the Visa at the interview!!!! Reason: not enough documention proving we met before Aprii!!! We actually met in the summer of 2005 and provided 5 notarized affadvits stating so, plus phone bills, pictures from my recent trip to her country, diamond ring reciept etc etc etc. I can't believe this. My fiance saw me through a life threatening ilness at the begining of the year and a 5 month recovery and they question the validity of our relationship! I am beside myself.

If you think that it was not fair and you realy gave to the embassy all what it was requested, contact your USA Senator (by phone) and complain with him/her, they can contact the USA embassy and ask for an explanation. It realy works.

Good luck!

i am really confused about this case
