After K1 denied

[Ameera73 0]

Hello!, I don't feel like writing today, my husband in Egypt was denied today at his interview at Cairo's embassy, it is a sad day for both of us, the lady who interviewed my husband today after denying the visa, my husband was concerned, so he asked her: what we can do now?, and she, in a mockery tone, answered: Call her, and tell her to come to marry you here.

I went online, to Cairo´s embassy website, and I found this information there, I just want to make sure if that all we have to do to get marry in Egypt, if somebody here had the same experience, I will appreciate any help, whatever information you can share with me, I will really appreciate it

I am so sorry to hear this for you two.

Did the CO tell him why u were denied? Reason why I ask is marriage doesn't always answer the issue if there were problems.

Once u two can really sit down and discuss the whole interview questions asked how he answers. Do u have red flags. How many times u visited for how long.

And what if anything did the CO write on the denial form.

Once u get all that then u will know what to do next. Maybe after talking to him u can request a 2nd interview maybe u can go their talk to CO. Do not give up fight. Fight for love k.

You can get married but that does not necessarily mean that your next petition will be approved. What are your red flags?

The lady who interviewed my husband was the one who said: call her and tell her to come to marry you here in Egypt, he told me she didn't asked too many questions, she asked why I was there just for a week, and he explained to her because of the situation of the country, I went there in January 2011, 5 days after I came back to US, they had the revolution at Tahrir, and when he said that to her, she kept asking stupid questions like: how did you knew they will have a protest there?, are you like a CIA agent?

I don't know what it's a red flag, thanks for your message, and help.

But at this point what we can do?, we have to keep trying, we love each other so much, this is a really sad day for both of us, and what bothers me is the way they are treating people at the interview, is not fair, there is not need for that kind of attitude towards people.

Thanks so much for your reply, I really don't know what a red flag is.

Now I know what is a red flag, no, we don't have red flags,

You don't really mean your "husband in Egypt" was denied for a K-1 Visa, right?

You don't really mean your "husband in Egypt" was denied for a K-1 Visa, right?

She meant to write Fiance, her wording isn't exactly right during her time of sadness. To any of you who have gone through this will you please tell her what's the best she and her fiance can do from this point. She realizes that she will have to go to Egypt to Marry her fiance, stay for a while and then return home to file the I-130.

CR-1 folks can probably answer most her questions best...Thanks

Go to Marry him and stay with him as long as possible.I stayed with my husband 2 months before we married of course at his parents home.Since that time I been to Egypt a total of 1 year before our 2nd anniversary.Shortest visit 2 months.If anything go live with him there and file from Egypt.If this didn't work out that's exactly what I was going to do.Maybe the short visit had something to do with why they denied you.I'm so sorry for that I know how you must feel I'm no expert in this situation GOOD LUCK with what ever route you 2 decide to do

Red flags are a "checklist" of common traits or elements that may trigger suspicion of immigration fraud.

Answer the following questions: (not here, just for your information)

Age gap/ difference?

Do you make enough money to sponsor him?

How many times have you visited? The revolution is no excuse. I went there 3 times during the revolution.

Do you have children? ages?

Previous marriages/ divorces (for both of you)?

What are your educational backgrounds?

Has he wired transferred money to you?

Have you sent money to him?

Religious differences? If not, did she convert upon your request?

Language barriers?

How did you meet? Internet? common friends and family?

Did you meet his family and friends?

Did he bring any proof of a bonafide relationship? What were those items?

Does he have family and friends in the US?

Has he been petitioned before?

The only way we can help you is if you answer these questions AND you give us a detailed account of the interview. Other than that, getting married will NOT guarantee approval. You must address all this, find out why he was denied and then decide what actions to take.

Good luck!

There's a red flag right here: "she asked why I was there just for a week" That means you had a short stay for your first visit. Just meeting in person for 5 days and then filing for a fiance visa is most likely a red flag to a Consulate Officer.

Do you have an age difference?

Did you meet his family?

Have you been married before? Have kids?

Your religion?

The week you spent there, was that the first and only time you've met him in real life?

If so, I believe that's one of the main reasons your fiance was denied. An all too common scenario for fraudulent relationships is that the USC visits the beneficiary's country for one very short visit - just to fill the "met in person" requirement.

Also, while it's certainly becoming more normal nowadays with online dating etc., deciding to get married after only having met for one short visit is far from the norm in the US.

Getting married will not solve the reason why the embassy didn't believe your relationship was real. If you've only met once, I would take some time, plan some more visits to Egypt, spend more time with his family. Get married and then re-file as husband and wife. You're trying to prove that your relationship is real and genuine to an embassy that has seen its fair share of "tricks."

i'm just assuming. but maybe her calling her fiance "HUSBAND" that cost them K1 denied??

esp. if they read ALL their communication logs.

anyways for OP i'm so sorry dear.....but marrying him is not the answer...you need to do something about this. perhaps hiring your own lawyer...

god bless u
