Hi,

My wife has her cr1 interview next week in Manila (I will be going with her)

She was denied on an invester visa about a year ago, and we were married about 2 weeks after the denial. Is it possible we can be denied because it might look shady? For the record, we have all the documentation, tons of pictures receipts and we have spent every day if the last year together. Please advise

My immigration lawyer initially said that they would probably not even know about the initial visa (investor) because 1 is an immigrant, and 1 a mon immigrant. However, researching the interview process it looks as if in the petition it ask if she was ever denied a visa, and to provide dates. In just concerned the Pinoy who questions us 1st will give us a hard time. Also according to my lawyer they made up laws that do not exist for why her investor visa was denied and it was my lawyers idea to hurry up and get married to start the spousal visa.

As of now our plan is to say that at the time of the investor visa we were dating, and I wanted to make sure she liked the states and got along with my family and after her denial of investor visa we went through with marriage. It all happens to be the truth. Just wondering if this will be an issue with CO

They may question why she tried to go this way, in which case answering honestly is your best best. But otherwise it shouldn't be an issue that I can see.
