What if.....

[newonehere 7]

I have read so many posts on how the interviewer does not even look at the evidence and outright denies the visa. Such things scare me a lot .

I am already on my fourth month of i130 and I am sure it will b e no less than a eight month wait , and what if after all this trouble the interviewer just denies me out of ego or something? Does that happen a lot?

ego?? not involved

supporting documentation totally involved

have you read any of your embassy reviews for more specifics?

don't begin to worry about things you don't have to .. redirect your energy to research

You have to take some of the stories here with a grain of salt. I'm sure people are getting denied here, but I have to give the embassies the benefit of the doubt that they are being denied for a reason. You never wrote a bad review on a restaurant and exaggerated some of the details, or omitted certain things?

When my wife got her interview, they asked only a few questions, and spent maybe a total of 5 mins from start to finish. I gave them a mountain of paperwork. Now I'm pretty sure they didn't grant a visa based on those 5 mins of flipping through the paperwork. I have to assume somebody did a more thorough initial review/evaluation before this person saw the paperwork. Kind of like when I give my boss a 50 page estimate. He only flips through the stuff he is looking for, like the bottom line cost, rider, etc because he knows I already cleared/reviewed the other stuff.

Actually, I haven't read any posts here where the interviewer has not even looked at the evidence and denied a visa outright.

There was a post here recently where someone's friends blamed H&R Block because they got a checklist from the NVC on their financial support I-864. Well they certainly did not get a checklist because they used H&R Block prepared returns, they got a checklist because they did not include all the schedules, or W-2's, or some other form. But they simply want to blame someone other than themselves. So be careful with the hearsay...there is most certainly more to the story.

So relax, there will be no problem if you are truthful and prepared to show the expected evidence (as pointed out above).

You should send everything you want the consular officer to look at to be included in the file. They do not have to look at evidence you bring to the interview. They will look at evidence that is in the file before the interview which is why it is recommended that high fraud countries front load at the I-130 and then send evidence with the IV package to the NVC as well. If you bring it all to the interview you're not giving yourself the best fighting chance. They cannot deny for no reason at all.

I take back what I wrote...Now I have read some real horror stories about the Consulate in Guayaquil. Hard to believe that people could be mistreated like this. Mas que malo.

If they were so biased, the consulate would never hear the end of it. They may deny a visa outright because of some inadmissibility criteria (also mostly objective). See INA: ACT 212 - GENERAL CLASSES OF ALIENS INELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE VISAS AND INELIGIBLE FOR ADMISSION; WAIVERS OF INADMISSIBILLITY for more details. If you believe you are ineligible for any of these reasons, it might behoove you to prepare a waiver, but do NOT preemptively file a waiver. Always wait for the consulate to ask for supporting documentation.
