What are all the reasons someone might be denied at their interview?

That's not an easy answer, in fact it's probably impossible without studying the Field Adjudicator's Manual; which is available online.

If you have a specific concern about your case, try to ask a specific question and you'll likely get the answer quickly.

What are all the reasons someone might be denied at their interview?

Many reasons. Each couple has their own issues and circumstances.

First and foremost a couple should look at their red flags. Things that may get extra scrutiny. Things that go against the cultural norms of the immigrates culture .

Some red flags are

1. Large age gap

2. Different religions

3. Divorced and children

4. Too soon after a divorced started new relationship

5. Multiple previous petitions for others (whether the beneficiary tried with others or the petitioner had tried to bring others to the US.

6. Married soon after meeting each other face to face.

7. Short visits (less than 21 days.

8. Race difference

One thing you have to realize is every embassy is different every CO at same embassy is different and can look at two different couples with same evidence and one gets approved the other denied.

Who knows why field investigations maybe found something. A wife, a husband not declared. Too Numerous things

I have known of someone who was denied because they took too few pictures and didn’t have a white church wedding. I have seen someone denied and they lived with husband 3 years and was told “not a bonafide relationship”. Yet I know someone else approved who came stayed 1 week married and they were approved.

Everyone’s denial is specific to them their evidence and the feelings of the CO at that time

Don't be so concerned about that. I listed just some of the red flags which may or may not give the CO to look deeper.

I know many especially going through the hardest embassy mine in Nigeria and they had over a 20 year difference age wasn't even brought up. They put together a great package that showed a bonafide relationship that satisfied the CO. that's what you focus on.

You are NOT screwed. Don't even think that way. So not to worry.
