See you make it sound like your uncle (one of your parent's siblings) married your wife's aunt (one of her parent's siblings.)

So like my photo???

just wanted to leave a little update, I talked to an imitation lawyer which I sent the letter I got at the embassy to and he told me that I should start applying for things or leasing things under both my wife and I name, he said that the nvc will now ask for proof of bona-fide marriage

and that is what they are gonna be looking for, do u guys think this case is already hopeless or should I keep trying. gonna be a year since the interview on July 31...

and yes that's how it is like your photo dipicts my uncle (my father's brother) married my wife's aunt (her father's sister)

Keep trying, don't give up. Do as the immigration attorney informed you, take out a bank account under both names, if either of you have properties add each other. Just do as much to show them you are a real marriage.

[Bonao2013 8]

that's what we are doing, but for a few things I need to actually be physically present in D.R so I'll have to go soon to see her.. I mean it's almost a year and no letter from immigration, we are both getting very impacient

[NikLR 13,220]

Okay she's your cousin's cousin and thusly is not actually related to you. You do not share any DNA. Maybe nake this fact known

[Bonao2013 8]

I did, I told the consulate officer the exact same thing he looked at me like I just said the most ridiculous lie in the world and smirked at me

[NikLR 13,220]

Dna tests?

[Bonao2013 8]

dha tests? why?? that doesn't show when two people are cousins right?? I don't know if the letter will say that's why they rejected her, never occurred to me tho

[BellaRose_09 13]

A DNA test will be more than enough proof to show you two have no family ties. If i was you, I would start looking into this. Maybe a simple test as a DNA test will solve all of this.

[Bonao2013 8]

just in case I'll do it too, the thing is they probably just said that to scare me, I don't know I feel like someone called the embassy and lied about out case so they won't approve us, because I had tons of proof they didn't even ask for it

[Bonao2013 8]

hey everyone I just received an email from uscis in which they said they received my case from department of state, and are now reviewing it, and I will receive a letter through mail when they have made their decision... is this good or bad what should I expect??

[Bonao2013 8]

bump...

[BellaRose_09 13]

That is GREAT!..At least your case is moving along,USCIS will be making its final decision soon..Take this as a positive note

[Bonao2013 8]

I am, because at least it's something, I wonder what their descision will be and what I should start getting ready, I want to be ready as soon as that letter arrives

I have been told that you can appeal the decision the consulate made at the point of interview once the case is back with USCIS. You can have a lawyer write an appeal letter stating the reason why for the appeal and then submit all evidence you have supporting it.
