I'm sorry but it is surprising when interviews in Montreal don't go well. They are usually very straight-forward. What type of evidence did you send in the first place? What kind of questions did they ask you?

I agree very odd, you have one post so nobidy knows your story.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

And please be very precise about the EXACT information you submitted, as well as the specific questions that were asked -- without both, it's hard to give any advice

So an arranged marriage, that could be why.

Note: Evidence of a Bonifide Marriage

The USCIS now requires that when filing an I-130 for a spouse that you include evidence of a bonifide marriage. They list examples of acceptable evidence as: 1. Documentation showing joint ownership or property; or 2. A lease showing joint tenancy of a common residence; or 3. Documentation showing co-mingling of financial resources; or 4. Birth certificate(s) of child(ren) born to you, the petitioner, and your spouse together; or 5. Affidavits sworn to or affirmed by third parties having personal knowledge of the bona fides of the marita lrelationship (Each affidavit must contain the full name and address, date and place of birth of the person making the affidavit, his or her relationship to the petitioner of beneficiary, if any, and complete information and details explaining how the person acquired his or her knowledge of your marriage); or 6. Any other relevant documentation to establish that there is an ongoing marital union.

All is clear.

You answered your own question.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

It is interesting that USCIS was ok with your file and the Embassy was not convinced. Is there anything in the questions that the interviewer asked that may give you a clue as to why the Consulate sees things differently?

suggestions for evidence (just a starting list)

  • Here is one thing that may help: Have your wife add you to bank accounts and insurance plans as a beneficiary. The same can be said for your bank account.
  • Also when she filed her 2014 taxes did she include you has her spouse ( married filing jointly , married filing separate ) ? It is a challenge because one needs to file a W7 to get a tax id number , but there are ways to file without one
  • Any intermingling of funds between bank accounts ( you helped her, she helped you)
  • Documents a trips taken together, boarding passes for example
  • Print outs of Social media or email that would indicate you are a couple.

At this point I would just bury the embassy with evidence.

The content available on a site dedicated to bringing folks to America should not be promoting racial discord, euro-supremacy, discrimination based on religion , exclusion of groups from immigration based on where they were born, disenfranchisement of voters rights based on how they might vote.
