After speaking with him he mentioned that not only could he not answer the sibling question (cause he honestly didn't know and will not lie!) But the interviewer asked of all the photos, why didn't she see a photo of us at the municipality holding hands and him placing a ring on my finger. My answer to that is because we simply didn't do all that. We didn't wear our rings until the day we got married and since we didn't have a traditional ceremony, but a courthouse one, we didn't those 'type' of photos. However we were both in wedding attire and took plenty of photos in the garden with all our witnesses (family and friends). We had an engagement party, the legal marriage then planned to do a huge reception in the US. So no, our plans was to only go to the courthouse for the legal aspect of our marriage.

My point here is that we are NOT TRYING TO PROVE A LIE...WE ARE TRYING TO PROVE THE TRUTH!!!

Thats why its so hard for us to comprehend because we can't make up the TRUTH.

And to answer a few of the questions:

We are only 3 years apart in age.

He speaks perfect English and teaches french.

He knew everything down to when I get vacation time at work so there was no nervousness. We were overtly prepared for this day.

Please help guys cause I could honestly die.

Just another Ghana bona fide return. You will receive a NOID/NOIR letter from USCIS in 6-12 months and you (USC) then have the chance for a rebuttal.
If USCIS is satisfied with your reply then they will send it again to the embassy with recommendation to approve, they can approve or return it again.

Be on the premises for the next interview ! Visit now while you wait until you receive the letter next year, then you have even more evidence to include.

To those talking about appeal, there is nothing to appeal unless USCIS denies the petition. The embassy can't deny but only refuse to issue the visa

and return the petition with recommendation to revoke.

This is about responding to the future NOID/NOIR letter and that's it.

I can't believe you were denied just because you didn't have a "Hollywood marriage ceremony", that would be crazy. Lots of people just do a courthouse wedding and don't have any pictures, my husband and I included.

How many times have you guys actually physically met/visited each other? How long were you in a relationship before getting married? Those are things that prove a bona fida marriage and they're pretty important, especially at the more high fraud embassies.

Any time someone wants to show other vj members an attachment....such as a letter from NVC, be sure to cover private information first. You don't want to reveal your case number, social security number. etc etc.

Thank you so much, very helpful information

Thanks for the heads up on this!

To answer a few questions:

1. I've only been there once.
2. That's when we had our engagement party and was married.
3. I haven't been back because we cant really afford it and we didn't have a clue that this would take so long. Each time we thought to travel we would heard back from the NVC giving us hope that the end of all this was right around the corner.
4. Now that he was denied, I plan to head back in January. While there, we will obtain more "bona fide" supporting documentation. Any tips?
5. We dated 6 mos then I took the long trip there and got married. I know you're wondering, but for religious purposes we don't see the need for long engagements.

**Most importantly, had I known what I know now...I would have stayed longer, went back more frequently, documented EVERYTHING, and even stage things. I say staged because the truth isn't enough. They WANT to see the fluff. Baffles me...

Oh! And since he was denied I haven't written my local congressman and senators for ANY assistance they could give. I read on here that its a long shot, but some have been successful. Any advice?

I really do not see what a Congressperson could do, you know the reason.
