visa refused :'(

[Sirwan 1]

this is unbelievable ( we have been made a lot of plans for our wedding and stuff, this is so unfair that they refused my fiances visa for some bs reasons..what we do now im losing my hope gradually...if they dont give her a visa im gonna need to leave this country for ever and go back to my fiance which I love her from the bottom of my heart.
if you have any advises please let my know. im trying to contact my senator and go to his office right now. I have also attached a copy of the refusal worksheet..

Your case is administratively closed. Consular officers apply a “reasonable person standard” when evaluating the bona fides of claimed spousal, fiancé and other relationships. These facts would convince a reasonable person that the claimed relationship is a sham entered into solely for immigration purposes and to evade immigration laws (or is otherwise invalid). Therefore, the reviewing officer has decided that the petition should be returned to the USCIS with the recommendation that it be revoked. When USCIS receives the returned petition, they will contact the petitioner, who will have an opportunity to rebut consular findings concerning this case. If USCIS revokes the petition, beneficiary will become eligible for a visa under section 212(a)(6)©(i) of the Act. If USCIS reaffirms the petition, the petition will be returned to post for further processing.

Immigration is a two way street, there was a thread about this recently.

If you are looking for the quickest option, then it would be for you to move.

Sorry, hope you try again. We were also refused the first time and filed another petition so I know how you are feeling.

What did they not like, what questions did they repeat ?

Did you have enough visits and good quality relationship evidence ?

Did you front load your petition ?

You can ask the senator to request a second interview (very slim chance) and if granted then fly over to be present.

If they do not grant a second interview then it will purposely expire at USCIS and it will NOT give you the chance for rebuttal.

Rebuttal is for returned spousal visas only.

Also it should read "beneficiary will become ineligible (not eligible) for a visa under section....." Having said that, K1's will not be revoked

but expired so therefore the 121(a)(6)©(i) fraud marker will not apply to you.

Their stupid generic answer (in blue) is riddled with mistakes and outdated.

You can file another K1 or marry and file a CR1 or move to your fiance, those are your options.

Whatever you decide I wish you both the best.

So sorry to read about your denial. My husband was denied and it is so deflating, but don't lose hope. If you can,go and join your fiance. It may even be better to marry, then apply for a CR1 visa.

How is it that they can give these answers with completely wrong and misguiding information? So frustrating! It's one thing to be denied but then to be told you can rebut a K1 when that is totally false is such BS. Why are they allowed to give completely erroneous information? Talk about immigration reform

???

Government can lie to you. Supreme Court said so.

I'm so sorry to hear of your denial. What questions were asked? Make sure your fiancé gives you a full and complete account of the interview. If you choose to refile as a fiancé or a spouse you still have to address the concerns that caused the denial. Stay vigilant and don't give up.

[ndprulx 5]

you said you'd have to leave the country for ever if this doesn't work. why so? coz you can actually marry her and get her here.

[TheResistance 6]

Gosh, governments can be so cruel. Stupid rules, taxes, denials of valid relationships. Yet when they do harm to us in some way, we spend months trying to find a valid answer (because who can afford to stay home all the time making calls). I am sorry to hear, Sirwan. That be a fear I would have because of some circumstances (mainly financial) in my life.

Sirwan, do you know at all why they would call your relationship a sham? What right they think to say that?

[Boiler 45,664]

Do you know more than the OP is sharing?

[natasha-mehdito 137]

Hi,

We had exactly the same experience. My Fiance is an Iranian man and our interview was in yerevan. We have a big age difference ( me the older woman) and the interviewing officer was a bit rude about that. He even said my fiancé's sister was paying me to marry him, which is insane. We had lots of proof ( i thought) but clearly not enough. We had only met once before filing, which may have worked against us as well. They are not supposed to make a decision based upon age difference but I think its impossible for them to keep an open mind really with so much fraud.

From what I have read, theres nothing more to do. I emailed the embassy asking them to reconsider but I am not expected them to say "okay".

We are devastated but not done in. Many couples reapply and are approved so you have that option. We might do that .Or marry ad then file as a spouse. We are considering that as well.

So sorry...I know exactly how you feel. We are so incredibly sad.

Let me know what you decide to do and DONT give up!!!

[Sirwan 1]

Thank you all for your great comments and advises. So yes my fiance said that during the interview everything was going well until the officer asked her about my collage's name, she said i couldn't remember your collage name and I told the officer the same thing but he thought I was lying the whole time. she said after that they were placing too much unnecessary stresses to that answer and then became over emphasized about it and started telling me that I was lying. she said me they told her few times and threatened her that (do you know if you lie about any of these answers you will never be able to go to USA for any kind of reasons such as marriage, studying, work purposes and etc..tell us the truth we know you are lying) :I excuse my language but #######?

How could they thread her like that? why would she lie about such thing? seriously is this a joke?? we are in love and have so many plans for our future and kids! but they're trying to ruin everything because of an officer who probably didn't had a good time at home a night before the interview. Why would she come here for immigration purposes??? what does the united states have done for us? I have been here for six years and a half now what I have done is just work! paid hundreds of dollars like any other foreign people to USCIS untill I got my citizenship..have paid too much taxes to the IRS..I still dont have a health insurance, so what are the benefits of being an immigrant here in the U.S. that people wanna move here so badly?

I SWEAR TO GOD IF IT WASNT ABOUT ME AND IF IT WASNT LOVE BETWEEN US SHE WOULD NEVER THINK ABOUT COMING TO THIS COUNTRY! BECAUSE SHE IS A FAMILY PERSON, SHE LOVES HER FAMILY AND ITS SO HARD FOR HER TO LEAVE THEM, BUT SHE WANTS ME MORE THAN ANYTHING AND I WANT HER THE SAME WAY. THIS IS IT!!! IS THIS SO HARD FOR AN OFFICER TO UNDERSTAND WITH ALL THAT PROVES OF RELATIONSHIP THAT WE PROVIDED TO THE EMBASSY? LIKE ALL THAT PICTURES, PHONE BILLS, VIBER SCREEN SHOT...I dont know what else to say

Im sorry I didnt want to right this much im just so upset maybe thats the reason..good luck everyone

A disconnect between USCIS and DOS. Old outdated templates. Underlings not knowing the regulations.

What was your primary evidence?
