I would not even attempt to make one as some people take great offense to the term and don't realize being from a "high fraud" country is not a personal indication of their partner being high fraud themselves.

This is true. I actually admire people from high fraud countries or people with spouses from high fraud countries who know and admit as such.

Well my fiance is from Colombia and from what postings I heard it could be higher fraud country but I havent seen overall denials looking at the old records. In any event, Im not overly concerned our relationship is real with tons of proof, we live together in Colombia and even have kids together we are raising them.

The site above implies that almost all nations in Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Asia are scrutinized more heavily as "high fraud" nations.

The site further implies that nations in Western Europe, Canada, and Australia are not scrutinized as heavily because they are "low fraud" nations.

Interesting...

Nigeria

India

Ghana

Morocco

Yemen

Kenya

Philippines

China

Mexico

I can believe that. My wife's AOS took over 8 months. We still have no idea why... No RFE's, nothing was wrong.

In about our 5th month of complete USCIS silence, we were at a birthday party for a friend's child. While there, we overheard that another friend of her's had recently married a Canadian man and his AOS was over and done with in less than 2 months. When my friend asked the new "bride's" mother how they were doing, she replied "Oh... They've already filed for divorce." My friend then asked her "What about the email sent to dozens of people 'congratulating' them on their wedding???" Her mother replied, "We had to make it look real for immigration!"

If I had even the slightest faith that USCIS would have investigated a complaint where I had no names and only hearsay from an also unknown third-party, I would have been on the phone that very day. Instead, I just came to hate the whole process even more. Talk about blood boiling!!!

Hopefully, he got burned at ROC although I tend to believe he used the rapid divorce as a way to game the system even further and file for the 10-year GC right away.

You'll be fine but I believe fiancees/spouses from certain countries are given less scrutiny/more benefit of the doubt than others.
