Visa denied

[ch3john 308]

Does the embassy know he's your biological son? If so, I'm surprised they didn't tell you to file CRBA as he is a USC and not eligible for a visa.

Is the Congo a High Fraud Embassy? If so, give them what they need and more...!! Were they asking for an Original Decree of Divorce? Did your fiance provide chat logs, photos, etc?

Having a baby means nothing...only that you didnt use condoms..

🤣 A baby.....! Why didn't I think of that? 😜

[ConOfficer 167]

A notice went out stating specifically that original affidavits of supports are no longer required - scanned copies are acceptable. Also, an affidavit of support is not a legal requirement for a K1 visa. So that's strange. 

 

Sometimes an officer might 221g a case just to see how the family responds. Submit the docs and you should be fine.

Echoing above comment that your son is probably an AmCit. You should look into a consular report of birth abroad and save yourself some trouble. How long have you been an AmCit?

You seem to think that because you have a son together that is enough proof. USCIS really does not care about it. They know people are capable of anything just to get a visa/GC for the U.S. You need to provide them with the requested documents. If have been married before then a divorce decree is mandatory for the K1 visa process. If you don't  give them that document, how will they know that you are legally able to marry again? And once again, having a child proves nothing and I doubt that makes the process easier. Or everybody would be having a child. 

They want to see the proof documents. 

 

 I disagree. The USCIS officer who interviewed me for the GC explicitly told me having a child would be a great bona fide proof for ROC. I know this whole "having a child" doesn't matter myth is alive and well on VJ, I personally dont believe in it.

Its not a myth. 

 

I have no doubt the Officer said that to you, and its a truthful statement. A child born to the couple during the relationship is a GREAT item to include for ROC. (so are many other things) However having a child is not enough to prove a relationship. It can be used as one of the many items you assemble as proof but it can not be the sole proof. 

 

There have been plenty of VAWA applicants (with multiple children) that were not approved for bonafide marriage requirement because all the proof they had was the children.

My son is coming as a Rider because he was not eligible for CRBA. I know people are saying here that having a son does not prove anything to the Embassy; But how could we determine that a relationship is true? A baby in relationship is a big proof!!

[Suss&Camm 2,213]

I want to stress that the relationship requirement for the K1 is to have met within the last 2 years. Pictures can have been taken at any time. You didn't mention an tickets and boarding passes. This is primary evidence and the pictures are supportive. You can also send bank statement of using a card in that country at that time?  this would be strengthened again by photos connected to that use. Pictures by themselves are not evidence of meeting within the last 2 years.

Why is he not eligible? How long have you been a USC?

Are you reading the other replies? It's been stated many times you need to present more evidence of a relationship than just having a child together. A lot of children have been born out of non bona fide relationships. 

 

Stop and take a minute to read the entire thread.

Child is just a proof that you had sex. It's not a proof that your marriage/relationship is doing fine and it's real.

I mean they were given administrative processing... But why are they asking for divorcece decree? All the documents were submitted with my I-134 package. They should normally have it with them.

Just provide the documents that they are asking for.

They always ask for the divorce decree, very normal. The i-129f only requires photo copies, but at the interview they want to see originals or certified copies. We sent a certified copy of the divorce decree with our i-129f but were still asked for another certified copy at the interview.

This is great advice, I am in the same boat, divorced and am the petitioner. I requested 2 certified copies from the court to send to my fiance before his interview, should I also send him the original?

I have kept a submitted any little piece of paper like boarding passes , tickets ... I have been a member of VJ since 2013. I know these small things were important. We submitted even papers from western union showing financial support from me... Passport stamps ... I am really confused why he is asking for more evidence!... This is very frustrating!! I will be submitting the same exact things again plus the original of the Affidavit of Support!

I am aware of what is going because I have created this thread! I know how CRBA works! And again my son is not eligible for it! What would make a difference being born out or in a bona fide relationship? A child is a child as long as the DNA reveals partenity! I have gained my citizenship thru the US. Army and CRBA requires me to be here at least 5 years so I have missed it by a year! But nevertheless, my son is my son it does not matter if I had him with a prostitute !!
