No joint account

[Amrooooo 0]

Hi everybody, pls I need to ask about what can I do because I was interviewed and got white paper without asking any documents for ir1 visa as I am married to my wife usc 8 yrs ago and we didn't open joint account. CO asked how we met and I answered but I was so tired bec I haven't slept that night bec I was so worried so it appeared that i was scared and not focusing on what I say so he returned my passport and said will call me when takes a decision. When he knew that we don't have joint account or any shared property he was suspicious. We are at the same age 59 yrs old. He took only our marriage certificate and my 2 previous divorces certificates. It's been 50 days now and the case was updated only one time a week ago so I need to know since he didn't ask me to submit additional evidence bec my wife comes every 4 months and it's indicated in the files and I told him that we can open joint account when she arrives next time but he didn't comment so what is my situation and he gave me back my passport and white paper marked administrative processing box without asking for documents. It's been 7 weeks so if he wants to refuse me how long will it take and how can he accept me without submitting additional evidence since he is suspicious. My case says under administrative processing and I emailed the embassy 5 days after the interview and the reply was mandatory administrative processing and I  emailed again a week ago after the status has been updated to ask if I can submit additional evidence because my wife will arrive next month but they didn't reply. Are there any clue of what might happen or the decision since he was suspicious and returned my passport. We are married until now for 8 yrs and we kept meeting each other 10 months before we got married and it's proved in her trips because she visits me every around 4 months continuously because she works in the flight career. . When she arrives next time and open joint account will it be good to send it to the embassy or  prefer to wait for their decision and the joint account is enough in this situation or we need to have joint property. Thanks for your help because I have no experience of what might happen and I do appreciate your response all you dears.

You've been married for 8 years,, and you haven't lived together? No co-mingled finances, no evidence of a real marriage other than saying your wife visits because of her job?

What is done is now done.  All you can do is wait until their decision.

I'm sorry, but this might be a long and less-than-perfect outcome.

So many questions come to mind, but I won't ask them.  Where do you live?

There's a lot of red flags, with a joint account being the smallest of them. You've been married a long time and just now getting a visa? No joint anything? I don't fully understand your situation. And, I believe, the folks at the embassy feel the same way. It doesn't seem like a marriage. Does it feel like a marriage to you?

My wife lives with me when she comes here and we tried to open joint account but I was not constant at work but now we can. BTW I am from Turkey.I just want to know how long will it take to send me refusal note?

I agree.  This whole situation smells a little fishy to me.

She lives with you when she is there for her job?  How long does she stay each time?  How much time are you two actually together each year?

She stayed once 6 months when she was sick and recovering from a surgery but often she comes for 10 days because of her job

Impossible to know how long a response will take. Just like the rest of us, you will have to wait. Be patient. I'm still trying to figure out how come you got married 8 years ago and are just now getting around to getting a visa. Did she not want you in the U.S., or did you want to stay in Turkey? In my opinion, this is not how a married couple should act. You should discuss this with your spouse.

I didn't want to go there til I save money to buy a house in the states that's why I was postponing til I have good amount so we don't suffer there bec she pays quarter of her salary and I help her by 30percent of her salary every month so I was afraid to go there til I save good money to buy a house and get rid of the rent

I would prepare my self for bad news in this case............but I could be wrong.........

You've been postponing for 8 years???

[Amrooooo 0]

Yes bec I need to buy the house in cash so if it's not marriage so what is ? We are not young ppl to marry and divorce at this age or we will be every one alone rest of his life

I don't think returning the passport was a good sign.

I know I just need to know how long it takes to refuse because I know they refuse fast when they see no solution. Maximum 45 days or less than 2 months
