K1 rejected from Bangkok Embassy

[Roger Geyer 0]

My fiance's k1 visa was rejected by the Bangkok embassy for prostitution  We filed an i601 in June, 2017.  DHS is processing i601s from August, 2016.  At this rate it will be August, 2018 before we hear anything.

 

Questions:

 

1) should we give up on this and get married in Thailand.  Then, file for a spousal visa?

2)I filed the i601 appeal myself.  Should I get a lawyer involved now?  Can anyone recommend a good one with i601 experience, prostitution and the Bangkok embassy?  

 

FYI, she was not involved in prostitution and was treated very rudely by the visa people.

 

Thanks for any advice.

If she wasn't involved in prostitution why did she get rejected? 

 

They don't just assume people are prostitutes, so they must have proof of it. Does she have a criminal record or anything? People always say they were treated rudely, that's irrelevant. Immigration to the United States is not a right, it's a privilege.

I guess there was a reason for her rejection. Is she a prostitute? If not, then why did she get rejected?

U.S. Immigration Dept can treat you the way they want. Immigration is given to you as a privelege, and not as something they must offer you. If you don't like the way they treated her, just do not immigrate.
