So today I get a call from my spouse an am told that over 200 Yemeni immigrant that applied for a ir1 visa got denied. What’s the reason for this. I’m just really scared they might deny our visa. HELP!!

So you think it might not be legit

what I’m hearing it’s this week

[Boiler 43,363]

Lets do the Maths, 200 denied a week is 10,000 a year, plus presumably those who were approved.

 

Are there that many application for an Ir1 going through that Consulate?

Djibouti issues less than 100 IR-1s a month

Yes that does sound unlikely

That's what those of us who have been doing this awhile hate the most is the gossip. It's always I heard this or someone told me that, but when the rubber meets the road it turns out to be false or gravely overstated.

My question too. What embassy is seeing over 200 applicants per day?

Not only do the lies hurt so many. These lies also sucker honest ppl who think they are speaking to someone who is connected and lets them get involved with their paper work.

Don't worry this happens alot in Filipino culture as well. It is always "I heard this" or "someone I know who knows someone went through this", the best one that I hate is "A filipino says it so it must be true even if there is no evidence".

I’m currently in Djibouti right now.it was more like 50 people got called in today to pick up there passports since they already started denying Yemenis entry into America.
