God is in control 

God would be more helpful if you hadn't lied and made material misrepresentations.  God help those who help themselves.  God does not help fools who lie and decieve.

If God does indeed exist, then I find this to be absolutely false. There are many fools who lie and deceive all the time and who are "blessed" with amazingly fortunate lives.

 

Back to the topic... the advice to get a good attorney, one with experience filing waivers, is good advice.

I submitted evidence at all levels uscis nvc and the embassy. 

But in my previous petition I was denied co said no legal marriage. 

Refiled and refused again. 

Then they called me and asked where we registered the marriage. They also asked some people and they confirmed the marriage was real.

The paper issued indicate material misrepresentations. 

Well, if they actually sent people to your vicinity to investigate about the authenticity or otherwise of your marriage and, they got a confirmation that the marriage is "Real", then there is still the possibility that you will be given the visa regardless of what you well told at the interview

...And more so as they will be going to where you registered the marriage to confirm the authenticity or otherwise of same. For they would normally not waste time and other resources to investigate cases after interview if the final decision was ABSOLUTE REFUSAL. You are very likely to be issued the visa regardless.

My first thought is how did you divorce the GF?

 

Second would be that marrying without showing the divorce would be bigamy. Wonder how that was addressed.

he was given a 221G for misrepresentation, it is funny that you actually think that all the lies he told CO, they are even going to remotely pass him simply because they went to investigate the marriage??

you should read his original thread the stories he has told are so far backwards, I am not sure he even knows what is the truth and what is a lie.

 

first he was never married but wanted to benefit from the DV lottery winner so they claimed they were married, but somewhere in that time line, she came back to him, and they went to have some sort of civil wedding but then never registered it.

then to him they were never married because they never lived together, so he claimed she was the gf but on the ds 230 for dv lotter claimed women 1 was only gf never wife, there is another lie, or maybe truth even I am not sure at this point.

 

Further more they prob lied on the first petition saying he was never married, another misrepresentation in my book, there are so many holes in this petition it looks like Swiss cheese.

Hmm, well now he is claiming a traditional marriage and a traditional divorce and not a GF.

 

Seems an unlikely case to be approved without the additional complications.

 

I assume it has as advised been refused and sent back, now what then happens, if it is reaffirmed or a NOIR issued will not be known for some time.

I went for an interview barely a month ago and the immigrant visa was refused. I sent an email to inquire about the the status of the case. I received a response from the US embassy that "the immigrant visa case according to their record is undergoing administrative processing."

Please can someone explain what it means to me?

Thanks. 

Which country?

Sounds like a whole mess of things going on...

  • I agree that there is likely a permanent (but waivable) bar for misrepresentation due to the past lies.
  • However, this is not a caus3e for a returned petition. A petition is only returned when they believe it is invalid. given the PO's stated history, this means it could be either - or both - of the following:
    • Not a legal marriage
    • Not a bona fide marriage (the CO not believing the relationship is real)
  • If both of the above are resolved (i.e. if the I-130 is reaffirmed by USCIS), then the issue of a material misrepresentation (or not?) comes into play.
  • It sounds like the CO initially refused the visa but they had an investigation unit look into the case...presumably to get information on the items above (particularly the bona fide marriage aspect). Most likely the case was not actually refused and sent back to USCIS yet.

Lawyer up....you're going to need it. This is not a DIY case.

I remember participating in your other thread about this...

 

Little face-time with your 2nd wife, married on the first meeting, the previous lie on the DV application about the first "wife"...

 

At this point (rereading the previous thread and now this one), better solution would be for your US spouse to consider living with you in Ghana.

Ok so first off, God is not a get out of jail free card. You're responsible for everything you do in your life and have to deal with the consequences just like everyone else.

 

Second, this is going to need a lot of money on a lawyer, or the simplest solution would be as others have said: Your wife should move to Ghana to live with you.

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed
