Sorry does your spouse have any previous travel experience and hope he didn't overstay any of his visas?

A lawyer can't stop issues. Lawyers are only needed for legal matters. Sorry you are going through this but this happens alot trust me. And sorry you wasted money on a ticket. never ever buy a ticket until Visa in hand.  CO's change minds, Visa machines break, our systems get hacked and delays can be for weeks and months. Lessons learned o.

The process is like this a CO interviews the beneficiary. They may say approved or other things but it's the Supervisor over all the CO's that has final approval authority. So something the Supervisor saw that they needed to look into or more investigative information came in.

 

let me ask does your husband have children? You said he was never married but does he have children?

 

Have you and your husband gone over all the questions that were asked? Was there a particular focus on a subject matter?

 

Do you have red flags in your relationship? Other filings (you or him)?

 

Big age gap?

 

Short period of knowing each other?

 

only one visit and you got married haven't returned and visit was short?

 

Your next move call your Senator get them involved and tell them you were told nothing and you would like to know. See a lawyer will not look deeper, will not email, call or contact any representative to look into your case. They will shrug their shoulders and say "I don't know" as they collect your money.

Two important lessons for others to learn from this post:

 

1.  never buy airline tickets or do anything that requires a financial commitment until you have the visa in your hands, in your passport

2.  attorneys do not help at all in most cases, all they want is your money

 

 

I agree with not buying the tickets early but can’t they just leave the ticket open without cancelling ? A ticket once bought is good for a year .

Yeah, lawyers do not prevent or reduce the "running into issues."  They do not have special access to embassies or information that you yourself cannot get.  Nor do they make any part of the process faster.

Please read my profile, it has my full timeline.  We went through a lot with the consulate in Lagos. 

 

They initially approved my fiance and then called him back a few days later to interview him again.  He ended up being denied after the initial approval due to misrepresentation that we disclosed with our petition. 

 

I agree with dwheels- ask a lot of questions to find out what the concern may be!
