I should of been there at interview but i just visited her 2 months ago so i didn't go. I would love to move to india but Im not financially unstable since I recently graduated and my contract to one of my job just ended. Im looking for 2nd job so i can pay off my student loan, the skills i have is with DoD so i wont be much of use in india and that has no value, so it would be better for me to stay in usa and support her financially while we wait for this process. I also support my parents, since they are old, so i cant leave them here. The only option i see is wait it out and visit her much as possible and support her financially from here.

Is she ok living away from her newly married husband AND away from her entire immediate family? You should ideally have a conversation with her.

In my group there are people who spend less time then that together, this is how arrange marriage is done. The CO has to know this.

No, but they can give me options on what to do next. such as filing a caveat. Im feeling little bit of hostility here instead of finding my options guys.

A lawyer can not help change the mind of the CO at embassy

you need to do what many of us (dealing with high fraud countries ) do

make as many return visits as you can

and reapply

i went thru a 6 year process (K1 in 2009 with visa in July 2015)

it is hard and heartbreaking 

and you need only to go thru a long and lengthy process with return trips to prove to immigration,  the marriage is valid and you are sincere 

and No one is judging you here,   we say what the CO notices and what they preceive

stay with it and prove immigration wrong

my opinion only here / don't wait for the NOIR /NOID

just reapply as i fought our denial in Immigraiton Court of Appeals and won  (marriage bona fida)  but they said reapply/  so time was wasted

Trust me, hiring a lawyer will not do you any good. You will waste thousands of dollars and it won’t change anything in your case. Take the advice of people here, all currently in or have been through the CR-1 process. No two cases are the same, but the process is, as is the denial process. Just my opinion.

Sorry, there's a lot of hateful, mean-spirited people on this board unfortunately.

ok.. bottom line is she couldn't come because she turned 21. She did not get a visa to join her entire immediate family in the US!

 

Let's not get hung up on semantics..

Her sister filed for sibling over 21, which is f2B i believe. Not sure what happen to it, her sister told me they never heard anything from them after they filed in 2015. She try contacting USCIS to see if that caused this mess but they wont give her answer, USCIS told her to hire a lawyer.

The only information I have on your case is what you have posted here and reading that I would have come to the same conclusion of the CO.

 

There is a similar case running here, to be honest this one appears more clear cut.

 

You obviously have some issues to address, decisions to make, and they are inevitably personal. Not something anybody here can give you guidance on. 

 

Seems like a talk with her and her family about what they want to do would be in order.

I can imagine the frustration you are feeling right now, but I have not come across an ounce of hostility on this thread. There's been a lot of raw and honest answers and suggestions, however, which are probably translating to hostile for you because it's not what you want to hear.

 

Nobody here is calling your marriage fake or fraudulent. But based on the information you've shared, everyone is simply addressing what most likely led the CO to deny you. An arranged marriage, independently, may not be a major denial trigger - but, an arranged marriage plus someone who is unable to immigrate with the rest of their family alternatively to the same country the new spouse lives in.... that is most likely the big red flag. Not to mention how close in proximity the chain of events are.

 

This unfortunately happens. A marriage can be truly authentic and legitimate, but if something doesn't sit well or look right to the CO, that's all it takes to be denied. The feedback you have gotten here is sound advice, regardless of how you feel it's been presented.

I mean no, no one is ok living away from their family and especially spouse, but she understands that there is no other choice. She was crying after the interview, but she knows its temporarily, she will come to me no matter what its just question of when.

Category is F4

 

Nothing to hear about until sometime c2030 or so.

 

You do make it very much sound you are Plan B.

Get a lawyer and refile.

Her sister can only file for a sibling as a USC herself. Age doesn't matter for F4 category. Takes many many many years.

So she has an active sibling petition at USCIS, then while waiting for that (15+ years), she gets married to you and now has an active CR-1 petition.  It looks like her reason for marrying you was purely for immigration benefits and hence the reasons everyone here have given, and lots of good suggestions on how to move forward for you and your wife.

I am seeing no matter what we say the OP will not like it. When they don't hear the answers or quick solutions they want they tend to always get frustrated and then call us hostile. 

 

Good luck to the OP, but it isn't going to be a quick magical fix. Can search here on top right hand side in the search bar for things like "Arranged marriage" or "India arranged marriage" and find a lot of other threads from other posters. Those threads may contain more info you might find helpful or interested. I'm out.

What you are getting is the cold hard truth of how the US Embassy sees your case.   Telling you about this is not hostility, it's just not what you want to her.  You want to hear solutions.  We're trying to tell you what the problems are.  How can you find solutions without fully understanding the problems.  While you think the problem is a US Embassy in India that doesn't understand how arranged marriages work in India.  The US Embassy understands local cultures and customs.  We are trying to tell you what the real problems are.  We are trying to help you.  

 

 

This is what sucks about this forum. People throw stones then try to hide their hands and play innocent. I don't think OP was referring to either of you two, he was referring to that other member with the snarky "A lawyer ain't gonna change a denial into an approval" comment. How is that "helpful"? If you yourself, weren't being sarcastic or unduly harsh, then you shouldn't take offense to the OP feeling hostility. The pack mentality on Visa Journey sometimes is sickening, honestly. You see people commenting rudely but you defend them and say it's under the guise of "being real". Please.

If I was finanacially stable I would of have no problem living there until she gets visa but I take care of my parents and have to support my wife, and i can't do that living in india. I will try making visit as much as possible but it cant be for too long.

Is her LPR mother ok with her daughter by herself in India?
