Hello everyone,

 

please im completely broken and confused since yesterday. My husband interview was in November 2017 after the interview he was asked to present additional documents. 2018 January the documents were submitted. We didn’t hear from the embassy until Monday my husband got a phone car to go to the embassy the next day which was yesterday. He got there and the consular told him that the marriage certificate was fake and his petition will be sent back to USCIS. 

 

Im wondering how is it possible to receive my documents in person from the ministry that offers the certificate and then consulate says it’s fake. I’m astonish and shocked. I am willing to prove this allegation beyond all reasonable doubt but the question here is how can I prove them wrong?

 

please anyone has an idea as to move forward please help me. 

 

Its a CR1 visa

interview: November 2017

RFE submitted: January 2018

May 21,2019 he was told that he is denied and documents will be returned to USCIS

Liberia has been known for years to produce forged marriage certificates, and the USCIS is known to have heavy scrutiny over documents from there.  In 2011 and most recently in 2018 police have arrested and charged the government staff with forging marriage documents.  It appears they suspect your marriage certificate is not authentic.  I believe there they require signatures from 2 witnesses and an officiant, and I suspect that is what they are questioning.

 

You may to find deeper proof your marriage certificate is authentic, and go to the local courthouse or marriage office to get a stamped decree that his marriage is registered in Liberia and the document is authentic.  If the Liberian civil courts say the certificate appears fraudulently given, you will need to remarry.

 

You may wish to contact an immigration lawyer that knows Liberian law, and can help you to the next step.  Also, contact the US embassy and get instructions on how to ensure to properly register and produce documents that prove your marriage.

Thank you so much for your reply and feedback. Today, I sent my husband to the Ministry where the certificate was given to us by requesting for a copy and our certificate was found with the registration number and stamped on it. I still shocked as to why they are lying just to deny my husband visa. I’m willing to prove my case beyond all reasonable doubt that it’s original and it’s not fake as they said. I contacted my senator office already to get involved. Sometimes they will deny you for no good reason. I’m ready to fight for my case no matter what.
