Zero time spent together in person during a ten year marriage would strongly suggest they are not.

That’s not really any of our business to say. I agree with the advice that this will be difficult, but there’s no use in time spent here telling OP that his marriage isn’t real, and to be honest it’s uncharitable at best.

 

They need to spend more time together, and this is going to be difficult. If they want to do it, they should consult professional help. Value judgments on their relationship aren’t helpful.

They are, if they make them realise that that's exactly how an immigration officer will see it as well, particularly in a high fraud consulate like Islamabad. So now they know they need to visit each other as regularly as work and finances will allow, and build a much stronger picture of a marriage for their case. Otherwise they're just heading for another denial. 

 

Personally I don't see what value a lawyer would add now, that money would be far better spent on time together. And then maybe a lawyer consult further down the line when they are ready to apply again.

They have a difficult situation and a lawyer likely has seen the equivalent or more difficult. They’ll be paying for unbiased advice that has recent experience dealing with the immigration system in difficult cases. Most reputable lawyers offer consultations and many don’t take cases they don’t think they have a decent chance of bringing about a positive outcome. It looks like OP had issues structuring their presentation of the evidence last time — that’s also something a good lawyer can help with.

To be honest, I think a lot of trips with the intent of accumulating in-person time together with the goal of accumulating evidence is a waste of money if a lawyer reviews the case and doesn’t think even that would help because of the case history.
 

At that point they should consider other options like the wife moving there or moving to a third-country. Speaking personally, as the USC spouse, I’d prefer to be told there’s zero chance of a positive outcome by a professional who has worked in the field before making either of those choices because of perceived difficulties with the visa.

 

On the overall point, it’s ultimately not our choice how OP and his wife decide to proceed. I think he’s received good advice here, and should be able to weigh it when deciding what they want to do.

OP 

your marriage was in 2015 and USC did the I 130 for spouse and u say u did send in the proof of income (late, yes , but only delays a case- not reason to deny it)

Aferwhich the case was returned to the US office -this will be the original USCIS office that did the petition work after NVC recieto ves it to be sent on

 

The USC , then has the opportunity to resond to the NOIR or NOID , she would have gotten 

she can resond with strong real evidence to dispute the issue(s) raised by the CO/ she is even given the chance to file an appeal.

 

It is not VJ members who decided the marriage was no bona fide/ it was the CO and embassy / as if they thought marriage was bona fide , u would have been issued a visa

 

It would be in the interest of your relationship for your wife to join us here 

And yes, she can go to an attorney and there are many who say they can help but all lawyers do is fill out the petition (from the documents USC provides) and mail this in .  they are not Perry Manson lawyers who have PI's to get evidence of the behalf of a cliam.  

 

And my USC wife and i do know how high fraud country embassy react and what they look at as it took us over 5 years to get my visa 

USC and u must be proactive throughout the entire process and that is lacking in your case/ she does need to spend quality time to know u well

 

and u 2 must speak honestly and discuss why she didn't respond to the NOIR/NOID
