A little more patients kids-We are next baby

Ok. I am in the same boat as you as I cannot add my wife to any of my financial things because they all want a social security number. We tried applying for that, but because her i94 card expired, they denied her application. I also will not be able to add her to anything, but here is what you should do.

First, did you tell your friends and family about the wedding? If so, get it in writing from them, and why they could not attend, if you invited them.

Second, affidavits from friends and family that know about your relationship, and that know you live together.

Third, even though you did not add your husband on the lease, I hope you did tell your landlord who he is and that he is living with you, if so, get a letter from him for the same.

Fourth, if your husband has a social security number, there should not be any reason why he should not be on your bank account, if it is still difficult to add him, for whatever reason, add him to your credit card accounts.

Eighty seven days are plenty, but make a list first, and then cross them off. At this time, your best bet is to get as many affidavits as you can to vouch for your relationship, ie that is what we will have to do.

If he doesn't have a ssn and you already applied, you should have a letter of denial stating why, and you may also submit that.

Good luck.

This is correct. you have to produce more paperwork! add him on the lease! get some neighbors write some affidavits saying that he lives there, good guy... notarize them. Get the bills, parent write affidavits. write a nice letter explaining that you love him, respect the law and bla bla bla. I also noticed that you had 2 previous RFE.(this shows that you are not careful when it comes to immigration...)

You might want to send it under an immigration lawyer to make your case stronger.

I think that given 1) you had previously petitioned for someone else, and 2) the age between your fiance's kids and the two of you meeting is not that far apart (meaning he had a child and then quickly got into a relationship with you) are red flags. Are these reasons to outright deny the visa? Absolutely not. Are they reasons to scrutinze for fraud more closely? Absolutely. Since you weren't told what inconsistencies there were in the answers it is impossible to know exactly which question it was that they feel is inconsistent. Regarding the questions themselves... while personal in nature, I think the questions are very fair. Maybe the last time you had sex is irrelevant, but the first time you had sex, C-section or natural birth, who called who on new years eve, do you use birth control in the US, etc... are all very fair questions in my opinion especially for a couple that they want to scrutinze because of the 2 red flags from the get-go that I mentioned above. Ultimately, they proved what they needed to prove.... that perhaps there is fraud because one or the other doesn't know the intimate details of the relationship. Based on that reason alone, there is no reason for them to even look at pictures, phone logs, etc. It doesn't mean that your fiance won't get a visa. It simply means now you are going to have to jump through a lot of hoops to get it. It sucks, but the red flags were there so the CO did their job and asked intimate questions to prove the relationship and unfortunately you guys didn't pass. Don't give up hope. Just be more prepared next time around.

This is the best answer so far!! If I was interviewing you, based on #1 and #2, I will raise the red flag. Remember, they don't know you they only go with your words and few paperwork submitted to them... I know that you are for real but many did this for business. Sorry you are a victim. If I were you I will continue with my lover and try to have another interview maybe a year from now. I will be more prepared next time. (many people are overconfident when they go for interviews: don't be!)

received RFE today....its so strange because the list of documents they listed which was not enough does not include all docs i sent.

example: submitted 2 year tax forms...but rfe does not mention receiving tax forms...

anyone with experience on this...any help would be greatly appreciated...

rfe date 8/4/11 and uscis.gov case status still shows inital review....

Just give them what they want. This time get more documents: Insurance, bills, pictures, mortgage papers, bank statements, you can also add some affidavits from people knowing you and wife... be very generous, do not send 2 documents only. If I were you, I will send more tax returns...

If you marriage is legit... do not have to worry.

Some people are selected randomly.

If not legit; time to look for a super-good lawyer.

Please add me to the list.
