    Calicolom got a reaction from Jason and May in Visa K 1 penalty for 1 year   
    My neighbor in Colombia where I live part time, just lost $3000.00 she payed, from an colombian attorney. When she complained about not getting a US visa, the lawyer gave her back $1500.00. Good business for not doing anything.

    Calicolom reacted to powerpuff in Tourist Visa Denied - Help   
    Just for the record, COs are not required to look at any documents. They mostly make the decision off of DS-160 and they usually make the decision before the person even comes for the interview.
     
    I think his chances of approval are low as his circumstances did not change, I really doubt fiancés letter will do anything. The two factors that contributed to the denial, in my view both from personal experience and being on the forum over the years, are: a) that your husband is paying for the trip - meaning your BIL doesn’t have sufficient finances to fund the trip, even though it sounds like his job should allow him to and b) that your husband adjusted from a non-immigrant visa (I’m assuming tourist but correct me if I’m wrong) which consular officer really really do not like. Even if it wasn’t B2, they generally really do not like when people adjust from a non-immigrant visas. A friend of mine’s mother was denied B2 when they found out her daughter (my friend) adjusted status from F1 (she did a change of status form B2 to F1) The COs face literally visibly changed and he promptly denied the visa.
     
    My suggestion? Meet in a third country. My said friend had to meet in DR to see her mother after not seeing her for 7 years. 
     
    Of course he’s free to reapply. But personally, I don’t see the chances being very high. It’s your/his decision.

    I think to many people forget, most paperwork is looked over by local staff. This means by local people hired by the embassy. They know every trick and costume of the local people.

    You will get a stamp, in your passport, this tells you how long you can stay. Overstay, no more visa. Seems some people never travelled.

    I know a case where the Guy is waiting 4 years. He does not want to inquire, because he has Immigration fraud, in his background. He thinks If he make a inquiry, they may just take his green card.

    I can't speak to the green paper or about Vietnam specifically, but yes the officers do review the cases beforehand and likely already have an idea on whether or not they are going to approve it. It makes sense since everything was submitted beforehand. It was clear our officer knew all about our case. The interview itself wasn't that long--just a few minutes,
