If it was something specific like that why wouldn't they just tell us that was all that was missing? Especially if we asked?

We hired an attorney..this is clearly unacceptable....if necessary I will go to our congressman...

We had all necessary docs there is NO reason my fiance should have been denied his visa...unbelievable...

We received the same form i think... but the consul didn't even sign it!

No one signed his either.....

Same thing pretty much just happened to my fiance in Napoli. We would have NEVER done the Fiance Visa if we knew this would happen. I have a job and make above what is necessary to support him but I only have been working for a few months as I was living the year before that with my fiance in Italy. Our joint sponsor also make more than double the amount of the 125 percent above poverty level. We are still pursuing it and I am going to my Congressman and if necessary we will hire an attorney. It is very deceiving and I am so very disappointed in this system. How do they expect me to now leave my new job and go to Italy, get married, return and wait the 1 to 2 year wait for the spousal Visa???? There has to be a better solution!!!

Hi sorry for the delay. I am the petitioner who will make an estimated 24K-26K a year. I included a letter from the company I work for on company letter head paper signed by the manager. It stated that my position was permanent and full time including my earnings per week. I also included 2 recent pay stubs. (I also have a small part time personal assistant job as well), however because I had only worked a few months here in the US and not a full calender year we in addition provided a joint sponsor. He has 2 children and his wife works part time. So total including my fiance that would be 5 people. The sponsor is a US citizen. He has worked at his company for 5 years. His gross adjusted income for 2011 was 65K. We submitted 1040s and w2s from 2010 and 2011. A recent pay stub. We also included a copy of his US passport and all necessary documentation- My fiance is in the military in Italy and has been so for 11 years. He has supported himself for more than 11 years and has never depended on anyone other than himself for support. I have contacted my local congressman and am considering hiring an attorney. We do not have much money but if we have to resort to the attorney then we will do so. I hope someone can help me understand this refusal. Or give some suggestions before we hire an attorney. By the way, the refusal was for public charge and it was on a white sheet of paper. Thanks for any help or guidance you can send our way!!

My fiance is an Italian citizen and he had his interview today in Naples. He was not denied but given a white slip and they said he has 90 days to rectify the situation before denial- He told me that they said he would be a burden to the US government with the financial documentation we had provided. I lived with my fiance in Italy all of last year and was supported by my fiance while in Italy . I returned to the USA in August 2012 and found a job in September. My pay at the time was above the 125 percent of poverty level. I was offered another position the next month with a different company and took that job as the pay was better and had larger commissions. I make $500 per week gross at my new job. I included three pay stubs and a letter from the company stating my salary and that I was indeed a full time permanent employee. I also included a personal assistant job that I have that pays $200 a month with a letter from the person I work for stating the amount I make and that this position is also permanent. Total per year is $26,400. We also have a joint sponsor who has been employed with his company for 5 years and makes $60,000 plus per year,has a 401K, and real estate owned with his wife. He has two children and his wife works part time. We had all documents required from 2 years back 1040s, W2s, bank statements from 6 months back,and 2 recent pay stubs. My fiance also has his own home, he does not rent or live with his parents. How is it possible that my fiance was denied a Visa with this amount of money and the joint sponsors job stability? I am so upset as they told my fiance in other words,he needs a big sponsor who makes a lot of money in order for him to get his Visa. We tried to do everything right as the government would want us to and did not do the usual, get a tourist Visa and marry in the USA and apply for a spousal Visa. Now I wish i listened to those who warned me of this fiance Visa. Before getting an attorney I wanted to hear from people on this forum. Can anyone advise us on this devastating situation. Many thanks!!
