If the ticket has been bought already, it's nonrefundable and can't be saved.
He can as well travel with intent to marry.

I totally disagree the excuse that Nigerians are not affectionate by culture etc.
the husband stopped being affectionate, clearly meaning he was affectionate before.
while back home I saw locals showing affection to their foreign partners in public, so if this local reaches the US and now says its not culturally my thing, he should be slapped with a live chicken.
do u really believe if this happened while they back home in Ng, this man would have left home saying my US wife is demanding for too much sex/affection?
I agree where we from affection isn't like in the US but don't fake it, reach US then treat partner like #######.

i got here less than a month ago. my wife told me how others cautioned her about bringing me here, and i didn't understand, it didn't make sense, i was annoyed some of the time.
i spoke to be a friend who's here in the usa but we schooled together back in my home country, and he was telling me what my then fiancee did for me rarely happens these days because people especially from so called "high risk" countries want to get to the usa by hook or crook.
he told me he even knows guys who had pregnant american partners, but these US partners still refused to file for them to immigrate to the usa.
i didn't understand why it should be that way, thus the risk of getting abandonned.
for me, two people who want to spend the future together in this situation (long distance) should have one relocate to the other's country, for love and happiness, finish.
also i notice when the foreigner comes here and socialises with people from his/her home country, they most atimes get advised wrongly about leaving their partners.
i feel sorry for what happened to you, in my opinion u were used for GC, i think u should do what u can so he cannot remove conditions on the GC.

I also want to add that hand written letters and postcards hold more weight as evidence to the CO than chatand email, prospective interviewees should gather some to add. I had been reading on vj and seeing interviewees asked to bring more evidence, so once 'I saw other's beard on fire I put a bucket of water beside mine' -gh proverb.
I sent postcard whenever I could, I suggest once every 3 weeks.
btw pascale, I didn't solely send those postcards for CO, I did because I really wanted to and I knew they'd make u do the smile.

I personally don't think adding receipts for money wired is good idea.
in case u didn't, give all your evidence to the first person inside who asks for your documents .
u said u couldnt answer all questions, discuss your history etc to equip yourself with any info that may be asked of.
when u walk to interview together and your partner is asked to sit, show some affection before he leaves, like a peg or short kiss, let the love show in your smile to each other and your faces. just the way your friends see u together and see u r in love. it should be like something u do all the time.
very important, be confident and look CO in face. when u answer questions, sound like u know what u talking about, not tutupaapasu, I can imagine how u were sounding and answering questions since u said u couldn't hear him well and was contradicting yourself . not convincing for CO kraa.
also, before interview starts, ask CO if he can give u a minute to say something, if he says OK/yes, tell him how u and your mean to each other, how shattered u have been since your first interview. remember u have about 40sec because he'll likely cut u off.
then u proceed to questioning.
if u don't hear what he's saying, politely ask him to repeat and speak clearly, don't assume u heard him. it may go against u, u might not be answering his question if u thought u heard isn't what he said.
the B2 denial isn't an issue, I was denied B2 twice too.
get the pictures you talked about, write the month and year, place and people in it behind it.
any pictures any friend or relative has, get them, print and write the info behind. u said u only talk on phone so u need any form of evidence u can think of. for me, knowing I was in this process, I was making evidence over the period.
do fast and pray for God's favor, I wish u the best.

1. Im male
2. Sorry some of your letters didnt arrive
3. Sorry things didn't work out great for you
4. I agree OP should submit anything she didn't submit already as i said in an earlier post
5. You said "no one writes letters", u didn't say "not many ..."
5. I wasn't telling u how to conduct your romantic life, u are matured and married, i was saying tech is overshadowing the originals.
6. Request granted, go on break ... its break time wai

these are usually the questions
1.what are u going to do
2. what do u do for a living
3. how much do u earn
4. do u have travel experience, if yes where?
5. how long do u intend to stay in the usa
6. who's paying for your trip
7. are u married? u have kids?
a lot of people focus so much on proving they need to go to the usa, instead of proving they need to return.
the only time your going is more important than proving to return is when u are invited by an organization under the US government (they need u) or one closely related.
a friend was invited by the office of the president(US) for an award, there's no way he cud be denied.
i suggest before trying again, your mom acquire travel experience to a good country, she can transit an another country when returning to make it look better, and at the interview the focus should be on her mom not US.
btw, ive been denied tourist visa twice.

i agree the OP shudnt be attacked, benefit of the doubt be given, adjusting status is an option for those who came without the intention to stay, and that's not abuse.

You have a protected status with the adjustment pending.Acceptance of your documents right now does not mean you will get a green card.
You lied to get your student visa. You immediately abused it by never going to school and immediately marrying and adjusting your status. You committed fraud.
The fraud will affect your case.
The US can deny you a green card and deport you for committing immigration fraud.
-----
You are eligible to apply to adjust your status base in marriage to a US citizen.
Whether you get a green card will be determined by USCIS. If it is determined that you committed fraud with the F-1 student visa to enter the US, you will be denied a green card and be deported.

u shouldn't redo it, i dont know why others are asking u to, u didnt lie on the forms, at the point filing that was the case, people do lose their jobs, they dont refile. for example when filing it says u must have met within 2 years AT THE POINT OF FILING. it's at the point of filing.
if u have not shipped out your application, then u need to redo it, but if u already have it waiting its adjudication, i dont even think u can refile, the one already sent needs to be retracted or nullified or allowed to expire.
what u need to do now is get another job by the time of the interview, even as a waiter, then u get a co-sponsor.
u can google for a free phone call consultation with an immigration lawyer and ask this, there are a lot online.
