Hey...It is easy to be freaking out with this process. My husband was denied June 2015 at our interview. The "official letter" took 16 months to receive and know the exact reasons the Consular had issues about our "bonafide marriage". The 1st thing mentioned was our age difference. I was given the chance to send more evidence, which I did, and we just received a I-797C Notice of Action in the mail. We are waiting to hear from the Vermont Service Center Department of State about what my husband will have to do next. We are not sure if he will go to another interview or will be given his visa. I am trying to find out about this I-797C NOA. This was my 3rd marriage but nothing was mentioned concerning my 2 previous marriages...only had to send the marriage and divorce papers. My husband and I have been almost 3 years now with our visa journey. I was told by a U.S. Senator's office personnel back in 2013 that this process was a very lengthy process and it has tried my patience but I am "patiently" waiting for this last leg of our long journey to come to our completion with this so we can start our new USA life together. Do not lose heart !!! I don't know what your "faith" is but I have had to take my mind back to a scripture that tells me that a spirit of fear ( which causes us to freak out) does not come from "above". When you are experiencing that overwhelming fear of all the "what if's", just know it is fear based. This is not a fast process and being denied is disheartening....but it has been a time for us to develop a much deeper love between my husband and I. We lift each other up and go through these setbacks together and our relationship is stronger for this time. I will be praying for your process and you. It will all work out.
