I believe that America is the number 1 in human rights violations. That's what I'm experiencing everyday!
I wished my wife was inclined to move to a better country.
If this is your attitude, perhaps you need to learn a western proverb, " it is easier to catch a fly with honey than vinegar"
Is America perfect? Far from it, but do not denigrate the country you CHOSE to live in because you have failed to realize your goals, redouble your efforts, soften your attitude and you will reach your goals. Just remember you chose to come here for whatever reasons you may have, the country did not solicit your immigration

Mohammad is a common name in America so not true it's because of your name.
And I don't agree with you about some special agenda against people from Iran. Maybe they need to do some more security check but they do that for all people from the middle east.
And there are people waiting from all over the world for a longer time also.
Have you send a request about your EAD?
And No I do not think it's a good idea to sue USCIS for anything.
You are here and that is great but remember it's not a right you have.

So you're saying that somewhere there's people who offer to call NVC for you for $9 so you won't have to deal with calling them yourself? Doesn't sounds safe. I wouldn't want some total stranger get my info. I have never called NVC myself but I would assume they do like USCIS and asks for some personal info to see if they are talking to the correct person. Info I would not like to give a stranger. And even if NVC don't ask that, I would still not feel comfortable with letting a complete stranger have anything to do with my immigration process. So many scammers are targeting immigrants.

Don't send them all 1500 pages, for heaven's sake. Pick out a few that span the length of your relationship. They want to see things like photos together, photos with family, plane ticket receipts, trips taken together, that kind of stuff. If you have mobile phone records that show calls back and forth, good. They'll want proof that you've actually met in person in the last 2 years.

Reading your post has made both me and my husband very sad. We are sorry you and your fiance are having such a difficult time right now with the K1 process. My husband tells me to say to you and your fiance to be patient and don't give up. It's just a process...a very long process and do NOT give up hope. I advise you keep on it and reapply and don't give up hope. As for the interview,...my husband (fiance at the time) had a difficult time too but not as difficult as your fiance from what I read. Don't let these negative thoughts and emotions overwhelm you and keep a positive mind. That was one thing my husband has taught me and it really does help your well being. Don't dwell on the negative as it will eat you alive. Best wishes and I wish the best for you and your fiance.

Sarak_7272: "The CO would ask him many times how we could be in love if he couldn't speak English and I was just learning Persian??? (I too have a knack for communicating with people that speak poor or even no English and know 2 other foreign languages)".
OMG, CO said exactly same thing!!!! My fiancé was refused a translator as well. CO made my fiancé very nervous at the beginning, but luckily he managed and CO changed his attitude towards the end. We went through hell with 4.5 mos in AP, I even traveled to Armenia to meet my fiancé again while waiting in AP only to came back to USA to find out his visa was approved just few days after our returns. So he had to go there again to pick it up. The whole process took almost 1.5 years to bring him here, but well worth it. So advise to those who wait, never give up!

You're welcome Sirwan. I think you have the right idea to show them what true love can do. I completely understand it makes you so sad that your love lives so far away. My husband and I were in the same situation and know very well. You have every right to be dramatic. I know I was very dramatic too when we had this long wait. I'll leave you with one of my favorite quotes: When the going gets tough, the tough gets going
Best wishes and the best of luck. Remember, to keep your fiance hopeful and happy too during this tough time. Tell her not to dwell on negative thoughts as this has no means to an end.

Pishi_Pishi,
Your story is almost the exact same as me and my (at the time) fiance! I was reading your story and was thinking I wrote it. lol My fiance (at the time) and I met in Yerevan 3 times, no kids, but I have been married once before, a slight age difference and I came to the interview & waited outside. I didn't realize there was only one interviewer for Iranians for K1 in Yerevan so he must have had the same CO. He started to speak Persian to my (then fiance) then switched to English and was speaking very fast and my fiance (at the time) was already nervous! They had to bring in a translator and the two of them would whisper things together, look at him and laugh. The CO would ask him many times how we could be in love if he couldn't speak English and I was just learning Persian??? (I too have a knack for communicating with people that speak poor or even no English and know 2 other foreign languages). He explained and explained and explained...finally he let up and became a bit more calm with the questions. My fiance and I know that this is his job, though. He told him to come back two days that he got his visa but when we came the visa was not ready and the website said our case was in A.P.! I was furious as they had his passport still and couldn't afford to stay in Yerevan for how many weeks. He was told to come back in 4 days and it should be ready, but we were so nervous as the website said our case was in A.P. I had to fly home and he had to stay 3 days alone in Yerevan to get his passport with Visa (we were praying). The last day together in Yerevan we made the most of it and put everything in God's hands. We let go of our negative emotions and enjoyed each other's company at Sevan Lake and knew that no matter what, no man could come between us and our Love.
The common theme here is Love and Hope. Never give up and remember to think logically too. The C.O. is only doing his job and it is common treatment so it's nothing personal. It's only his job. Love will find its way. Good Luck and best wishes to you Pishi_Pishi and Sirwan. You have gone this far so don't give up.

Thank you and your husband so much Sarak_7272 I rally appreciate your sympathy. Im doing my best here to be with my fiance, no matter where at! but since we have done so many paperworks and paid for all the fees, flight tickets and stuff we dont wanna just leave it like this and give up! plus if we do they might think that they were right! we are gonna show them what a true love can do, I will fight for until I everything is fixed! And I will do anything I mean ANYTHING to make this right..The only thing that makes me sad is seeing that my love lives far away from me..I dont wanna be so dramatic but we are honestly in love with each other, and thats all matters.

Hi,
We had exactly the same experience. My Fiance is an Iranian man and our interview was in yerevan. We have a big age difference ( me the older woman) and the interviewing officer was a bit rude about that. He even said my fiancé's sister was paying me to marry him, which is insane. We had lots of proof ( i thought) but clearly not enough. We had only met once before filing, which may have worked against us as well. They are not supposed to make a decision based upon age difference but I think its impossible for them to keep an open mind really with so much fraud.
From what I have read, theres nothing more to do. I emailed the embassy asking them to reconsider but I am not expected them to say "okay".
We are devastated but not done in. Many couples reapply and are approved so you have that option. We might do that .Or marry ad then file as a spouse. We are considering that as well.
So sorry...I know exactly how you feel. We are so incredibly sad.
Let me know what you decide to do and DONT give up!!!

It is not a right to bring a spouse or a fiancee to the USA. It's a privilege.

I joined my wife in Ankara for the interview. I had all of the paperwork with me, she only needed to bring her passport and her Shanasnameh (birth certificate). I brought all the information I sent with the K-1 Application, everything I sent to the Embassy and additional documentation from that point to the interview. I was not allowed to enter the embassy, my wife said that at the intake, someone went though all of the information she brought with her and selected a sample of the information and told my wife only to bring this to the interview. This included all the pictures and travel records, but only a few of the email phone records. The interview was mostly based off of the pictures with my wife describing our travels together, Istanbul and Dubai. The only problem was that since my wife had blank pages on the shanasnameh, she did not translate those pages, like marriage and children. We needed to go get these translated that day and return to the embassy the next day with the complete translation. This cost an additional $70. I think my wife had the shanasnemeh translated originally in Iran for less than $20. If you or your fiance have any questions, please let me know, I am glad to help. The whole process was such an experience.

I really do not want to go into this right now. Im sorry if I have offended anyone. Now can I please get responses that might help me a little? Thanks.

You can click the report link at the lower right of all posts if you wish to report them for something. However, I do not see that the post you dislike was worse than you lashing out at those responding to you by calling them stupid.

Welcome and good luck. This site is a wealth of information and plenty of great Houstonians, too. Most people here will tell you that you don't need a lawyer.
