Def not ecidence of visa fraud, but I'm questioning if the letters are real.

Why would he have letters SHE wrote her lover three years ago? They look immaculate and the letter to her is still inside of a legal pad. None have been folded, none show wear and tear and again... still inside a legal pad...

I discovered the letters in her Facebook messenger. Each of them wrote a letter, took a photo, and sent them on Facebook messenger. I only discovered these the following May 2016. I found these letters and numerous photos, text messages, and emails.  The fact that these are hand written, signed, and dated is why I feel they’re important. I have other unsigned notes. The fact that her visa had not been granted until June 2016 means she knew the marriage was fraudulent on 31 July 2015.

Side note. Who writes a full date on a hand written love letter?? 

You have to love really great evidence

You cannot deport anyone. 

See Boiler's post above for the contact details to report fraud.  Infidelity is not fraud. 

Would your son leave with his mom?  Would you send him to visit her oversea?

I’m aware the deportation is a government function, but fraudulent marriage for the purpose of immigration to America is a crime isn’t it?

We’d been married a year on 8 July 2015 living together in Georgia 🇬🇪. Most of the visa process was complete. I had to return to America because I needed to take a job that paid well enough for the AOS. I returned to the States 22 July 2015 and started my job on 30 July. I discovered some months later she’d been writing love letters to another guy. She hand wrote it with a header dating is 31 July 2015. I told her it was over.

But then I’d never see my citizen son again. 

So I decided to bring her anyway, albeit under duress...

One year, one month, and four days later we were separated. Final divorce 18 October 2018. 

How do I deport her?

I got scammed... two and a half years and $20k later I’m trying to find out how to report visa fraud and begin deportation. Can anybody advise?

You can use your wife's apartment as assets on the I-864. Get it evaluated and do a new I-864 but all your previous evidence and add the value of the apartment under assets and attach the official evaluation of it.

I did put her apartment on the I-864 but without any appraisal or official valuation statement. Could I bring one to my meeting as evedence?

I guess I need to clarify two things about my sistuation. My income meets their guidlines and I don't know anybody who would be a joint sponsor.

The poeople who would like to be a joint sponsor don't qualify and and the people who qualify are "uncomfortable" meaning they won't. My own sister and everybody else I've asked, begged, has said no including my boss.

Regarding the size of my family: There is me, my non-citizen wife, our two sons together ( one is US citizen CBA and US passport by DNA exam the other is my son by birth certificate who becomes a citizen once he arrives on US soil because of some child act of 2000.) I also have a daughter from a previous marriage.

The embassy replied to my Senator's office inquiry about her visa denial stating the I did not meet their income requirement of $25,200 for a family of three even though I am a family of five (as if they have not even reviewed my case thoroughly enough to know that.). I am going to the enbassy in Tbilisi, Georgia with bank statements and pay stubs showing payroll deposts of $28,745 from my employment that begun 30 July until present.

I don't have lots of options. I'm grateful that my CEO friend was able to offer me a job immediatley that meets immigration income requirements. What I'm asking you is what more can I bring or do to make my embassy appointment most effective.

I've been apart from my wife and kids since the end of last July and miss them terriblly, so I'm going to be with them from June 8-16. My embassy appointment is Monday June 13. Any advise you could give me, assuming my cicumstances, would be greatly appreciated.

I don't really know if he would or not but I suspect that he would not because I asked him a year ago and he said no, sugggesting I come back to work for him instead.

So you don't think the fact that I will have earned almost $29k when they said $25, 200 as their minimum will matter?

I don't own any property at this time. My wife has a flat in Georgia that is worth about 15-20,000 USD.

They, the embassy, has said that my income failed because I could not show $25,200 annual income for 2015. So I am using this amount that they gave to the Senator's office and plan to show them the $28,745.60 earned in ten months with pay stubs and bank deposits from payroll. Do you think it will work?

Thank you all for the information. The embassy did give her a 221(g) requesting a joint sponsor I-864 and tax returns from a joint sponsor. Unfortunately, I have nobody who is willing to be a joint sponsor for her. I contacted my Senator's office and an assistant there conacted the embassy on my behalf. The embassy replied to me briefly explaining that my review was completed and that I still did not qualify financially. But they also replied to the Senator's office and the assistant sent it to me. In that email they explain that my wife and I "have been fully informed of the income requirements by the consular section here in Tbilisi. For your reference, the 2016 required minimum income for a househld size of 3 is USD 25,200." So they are completely unaware that my household size is 5. I do not believe the case was reviewed at all. How could they be unaware of what my household size is? With this information, I have decided to go back to Geogia and have made an appointment at the embassy for my wife and me in June. I came back to the US on July 22nd and was employed on July 30th. On August 30 I was earning slightly over the minimum amount required foe a family of 5, $35,500. I negotiated my salary to be $36,000 for that sole reason. That tranlsates into $17.31 per hour. Plus I can earn quarterly sales bonuses and Christmas bonuses as well. When I recieive my payroll deposit on 27 May of this year, I will have earned $28,745.60 from employment as well as a large income tax refund of over 4k. The embassy already has a letter stating that my job is full time and permanent and that my salary is $36k annually, not $17.31 per hour. I will be bringing all paystubs and bank records to submit to them. Any feedback or advice on preparation or other material to bring would be appreciated and wish me luck.

I had worked for my current employer for 6 years from 2006 until 2012. When I left, I went back to school, worked for the the welfare office, and then had the opportunity to teach in Georgia. The CEO and I are friends, and I asked for a job to help me get my family here to the states. He provided a letter for the NVC stating "Permanent and Full-time" employment that I submitted to the NVC along with the other income docs needed. The letter stated that I was hired at $36,000.00 per year instead of an hourly rate. So I felt there was no way that my income could be distorted. In 2015, I only worked from Augst 30 until the end of the year so it only shows about $12,000.00 on my W-2. We were married 8 July, 2014. My application was accepted 21 October, 2014 by USCIS. I don't know what year they use for income but 2015 and 2016 are identical. I have filed 2015 taxes as head of household. But my total wages are still very low as my teaching job in Georgia only paid about $250 per month.

Does that mean i can wait until the end of my first year, at the end of August, to show I've earned the $36,000 or do I have to wait until the end of Feruary when W-2s come out?

I just got the worst news I could have ever heard... My wife was scheduled for her embassy interview March 30, 2016 in Tbilisi, Georgia. She arrived on time and prepared. The consular officer asked some questions and then told her that my income is not enough to qualify her for the CR1 visa. She was denied because she was at risk to become a 212(a)(40(A) Public Charge, ie freeloader... I pllanned and obtained a job that does meet and even exceeds the minimum income requirement for a family of 5. I sent the following letter in responce:

Greetings U.S. Embassy Georgia,

I wanted to let you know that I will be calling you on March 31, 2016 at
08:30 AM to ask some questions of the Consular Officer who interviewed my
wife, Maggie XXXXXXX, on March 30, 2016 for an Immigrant Visa.
Specifically, I would like to know how a determination of 212(a)(40(A)
Public Charge was determined when proof of income in excess of both the
2015 and 2016 HHS Poverty Guidelines for Affidavit of Support were
provided. After living in the Republic of Georgia for 16 months as a
volunteer English teacher working for Teach and Learn with Georgia I
returned to the United States on July 22, 2015 to secure employment
sufficient to sponsor my family to immigrate to America with me. I was
hired at XYZ Corporation permanently on August 30,
2015. I negotiated my salary specifically to meet the 2015 HHS Poverty
Guidelines for Affidavit of Support for a family of 5 at 125% of HHS
Poverty Guidelines which is $35,550. My negotiated salary is 36,000
annually proven by a letter from the Human Resources Manager Keith XXXX
of XYZ Corporation approved by Harry ZZZ who is the
President and CEO XYZ Corporation. This amount was
arrived at to be in excess of the minimum annual salary required for
approval. According to my pay stubs submitted to the National Visa Center
my earnings are calculated by dividing $36,000.00 by 2080 (52x40) hours
worked annually or $17.31 per hour at 40 hours per week. The Visa Refusal
Sheet provided to my wife specifically requests a joint sponsor. I am
willing as is XYZ Corporation to provide any information
you may need to substantiate my income including pay stubs, or human
resources payroll records. Please feel free to contact either Keith ZZZZ
or Harry ZZZZ with any need you may have. Please let me know if I can
provide any additional information to prove my income to you.

Help!!!! What do I do now!!! I have nobody who would open their bank accounts to the government if one of us fell on hard times. Can I fight this based on what I showed them? Is their a supervisor?

I just spoke to the NVC, Tara, who told me that status code Y means they have the original, it is being sent to the embassy, and that my wife does not need to bring it to the interview.

Hi,

Not to complicate this even further but status code Y has the same definition as status code O verbatum. They both say: "The NVC sent this form or documentto the US Embassy or Consulate"

In an earlier version, 2011, I saw a slight difference:

Y- "The required document has been received"

I found a "sample" letter online from 2009 defining Status Code Y as:

Y= The required document has been received and accepted

I'm still hoping one of you will be able to confirm that this code Y means that you do not have to present anything.

Thanks,

I also have a similar question. What does status "Y" mean? It is defined as: "Y- The NVC sent this form or document to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate" Do I have to bring something or not? Below is what I received. Both photograph and financial evidence were marked "Y". The definition is very unclear/ ambiguous.

Hi Shorena, We just got our Closed Case 2/23/2016. I found out quite by accident, just calling the NVC expecting no changes. Today I found out that she is scheduled for her interview the same day as your husband. Congrats to us both
