I get it. Just very disappointing and frustrating. Just will have to hope for the best. We haven’t done anything wrong. 

My husband had an interview January 11th 2021. No one came to visit him. We were not put on administrative process rhough I thought we might be

 I  am much older than my husband but we had all our documents in order, he was approved and got here January 22 -2021. Sorry you are going through all this.  Best of luck! There must have been something they thought was out of the ordinary. Can't imagine why they would go to such lengths.

Hello All

 

I feel very devastated right now. My fiance had his interview a three of months ago and was told to submit a missing document with his passport the second day. After three months of waiting, we just got informed that the petition was sent back to USCIS for reconsideration as the consular officer was not satisfied with the evidence between me and my fiance.  What is that even supposed to mean? What are we supposed to do now?

It means that something in the documents looked out of character. You could go to his country and marry and try the I-130 (spousal visa)

I hate to even bring this up, but its a concern.  I've read a lot on other boards and just research in general that the person in the U.S. who is sponsoring their future spouse is potentially liable for 125% of any government assistance that immigrant may go on in the event the relationship fails for a period of 10 years or until that person is a U.S. citizen which I believe takes around 5 years minimum.  Anyone have horror stories to share on this? What are the realistic chances of financial ruin for the sponsor if it doesn't work out? I just want to know the potential downside scenarios as we are getting close to the Embassy interview and then there's really no turning back as it's the final step to her approval.  I believe I've been misinformed by my attorney, which is why I bring this up.  The whole process has put a strain on our relationship and I'm taking a huge risk.

Never heard of the government doing that but you as a sponsor are 100% responsible for them. My husband is here and things have changed drastically.  I feel used but it's too late now to go back. No relationship at all really.

You are welcome.

 

I'll advice you to use Delta airline because alot is going on in Europe country regarding covid. If you transit from any Europe country before entry US you would likely be ask to present a covid result.

 

But Delta take you direct to Atlanta then domestic flight to your final destination.

Absolutely Delta takes you straight to Atlanta, and from there to your destination. I am in Alabama so it's a short flight from there.

I'm so sorry to hear this. All will be well. You are in my prayers. 

Thank you so much. It's very tough to watch and I am not handling it well without my husband. I know God is merciful and will see us through this difficult time.

People that had spousal interviews (Cr1/Ir1) that were canceled due to Covid should log into the CGI website because the embassy has opened the calendar for people to reschedule their interviews.

My husband has his interview on Monday Jan. 11th and it was not a reschedule. I pray everything goes smoothly so we can finally start our lives together. My sister is in the last stages of her life battling esophageal cancer.  They are saying she only has days. Please pray for us because her wish was to meet my husband in person. 🙏🙏🙏

if you're on CR1 Visa and you spouse a US Citizen then you are NOT affecting by the ban but if your spouse is a LPR then it affects you.

Yes, Trump extended the ban on work visas and green cards until the end of March I think. I wish everyone the very best.

Ok thanks

yes, there is a ban ending by 31st December.  We pray trump didn't extend it again

Isn't the ban that ends Dec. 31st for LPR, not CR1?  The ban on all the countries has not changed but one can still get a waiver and get a visa. I wish everyone the best. Just pray the countries don't lock down again.

If the ban tenure ends by 31st December according to the proclamation, it will have nothing to with Biden undoing what Trump did. Trump himself put an expiry to this one which expires in 3days time by Gods grace.

Hope you're right!

Yea, I know

I'm sure by December 31st the ban on ur side will be lifted too. But did contact them and what did they say. I'm very sure this new year will be a year of joy for all of us. We will share the testimony soon

Unfortunately Biden has already stated that it is going to take some time to undo what Trump has done as far as immigration goes.

I have been DQ since March. This long wait is really frustrating. 

My big question is, are those in F2A visa category, I mean spouses of LPR scheduled for interview? Or the immigrant Visa interviews going on in Lagos consulate, are for spouses of American citizens alone?

 

LPR won't likely happen until after the first of the year.

I believe from this new week, people would start getting scheduled for December interview. 

Lol, not us! Keep hoping though!🙏🙏

So why are they giving new interview dates for those who is DQ in March without rescheduling those canceled it’s just complicated I guess, let’s just keep an eye out then 

I think they are backlogged and taking intetviews for those that had interviews scheduled before the COVID-19 lockdown and were canceled.  Those people are getting interviews plus some òthers for first time interviews. Who knows.

They have started interviewing spousal visa applicants. There were some interviews on Monday and some are scheduled for next week. Those people were DQ in March. I am not sure why they scheduled them before the people who had their interviews canceled due to Covid shut down. They have also started working on people that were on AP prior to the lockdown.

That basically means next year for July DQ's. It may get worse before it gets better,  unfortunately, but still hoping.
