African Zealot

Your fiancée made two visits of 5.5 months within a year and had information about working on her phone but the phone belonged to her auntie? That’s a very interesting coincidence and no immigration officer is going to buy that story going forward.
 
Luckily the denied entry and withdrawal of visitors visa shouldn’t affect the immigrant visa petition.

I just found out that Michael arrived in the USA 🇺🇸 and within two weeks has bolted from Angela claiming abuse.

This is horrible! Some people walk this world masquerading as human beings but in reality just demons from the pit of hell clothed in human garb.

Blow $10k on eye surgery not covered by insurance when cheaper options available with insurance. A monster!
 
My sympathies, you will survive and thrive.

There’s absolutely nothing strange or interesting about that. Contrary to the myth out there, many marriages happen for a reason other than love.
 
For example there are many people who wouldn’t marry their spouse if they are one eyed, had no legs, don’t have a college degree, have poor credit, are HIV+, etc. etc. Another reason many people get married, particularly in poorer economies is economic reasons. People all over the world from antiquity have married for economic reasons.
 
Many of my Indian classmates had arranged marriages to partners they didn’t know until a week or two before the marriage. Very obviously love was not the main factor and yet most of those marriages survived and thrived to the end.
 
Westerners may find that strange or claim to find it strange, however there’s nothing strange about it and to me it’s just hypocrisy or lack of understanding how things work in this world.
 
Economic opportunity happens to be one reason and it’s as legitimate as the next. It’s nobody’s business except the two people involved if the precipitating reason for the “love” is economic opportunity. 
 
My $0.02.
 
 

Based on the little I’ve read some of which is incoherent and lacking a clear timeline, your chances are slim and none at this time and Slim is currently out of town for an extended period.
 
You crossed the border illegally and now having procured new citizenship want to reenter the USA.
 
Nyet!

Don’t just give up. Step away from immigration issues for a couple weeks and decompress, after that and with a clear head reevaluate. Setup a framework to use in making the decision whether to continue or not.
 
Sometimes a fight to the bitter end is worth it. Other times although it sounds valorous, it’s not worth it. You alone can decide after looking at the facts and options. On the bright side your worst case scenario of back to the UK is better than most e.g. Somalia, Afghanistan etc. 
 
Best.

There are absolutely no red flags I see with a financially comfortable retired 60 year old man wanting to visit his child and grandchildren in the USA 🇺🇸. People sometimes like to manufacture flags even when they don’t exist to justify consular officers sometimes asinine decisions.
 
I have family and friends who fit his profile who are less “financially comfortable” who routinely obtain visas to visit me here, and my country is even less affluent than Brazil.
 
I keep saying for people coming from developing countries/emerging economies, US visa interviews have a degree of “luck”. Brazil has an adjusted refusal rate of around 15% versus 27% for my original country, Ghana.
 
He should reapply with the same reasons (no need to manufacture the Disney excuse) and he will probably be successful unless there’s something we don’t know. It’s only $185.

You seem to be in the business of finding excuses and explanations why things should be the way you want. Unfortunately immigration doesn’t work that way.
 
Your wife can provide proof of domicile, e.g getting on a plane and returning to the USA 🇺🇸 and providing documents, otherwise if as you say “getting on a plane is not possible, we will go together”, then go ahead and issue yourself since it appears you have that authority and go together.

Hello forum.

My name is Matthew. I am from North California. I have lived a few places in California but settled back up North where I grew up.

I am soon going to hire some professional help to aid with a visa.
I have been talking with my fiance Judith for over a year.
We applied for a tourist visa for her to meet me back in July but she was reject.
So I made a trip from California (SFO) to Zambia and we met November 20, 2023.
I stayed for 2 weeks; it was a great experience and we're certainly very happy to have been together and met or exceeded our expectations of each other.

You were out for two years? Is your permanent residency even still valid? Personally I wouldn’t rock the boat and would wait to file under the five year rule.

It doesn't make any sense. Tax return for 2023 ia independent from tax returns from previous years. I would've included everything I had / could get and brought 2023 tax return to the interview. It's not the end of the world, but could result in unnecessary RFE and delay.
 
You're right, employment history is asked in part 8.
 
I just still don't understand how anybody can file N-400 and the very next day remember something is missing. To me it just means, it was filed in a rush without preparation.
 
You can prepare an errata sheet (ask lawyer about it) and update your application at N-400 interview. This, along with missing tax returns is decreasing the chance of instant approval and same day oath.
