No, this doesn't help...

 

What does "10 years+" mean? How old are you? How old is she?

How much money has she sent; what was the approximate amount?

What was the exact wording of the RFE?

 

If you are going to be this vague and evasive in your immigration interviews, you will have major problems.

 

Good luck.

I'll never be vague with my immigration officer because I'm going to provide evidences printed in papers as regarding finances that you've been so keen about . So far, the information I provided is enough for you to make a suggestion

People would help if you would give the background information that they ask for. We are not asking all this information just to be nosy, but these things matter.

 

How old are you? How old is she? How much money has she sent you? How much time have you spent together? How did you meet? What EXACTLY was requested in the RFE? What EXACTLY did you send as a response?

 

People here can't help you if you are not willing to provide this information and just get defensive when asked these questions.

Dear Marieke H, if you go back to the beginning, you will spot where I said she's 10 years+ older. She's helped with my rent and money for support anytime she has something to spare. We met online. I also mentioned that they requested for additional evidences which I ended up sending pictures, chat logs, call logs, notary letters from parent (cos father is deceased) sibling, and also my best friend, flight details, hotel reservations. The asked for more evidence which only I can provide if I have been living in the United States physically with my wife but could not provide more because we haven't been living physically in the united States. I hope that helps?

I totally agree with you..This is why I really don't comment much here, but browse to seek the answers that I am looking for. We know Nigeria is not the only fraudulent country because there are plenty, but I would have to agree that fraud definitely runs rampant there. Don't let that be an issue for you...Just get the answers you need and focus on the journey at hand..Many blessings to you and your wife..

Thank you so much. God bless you and your family. Stay safe!

Honestly for them to want to interview the U.S. citizen is rare..I don't want to assume, but there has to be more..I know you don't like all the questions, but in this group you have to be truthful and straightforward to get the answers you are looking for..What needs or should happen is that your significant other should make an account with VJ and ask the questions so that way it is more clear for the both of you. As the one gentleman stated, may need to get a lawyer involve.

I've been answering questions. I guess the trigger word is 'fraud' and how everyone believes when it comes from Nigeria, it has to be fraud. My wife will answer all questions from immigration in all honesty on the scheduled date. We have nothing to hide. Because it's rare was why I wanted more insight thinking people would help. Thank you so much for your response

Usually petitioner interviews are about the petitioner's past related to immigration in some way.  Perhaps she as petitioned somebody else in the past.  You mention an attorney.  Best your wife contact her attorney about these matters, so all can be discussed in confidence.  Your vague answers don't help us help you, but your wife can be fully open with her attorney, in confidence.

Thank you so much for your response

I married on my second visit to Nigeria and I am 10 years older than my spouse, so that shouldn't be an issue..However, there maybe something on yours or her background is what is delaying an interview..You stated you did receive an RFE, was that taken care of? 

Yes the RFE was taken care of. They only wanted additional evidence and it was submitted

Because you mentioned them.

That she's older than I am? It's not an issue. Age has nothing to do with someone you have deep connection with. I was looking for someone who knows what she wants in a relationship and I found her. Age has no factor

Well something is really wrong for a petition to be in RFE status over a year and now the petitioner is being brought in. They only do this when they suspect fraud.
What shall your wife do take all updated evidence of trips since she filed and communications and visits taking her passport to show visa stamps.

Also you wife may be asked to speak to the money sent and how much and why? Cool for men to send to women but women normally don;t support men. Remember it's about how it looks not ho valid the reasoning is. You have to think like total stranger looking at your evidence and not yourself.

Did you submit pictures with your parents? 10+years can be a problem just depends.
Since this is at the USCIS level it's surprising. I know what the embassy wants to see but you are stuck at USCIS. Since before COVID and the Nigerian Ban about the fake documents and such I have to ask have you ever in life

1. applied for a visitor visa, student visa or any other kind of visa? 
2. Have you been married before white wedding, traditional or registry?

3. Do you have children?

 

Big age gaps doesn't have to be an issue if you can show you are compatible and spend time together. I am 26 years older than my Nigerian husband but I also went there and stayed during the petition process and lived until he got Visa.

 

 

It's wrong to think women shouldn't support men. She's my wife and she has the right to support me. It's a marriage and we're supposed to have each other's back through thick and thin and she did just that. For better for worse is the deal. With all said, God knows it's genuine and I'm sure God has our back. Thank you for your response

Seems like you are aware of some of the issues.

How do you mean?

What's the age difference?

Has she been transferring money to you?

Any previous divorce? (either on your part or her part)

What specifically was the RFE for? And what did you send?

The age difference is 10 years + and yes she's been sending money. She's been divorced before. The RFE was for additional evidence because our lawyer didn't send everything at once. I sent notary letters from people who attended the marriage, her flight, hotel reservations, more pictures

Just now, ra0010 said:

Any other previous visa applications on your part?

No. I've never attempted any visa application before

What is "a little age difference"?  How much time have you actually spent together?  Marry on first visit?  Nigeria is a high fraud country.  Different religions?  It is difficult to know exactly what the issue is.  

We married on her second visit and we've spent quality time together. We're both Christian

Normally it would be related to your past immigration history.

I have no past immigration history.

How did your wife obtain her US citizenship?

Who was she married to before:- another US citizen or someone from another country? 

She was born there and she was married to a US citizen as well

Your timeline shows you received an RFE. What was the RFE for? 

It was asking for additional evidence which we already sent

Age difference?  Other ed flags?  Sounds like there might be some concern since petitioner interviews are rare. 

Yes there's a little age difference but that has never been an issue between me and my spouse. What other red flags?

So on Nov 10, USCIS scheduled my spouse (petitioner) for interview. She's a US citizen. She's legally divorced and I'm never married untill I met her. I know it's a very rare case. Our priority date is Feb 25 2020. Texas service center before our case got transferred to Potomac. What are we to expect during the interview?
