thank you , I'm just trying to understand technicalities around the whole matter

26% for visitor visa is still not high refusal rate, I shared a link to a website that claims it has the statistics okay but Nigeria has 220 million people and the Philippine has a 120 million, Tunisia has only 11 million, and are more culturally related to Europe where most people would marry and go, not the USA your analogy is mistaken this is what I'm talking about, with all due respect you guys don't seem to know exactly what you're talking about on a professional level, instead of explaining the points I asked about, you're telling me about numbers from different countries and different circumstances

what exactly "send it back" mean, to uscis? then what? I don't see how Tunis is a high fraud consulate but still approval rates are high and no we don't have any other red flags can you please explain option 2, what does that mean exactly "sit on it to test us" how long will that take and how to pass the test should we file again?

https://visagrader.com/visa-approvals-and-refusals/K1/tunisia-tun thank you for your advice , it makes sense to want to see more face time, my question tho was if I'd get specifically an INSTANT DENIAL simply because of that one thing without any other red flags thank you for linking those questions immigration attorneys who worked with many nationalities and now right before the interview we're hearing contradicting opinions about an "instant denial" which is confusing me and is the main reason for this post

what is incorrect is taking your own standards and applying them to everybody else, not everyone feels and think like you do, people are different and we should accept that, not everyone needs to live and be physically with their partner for long before marriage, some people are just not like that, and co are experienced enough and smart enough to know that, that's why approval rates for k1 visa are actually high even in a "high fraud" consulate like Tunis, and again no, neither of us knew any of this when we chose to be together, these technicalities and timing came up after a long everyday maintained online communication that made us know each other very well without the need to be physically in the same place because we both prioritized personalities over anything else, have I found it or not( btw I know VJ since ever I didn't just discover it), before we filed we took several professional opinions from a number of experienced immigrations attorneys that guaranteed it would go well even with one visit, these types of negative comments that only tends to diminish other people's relationships and efforts and try to put them in a place of desperation is exactly what I called baseless opinions before and thank you but it's no needed here There's only a few stories that are similar to my story with the same type of visa and in the same consulate that are recent enough, and I also read them all and there's not much of help in those, so no that's actually not accurate

I am aware of these basic information that I can find doing a small google search but I disagree, that's not stressful at all to me, and it's not bothering to me, it would be less stressful to someone only seeking a green card maybe , but me I'm seeking to be with the person I love, so once I am with the person I love, nothing else would really matter and I'll do those things like going through any other everyday life thing, completely unbothered but happy being married and living with the person I love

interviewer will say: if you are not the traveling type, why choose an international relationship that requires a travel? Unless you are not marrying or spending time together because of known religious/ customary reasons and these reasons are documented. But generally these couples will marry and then file spousal visa. - the relationship chose me and I didn't choose, never thought I'd marry internationally, I just met this person and we matched well, and we're really into each other, neither of us like that's it's international or thought it'd be this way, which makes it extra frustrating but you do what you need to do to be with the right person so an extra two years waiting will not be an issue if the visa is refused? -there's a difference between waiting to finally get together and 4 years to be together after refusal and more scrutinizing bcz as you know they'll be much more scrutinizing for marriage visa, they'd want more proofs because obviously a marriage is more than an engagement interviewer will sit on your case until it expires. You will have to file another I129F or get married and file an I130. Interviewer is looking for a real relationship. They will probably request all correspondence between the two of you for the 18 months you did not see each other. -fair enough speak to your partner about this. Sounds like if you want to move forward with a wedding in August- for safety she should visit you. Why is a U.S. marriage more important than a legal marriage from Tunisia? They might ask you reasons for this… - we are discussing our options , reasons are USA has nicer venues and places to hold a wedding, USC is much more close to her family than me to my family so it would matter more to her if her family is present more than it would to me if mine were not present, we'd like to spend honeymoon in USA not here and not wait for 2 years after marriage to spend a honeymoon, since we're both gonna be establishing a life in the USA it would make much more sense to have a significant event as a marriage ceremony happening in the USA as well for sentimental and convenience reasons. _____________ I'm asking for professional opinions or similar past experiences in the same consulate, not baseless guessing opinions even tho all is appreciated, thank you all

I understand how that could be, we really want to be together , only we want to do it in marriage bond around 18 months ago, it was for like 2 weeks that's weird to me because I'm from here and we don't have those norms, not in my family at least, we don't care for parents approvals and parents don't care to approve our decisions to pick a spouse or a lover, I know understanding some technicalities about life in the USA might be challenging for some, but I'm well educated and I speak good English, and I know what social security ,driver's license and health insurance are, and I'm aware I won't be able to work until I get my employment authorization and we're okay with that, also I think I'll handle whatever homesickness I'll be feeling especially if I'm spending my days with the love of my life Thank you for sharing your experience, there's different cultures here in the same country, mostly divided by rural and urban areas, maybe also families differ, we met around 18 months ago for like 2 weeks that's fair, but if we got married we'll have to live the first 2 years of marriage or so apart dealing with stressful visa processes, instead we wanted to deal with it before marriage so once we're married we're focused on each other and our life together instead of the suspenseful waiting and technicalities of the visa process I understand how that could be, we really want to be together , only we want to do it in marriage bond around 18 months ago, it was for like 2 weeks that's weird to me because I'm from here and we don't have those norms, not in my family at least, we don't care for parents approvals and parents don't care to approve our decisions to pick a spouse or a lover, I know understanding some technicalities about life in the USA might be challenging for some, but I'm well educated and I speak good English, and I know what social security ,driver's license and health insurance are, and I'm aware I won't be able to work until I get my employment authorization and we're okay with that, also I think I'll handle whatever homesickness I'll be feeling especially if I'm spending my days with the love of my life Thank you for sharing your experience, there's different cultures here in the same country, mostly divided by rural and urban areas, maybe also families differ, we met around 18 months ago for like 2 weeks that's fair, but if we got married we'll have to live the first 2 years of marriage or so apart dealing with stressful visa processes, instead we wanted to deal with it before marriage so once we're married we're focused on each other and our life together instead of the suspenseful waiting and technicalities of the visa process

Alright but what if we're just not the always travelling type , we both share the belief that we should not spend much personal time together before marriage and we already decided that we want to be together in a marriage bond , how's that of an answer or you think that would be misunderstood badly long time for some people might not be long time for other people especially if you're maintaining communication online and the distance is thousands of miles across the globe I don't see the relevance of specifically my mother approving but yes she approves and believes I'm a grown up adult who can make these decisions for myself I'm not sure what you mean by child bearing age, but we're both in mid to late twenties and yes I know everything about my fiancé I can answer anything thank you , it's just frustrating that I don't know in what manner exactly does that convincing of me loving her should go to satisfy the co we both have personal matters and history together that makes us know we love each other, but the co is a stranger who'll have to decide in 5 min, if no instant denial then what you think it would be? USC is a woman, she's younger than me but not much, religion wise we're both spiritual non institutional/formal religion, culture is close within Mediterranean culture, I'd rather not delay the interview but I'm not sure how long it should be if we have to , we're planning the wedding to be in August so idk, I didn't do my medical yet we've been waiting for a long time, 2 more years and another visa process would be so inconvenient for us, we really would rather not do that besides we wanna get married in the USA it's just what we want

I'm engaged to a us citizen and we applied for a k1 visa last year and got approved by USCIS after submitting photos together and proof of trip vacation we both took together to another country, Now I have my interview scheduled soon and things is, we only met in person that time around 18 months ago, and we're having people telling us we're getting instant denial evidently if we don't meet in person again before the interview, because I am doing in it Tunisia, there's no red flags, no previous marriages, no age gap, no criminal records, money is fine, the guy is older in the relationship, ..etc. We even have a wedding plan, except the fact that the interview is taking place in Tunisia, Can that one thing cause instant denial only for meeting once If we gonna plan more trips we'll probably need to delay the interview and we don't wanna do that we just wanna get married already, And isn't the process supposed to go through refusal first where they ask for more evidence and look more into it, if so why are we hearing from supposedly "professional people" telling us we'll get "instant denial" How true is that and what should we do?
