New and in need of loads of help

[2Enugu]

Hi I am a female USC and applied for a K1 visa for my fiancee in Nigeria. He just had his interview and it was a mess. We had been introduced by a relative that wanted to take me to visit his homeland. The original trip failed do to a death in my family in 2005 Over the years we became closer. I visited and we filed ( both in 2007 ) All is well until the interview. They latched onto the fact that his relative introduced us and combined that with the fact he doesn't know what I do at work other than "computer stuff" . I hold a security clearance and can't discuss work. Even though people recommended we make up how we met because I may have to undergo lie decector testing we were totally honest. They are trying to make that the relationship is for immigration purposes only. I hae over a hundred pictures from my trip with his family and friends and nearly daily phone calls. He doesn't not have internet access. I guess my handle should be be mission impossible.

Thanks I have actually considered moving there but think the job search would be hard.

It is now 3 days later and the tears just keep flowing. I have gone though every emotion I can think of anger , despair, disbelief. I have vented in emails not sent , used words my mother would have washed my mouth out for. Well the good part is I have dropped a ton of weight. I am so disgusted with my government right now I don't even have words to express myself.

2, what are you planning to do after the denial? Did they give a piece of paper stating the reason of the refusal? What does it state? Are you working with a lawyer?

[2Enugu]

The paper reads as follows

We are returning your visa petition the the Department of Homeland Security where it was approved with our recommendation that the petition be reviewed for possible revocation. Any further inquires should be directed to that office.

The applicant was unable to provide substantial evidence of a bona fide relationship and this relationship as established for the beneficiary's immigration to the United States.

the form is a 194 rev 4-05
We had tons of proof ( pictures, calls, gift, wedding plans and reciepts of a dress) and they did this because his cousin introduced us and he doesn't know the details of my classified work.

[JMRJ]

Sounds like you were denied under Section 221(g).

INA 221(g) simply means the consular officer does not believe the alien is eligible for the requested visa. Relevant portion of INA 221(g):

No visa or other documentation shall be issued to an alien if (1) it appears to the consular officer, from statements in the application, or in the papers submitted therewith, that such alien is ineligible to receive a visa or such other documentation under section 212, or any other provision of law, (2) the application fails to comply with the provisions of this Act, or the regulations issued thereunder, or (3) the consular officer knows or has reason to believe that such alien is ineligible to receive a visa or such other documentation under section 212, or any other provision of law...


If your records have no other remarks like Section 212(a) you should be able to reapply again on a normal process. It's not necessarily the end of the world yet for you. But I strongly suggest to get a competent lawyer this time if you can afford it.

Most of us can relate to your disappointments. I do....

There are times when you feel so hopeless and so full of despair. I do. I have my own bouts of feeling like I have reach my boiling point on any moment at any given day since my husband was picked up by ICE. But there has to be a time to face this problem - technically. Research, get a competent lawyer if you can, determine on how to start over again. No government has a right to limit your dreams. You should never agree to give up your dreams.

[2Enugu]

The reason was that the applicant failed to prove a bona fide relationship. Which to totally wrong he has lots of picture and phone records and receipts . I just got out of a short hospital stay. But yes I am getting a good lawyer and appealing

It looks like I am heading to his country. His father passed and will be buried in about a month. This is all so very hard on us.

Hi,
This situation reminds me my own situation so much. I was turned down for my K-1 fiance visa without explaining what was the problem. We asked the senator to help us. We filed FIOA as well,but received vague answer: the case was returned for review. I did sumbitted lots of proof, I regret not knowing how can I receive them back,but we didn't give up.
My fiance visa was expired in June. We planned to marry in any case,so after my refusal under vague 221(g) my now husband came in my country and we married in May. We applied for I-130 which is approved and sent to NVC. I am very nervous,bcs God knows what to expect this time,but we are not going to GIVE UP.
