IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresTragedy! Visa Denied!

At least I get some confirmation from CONGUZ that they are doing Administrative Review on my wife's case, and will not send the files back to USCIS so soon.

What I plan to do is to fight at this Administrative Review stage. Supposedly they should review how the interview was done, any thing unusual during the interview and all that. They are not at liberty of accepting new case evidence documents. But I figure I can question and challenge the interview itself as ineffective.

Principlely, a sophisticated VO should ask the right question to get the right information from the applicant that he/she needs to draw conclusion. If the questioning is done right, he/she would not conclude the relationship is non-bona fide, when it indeed is nona fide, vise versa. The right questioning should leads to FACT, not a speculative conclusion which contradicts the fact.

I think I discovered a few big issues with my wife's interview, even though the questions seem innocent. I will not discuss them here.

But I would ask folks opinion, what kind of questioning or interviewing practice would be considered by them as no good and should be avoided?

Let me give one example, the VO starts to ask the applicant to describe a specific topic and so the applicant began to talk about that topic. However the VO interrupted the applicant, either explicitly, or even by mere hint. And then VO noted on the interview report that the applicant is unfamiliar with that specific topic. This would seem to be totally unfair, because the VO did not give the applicant the opportunity to demonstrate his/her familiarity of the topic in question. This is just one example.

Are there other examples you guys can think about that the VO is not doing the interview right?

All these put together could force an Administrative Review office to rule that the interview was ineffective, and thus reverse the decision and hopefully schedule another interview. Can that be achieved?

One lawyer told me that she heard that CONGUZ did a decision reversal just once as far as she knows. How dismay! I hope miracle can happen!

Yes, I pray for miracle for you two

Unfortunately my wife did not pass the visa interview. She waqs denied for non-bona fides relationship.

I just could not believe it!

I should have known. I did not make enough effort to urge my wife to spend time preparing for the interview. The VO is probably not very satisfied with some of her answers.

I will have to spend a lot of efforts to fight this now.

Oh ,, I sorry :(
