Africa: Sub-SaharanWhat's next? Married 2 years I129 interview visa denial
Thank you for your reply and welcome to the boards. I would like to look at the infopass I didn't know about that. It really is a matter of us being together ... actually trying to figure that out. Without going into detail I can't live there, not due to discomfort or any of those things - I love my family there and I've been in Nigeria and I'm most willing to be there. Safety is a huge concern. Has anyone here traveled through Nigeria?

Thank you so much for your encouragment.

Africa: Sub-SaharanWhat's next? Married 2 years I129 interview visa denial
Thank you so very much for replying to my post! I am going to open up the threads you linked me too and appreciate that very much. After my Husband was denied we contacted the Embassy for a second interview which we didn't get, the reasons for denial were four and vague and didn't make sense. We submitted proof to clear those claims and some more evidence. I just don't know what's next except we were going to pursue the I130 now. I havn't spoken with the senator's office the lawyer has done that, I just don't know what's next. I feel helpless sitting here.

I come up with silly jokes to move through this. Like I joked that God may have prevented the catastrophe of my Hubby coming because he knew I hadn't replaced my granny panties yet...lol.

Thank you again so much.

Africa: Sub-SaharanWhat's next? Married 2 years I129 interview visa denial
I'm new to this site, mostly came on to find some sort of hope or similar experience with Embassy in Lagos Nigeria. I don't know where our case is going and the situation is such that visiting my Husband is going to take some miracles.

The long and short of it, we're married for about 2 years now, last summer was denied our I129 much to the surprise of our lawyer as well. "no evidence of bona fied relationship." - As I have read all over this website everyone too explained their surprise due to the poundage of evidence supplied that somehow their relationship was not bona fied.

Trying to sort through all these feelings of shock and anger at being separated for really no seemingly plausible reason but keeping faith that at some point something has to happen.

There was the strange events prior to our denial...Before our packet left the service center in US it was MIA for months then in Nigeria the loss of the interview letter and package by the Embassy and waiting months to get any info about it - no offer to replace the MIA packet and no responce either.

8 months later we have a interview notice in 2 weeks - after lawyer directly contacts them to find out when our date is! Not allowing my spouse in for his interiview on the day claiming he wasn't my husband...

Senator gets involved just to get him in the door for his interview. We've been together years before - plenty of evidence - not much interest in it. Denial. That was about 8 or 9 months ago. Senator office still supporting our situation. No word from the Service Center. It's near impossible due to so many circumstances to visit my Husband. Not sleeping, wondering when we'll finally be together and what more stress to prepare oneself for.

People in my circle said they had no idea a spouse could be denied a visa. Due to the previous events I wasn't entirely shocked but we really felt that they would see obviously that there was no reason for us to be denied. He is upstanding citizen, no threat and it's not difficult to see our relationship is bona fied. I wonder what is coming next. Any comments would be more appreciated. It's like being on a island with "other" people who have no idea what this is like. - Thanks for reading.

Hi Everyone - I accidently posted this on Canada's forum...lol.

I wanted to ask how many here know or or have seen a spouse denied visa after interview and then eventually granted visa to be with their partner?
If so how long did it take?
Was anyone denied a visa twice after it went from US and then back again to the country of foreign spouse?

Any experience or knowledge happily recieved. blush.gif

I'd love to find out in general how many people you think are denied a visa for their spouse and in the end were granted approval.
How many cases are sent back for review in US and then returned to the foreign country?
Do you know anyone this happened to?
How long did it take?
Also has anyone ever been denied twice even after their petition was sent back to the foreign country?

You must be relieved to be sending in the fee and paperwork for I130 - you really did so good getting right on it. Are you going to apply for an I129 at the same time? Hang in there. good.gif
