K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Why USCIS/ US Consulates might think your application is fraudulent...	Obviously, a link to any of the above mentioned does not signify an outright denial,because they are all checks that needs be done on application.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	HIGHLY DEPRESSED	That is the answer about AP. Being that Nigeria is such a high fraud Embassy most (if not all) beneficiaries are put through AP... Additionally, ALL MENA beneficiaries are placed in AP for name checks and additional security clearances since 9/11. Hope it is a short AP! Good luck!! Your Comments about Nigeria has always being derailing and to correct you,Nigeria isnt always placed on AP..being that the beneficiary resides in Middle East warranted it. Well its a Norm that all MENA countries beneficiaries are placed on AP...except a few instance,where the Petitioner was there during the interview.Hope you less stressing Visa Journey as you wait for the AP approval	souleymon	Not Telling	Nigeria	2011-11-28 06:30:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K1 visa denial. relationship for immigration purpose. badly depressed,	Situations such as is described by the OP can be appealed - the realistic chance of approval for THIS visa application is very low. The Consulate has detemined that the purpose of the relationship is for the beneficiary to immigrate to the USA and basically has told the OP that there is no basis to prove a bonafied relationship. If the Consulate had wanted additional proof, he would have issued a 221(g) and given 30 days for the OP and the petitioner to submit more evidence. However - the Consulate has decided to return the petition to USCIS. Once in USCIS's hands the petition will either be readjudicated and sent again to the Embassy or USCIS will issue a NOIR - Notice of intent to revoke. Either way, the odds of VISA approval are slim. Why? Let's assume that USCIS reaffirms the petition. The petition is then sent again to the very Embassy and most likely the SAME Consulate who found intent to fraud the first time. Another interview will be held with the SAME Consulate. What do YOU think the outcome will be? Best bet.. Withdraw this peition. Start fresh with the petitioner making another trip to spend time with the beneficiary and keep EVERYTHING proving a bonafied relationship. OR - marry, and get everything possible to prove bonafied marriage. This will be an uphill battle, but refiling either K-1 or CR-1 is the most likley path to approval IF they prove legitimate relationship. wouldnt acknowledge ur comments ever Situations such as is described by the OP can be appealed - the realistic chance of approval for THIS visa application is very low.
