rhour Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Yesterday I sat with 4 other americans on the fourth floor of the consulate while our wifes were upstairs getting thier interview's. Unfortunately none were CFL members. One guy from California started his visa process 2.5 years ago. This was his 4th trip to the consulate. I believe one of the problems was is that she was from Fujian Province which is known for a lot of fraud. He first started with a fiancee K1 that was rejected, then got married and filed a K3 and finally he was at the consulate with a CR1 filing. One of the previous questions they asked him was why did he retain a lawyer from New York while he lived in California. The good news is that his wife also got her visa yesterday. Link to comment

philb Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Thanks, Good to know that that question came up. I also, am from California and retained a New York attorney. All he does is Chinese Immigration and his fee was only $600 to look over all of my documents. He did find a couple of glitches that I fixed before it went in. He also fielded a last minute question when I found out that my SO's Father had actually passed away 10 years ago and that I was meeting her stepfather. This does make a difference on the application. I feel that he was worth his fee Thanks, Phil Link to comment
beijingjenny Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 My husband is from Fujian and this was never an issue. He said many others from Fujian (who were the majority of applicants!) also got their visa that day. I'm sure in his wife's case, while fujianers can definitely be fraudsters and the US govt knows that, there was more to the case than that. Link to comment

I don't believe the US consulate is singling out any Chinese province for across the board rejection. Most often a visa applicant is denied for other specific reasons. One would have to look at each case to determine. What's most interesting, is that those that are active on this site are rarely denied at the interview; and those few that have been have overcome later. I think, but am not certain that Candle is at a 100% approval Link to comment

Your statement goes along with what I said in the general preparedness thread. That said, I think there have been others who for one reason or another have not come back to report the final outcome but they are rare.

I for one fail to understand why anyone would consider a marriage based visa, file a petition, and take a willy-nilly attitude toward it. It's serious business..... Link to comment
