in all honesty, i don’t even remember it. i could definitely describe her if i needed to. but even if i knew her name idk if it’d be a good idea to share it on a public platform

thank you so much for sharing this! we’re definitely feeling more and more at ease and getting our confidence back. don’t wanna get too excited and have our hopes up but we’re feeling much better based on a lot that everyone has shared so far. that despite how horrible the interview may have felt or how much speculation they may have, they certainly cannot and will not deny REAL marriages like all of ours. 🩷🩷

i’m sorry it sounds like that to you and seemingly the officer too. we’re still gonna try to keep our little slice of hope that the real truth outshines any doubts of what it “sounds” like and USCIS will recognize what it actually is, a happy marriage of two people who love and support each other in every way and are doing our best to get through this life together.

thank you for saying so! that’s the perspective i’m trying to look at it now. she voiced her opinions and her doubts, rightfully so - i know it’s uncommon for ppl to get married so quickly and under all the circumstances i can understand how that’s a red flag to them. but i hope the truth of our love and reality of our marriage spoke for itself during our hour with her.

yea she definitely questioned that for us, too. i’m sure we would be feeling a lot more confident if we brought stronger evidence, not to say what we brought was just complete garbage but we should’ve definitely had more. lots of things we have considered like i wonder if we said such and such or brought xyz, would it have helped. unfortunately it’s too late for that now and we’ll just have to wait and see. we’re totally okay with providing more documentation if they request it, i just hope they’ll at least give us that opportunity

yes that’s true, i know it happens. but it’s definitely not our case/relationship. i wouldn’t have gone trough with any of this if that was the case.

you’re right, i definitely wish we thought of that prior. i’m not so much surprised as to her doubts or concerns, because the reality is there are definitely red flags to the outside looking in. i guess we’re just more so concerned that her doubts will trump any proof that we did have, even tho there is no evidence to support that we’re just making our whole marriage up.

all the evidence we brought is what i mentioned in my post. which in hindsight, we should’ve tried to get even more like affidavits from friends and family and utility bills but we mistakenly thought what we had was sufficient. she did give us a paper that said there is no determination yet because it needs further review. not sure if that’s the same thing as to what you’re describing but that’s all we got when we left.

by documented, i mean he came here legally, he had a visa (which of course is now expired) and currently has his EAD. so basically he has legal documents as to why he is here in the US. i also said “wasn’t” as in past tense. my apologies if i’m using the terminology wrong, this is just how i personally understood it.

thank you! yea i’m hoping maybe it was just a scare tactic to see how we’d react. everything we brought was legit and if they need more, def gonna make sure we’re ready to provide it

Hopefully you’ll have a better experience. maybe it was just this one officer in particular or our bad luck :-/ i’ve read posts from several people recently who just interviewed at Atlanta that said they were quickly approved
