Why did my Fiance visa application get denied?

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
It is true that U.S.C.I.S. may waive the in person meeting requirement if it would cause extreme hardship to you or would violate strict and long-established customs of your fiancé’s foreign culture or social practice. Perhaps you did not explain adequately how it would violate long-established customs of your common religion or satisfy the agency otherwise that you would have a bona fide relationship with your fiancé. I suggest that if you file another petition for him, you include evidence that you both belong to the religion and that meeting him prior to marriage is against your religion including independent proof from religious clergy or from encyclopedias or other books. Also that you include further evidence of the bona fide character of the relationship including affidavits from knowing individuals from both sides of your families.

How do I get him to come back with me as a fiancé if I wish to marry my boyfriend in Ghana?

M. Gabriela Ungo
Answered by attorney M. Gabriela Ungo
Immigration lawyer at GC Ungo Immigration
The fiance visa would be a quicker option, but you would need to marry him in the the U.S. The process is usually about 7-8 months. Once he enters the U.S with a fiance visa, you need to marry within 90 days of entry and then file a green card for him. Fiancee visa plus filing a green card later in the U.S. is quicker but more costly. If you decide to marry him Ghana, the average wait is 15-18 months before he can enter with a green card (immigrant visa).
