i suspect officer had a bad day have something against you

On the day of our interview the lights went out about 5 minutes into starting my husband's interview. She was locked in the room and my husband to come out to get someone to get her out. She continued his interview in the main room which lasted about another 5 minutes. And then she tooks both of us to a room that was uncomfortable for all three of us to discuss the interview. She told us she might call for another interview and she didnt. Instead she too almost a month to give an answer. I don't think that's due process at all.

The interview isn't meant to provide due process. As many people in this particular thread will attest, many VOs will use intimidation, insults, groundless accusations, misinterpretation, and various techniques to perhaps justify the decision that they've already made in their minds before the interview. Some have suggested that this is to throw you off balance, so that you would reveal some tidbid of information that could be used against you. In the end, it's an opportunity for you to change the VO's mind.

That you say you will re-apply and address their concerns, tells me that there were still doubts in the VO's mind that you were not able to satisfactorily address in the interview. Since they don't tell you in advance what their concerns are, it is difficult to prepare evidence in advance to address those concerns.

You should be able to expect due process at the full hearing, however. It is in a court setting, with a judge and counsel, with set procedures and allows for cross-examination, witnesses, disclosure, etc. I believe that the hearings are recorded. You can have up to a full day to explain your case, and have to opportunity to appeal to federal court if you feel that there was an error in the process.

Of course, if you apply inland, there is no appeal.

so basically she had a bad day but that no grounds of refusal

I am told you can not appeal to the IAD but you can appeal to the federal court. I wanted to know if there was anyone who reapplied inland. Because that's what we plan on doing after we receive the letter with the help of a lawyer.

 

[Gloria217]

I am also told with a federal appeal you can not submit new evidence.

 

[wait_so_long]

That is correct. They are not there to re-hear your case, or to consider new evidence.

Your only avenue, as you had suggested, is to re-apply with additional evidence to address their concerns. The decision is whether to apply inland, or outland.

Hello guys,

HELP NEEDED!!!

Sept 12th applicant and AOR2 received on 3rd Nov.
We had our court marriage with a small family gathering followed by reception in July,16..There was no much rituals happened that time because we followed the basic rituals and in front of a temple with witness of priest and family but we did our traditional social marriage on feb this year.. whatever pictures we had submitted all along with the application. I think whatever pictures we provided were not enough to proof our marriage so I was asked to submit all the pictures of all traditional wedding rituals..I submitted all pics along with a cover letter explaining why it did not happened last year..After that I got a random telephonic interview on 17th apr and it was answered by my parents. In my understanding , they were more focussing on our traditional marriage on Feb. They were verifying about all the traditional Bengali rituals happened on feb 5th, about the venue and they were enquiring about past date on July what happened. was there any priest and was there any rituals happened on July or not.
In my gc key showing "additional documents provided have been uploaded successfully" but it's been almost 1.5 months bgc has not started yet..

Just the curiosity..If any1 has the same situation like me?

Sharing all your experiences/thoughts would be highly appreciated.

Thank you very much for you response.
That's the delimma inland or outland. I will definitely reapply inland if the lawyer says that's an option.
I can not leave my husband at the moment.

That you were able to comply with the request for more or updated information does not mean you can't be refused. Did you have an interview? What were the reasons for refusal? Why did the VO think that your relationship was not genuine?

No interview at all nd all he or sje said was my marriage not genuine nd despite vo say relationship is for a long time nd that lot of evidence to back application he or she still refuse it and appeal killing it up because they not stand by period given. I will try find what he said on the gcms note.

It's curious that they'd declare your relationship ingenuine without even giving you a chance to respond to their concerns. Hopefully the GCMS notes will tell you more. Good luck.
