Why Do Easy Green Card Cases Get Denied in 2022?

[@faikyesilyaprak8761]

I appreciate your honesty about race being a part of the process and standing for justice and what is right-wrong. Explaining the reality while expressing the truth takes real courage. Thank you so much!

[@jerryjohnson1967]

You are the Truth Whisperer!!! Thank you!!! It’s sad in 2022 that my marriage will be judged based on our race/background…I’m black and my husband is Turkish and because I didn’t marry someone of the same race/background that makes us suspicious..WOW and not surprised at all of that mentality!!

[@nedianaip]

Same thing happened to us. Increduble.

[@MrZipper42]

From my experience USCIS denies cases where things don't fit and where people have failed to follow direction and/or be responsive to requests. With my case, we were fortunate in that we did direct consular filing, and my wife's case was approved in 8 days. And the VISA was approved in another 8 days after we submitted the DS260. Note, our case was an EASY case since it was a CR1 case where my wife had never been to the U.S. Anyhow, submit your paperwork properly, and be responsive. And if something is out of place, explain it within your initial filling. Also, make it easy for them so everything is there the first pass through. Don't leave things out.

[@mariaelenamartinez7496]

Exactly, the truth is always revealed in computer data uscis dig them all up.

[@bethany9430]

Is there a lot of marriage fraud? There's a person I knew for a minute a while ago. She married someone while on a student visa just to obtain a greencard. I guess she also got friends to write letters stating it was a real marriage. She obviously divorced and married someone else. When I was told this I couldn't decide if I was annoyed at her for doing that, or the government for making it difficult pushing people go down a deceitful path. This puts honest people who are in real marriages under such scrutiny. As someone going through immigration for my husband. I can actually give some sympathy towards these government employees. You have to rely on documents that's supposed to paint a picture of people that you don't know. I suppose if I were doing that job perhaps I'd become jaded and assume most people weren't honest. It's definitely a cause and effect world.

[@angelo6771]

there are americans they married for money !! ashamed i mean usa is a rich country is it? and poor immigrant they just send money to their family in poor country they also pay this usa citizen but they get deported the usa citizen got the money....i dont know why ,,i dont like fake marriage especially with those americans.

[@zubirhusein]

Yeah it is difficult, even in non-immigrant cases there's marriage fraud where someone is marrying for ulterior motives (money, comfort etc.) so it's really hard to detect cases where the immigrant is seducing a citizen just to get the green card. Regular citizens will willingly cohabitate and have children with each other without getting married and separate and become single parents, so it's not a stretch that someone would go through all of that for a green card.

My husband is Haitian . I’m white American . I’m 20 yr older. Took 3 yr to get the visa after we married in DR. After much much stress waiting he arrived in US then received his green card just a month later . Thank God . But I definitely know the wait of him getting here caused so much stress on our marriage . His getting here to US was just last year . Even though I do work in Haiti, I was not even able to go see him for over 1 yr due to covid . My nerves are shot . We took in 10 orphans in Haiti and now are trying to bring 3 of the small children , who are his distant relatives to US. Only God can help us …

Good one Jim, thanks for the information being passed

[@τσέστερ]

This is very informative. All my papers and documents are well handled and submitted for USCIS but still they sent me a REQUEST FOR INITIAL AND ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE. My employer applied for i360 Petition for Special Immigrant (religious monk). They said they sent the letter last September 20th, 22 but as of now the letter we haven't received it yet.

[@mannazjourney]

Make sense based on all the delays or denied I’ve seen. My friend she is American and married a guy from Jamaica 4 years past and they are still waiting…

[@yellowglider]

Talking about stupid ways the USCIS works sometimes… Many, many years ago I firstly entered the US on behalf of the European company I have been working for about seven years at the time. I applied for an L1, I was supposed to start a new US subsidiary and my role was going to be CEO. I used an attorney, so the paperwork was supposedly correct. Time passes, no answers from the USCIS so we paid for expedite. The answer we got “THE COMPANY DOESN’T EXIST YET SO IT DOESN’T NEED A CEO”… Duh??? I was supposed to “create” the company and hire the people, who do you think could do that? Should the parent company have sent a receptionist or a janitor to start?… The attorney suggested we appeal and in the mean time apply for an E1 which would have been discussed at the European consulate. I got the E1 and started operating with that… The appeal was approved two and a half years later…

[@alaskan6384]

Why on earth would USCIS want a good, legitimate marriage to fail, or root for a marriage to fail, that doesn't make sense.

Why would a Canadian need marriage for a green card. I thought the US and Canada have this agreement where its citizens can work without a work visa.

[@Truthhurts0912]

Nope, the rules are the same for everyone.

[@Nurse-Laura]

Sort of. There is TN status, but a lot of people don’t qualify for it. It’s also only technically good for three years and it’s intended to be temporary, so it can’t be renewed indefinitely. There are also benefits with a green card that you can’t get on TN status (collecting unemployment insurance if you lose your job, being allowed to work for any employer, not having to leave the country if you get laid off or fired, getting certain credit cards and investment opportunities, donating to political campaigns… the list goes on). I’m Canadian and was on TN status for 7 years before I got my green card through marriage.

[@bjemma4459]

you perfectly highlighted the long list of possible scenarios... what does it mean when uscis seats on a case for more 3 years after the interview without any correspondence? what is the way out when the relationship is obviously crumbling due to the stress of the filing and delay?

From looking at my friends, a white person with criminal history will get the same treatment as a black or latino person with criminal history. Ridiculous statement. Now a more nuanced approach would be if you have 2 white folks with no criminal history and two black folks with no criminal history, I think this may be tilted slightly against the minority couple, but it depends on which part of the country you are in. Midwest, maybe. But in NYC or LA or SEA or even South Florida or Texas, no issues, generally. That being said, no where is guaranteed. And the mixed race situation in the wrong USCIS center may be an issue, but I would argue that it would depend on the Officer involved. But in general I have not seen this play out as starkly as Hacking says. Way more nuanced.

As far as the racism, I will defer to your experience. But - when it comes to couples from different backgrounds, from living as an expat in Thailand for a few years, I can say that 90% of marriages/relationships between Thai women and Western Men, don’t end well. Again, this is anecdotal and purely from my observations, but nonetheless it is a bit warranted for USCIS to be skeptical. On the flip side, there are many common denominators between the inter-cultural relationships which don’t work out. Most key among them is age gap, and more importantly when the man doesn’t speak Thai, and the woman doesn’t speak English. In fact, Western friends of mine who are in relationships with Thai women around their age range, who speak good English, tend to have stronger relationships then western couples. - and that is something I would expect a USCIS officer to be able to catch onto.

[@rbelczynski]
