VisaOfficer:
Each petition is given proper scrutiny. If the petitioner and the beneficiary have a qualifying relationship, and if the beneficiary doesn't have any ineligibilities, the beneficiary will get a visa.

We don't put a lot of faith in documents because any document can be faked. Also, sometimes in real relationships, people show up with fake documents because they don't think they have enough evidence to show us! So a document that looks real doesn't mean the relationship is real, and a fake document doesn't necessarily mean that the relationship is fake. We rely most heavily on the interview; if the beneficiary can't talk credibly about the relationship, that's when we start to have doubts.

It's also a problem for us if there's contradictory information. Sometimes we see immigrant visa applicants who claim to be unmarried, but they had two non-immigrant visa applications in which they claimed to be married with children. Then we have to figure out what the truth is.

My thoughts exactly, most people claim they had genunine documents and we're not even given opportunity to talk, thank you for the clarification and continued selfless assistance in this forum. Gracias

Good Morning VIsa Officer

You are helping a lot of us using this medium, I would like to find out why so many couples are placed under A P after years of waiting, so many people have said the Nigerian Embassy is known for not looking through applicants evidence before making a decision, how correct can that be? If a beneficiary of a family visa has strong evidence to proof relationship to the petition, then why would they be placed on AP, considering the several years of delay caused by the visa process. Are visa decisions based on a CO's feelings on laid down rules and regulations? I am asking so that you can reconfirm that each petition would be givin proper scrutiny and visas given as long as there are no red flags. Thank You.
