Las Vegas Immigration & Marriage Visas

Tuesday, February 23, 2010 by Constantinos G. Fountas

Consular officials have denied many fiance and marriage based visas due to the beneficiary not being able to remember their in-laws date of death or the exact date of a funeral. 

Las Vegas Immigration Laws

In the case of a fiance, the only requirement is that the couple should have met within the last 2 years before they plan to marry.  Yet many cases that are legitimate on their face are denied without reason.  

  • One example is a Chinese fiance where the petitioner who is ethnically Chinese and a US citizen speaks Chinese but does not read or write it.  The beneficiary does not know English.  The consular official in China denied the fiance because among other reasons the petitioner does not read or write Chinese and there is no way he can communicate with the beneficiary. 

This is clearly an erroneous denial and an error in judgment on the part of the consulate official.
