Age difference
It is no secret that half of marriages with foreigners is fictitious and for profit. Therefore, if you and your future husband have too big an age difference, consulate staff may be wary. There is no specific figure, and yet, if in doubt, collect more actual evidence of your relationship.
Not enough facts
The main task of the visa interview - to convince employees that your relationship continues long enough and is really serious enough to develop into a marriage. Use the printouts of e-mails, joint photos from the rest, plane tickets from trips to the USA (if any), confirmation of money transfers from country to country.
Not enough meetings
If you met only once (for example, the bridegroom flew in to meet and this is documented), the interviewers may naturally suspect that some of you have a certain calculation in this marriage. It is advisable to organize at least two meetings, while one of them is very necessary after submitting the application to the US immigration service. Especially important photos, which captures the meeting of families of future newlyweds.
Poor language skills
If the bride does not know the language of the country where her future husband lives, this can cause a number of suspicions. Bring to the interview certificate of passage of English courses, suitable universal international certificates TOEFL or IELTS.
Relatives in America
If you have relatives in the United States, this may indicate that you are trying to circumvent the legal procedure and intend to reunite with your family in this way - getting married is fictitious. Therefore, it is important to be able to prove that your goal is truly a family union.
Hasty wedding
After your acquaintance with the groom too little time passed? Be prepared for the fact that they will ask you many questions and are unlikely to give the bride a visa. Relationship history should last at least several months and include real meetings, even if you fell in love with each other on the Internet.
Errors in the documents
Incorrectly executed documents, as in the case of obtaining any visa, can be a reason for refusal. To obtain a bride's visa, you need a form, a birth certificate, a certificate of divorce of the previous marriage (if any), documents on the criminal record, tax returns, letters from work and other documents indicated on the website of the consulate. All this must be officially translated into English, and some also assured with an apostil. Check everything twice and contact a reliable translation bureau.
Failure is almost inevitable in the following situations:
- sexually transmitted diseases or tuberculosis;
- incomplete divorce procedure;
- the commission of crimes in the United States;
- suspicion of membership in extremist organizations.
Considering all these moments and nuances, you will significantly increase your chances of getting a visa and a quick reunion with your loved one in the country of your dreams.
