Q: USA dependent visa H-4 refused under 212(a)(6)(c)(1) with a waiver
Hello, My H-4 visa has been refused under 212(a)(6)(c)(1) with a waiver to apply on the grounds of ineligibility in new delhi, India. I've got married on 19/04/2017 in a temple in front of 8-10 close members of family but we didn't click photographs because we had a grand marriage function lined up in december 2017 when my husband had to come again from US as he was running out of holidays and had a one-month vacation but we registered our marriage in court in april only and applied visa in july,2017. I was served with 221(g) form for photographic evidence of marriage. I showed it in february 2018 as we again did all the wedding rituals in dec,2017 and showed them all wedding rituals photographs of that time.But the consular officer did not accept them saying they want the temple' s wedding photos and refused my Visa and charged to illegally expediting the visa process n misrepresent facts. Please help me. What should i do now? Eagerly waiting for your response. Thank you!
Advocate Rabindra Kumar Singh answered
For U.S. immigration purpose, the marriage should be valid per the Hindu Marriage Act applicable in the India jurisdiction. You should have tried to get a certificate from the Priest who performed the initial marriage or an Affidavit from him. Civil marriage is not for Hindus in India. Please schedule a consultation ASAP so that I can guide you on what needs to be done so that you could obtain H-4 visa. I look forward to assisting.
Q: Friend forcing to get married so she can get the green card
I agreed to marry a friends nephew to help them get their green card. However I researched more into it and realized it is illegal and changed my mind. But my friend said if I do not marry their nephew they will send our conversation into ICE marriage fraud. Should I be worried because I did not do anything illegal and changed my mind?
Advocate Rabindra Kumar Singh answered
Given the limited facts provided, I must say that you did the right thing by changing your mind. You should not worry because the marriage did not take place. If you want to discuss further, please contact LawRato and speak with an experienced immigration Attorney specializing in U.S. immigration.
