Hi,
I am on H1B working in OH and recently married (arranged marriage).
My wife had H4 visa interview in hyderabad, India and we are distant relatives.
When she was asked about the relation, she mentioned as cousin and Visa officer (VO) said OH doesn't support such marriages and suggested to change my location to another state where such marriages are legal.
However, she did not receive any slip or any papers from VO explaining the reason for not approving visa. On sending an email explaining the interview conversation, they responded
saying that she was determined to be ineligible for a visa under Section 214(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)
Please suggest if anyone had faced similar situation and what can be the next step.
Thanks
