My sponsor pledges to sue the consulate

[geot]

My wife and i attended dv11 and were later called for our final appointment. To our dismay, the consul said my wife failed who was principal applicant. We challenged the consul and they later saw that they have rather made that mistake on one of our documents.

Now, the consul ask of tax documents of our sponsor for 2010 which he provided. They again called to ask for ID cards from high school which we provided. They again called us for 2nd interview.

On this day of our second interview, we were interviewed in separate rooms and the officer did not ask same questions because when after my wife and i compared what the officer asked and they were not similar.

Once the issuance decision lies in the hand of the officer, she told us to make a choice between granting my wife who is principal applicant or we loss the two visas because our answers to the questions were different.

Now, when my wife has been granted the visa, and if the officer suspected that we were fraudulent, i think she should be bold enough to deny all of us.

My sponsor thinks, there is no sense in the denial and plans are underway to sue the consul.

Comrades, do you think something meaningful will come out of this before i node to take a wayforward.

You will only learn that you can waste a ton of money on futile lawsuits.

Officers at consulates behave terribly at times but they are basically immune fromo being sued successfully. If you wife has gotten the visa let her come to the US. As soon as she has her green card in hand she can petition for you to come using the I 130 form. The wait for a spouse of an LPR is about 3 years. Use the time to make a stack of evidence taller than the CO and you will have the last laugh.

i agree. i don't think suing them would be very successful at all and it could destroy your chances of getting a visa in the future. these consulates have high immunity and they don't owe the citizens of their host country anything. my advice is to concentrate on the future. i don't know where you heard that your denial bars you for 99 years. i don't think that is accurate. as long as you can gather more evidence your wife can petition for you and you should be able to receive a visa. as long as the consul didn't determine that you were fraudulently trying to obtain a visa, you are not inadmissible.

thanks every comrade that has shared views on this post.

But is the 3-4yrs wait time static and applies like the dvlottery interview?

Certian classes of visas have no limits as a USC and they take about a year to get through the process ( wife/minor child/parent of a USC ) All others there are limits about how many can be issued each year. For my huband to petition his mom will be about a year, for his brother 10 years. For a LPR to petition a spouse it is current a little under 3 years. The exact time varies and you track it by watching the visa bulletin that comes out each month. LPR's can only file for spouses and unmarried children.
When it comes to bans there are time limited ones ( such as overstays ) and "permanent" ones. Some permanent and all time limited ones can be waived if there is enough reason ( usually hardship to a USC ) The ones that can never be waived include claiming to be a USC when you are not and drug dealing. Lying to immigration is a permanent ban that could be waived but it is very hard to get the waiver.
