two year ago , I had an cute nice girl friend we love each other ,last year I won Dv lottery green card , we get marriage and send document to kcc ,

last week we had an interview in Ankara ,

officer inquest us for 2 hours , we had very hard time ,

he asked every thing ,like

when did you meet , where did you meet ,

at the end he said I don’t accept your marriage , you had shame marriage ,while I love my wife

even after we provide many documents ,he give me an blue paper and told me you need to divorce to stay in process a dv visa

At the end of interview he said if you love her you can apply after getting the green card ,

Its kill 3 years of our time during this process he ask us to be a part what can I do

Its just blowing up a family take it apart

Please any advice is appreciated
 
If the officer suspected fraud, then both of you would have gotten a permanent visa ban... Not an ultimatum. Something's not right.
 
if he want to reject us why he didn't reject in first place ,
he said you need to get divorce, when you received a green card you can apply for your wife
also he provide his email address
im still confuse what happened after i got the divorce
any advise appreciated

I am sorry, yet this unfortunately does not make much sense: just assume for a second you were to divorce your wife, in this case you would not be able to sponsor her once you personally have obtained LPR status. Something is not quite right, possibly a language issue?
 
Almost feels like a bluff. If I were told that by a CO, I would make one hell of a fuss because a) it is crazy and b) I am MARRIED. However, if you say that to someone and they don't make a fuss, it shows they aren't too "married" - perhaps confirming the suspicion.

Yeah, I initially thought about including an (somewhat inappropriate) joke in my earlier post, yet then decisively decided against it, given that he was being uncertain about the whole situation...
I believe the best advice to give would be to go back, in person or in writing, and to clarify the situation once and for all, ideally in local Turkish, if this was not the language used during the interview? What do you think?

Yep agreed.

His work email address at the consulate?

This makes no sense to me.

I don't really buy the "bluff" argument, there are a lot of places people just don't argue with those in a position of some authority or power, which (even if you westerners disagree) a CO is one.

Well OK - so to get a visa would someone who is genuinely married get a divorce. No. So - unless there is a language confusion, the only sensible reaction a truly married person would have is "no I am not getting divorced. so give us both the visas or stick it where the sun doesn't shine". CO or not - that would be a pretty universal reaction (sun reference excluded perhaps).

Actually no I don't think so. I don't claim to know how many Turks would react - but I do know where I come from many people would exactly just back down and then ask all their friends what to do.

The problem for me is this sounds like such a strange scenario to begin with - it makes no sense.

Technically, he could re-marry her later.
Maybe when they did "send document to kcc", they did not add the derivative, so there is only one visa allocated to the case. And this was the only solution that an inexperienced CO could come up with.

COs are never inexperienced. Also US Embassy can either put you on AP, accept or reject, not give you options. A lot of people marry after being selected. The OP should have just said sorry my marriage is worth more to me than a US Green Card. Although I highly doubt this ever happened.
 
Cricky, like simon would say!!!
My wife as a main applicant was heavily pressurized about our marriage, although we were married 3 years before the interview, and we had 2 kids them!!!
The co made me feel like I had a strong faje marriage.... whatsoever.... so the op case doesnt sound as a "big" bluff to me!!!
Unless his hiding some other details ...

Did they ask you to get divorced? Obviously you both convinced them your marriage was genuine ;)

The first point in response was valid. COs do not ask people to get divorced to issue a visa. They issue, put them on AP to check the marriage, or deny outright (possibly with a ban on entry) if they think the marriage is fraudulent. There is something very odd about this report/ CO.
 
we were in embassy , with no marriage ring ,
i know we couldn't convince them we had genius marriage ,
they inquest us for 2 hours ,
after all , he said sorry , you are going to use someone else visa for your wife (because the limitation on number of visa for each country )
i insist i love my wife , he told me you can still stay in process , but you need to send divorce document , you can apply after you got your green card for your wife .
and it takes 18 months ,he leaves the contact email address ,told me if you have any question let me know ,we said bye ,
after 10 min another officer come back handed me a blue paper of incomplete document marked for divorce section ,
and AP processing ,
do we receive a visa ?
do i receive a visa , can i still apply for my wife later ?
or we just rejected ,
its horrific
any help appreciated

Just a simple question, as you seem to be rather distraught: did you read any of the responses you received to your earlier post?
