He refused to look at it and he said my wife was manifested to go to cuba which would be impossible due to the embargo. My wife was also in china with me. He refused to look at any of our documentation even though we had everything required, He said our case is frozen and my wifes 2 yr green card which was extended by 1 more year is expiring in july. Now we have to get a lawyer to fight this prick of an officer.
What happened during the 1st interview?

Default 1st interview

Our first interview went fine, brought required documents, The officer asked how we met and made sure we had health insurance and that was it. 45 minutes and we were on our way. Do not know what happen to 2nd interview. Officer lied so much I might pursue perjury charges since he is a sworn officer.

Maybe you and your spouse had no matching answers without you being aware. Or answers tat didn't match prior filled out on the paperwork.

I guess you need to hire a lawyer.

I was given a notice right after my interview with ticked boxes of extra requirements I need. My wife is an American citizen and SA citizen, but the American consulate are asking for financial support from somebody in America and that persons' tax returns....I really don't know why this is necessary if we have assets to sell and retirement money etc.

So I was not denied, but still need extra documentation.

Assets to sell is not having assets right now and not of any value until they are sold.

Some items are hard to sell and they are not in the business of evaluating what a property is worth or if it can be sold easily or if there is a clouded title or more.

You'll get the approval notice in a few weeks and the green cards a few weeks after that.

My spouse is not a US citizen; we did the GC interview 2 years ago (coming up on conditional GC expiration!) and the interview literally took 10 mins. The interviewer was very professional and basically assured us that she can tell within a few mins if more questioning/follow-up will be needed. So in this case I think not having a lot of feedback was a good thing. I don't really remember if she asked us any questions; mostly just went through the file quickly to verify high level details.

For what it's worth, we didn't hire a lawyer for this process. I used to be a lawyer, (not an immigration one though), and we were just really careful about filling out the paperwork, dotting all the 'i's', etc. My approach through the whole process has been to err on the side of providing them too much paperwork/evidence in the filings rather than too little. I'm not sure what your situation is, but the documents are pretty clear that anything that tips them off to the possibility of your relationship not being 'bona fide' (existing for purposes of defrauding the immigration system) will be grounds for further investigation and possibly denial.
