ORIGINAL POSTER
More of a nervous post. I'm going tomorrow for my non O marriage under consideration stamp. I've never heard of it and I've never been denied before. But what if it is denied? Do you just refile the paperwork? Or have to do a border run?

Someone told me they don't deny these for the marriage visas. Unless it's like a blatantly fake marriage or something.

Under consideration means you be fine

They don't get denied unless you're not actually married. Just part of the process, all marriage goes through under consideration period.
