HyZ Interview Experience

Hello everyone, my interview was February 22 at 6 am. My So and I arrived to the embassy at 5 am and the line started moving at 6:15 am. Once we were inside, we sat down for about an hour, so at 7 am my SO was called by name to window 21.

The lady asked my SO the following questions:
What is your name?
Have you ever been married?
Do you have any children?

Then she gave us #131. We sat back down and at about 10:30, my SO was called to get his fingerprints. At around 12 pm, we were called to window 25. The officer looked fairly young, White, and had glasses. He greeted us and started to question us:

To my SO:
What is your name?
Sign your name and your fiancee's name on this form.

To me:
What is your name?
Are you a U.S. citizen?
Let me see your passport.

If you all remember, I posted a while ago that my SO had been detained in Puerto Rico when he was 17. Well, obviously the officer knew this and we had written it down on the forms anyway. So, after he asked my SO to sign his and my name on the form he said to my SO:

"I see here that you went to Puerto Rico in 2003. Explain how you went there." So my SO told him how everything happened and the officer asked him several questions about the situation. The officer told us to give him a minute, and he got up to ask another officer something. When he came back to the window, he told us:

"Unfortunately, we cannot approve this case. There is nothing we can do now, except to send this case back to Immigration. Wait for a letter from immigration." My SO and I started crying and just hugged each other.

I asked if there was anything we can do, and he said no, just wait for the letter. So basically,

We Were Denied....

When the officer handed us the yellow sheet, the part about Section 212 (a) (6) (c), was checked off,but I don't remember if the next letter was (i) or (ii). Also the part about waiting for a letter from immigration.

Going into this process, I knew that we were going to have an issue with that, but I had faith in God that everything would be ok, since I went to a lawyer and he said that my SO did not need a pardon or a waiver because he was under age at the time. I did not worry about it. I don't know what to do now, or if there even is anything we can do. We feel devastated.

I know that mostly everyone here on this site gets approved, and I am pretty sure that if the interview was based on our relationship, we would have been approved because our relationship is real. But, unfortunately the officer did not ask one question about our relationship. It was not a happy experience, but I wanted to post anyway, in case anyone in the future might be in the same situation.
