Oh goodness that doesnt sound promising at all. Im thinking i should just wait it out, and all will be fine, but i m reading otherwise...how long does something like this usually take to get finalized?I feel uncomfrotable abadoning something i spent so much time on but if i will only get lost in nvc hell then i need to think of a new game plan.


Start by contacting your congressman and senator, then book a consultation with a good immigration lawyer. You don't need to necissarilly hire them but maybe just buy an hour so you can pick there brain a bit and see what their next course of action would be.

Think of it this way, it's been over a year since they suggested your petition be revoked, at this point you could have already had the CR1 in hand. Thats a crappy way to think of things but its the truth. sad.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI 29 f sent back for revocation
QUOTE (Leona @ Aug 17 2009, 01:46 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
So me and my fiance had our I 29 f approved and he had to go to the embassy for his interview in May of 2008. He went and they denied it, stating that that our realtionship wasnt bonifide...whatever... so they sent it back.. to USCIS for possible revocation.

So of course im fuming but I know that love will prevail and we will be together. Well it took the nigerain Embassy from may until January of 2009 to send the petition back..very frustratuing but again im patient because im sure it will all work out.

So our petition was sent back and recieved in Vermont in January of 2009 for possible revocation. It is August 16th and I have not head one word from Vermont. I have called many times to put in expedited requests, and my expedited request was denied. I have put in 2 service orders, and they send me a letter saying that they are working on it and sorry for the delay.


What the world can I do to make these people tell me what is going on. It has been 8 months, and its so hard to not know whats going on.


I think your attitude about this is amazing, I'm sure that if I was in the same shoes I would not be near so cool about it.

Here are my suggestions:

1)Consultation with a good lawyer to see what options you have court wise (although I think that would be costly and end up in a denial anyways).
2)Involving your congressmen and senator.
3)Getting married (abandoning the K-1) and filing for a CR-1.

Best of luck to you, stay positive. blush.gif

Edit : Yes missed the previous post, it's very difficult to get an approval once a suggested revocation case has made it'd way back to the US.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresComplicated situation--help!

Nothing that should affect a K-1 visa but I doubt you will be able to visit while you wait. NEVER lie on any form or to any person in an interview.



I read your post that contained the interview. made me feel a lot more relaxed! thank you so much for sharing!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresComplicated situation--help!
I read over it last night. Its a transcript, in which I DO state that my lawyer advised me to not tell them about my boyfriend, and also it says that I am not being deported, but rather withdrawing my application for admission. That is also what it says in my passport "application withdrawn". In the transcript it says "do you understand that for future visits to the US you will have to apply for the proper visa?"

I started on my K-1 paper work the day after I was returned to Canada, and I'm pretty sure its flawless! Of course, just our luck...we sent it Nov 30th, and they changed the fee amount nov 23rd, so we overpaid and it got sent back. The good news is it was sent back in 4 business days! It looks as though its been shuffled through too, so we're going to wait until my fiance comes to visit at Christmas and send it back then.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresComplicated situation--help!

Until she answers the question about signing anything or having some codes stamped in her passport, we don't know if her lie is on record. Being denied entry, in and of itself will not impact the process but a record of misrepresentation is a serious issue impacting US entry for a lifetime.


well, I did sign something, but I have copies of that. The officer is the one that told me to apply for a K-1, and what he told me was that the record shows that I withdrew my application for entry and not that they denied me. They did stamp my passport (which is now my old one, and yes I understand that they will still have a record of that). I'm worried about it for sure, but the officer assured me it would be ok...I just have no idea if he was just saying that? I was completely terrified the whole time and I'm sure I don't recall half of what they said to me. Does anyone have any experience with this? I also explained (on record) that the reason I was untruthful at first was because my lawyer advised me to not say I had a boyfriend/fiance in the US. The officer seemed genuinely trying to help me after we got through it all, but I have no idea....It felt like there was no law and I had no rights.... comments? help?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresComplicated situation--help!
Hi,

We just applied with our I-129F. I'm worried about my special situation and if anyone has any advice or a similar experience.

I went to school in the US, and then applied for an artist visa (O-1) which was denied last December. My boyfriend (now fiance) came out that Christmas and asked me to marry him. We didn't know anything about the K-1 and since I was Canadian I figured I could just go back on a visitors visa. I tried that, and got flagged and interrogated for three hours, and against my better judgment, lied to the officer and denied that the person I was staying with was my boyfriend. They called him upon which he said he was my fiance, and I bet you can guess how that ended. After being printed, photographed, and questioned, ( I had already waited 6 months to see him) they sent me home convinced that I was going to work and live there with him and not just visit. The fact is, I WAS intending to only visit until we figure out how to go about the proper process. At the time, I was totally unaware of proving strong ties to Canada.

I'm worried because they brought up my denied O-1, and because I was sent back (although the record shows it was voluntary on my part). And worse yet, I was so traumatized by the whole thing, that I get really nervous just being in an airport now and I'm worried that will translate into making me look guilty for something later. I'm so scared that we will get denied again, and it will be my fault. Can anyone help me?? We've been apart for over a year now.

thanks,
Gabbi

Because they process many many many other petitions as well? not just fiance(e) petitions and cr-1/ir-1. They do different peitions for different parts of the year, they cant only work on 2-3 kinds of petitions and put all others on the back burner forever. They rotate the petitions they work on to get everything through.

co-sponcer doesnt pay anything its just forms and stuff for INCASE your man ends up trying to get means tested benefits, THEN the co-sponcer has to pay back everything that he gets from means tested benefits because as a green card holder you arent allowed to get any. So like the food stamps, he cant collect thos, and he cant use medicaid etc. Only you can use thos things as the american citizen.

For my interview all the embassy told me was I needed a valid passport - it had to have no less than 6 months left till expiration. I know ebassys are different but i would guess that in general a passport would need to be valid for everyone at the time of their interview.

Is hers still valid? or do they not have expiration dates on theirs from ukrain.

you have to have a letter from the other parent stating they give permission for the child to move and they know the child is moving to the USA. Also need court documents stating the parent intending to take the child has full custody or partial custody with the letter. The child MUST have this letter because USA will not let a child travel without it because of child abduction.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresundercover agent spams?

my fiance is active military,and he most likely WONT get deployed while waiting on our interview date.if we call the embassy and tell em that he might get deployed ( yes yes thats a lie but we all know how hard waiting on the last stages is ) would they check his platoon and all to see if he is telling the truth?



Is this the issue?



If this was the issue, you cant call them and tell them he might deploy, they could give two shits if he " might " deploy. You have to have PHYSICAL proof that he is deploying and they ask YOU for it. They also check his background and can find out that he is not. If you do not have the physical proof of deployment then nothing happens, they dont do anything with your case for expedite. Physical proof would be deployment papers, letter from commander and first shirt. Etc.

Saying he might deploy is not a lie because he might. But trying to use it saying he is deploying when hes not just to get an expedite is a lie and its underhanded. They wont grant it without the proof anyways.

NP, they need current info thats why. If you sent it with I-129f none of the stuff on the form or the evidence you sent would be current. Hence sending it when its after NOA2 and near interview time. Then you can send the most recent paystubs/letter etc.

You need to relax because if you think your not off to a good start already then its going to be bad the whole time for you. It takes a long time to imput things into the computers and go through this whole process. some people hear in 2 weeks some hear in 3 weeks some have taken a month to get their packets in the system. There are volumes and volumes of packets hitting the sorting center, thats why they changed it to dallas. After dallas it gets sent to VSC or CSC. So even then its probably another week being mailed to that center and them logging it in their computers there as well.

You have to get a new green card after the first one ( the one you get from AOS ) that is why ROC has a fee, you are applying for a new card that is 10 years with restrictions removed. Its not just someone to renew your file.


Did the person already leave? and plan to come back for the interview? Did they leave without AP documents if they left?

Do they plan to get the green card and then leave and not come back?
