USCIS Service CentersPetition is back at USCIS

The consulate emailed me and they gave me the dipolmatic pouch number. I called all over america, it is just a big waste of money maybe them sending it back will be good, but I think it will just hurt us more. They say we had not been together long enough you know. So tell me how do you defend this.

hello there my name is ella i just get a email from morocco telling me that they sent our k-1 back with a dipolmatic pouch number back in april....my question is.. do you know what that means????dipolmatic pouch number....is it something bad or what...can you explain it to me or is it nothing to worry about....i just want to understand what it means ...thank you ella... im new with all this immigration stuff ...ii think they ant you to send in more proof of relationship..thats what i had to do......



WOW, they returned your case are you in the Desert Rose Group?? You where temporary denied and tehy do not believe you have a valid relationship. Please PM me. Let me know if you in the DR2 Group and did you get anything asking for information. My fiance and I are just going to forget it and do what we want. The process right now is crazy, they take a long time and on top of this they seem to not care. They gave you the Dipolmatic Pouch number so you can call this guy and he can tell you where your case is? Please look for support and email me. If you need. If you are okay then ok.

USCIS Service CentersPetition is back at USCIS

Hey......

My husband had his interview today and he was issued a 221(g), it said they were sending the petition back to the States. I called the congressmens office today and I had my husband fax over the form he got, and them I faxed it to their office along with a hand written note and the approval notice. I am about to email the consulate in casablanca and see what type of reply I can get. I dont know if I can make it a whole year..... I have to know what to do next.... even if it means relocate.......

Will emailing them do any good?

Thank for any advice.....

I have received your paperwork in the mail. It does look like they have all of the information that they need, they are just reviewing it again. I have emailed the Vermont Service Center again to try to find out why this review has taken place and to find out if they could provide a tentative time line. I will let you know as soon as I have an answer.
please give your responce to this...can she get things done faster and bring my baby home to me.......?????

Your timeline indicates your I-129F Fiance visa petition was approved last year and you already had an interview.

What happened at the interview?
Why is the congressman's office trying to get information from the USCIS service center - they only process petitions and yours was already approved.

There must be more to your story like your fiance was put on Administrative Review as is fairly normal in Morocco. Perhaps you should post in the regional forum and tell the complete story to get some assistance.

Good luck.

he went to his first interview he did ok but they didnt believe our relationship was real so they gave him a 221g letter then i recieved a letter asking to send in more proof of our on going relationship..they recieved it and sent me back a letter saying they would give me a disicion in 60 days..60 days has come and gone many times now and i have been on the phone to them many times and they give me many 30 days..im tired of waiting these days it will be 2 years in april that i have been waiting for a disicion...what is this Administrative review can you explain to me better ????thank you Ella

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures221g Temporary Visa Denial
QUOTE (Eddies gal @ Nov 15 2007, 10:53 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I'm the mother of a daughter that has been fighting the Embassy in India. She has been trying for 3 yrs to get her husband here.
They met on the internet 4 yrs ago.
She went to India 2 yrs ago to meet him and get engaged.
She then came back and filed for a fiance visa. She went through all the expense and time to do this. After 10 months the USA ok'd it and sent it to the Embassy in India. After an interview was done 2 months later.. it was denied for lack of proof of a true relationship.
So, she went back this year in March. She married him and had to leave him 4 weeks later to come back to the states.
She then filed for spousal visa. The USA ok'd it again in September of this year. The papers were sent to India again.
My daughter left for India to be there when her husband had his interview.
He had his interview yesterday. They denied him again saying he would get his visa but they had to do a security check first.
We are all thinging they are just giving my daughter and her husband the run around.
Does anyone know of anything that would make a difference.
My daughter is still in India and will be there till Nov.26th.
Please help.
hello there, i was reading your story here.....it sounds like they will do a security check....i had this done with my fiance...we waited one week and then they called him back and they granted him his visa that same day....ask her to wait one week and see if they contact him again.....good luck to you.......

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionWE GOT OUR VISA!!!!

My fiance and I received our visa 5 months and 4 days after the initial filing. His interview was April 4. He was called a week later to come and pick up his visa. There is a lot of red flag talk on the mena forum. We did not have any red-flags except that we had known each other less than a year. I met him 5 months after initially meeting online. We decided to do an engagement party on my next visit two months later. We are the same age. Both divorce with child/children. Had been divorced at least 4 1/2 years prior. He is employed. I never sent him money. We had plenty of proof of relationship. He spoke english fluently. Had prior visas. Had never been arrested, he he. His name is not the normal name, that surely helped us with security clearance.

Any other information can be found on our timeline. Good luck to all those applying or waiting. (L) (L) (L) (L) (L)

THANK YOU SO MUCH ELLA




Hi Ella,

I am chi and I want to help you. Our case was returned in March of 05 and my husband is now here with me. Sometimes it is difficult to find those whose cases have been returned to USCIS.

It is true that since your case was returned to USCIS that now you are in a waiting time. Once USCIS reviews the reasons the CO refused to issue a visa, you will get a letter from them. You did receive a letter but you did not say what the letter said. Can you tell me what it said? You mentioned you did send in the proof already. (I am hoping it was just copies.) Did the letter request proof?

In the meantime, keep collecting proof of your relationship to offer up as evidence when the time comes. Your senator/congressman can call the USCIS office and get an update. Ask them to do this.

A few more questions.

When was the second interview?

Do you have any of the "red flags" that may have been the reson your case was returned.

Hang in there, it is going to take time to get all of this resolved.

chi

hello chi...sept 13,05 my fiance had first interview he thought it went well then they handed him this letter 221g which it didnt say it was denied but was getting sent back for further review..when i got the letter it asked me to send more proof of relationship...it that in his interview that they thought he only wanted to come over for immigration purposes...i wrote and told them thats not true at all and that our love was real and sent everything to prove that we were in love....but not knowing how to send it back to them..i sent in another k-1 with it...so casa has second k-1 and waiting for the original to come back to them..i have a congress lady helping me now to find out what taking vermont so long to make a desicion its been almost a year now that they have had the first k-1 in there hands...did you have to wait a very long time for you to get you fiance home with you????i have done everything they asked me to do now im just waiting for answers.....thank you so much for your kind words...ella

My mind is entirely boggled by all of your posts.

Why did you file a second I-129F application when they told you that the visa had not been denied and that they just needed more relationship proof?

I suspect that filing a second petition for the same person while the first was still processing post interview greatly complicated the entire situation and I have no idea what to tell you except to contact a senator to try to help you (since your congressman clearly hasn't helped).

i sent in the second k-1 only because i didnt know that when i sent in the proof ....im so new at this and had no one to ask....

Hello Ella, I am sorry your fiance received a 221g. However I am confused because you say that the K-1 was approved.... if you have received a 221g stating it was under further review, that means it wasnt approved and more than likely sent back to your service center. Administrative review and administrative processing is different. When Samir went for his interview, he was in administrative processing for 2 weeks while they did the last security checks. This is in Algeria, so it may take longer in Morocco. It sounds like to me you might want to call your senator or congressman, and fill out a form so they can inquire about your case. Calling the USCIS is a waste of time really. I was impatient and tired of waiting and called my senators office who fortunately is Elizabeth Dole and got approved 2 days later. Try that and see if it helps.
Best of luck,
Shannon

hello shannon, i never gotten any kind of letter stating that i was denied..just for further review...i do have a congress lady helping me now..she is waiting to hear from vermont..there not responding to her either..but im sure she knows something i dont to get them to answer her....hopefully we will hear something soon...thank you so much...ella :dance:

No, Chi. I'm the one who asked you some questions in June/July and never really got them answered. I'm in nobody's group. I was in some Moroccan group on yahoo for a while, but that's about it. I'm the one who's interview e-mail got to somebody else's mail box from that group.

And my husband's been on AP since February 2006.

Well, Ella. I can't speak about k-1 visa. Basically, we're behind you in filing a couple of month. But the same sh... happened to us. I didn't re-file for K-3, still waiting for somebody to do something. I'm in contact with the Congress Woman's office as well as Senator's office - doesn't help much.

Tried calling DOS - got only 'all representatives are busy, call back again later" after staying on the phone for a while.

In February it'll be a year since 221(g). VISA PROCESS SUCKS!!! ::blink: :( :girlwerewolf2xn: :cry: :clock: :ranting:

Piecing together her various posts, the visa was (temporarily) denied, given 221g regarding validity of relationship and ultimately case was returned to USCIS . . . so they are not stuck in security checks and the case has been sitting at Vermont.


If your case was indeed denied and not just pending security checks, you need to contact Chiquita or Kiya by sending a PM to them via visajourney. I don't know Kiya but I have heard she is very helpful and I have known a few people that Chi has helped. Good luck.

thank you so much......no we were not denied...just was given letter of 221g and told our case was being sent back for further review.....but vermont is taking so long for this process and casa is waiting for them to sent it back to grant my fiance his visa ...ella

I am just curious how you filed 2 k1 petitions? Did you close the 1st one? I heard that filing another petition while having one open will automatically cancel both petitions. My fiance was denied in April 2006 and I am still waiting on Vermont to send me a notice, until then I am not making any new moves.

hello ..all i was doing was sending back my proof of relationship but not knowing i sent in another application with it...it didnt cancel them.....vermont is very slow these days...good luck...

I just received this information. I will be able to check the status of your case.



Hello,



The processing of the I-129F consular return is still pending with an officer. This office is experiencing a backlog and apologizes for the delay. Our office processes these cases as our resources and priorities allow. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide a definite indication for when the officer will be able to review this matter. You may wish to periodically check on the case status.

That's fantastic news !!!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

Normally a K-1 means a quick trip through NVC.... insha'allah it will only be a matter of a few weeks before Casa gets the case back and sets you up for a new interview.

I am so happy for you both.... Way To Go !!!! :dance: :thumbs: :yes:

(F)

-MK


Actually with a reaffirmed petition, it skips the NVC altogether and goes directly to the consulate along with a recommendation to issue a visa! It can take about 4 weeks or so before Casa will call him with his new interview date.

I'm soooooo happy and excited for you Ella!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

Exactly how long has VSC had this returned petition? I'm asking because there are so many I know of out of VSC waiting on word of their returned K1 petition...waiting longer than 6-8 months.

(F) ~Kiyah~ (F)

kiyah......they have had my petition since april 14,2006 almost a year now about 10 months i would say...ok thank you so much



OH I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU. (I do not give this out often.) :whistle: I remember you where in a panic can you tell us what you did. :help: Did you write a letter or just send somethings in to them. I am so happy for you and how that everything goes great with you and your fiance. :D Girl you have waited a long time.

Normally a K-1 means a quick trip through NVC.... insha'allah it will only be a matter of a few weeks before Casa gets the case back and sets you up for a new interview.

I am so happy for you both.... Way To Go !!!! :dance: :thumbs: :yes:

(F)

-MK


Actually with a reaffirmed petition, it skips the NVC altogether and goes directly to the consulate along with a recommendation to issue a visa! It can take about 4 weeks or so before Casa will call him with his new interview date.

I'm soooooo happy and excited for you Ella!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

Exactly how long has VSC had this returned petition? I'm asking because there are so many I know of out of VSC waiting on word of their returned K1 petition...waiting longer than 6-8 months.

kiyah......they have had my petition since april 14,2006 almost a year now about 10 months i would say...ok thank you so much

This is VERY good news Ella. Yes, they will interview him again, so be prepared for them to ask to speak to you, make sure he tells them you are there...he can even take your passport inside with him to prove you are there.

I know you probably know all of this, but take ALL of your evidence of relationship inside with you, including what they already have, and everything between now and the reaffirmation. Try to think of ANYTHING they will ask for and bring it with him to the interview. Insh'allah everything will be fine. I'm praying for you both!

(F) ~Kiyah~ (F)

hello kiyah,thank you so much, i wont be there with him... last year when i did go with him they didnt even let me in the front door....


Ok, since you can't be there may I suggest some things that will help? If you have emails, letters, copies of phone bills between him and your family, make sure he has a copy of them with him. Also, if your family has a good relationship with him it is a good idea for them to write letters to the consulate attesting to your relationship with him and the relationship they have with him...if this isn't something you provided in your rebuttal, it will really help. Letters from his family and friends who know you both as a couple are also good. I know time is short, but if you can swing the letters to the consulate from your families, I would send them directly to the consulate as well as have him take copies of these letters to the interview.

Letters from family/friends to the consulate should have the following as they would be treated like an affidavit:
  • Name, address, date and place of birth of the person writing the letter.
  • Relationship to petitioner and beneficiary.
  • Notarized signature (not required, but a good idea if it is possible).
Just make sure he is well prepared to provide everything possible. I really wish you luck, and will be praying for you both.

kiyah, i think they have everything they need at this point...both k-1s are together like they wanted, they only asked ahmed to renew his medical and police reports....so i think we will be all set....they have all that with the last k-1 i sent( for that one was all the proof)i really think we will be ok this time....


Good...I am glad you have everything you need, I am sure you'll be fine! You know me...sometimes I'm just overkill :blush:

(F) ~Kiyah~ (F)

hello my friend, i understand completely....you have been very good to me and i know you want us to make sure we have everything done that is needed...believe me im making sure he has that too ....for i want more than anything to get this visa this time...waiting close to 2 years is long enough for anyone........... :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :dance: :dance:

Middle East and North AfricaShould I get my hopes up!

Yeah, I didn't think the "guy at the desk" could make decisions this is why I am tyring not to get too excited...LOL but Yassine did tell me he was American...who knows???



I think everything is looking very good for a quick call. By the way Yassine is an Arabic name but if his last name is Moroccan, I doubt there will lbe many hits if any.

Oh gosh, now I am feeling excited for you too. There is no call like it in the world and you will where you were when you get it!

My fiance just had his interview the 5th of april and got a letter of 221g saying that your case requires administrative processing, we will call you as soon as we can to continue with your case......Does this mean that they are doing security checks on my fiance at this time....when he left they told him they would call him this week to come back into casa.......does that mean he will get visa this week ?? or are they just going to ask him to bring his passport in and still wait another week???? does any one know how this works........thank you ella
