Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Abandoned I-485
Origional entry was on VWP, they can deny the AOS with no chance to appeal, this right was given up when using VWP to enter the USA.

What further compounds this is the failure to respond to RFE.

The only option at this point is to file an I-130 for a spouse visa, and return to home country for a spouse visa interview, and perhaps be required to file an I-601 for waiver of bar placed for overstay.

Filing another AOS petition will just get another HARD-Denial, there is no appeal of denials of AOS from VWP.

I would be getting a competent lawyer involved.

Section 221(g) Administrative Processing

Apologies, I was in the AP forum and didn't think to post there, seeing cross-eyed now.



Asked for more info directly from consulate and got a form letter:

Dear Sir or Madam:

Thank you for your inquiry.

U.S. law states that every applicant for a nonimmigrant visa is presumed to be an intending immigrant unless he or she can prove otherwise. Visa applicants must demonstrate a residence abroad that they do not intend to abandon by providing credible evidence of sufficiently strong economic, professional, family and social ties that would compel them to leave the United States (U.S) at the end of a temporary non-working stay. Please note that all applicants for non-immigrant visas must qualify on their own merits and cannot rely on the assurances of third parties.

Please note that a supervisory officer has reviewed all denials. Previously refused applicants are welcome to reapply, however they should only do so if there has been a significant change in their situations that may warrant visa issuance.

We hope this information is helpful.

Sincerely,

Blah, Blah, Blah

So you were denied a NON-Immigrant tourist visa?? This is normal in many cases, it will not affect an Immigrant visa petition or interview later for the CR-1 or IR-1 visa.

This will be a NON-Issue.

I like WONKY! Tell me there was an error!


From your scan, it just looks like they simply need to do more processing, perhaps a name check not complete.

This is not a denial, just a delay.

Mmmm, are you sure? 'REFUSAL WORKSHEET & This office regrets to inform you that you have been found ineligible to receive a visa' sounds exactly like a denial to me :(


It looks like "administrative processing-the embassy will call you when it is complete" is part of the section Checked.

is there another box that was cut off in your scan?

You will first start by filing an I-130 for a spouse visa, because this is the only option open to you.

Start here: http://www.visajourn...page=i130guide1

You WILL be dealing with a hard denial at the visa interview, and I am not sure if an I-601 waiver would apply in this case.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Overstay and 10 ban - what can we do
Moving to the I-601 Administrative forum..

K-1 can be tricky due to fiancee not having a marriage bond which would prove to be a hardship on which a waiver may be based.

If it were me in that situation, I would have married before leaving Argentina, and filed an I-130 for a spouse visa.

Anyway keep the K-1 moving through to an interview and see what happens, it is always a possibility that the voluntary exit may be considered.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)How long does it take the USCIS to send NOIR?
NOID is a paper handed out to the beneficiary at the end of a failed interview.

NOIR is a letter sent out to petitioner after they receive back the denied case file from the consulate.

NOIR can take months after a denied visa interview.

NOID first, and then NOIR months later.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)DNA NIghtmare!!
I believe that in order to file a step child the step parent needs to be still married to step child's parent.

But the I-130 instructions are not clear on this. What it says is:

YuAndDanMaleChina2011-01-06 08:08:00
Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)DNA NIghtmare!!

This falls under :
9FAM 40.1 N2.2 NOTES

9 FAM 40.1 N2.2 Stepchild Relationship Under INA
101(b)(1)(B)
(CT:VISA-826; 07-20-2006)
The provisions of INA 101(b)(1)(B) provide for the creation of a step relationship
between the natural offspring (whether or not born out of
wedlock) of a parent and that parent’s spouse. Such step relationship is
created as a result of the marriage of the offspring’s natural parent to a
spouse and must be based on a marriage that is or was valid for all
purposes, including immigration purposes. The offspring must be or have
been under the age of 18 at the time the marriage takes place in order to
acquire the benefits as a child under INA 101(b)(1)(B). No previous meeting
of the offspring and the new parent is required. In addition, if the marriage
between the natural parent and stepparent is still in effect (i.e., the
marriage has not been terminated by divorce or by death of the natural
parent), there is no requirement that an emotional relationship exist
between the stepchild and stepparent.


Also Instructions for I-130 form states the same thing, only not in so much detail.

Note, what is bolded.

Is a lawyer involved? This is a case where a good immigrations attorney may be needed to sort out the details.

This is a case of interpretation of a fine point of immigrations law, which is the domain of lawyers and judges.

You could, however DO NOT ignore a NOIR Notice of Intent to Revoke. A revocation is is serious, it will remain on record and will get any future visa application denied.

Moving to Waiver's and Admin Processing forum...

Is anyones guess, many simply get married, while waiting for USCIS.

USCIS does one of 3 things:

  • Expires and closes the K-1, telling you to try again
  • Reafirms it, sending back to consulate for another interview
  • Revokes it, this may cause problems with future petitions.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Another vaccine waiver...
Why the waiver??

I would simply get the age appropriate vaccinations, and have the I-693 done by a US Civil Surgeon.

What is required: http://www.cdc.gov/i...tions.html#tbl1

1) Yes you would pay a fee for I-601, only I-765, and I-131 have fees waived when filed concurrently with I-485.

2) Typically I-601 requires proof of extreme hardship.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Another vaccine waiver...

Thanks, specifically Tdap, mmr, and varicella. It is the second check box on the first page of the I-601.

You can always get tested for imunity to these diseases, is called a titer test, the US Civil surgeon will accept this in place of vaccinations.

Also USCIS can simply hold approval of AOS pending I-693 record.

My wife simply got re-vacinated in Guangzhou after her K1 interview and got a yellow book which wh had transferred to an I-693:

You will have to wait for USCIS to send you a Notice Of Intent To Revoke and see what they say, and then may have to provide evidence to refute the consulate's findings.

when you think they will send it cuse its at uscis since almost five mounthx now , did you know what the estmate time ???
thanks for your answer and care

yep for some reason it can take a long time for a NOIR to happen after a denied visa interview.

In K-1 cases one of three things will happen.
  • USCIS feels the consulate is unfounded in denial, they will reaffirm petition and send back for another interview, sending you a letter they did this.
  • USCIS decided to administratively close the petition, considers it expired, they send letter stating to try another petition either get married or try another K-1
  • USCIS sees the inadmissibility and revokes the petition, this is the BAD one, you need to address the revocation with evidence, I would get a good lawyer involved with this. Perhaps someone like Marc Ellis

Thanks.

Nope, they leave that up to USCIS to do.

USCIS sends petitioner a letter (NOIR)

Typically at visa interview, the beneficiary gets a sheet explaining what happened.

Someone asked NVC/DOS about a denial and this is a thread about it posted yesterday.

If nothing returned then when USCIS eventually gets file back, a request for the documents can be made, by filing G-884
