Sorry to hear that, I already replied another one of your topic when you got the blue slip, saying you should get a VISA to Vietnam *now*. If you can find time to go there and submit extra evidence to your case by yourself, I suggest you should do it now. Nobody can guarantee its result, but the email you got is a notice of intent to return the paperwork. This looks exactly the same as my friend's case. He should have been more proactive, but he was counting on John McCain to help him (lol).

It doesn't matter if you decide to get married a file for IR/CR1, if your I-129F got denied by USCIS, it may look really bad on your fiancee's record, so do not let it be denied. Once the paperwork got sent back, you are looking at more than 1 year, doesn't matter what you do.

Can some one please explain what the IR/CR1 petition is? My K-1 case was rejected and is in the process of being sent back. I need help.

Brian

There is no right or wrong answer. This is a perfect example of why you should be there for the interview if possible. The only way to get in to see them is to show up. They may or may not let you. Most that I have read about demanded to see somebody.

The CR1 is for couples that have been married for less than 2 years. The IR-1 more than 2 years. There have been couples that have been denied the K-1 that have successfully petitioned for a K-3 or CR/IR1. Many are or have been members here.

This is the perfect execution of a CR/IR1 visa:

I think he said that his petition weighed 40 lbs. He covered anything and everything.

BUMP any more suggestions. I have emailed Ellis so see if he will give a suggestion or not. More input please.....

You wait. It is unfortunate. Wait for Mr. Ellis. I still don't understand why Vietnam has so many issues.

Note:

Please fill out I-130, wait 6 months for approval, then 3 more months for an interview. (Unless of course we've bombed your country into the stone age, then you qualify for expedited processing.)

Dress up nicely, go to the consulate and spend the whole day(s) waiting to meet the interviewer to present any evidence that he/she did not look at. If they tell you to go home and wait for an appointment, explain your situation, stay put and beg to see the interviewer for just 5 minutes. Stay there until they close! You can only have reason to meet a consular officer if you bring something *new*. Just simply ask to keep the paperwork there won't do any good. My friend tried that. Look at the reasons for denial, see if you can dig up more evidence to response to that. Be prepared to answer the exact same question that they asked your fiancee. The paperwork is only there for a short time before being sent back to the US.

Bring all your fiancee paperwork in case they approve on the spot!
