Most of you know that Tuyen and I have going through this process for almost 3 years. We were DELAYED after filing for a CR1/IR1 back in AUG 2007. We then filed for a K3 petition and got another DELAY in NOV 08.

The USCIS received our returned petition from our CR1/IR1 in DEC 07. After one and a half years we finally get to rebut our CR1/IR1 case. :dance:

Congrats.

I have noticed something rather it be a K1, K3, or CR1 once Ho Chi Minh denys it they will not approve a visa until USCIS has done something with the first visa either expire it, reverse it and send it back, or whatever. That does bother me a little bit since I dont think my visa will expire before her interview in a year from now so they might deny it just because the K1 has not been expired.

Bryon, don't forget that a K-1 visa petition will expire 4 months after it has been approved by NVC! So your fiancee's K-1 visa will surely expire by the time your wife (now) is set for CR1 interview.

It scares me a bit from seeing what happened to Kevin_Tuyen in the first place: they applied for a CR1 visa & still got denied!!! Good luck to you Kevin_Tuyen & hope you guys will make it together.

Thats true it does expire but they officially have not expired it by sending out a notification and if it takes them a year to do that I could be in for some trouble.

I think there is a misconception I always thought when a visa returns that doesn't expire you appeal it if you win the appeal it goes back to the consulate for another interview if you lose the appeal the lifetime ban kicks in. I think that it is 2 seperate processes now. If you lose the appeal you can just refile with rebuttle information that does not mean the ban kicked in and in most cases this is very hard to overturn or win your appeal that is why most people refile instead of appeal. If it ever goes to NOID then you rebutt it and if you lose that she gets banned but the NOID is easy to avoid or win you case to avoid a lifetime ban.
