Our petition was sent back to the USCIS. I was already interviewed in the US embassy in Manila but my case fall under administrative processing of the embassy. So they gave me a piece of paper (221g form) telling me to wait till I hear from them. After many months of waiting (ofcourse we keep follow-up our case) they denied our application and sent it back to the USCIS. The reason was "Failed to establish a bonafide relationship to the petitioner". The CO was not satisfied of our relationship though during my interview I was loaded with proofs and documents. But its a case to case basis. Our case is kind of an unusual.

Hi.. How long did you wait for the result after they sent it back to USCIS? Did you still follow up in the US embassy after USCIS received your case or you just made the follow up directly to USCIS? I have not called the embassy yet after the interview last March but we have called USCIS many times since they received our papers there last May. Also,my passport was given back to me on the same day of my interview. But on your case, what did you do?

In our case, I still have 2 open k1 petitions during my interview thats why they sent it back to USCIS. Do you know when do petitions expire? We were thinking that the first petition's(2009) expired already or not yet unless its being cancelled?

We didn't call US embassy in Manila since then, and we didn't bother to call the USCIS as well. My hubby came over here in the philippine and we got married. I received my passport back one month after they sent it back to the USCIS. As what I have read k1 visa expires after one year from the approval (NOA2) date. If the embassy denied your visa they sent it back to USCIS, they will review the application back and the USCIS could approve it again and send it back to the embassy for another interview, or deny/revoke the application. If they deny/revoke it, the petitioner will received NOIR/NOID. There are some cases that the application stays long in the USCIS and reaches the expiration date, and the USCIS will send a letter to the Petitioner telling him that his application is already expired but he can re-apply again (do the whole k1 process all over again) but still there is no guarantee that you will pass this time.

In my understanding, any petition that a petitioner applied in USCIS, either denied/revoked or expired, when the petitioner receive a letter, he must reply to the letter telling them his plan about the application. Its either continue the process, do the process all over again, or withdraw the petition. Abandoned petition must be canceled by the petitioner even it was expired to make it closed. Any petition with no formal letter of withdrawal from the peptitioner will remain active in the USCIS system even its expired.
