CR1 Denied last year

[gwendolyn40 3]

This question has been lingering on my mind ...I have wanted to ask this question as what I have read from different sites and here were confusing...can we just refile an I-130 after the first case was denied due to abandonment not having to respond to RFE? or what is the correct process?

This was the set up...my husband decided to stay with me while the petition is pending. He filed Jan 26, 2011 - NOA1 march 6, 2011. Came here March 20, 2011 until SEpt. 29,2011. WE received a RFE letter from USCIs dated May 31st but we received it July 29, 2011 and the letter stated we should respond before July 14,2011. So we decided not respond to that then on Sept. 11, 2011 we received a letter of denial. The requested evidence was they want a legible copy of the death certificate of my first husband.

So we decided not to file an appeal as we learned it has no guarantee and would only take months and years as "they said ".

I hope someone can enlighten this as it makes me nervous about our case.

You can just refile. No problem with the previous abandonment.
