I-129F Expired/Filed i-130 What to Expect

[bluewho 2]

Hello VJ family,have a little concern and hope someone can put it to rest; in 2010 i filed i-129f for my finance who is in Ja. We went for the interview in September 2010. Even though the IO stated everything is okay, he didn't grant us the visa, instead he asked if my fiance has ever applied for a visitor's visa before, we answered "yes", IO then asked when- my fiance could not recall the time (it was over 25 years ago), plus that passport was expired and he now had a new passport. The IO stated he will just need to check on the time frame that the visitor's visa application was made, then he will call my fiance to come in with his passport to get his visa (he took my fiance#),he gave him a blue sheet- which had the "administration processing" box checked and said he would call within 5 days. I came back to the states, he never got a call, weeks turns into months, i called the consulate in Ja and they told me, i need to call USCIS because the file was sent back to USCIS. I called USCIS, they stated they never received the file. I eventually opened two service requests, never received a follow up from either of them. We decided to get married, we did on 3/19/2011. I filed i-130 on Feb. 2012. Currently i am now awaiting an interview date (hope it's soon). Anyways about 3 to 4 weeks ago, i received a letter from USCIS indicating that they have closed the i-129f without prejudice, because the time as expired. Now will this have any negative impact on the i-130 interview? BTW, I was married twice before, 2nd marriage lasted 17 years- however this will be my now husband first marriage. First person i ever petitioned for a visa to enter the USA, or anything of that sort. I am so anxious for this to be over, so we can begin living our lives together. i have traveled to JA at least 11 times to be with my husband, plan on going for the interview. Do i have anything to worry about from the i-129f interview or is the i-130 treated separately? Thanks

Getting married was not the solution to the problem as to why the K1 visa was not issued. The same problem you'll had regarding the missing information for a pior vistor visa will be the same problem you'll will have for the spouse visa.

Lettinh the K1 expire will have no ill effect on the spousal visa application. But you'll have not solve your inital problem.

LifeJourney, i didn't say or think getting married was a solution. As a matter of fact, we figured out what the issue was: the first window my fiance went to, the lady who checked his paperwork told him not to give the IO any documents until he asked for it, so that was exactly what happened, the IO never asked so no supporting documents were shown; and believe me we were prepared, we had all the pictures, and documentations, affidavits, etc. In additional, the blue form didn't indicated "missing documented." Through the VJ site, i have learned quite a lot, in fact we are getting much better prepare. WE WILL SHOW ALL OUR DOCUMENTS AND/OR FIND WAYS TO INTERJECT THEM FOR VIEWING. As i have stated before, the IO reviewed all the paperwork that was sent to them, as well and clearly stated everything is in order and good.Make sense now?

What was the findings of the missing vistor visa application, did you find out why this information allowed your K1 petition to be sent back to USCIS.

The consular saw something, which didn't allow them to offer him a visa at that time.

Based on the first post in this thread, I agree that the initial failure in the K1 process had something to do with the previous visa application. If the truth was told all those years ago, it should be no problem now. Unless the documents you are wanting to submit have something to do with the actual reason for the initial failure, they won't solve whatever that problem was.

I have made many calls to USCIS, opened service requests and to date, i have not being given a reason, every representative at USICS whom i have spoken to, have told me they don't see any anything on the file other than the petition was approved. Only one rep told me that its a strong possibility that the IO was not convinced; especially since we showed him no prove.

oh, I just recalled too, that several months after the interview, my fiance received a letter with the 221((g) reason; missing information, but it didn't say what was missing.

The documents i wanted to submit was only relevant to the i-129f interview. he was not granted the visitor's visa because he was told he didn't have enough ties to prove he would return to JA. Even with a thriving business then. He was not married/no kids, very religious persons.

So to answer your question "what to expect" expect that this topic may arise at your CR1 interview, Only your husband and the CO will know the answers to the questions or missing information,

Good luck on your journey.

I'm not sure why you think an answer to the reasons WHY the first visa was denied, are what is going to help you. I expect they wanted to review for themselves, the visa application to determine for themselves why, AND whether there were any misrepresentation of facts in the actual application.

I simple asked a question or posed a concern that i have- at this point thanks for your responses, no further responses is required.

Just for the record--THERE WAS NO MISINTERPRETATION OF FACTS SUBMITTED IN MY I-129F.AND NONE IN MY I-130.

Good. I mentioned the possibility of some misrepresentation in the initial visa application filed many years ago, not your current process. You don't know and it sounds like your spouse doesn't remember.
