K1 visa denied section 221(g)

[Dave_Thao 0]

October 2006 my fincee's visa was denied and sent back to the states to USCIS California. (arrived 2-06-07) The consular denied her because there were only 2 letters and 1 trip to Vietnam and said our relationship was a sham. After the denial, I have made another trip to Vietnam. The consular ignored all the emails,phone records and other evidence of communication I had in my document package. I don't know what to do next or what to expect.

Ouch, I hear that a lot from Vietnam. I wonder how many other countries are that way?

How can someone judge the nature of love when all the sages of all time are still just as stupefied as me. Tough call, probably a tough job too. I can imagine crushing peoples' love day after day is pretty depressing.

Sorry to hear that. Keep trying, I know you will!

Dave,

Was her visa denied or was she given the paper for section 221(g) stating that she could be approved pending she show more proof? She had her interview then, right?

I'm sorry and I hope you're able to make this right!

After her first interview Oct 6 2006 the consulate requested more proof of a relationship. My fiancee submitted to consulate a timeline on how we met,when I proposed, when and where the engagement ceromony took place and emails and phone records. All that on top of the evidence in my packet 3.They ignored all that evidence and sent the paperwork back to USCIS with the recommondation it be revoked. I am wondering how I can pull this petition and start over or do I wait and see what USCIS says?

Dave_Thao,

E-mails, phone records, and all the communication in the world may be evidence of a relationship, but not necessarily evidence of a bona fide relationship.

Scam artists excel at communications.

The problem is that your fiancee is not convincing about why she wants to marry you.

There is a pinned section at the top of the MENA forum dealing with how to handle a petition when it is returned to USCIS. You will find a lot fo good information from peope who have been through this process. Many have their petition reaffirmed and resent to the consulate. K1s are a little more difficult than the K3s and this is discussed there.

Good Luck

It is starting to seem like the COs are taking a hard look at the number of visits and length of relationship...

Well we are going into our interview with just one visit, and brief at that. Not Vietnam of course, but I would think that not everyone can afford to jet set across the globe repeatedly, nor can everyone who happens to love another from half way around the world drop everything and spend the time they might desire with their SO.

I had in incredibly hard time leaving, and had wanted to visit J for a very long time. Not at all sure what I would do in your position, and sincerely hoping the same fate does not await us.

I sincerely hope that you can turn this around, and either get this petition back on track or drop it and start another. Good luck to you!

don't quit on what u have started already!! If the LOVE is real for each other go for it! Think of an alternative or the next step to pursue the case and the relationship! Goodluck to both of u!!!!

Thanks for all your replies. I have decided to submit an IMBRA waiver and hopefully start a new I129-F. I am in the process of finding a good lawyer who has experience with HCMC Consulate to help me through the process because Thao and I don't want to make the same mistakes over again.

Thanks and I will keep posting my progress.

Dave,

I know someone who started over and ended up with two approved petitions and at the interview which was successful, they couldn't issue the visa until teh old case was closed. Make sure you follow up on this case before giving up just yet. Also, contact your senator first thing tomorrow AM before they case is physically shipped....I am just passing on what I have seen others do.

Good luck to you.
