After K3 denial ..today i got an answer for the senator

Have you consulted an attorney as well? Congressional reps don't usually get results for a denied visa, you need to launch appeals for that.

your advice is not valid.

they cant appeal unless USCIS revokes the petition.

Maybe it will be like our case where they just simply needed more time to look over our file. We also received a 221(g) the day of our interview. We waited for a week and a half to hear back from them as to whether we were approved or not. But yeah, in the meantime, send ANY evidence you have... we sent ANYTHING we could possibly THINK of, and I do believe it helped. GOOD LUCK!

there are two 221g letters

1. visa approved--pending security/name checks---adm processing

2. visa denied--case is RETURNED to USCIS for revocation.

sounds like yours was the first one?

one hearts received the second one.

All I advised is that he get an attorney and that the Senator cannot change the status of his visa if it was already denied. If you are correct and his petition is getting revoked he will need an attorney.

how is this joint account at bank established? i have tried my bank here and he tried his bank there....no luck, his name is on two of my credit cards also but only as a authorized user this was even before marriage that didnt hold him responsible for any of the debt, my insurances and beneficiares are changed...what else can be done? others might learn from hearing these options also

I opened a In Trust For [iTF] account for my then K3 wife in the Philippines at a bank here in Hawaii. Life insurance policy and had trust fund for her and her daughter. No problem at embassy interview,

PS LOTS of photos and communication also plus multiple trips to see her.

you wrote>>Congressional reps don't usually get results for a denied visa/ Senator cannot change the status of his visa

what results are you referring to? results are not needed. a reason for return is needed. a senator can get the reason for return. status is already known=case returned to USCIS.

you wrote>>you need to launch appeals for that

i nver said the case IS getting revoked. i said IF.

not all people need attorneys for denied cases. i didnt. my husband is now here. i was advsising per my experience.

i added my husband to my medical and dental. he couldnt use it until he arrived here but i wanted more proof of our validity. i couldnt add him to my credit union account until he received a soc number. i also applied for a tax id so i could file as married for IRS.

We never used an attorney either, and we won the Notice of Intent to Revoke. It really depends on the complexity of your case. I have found in most denials the cases are simple, the consulates are just not convinced, and if the relationship isn't real it won't make it through the process.

One note however, if the petitioner isn't very skilled with forms, letters, and conveying their message it could perhaps be best to get a lawyer. Some people just aren't able to understand the process, and in that case it isn't wise to do it yourself.

i agree completely. most denials are easy to overcome. but if one feels the need for an attorney by all means get one. be sure to hire one who has experience with denied cases. i found many immigration attorneys have never dealt with a denied case before.

Chiquita, you are the one who saw here

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...=106746&hl=

what kind of case he has. There are complexities and IF the case is valid it is probably going to be difficult to prove. In addition, he obviously doesn't, from his many threads/posts know what to send in to prove validity AND also based on his many threads there is a chance it's not actually valid in the first place.

He knows WHY it was sent back.

Checking with an attorney is never invalid advice.

Someone who wants to pretend that after they won one case--their own--they have all the answers for someone whose life is in the balance??? That is not valid.

Why did they deny? What the heck happened?

I don't know how you were allowed to do that since most insurer's won't add beneficiaries that are out of the coverage area. But I agree on your point that most banks will not give accounts to people without a valid SSN.

One sure proof way of proofing that it is a bonafide marriage is having a child together.

My husband was on my medical, dental, and vision, as well as my bank account. The bank was tough, but they accepted the tax id from the IRS until he got here and got his SS#. The benefits were easy, and they even covered services on an "out of network" basis.

As for having a child....not always. I know of couples that have been denied regardless of the fact they have a child together. Your SO is from Canada, much easier than an MENA man.
