I'm denied :((

[Minya's wife 25]

We're just waiting for the denial notice now to arrive thru mail. They stated there why we're denied and what are our other options. And then, do what we need to do asap.

I see. In the meantime, I think there are some things you can begin to verify immediately, based upon what was stated as the common reasons for such a denial as you have received. According to JandM and K und O, the following are the conditions that must be met/ If not, the I-129F fiancee visa petition will not be considered and approved, by USCIS:

There are few reasons for a denial of the I-129f petition.

1. petitioner did not establish US cititzenship

2. petitioner did not establish termination of previous marriages

3. missing documents

4. unanswered RFE or inadequate response to RFE

5. too many petitions without a waiver request

6. Not having met in person within the past two years

If you meet all of the conditions above, make sure you have your documentation in order. (1) If you're a US citizen, have your passport, birth certificate and/or certificate of naturalization copied. (2) If you or your fiancee is previously divorced, have certified copies of divorce decrees ready to go. (3) Make sure you go through what you submitted previously (hopefully you have a copy) to assure that you did not neglect to submit a necessary page. (4) Hopefully you did not receive any Requests for Further Evidence-RFE's that you did not reply to, becuase such a thing can trigger a denial also. (5) If you've filed other petitions in the recent past, you have to apply for a waiver before your current petition will be approved....so consider that and if this applies in your case, research this subject and how to apply for a waiver.

(6)Hopefully you and your fiancee have physically met and seen each other at least once before you filed the application. If so, include all documentation of the meeting....plane ticket stubs, passport stamps, hotel receipts, etc. You can also include some photos, but its not necessary to send too many at this stage. (I sent 6 for example).

So, while you wait for your reason of denial, you can make sure all these things are ready and available to you, so that you can turn the petition around and re-apply once you know the reason for your denial.

Good luck,

-P

Sorry to hear about this... Keep us posted once you received the notice in the mail. It will help others who are about to go through this route. For now, keep the faith and pray that there's a way to fix the problem.

You were denied at the USCIS level? I'm so sorry! As some other members stated, there are very concrete reasons why a petition would be denied at this stage? Please look at those reasons. Do you meet all the qualifications? Did you include evidence to prove all of them? The good thing is, that once you meet all the conditions, you can re-file. You may need to include a waiver, but such a denial does not preclude you from filing again. Hopefully you can get this turned around and be approved soon.

Good luck,

I'm not going to feel sorry for you just yet. Once you know their reasons for denial (is it not coming from the NVC?), then perhaps you may rebut the adverse decision by offering more evidences that they need, to counter-proof what they have against you or you may seek assistance from your local representatives. At least that's what I would do if it happened to me. Just hang in there. They do not deny outright without substantial reason.

see if you can get your rep involved to see what is happening

I agree!

I am so sorry to have read about your denial, but keep faith!

Sorry to hear the bad news. As slow as USCIS is in sending out documents I would be calling them to see if they would fax the info. As mentioned earlier, contacting your local Senator or Congressman may help too.

Yep, that's what we gonna do --- we gonna hav our lawyer and contact some people in the government. So it will be easier and faster for us. We'd been waiting for a long time and it's harder if we wait again for another long time. I really want to be w/ him asap. He's the most important to me. But still, while we're waiting, he has a plan to visit me here again and stay here longer than our 1st meeting. So we won't miss each other that much.

Last Feb. 02, 2008, we reveived an email from USCIS telling us these: " On February 1, 2008, we mailed you a denial decision notice for this case I-129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). The notice explains why the denial decision was made and the options that may be available to you. If you have not received this notice within 30 days of the February 1, 2008, please call customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for further assistance. " I was so shocked, speechless, sad, disappointed upon reading this. We're not expecting this to happen. I even cried. My Baby and I been so excited to be together already soon. And we already have plans for our future. He filed for me Oct. 2007. They received our petition Oct. 29, 2007. We even had our receipt no. Right now, we're waiting for the notice to arrive thru mail so we know why we're denied. And to do what we need to do. It's really struggling for both of us, wanting to live together and make our own family, to love and cherish for. But still, I don't give up, we don't. Like in the saying, " If there's still life, there's hope ".

Hey Rich and Sharon i am so sorry to hear that..Che-che told me and I could not believe it.

I would hope it is something simple...If i can help at all feel free to call me ..you can get my number from Che-che

Keep the faith !

Eddie

Thanks Ed. Yeah, we're really disapponted and sad when we received that email. After long time of waiting and yearning each other. But don't u worry, I think we still hav hopes. They said there, we hav options. They didn't say we can't file anymore. We're just waiting for the notice. Then, we will do what we need to do asap. We're not giving up. If we give up, nothing will happen. I'm glad I hav Che as one of my friends. I'm happy for both of u. Hope everything will go well with ur papers. Hopefully, she will be with u this March already. Goodluck and God bless.

[♥ ShaRich ♥ 0]

Thanks everyone for the concerns. I do really appreciate it. Don't u worry, we're not giving up. If u love, u don't give up. I'm still determined and hopeful. Yeah, I'm feeling sad and disappointed now. But, maybe, He has a better plan for us. Maybe, it's not our time yet. We still hav hopes. I can wait. I already waited for more than 2 years. And I still can. Life goes on...
