So afraid it happenning again

[tracimn123 0]

Here is my story in a nut shell, In September of 05, I filed a I-129f for a fiancé, Well in went until December of 05 before it was ever touched, when it was touched I got a REF for more evidence of our relationship, I sent more pictures and letter from family, however that was not good enough so the petition was denied due to lack of evidence for our relationship. So in January of 06 I hired an immigration lawyer to help us, he said our best option was to get married in Mexico when I go visit. So we did. Came home will tons of pictures, plane tickets, receipts ECT. Filed my I-130 in April, they received it in Vermont on May 1 2006; the case had not been touched since May 2, 2006, we filed our K-3 in May they received it on May 22, 2006, that has not been touched since June 1, 2006 So what I'm afraid of it is going to sit there for months and get dined again, because I look at other people's time lines and they get touched all the time and mine has not. Please if you can shed some light for me. I so depressed and frustrated.

Hi Traci

I know you have concerns because of the denial and that is understandable but don't be stressing yet, its way too early for that and you will give yourself an ulcer. What is happening with your I-130 is well within normal. As for the I-129F for the K-3, you are just going to have to be patient as ALL petitions filed on or after March 6 have just about come to a standstill so it is not specific to your petition.

All the best.....I have been wondering where you were at.

I can understand that *hugs* But your I-129F for fiance was denied for a specific reason that wont have any bearing on the spousal petitions being approved as you didnt need to submit evidence of having met like you had to before. Try to relax traci

Lorelle,

Unless tracimn provided us with mis-information (quite possible, it's a common occurance here at VJ when people don't appreciate the significance of the words they use) the reason why the previous petition was denied will have a bearing on the current petitions. She told us that the first petition was denied on the basis of a dubious relationship, not on the basis of not having met within the prior two years.

Getting married may mitigate some of the doubt about a relationship, but it does not eliminate all of the doubt.

Choice of words is often the case yes, however I remember traci's case well and she failed to be able to prove that they met in person within the 2 year period required hence why I made mention of it in my post as it not being something that will affect the approval of the spousal petitions as it is not a requirement to show that one has met within that period as is for the fiance petition.

Aussi is correct my specfic reason was i could not prove we meet in person within 2 years. Sorry for any confusion.

Currently, it is taking minimum 3 months for the I-130 to be approved based on VJ members' recent approvals. So you just need to wait for the approval at this point.

tracimn,

In which case I agree with her comments.
