Applying for 2nd K1 Visa?

[nick25 0]

My fiance and i had our first K1 visa application denied because we failed to return a request for evidence within the alotted time period. This was down to a mail forwarding issue(yes i'm aware we should have kept on top of this but she's at college so not at her permanent residence).

As far as i can tell an appeal takes forever and is not necessarily the correct thing to do in this circumstance.

Can we simply re-apply? Are there any restrictions for a 2nd application?

Thanks in advance for any information.

If that was the only reason, yes, you could re-apply.

However, you will have to ensure the prior one is actually withdrawn and not active.

I would pursue trying to open it back up - since it was a mailing error, not anything "hard".

re-apply much better than u had to appeal.based on wut my friend experienced they took 9 months before their appeal granted.

I am also going thru the same thing 2nd attempted but for a different reason for denial. Can you clarify you assumption of denial??, I think not submitting evidence has cause your case to be terminated or expried , Not denied. CO must have all evidence requested before they can issue a decision (approve or denied). Look at the denial sheet for specific reason, and what consulate says, and their future actions they plan to take, and also any options that the petitioner will have. Lucky

yeah re filing is good idea and if u r sure u gonna get marry then may be u can apply for CR1 after marriage. Its up to u.. my husband applied for K1 for me and they denied us after whole 7 months and yeah do not appeal , its wasting time and money.. we lost our money and time both so giving u warning for not appealing.. our appeal took around 3 months and they dismissed it.. Bad experience from my side so better be safe..

First you need to be sure that your petition was actually denied. Did you recieve notification of such? If you did, there was a time limit for filing an appeal or a motion for reconsideration. If you are within that time limit, you could decide to file an appeal AND submit therewith the information that had been requested in the RFE.

If you are sure the case is no longer pending, you may refile, BUT make sure you submit a clear statement (as an rider to question 11, asking if you have ever filed a I-129F before) explaining the reasons you are refiling for the same petitioner. You will also want to submit good up to date supporting evidence.

The choice is yours and the timing is really a ####### shoot.
