Today we have been able to get a good attorney for our case and he said we should re-file,he is charging $3000 for all..This is reasonable to others my wife had talked to since I got denied.I could see clearly that not all the immigration attorneys are professional and what will be good for us.My wife has come to Africa twice in six months to see me and we are expecting our baby in few months and I was told about the DNA evidence to prove my paternity of the child and for them to know that our relationship is not meant for immigration purpose has the consular officer said...My question is that is it good that we are no longer considering the APPEAL OR THE MOTION TO REOPEN..Also I wanna know if I should wait for the baby to be born before refiling another petition cuz by then we will have the baby's birthcertificate to prove that our marriage being consumated. I think the period of the next interview might be closer as I really feel upset by the refusal of the consular officer who beleived cuz we had a short engagement or how we met online means that our relationship is fraud..I wanna hear your advice on this and whoever that have similar experience should kindly share there experience..

You cannot refile without withdrawing the previous application, so that lawyer is definitely giving you wrong information. And you have not been denied, the USCIS has the final say and can reaffirm the case, this time with instructions for the embassy to give the visa if they find no reason to doubt your relationship.

If you only met August 2008 then am sure you understand why they think your visa is for immgration purpose only and having a baby during this period is definitely not a good idea 'cos that in no way guarantees you a visa or expedited process. Having a baby does not prove you didn't marry her for immigration purpose.Have your wife contact her congressman/woman with details of her case so they can follow it up and give her updates. I sent an email to you as I have been through this process and I will say this to you again...NO LAWYER can expedite the process or make the USCIS give you a visa, the onus is on your and your wife to have all the evidence of your on-going relationship ready incase you get Notice of Intention to Deny/Revoke from USCIS.

It is a waiting game at this stage and don't get yourself worked up. You just need to focus on making your marriage work whilst the case goes back to be reaffirmed. All the best.

Lawyer is giving your wrong information. YOu need a lawyer to get your current petition attention.

Baby does not solidify a realtionship. IF that was the case there wouldnt be so many single moms in America.
