The reasons for your original denial will have to be over come, if you'd like to list the reason for the denial, we might be able to help you overcome it.

Good luck.

they said the first time vermont center said they did not get my info they needed but they did by fax and i proved it by showing them a copy of it being faxed to them so that is where the congressman came in but we filed again while we were waiting for them to make a decision on the first one they said i abandoned the case and i never did so i proved to them i never did that.

Wait...you're not making sense. Let me see if I've got this right. You received a Request for Further Evidence (RFE) for your first petition, which you replied to via FAX? But the service center did not 'receive' it, so they denied your petition? Then you got your congressman involved....and while he was trying to help you, your impatience led to applying again instead of waiting out the resolution of your first case? Each petition has to be resolved to a final resolution before USCIS will consider a new petition. You never resolved the first one....just let it hang and filed the second one....that is considered 'abandoning' your first petition and it causes your second petition to be denied based on the fact that you already have the first petition in the pipeline. You basically create a catch-22 there.

You really should have waited for the final resolution of your first petititon before moving on with the second on.

It seems that you may have some trouble understanding these procedures...have you consulted with a qualified immigration attorney?

Given your intricate situtation, it may be a while before you can straighten it out. Given that you want to move to Egypt, have you thought about moving there, marrying and obtaining Egyptian residency...then after the alloted time, you can do Direct Consular Filing (DCF) for your husband and he could then receive an spousal visa...you could both come back together. It may be an option, but under no circumstances should you do this procedure until you get a permanent resolution to your 2 I-129F's that you filed.

when the congressman called them they told the congressman that it was already denied because i abandonded the case when in fact i did not

Please read my post again....what your 'intentions' are and what USCIS does based on policy are two different things. When you did not wait for the resolution of petition #1 and filed #2 you in fact abandoned #1. BUT they cannot approve #2 because #1 is still being inquired about by your congressman and so USCIS is responding to resolve your issue(meaning #1 is not a closed petition). In effect you have two open petitions....and you can't have that.

[marie_yahya 11]

yes they did deny us befor i filed

but i still went threw the congressman cos i never got the letter saying i abandoned the case or even knew anything so it was closed i just had no knowledge of it

If you never received the letter how do you know that your petition #1 was denied?

AGAIN, by having your congressman get involved and inquire about your petition #1 you in effect opened it up....USCIS was looking at it. Then you go and file #2, but in the meantime #1 is still unresolved. USCIS policy states that you can only have one 'open' petition at a time.

Please, if you haven't already post this question in the MENA regional forum (Middle East/North Africa) forum...perhaps someone can guide you towards a better explanation of your situation and what your current options are.

I suggest that you find an experience immigration attorney to at the least have a consultation visit. The attorney's fee would be well worth it if you are not comfortable managing the forms and filings on your own.
