K1 is not for married people. CR1/IR1 or K3 is for married couples. You got the wrong advice.

The best visa for your circumstance is the IR1 as you have been married for two years already. Spouse gets a 10 year green card upon arrival.

With the K1 there are more steps, interviews, and more fees.

You need to withdraw the K1 petition and file for the IR1.

just I-129f

You will need to call USCIS and Cancel your I-129f application and start I-130.

I am not sure she can explain it... If she is legally married to you then she is not eligible for a fiance(e) visa. Plain and simple.

K1 is not for married people. CR1/IR1 or K3 is for married couples. You got the wrong advice.

The best visa for your circumstance is the IR1 as you have been married for two years already. Spouse gets a 10 year green card upon arrival.

More very pertinent facts on the OP's situation in this thread: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=214100

The OP and his spouse were married by proxy and have not consummated the marriage. They are not legally married under US law, regardless of whether their marriage is recognized under the law of any other country. They are ineligible for the IR-1/CR-1.

Nevertheless, there will be some serious explaining to do at the interview. That said, the consulate in Sudan is probably familiar with proxy marriage and its standing under US law, so he may still be okay. If it were me, I'd send my SO a letter explaining the situation to take to her interview.

And, in a case this complicated, a lawyer is probably a wise investment.

Improved USCIS Form G-325A (Biographic Information)

Form field input font changed to allow entry of dates in the specified format and to provide more space for addresses and employment history. This is the 6/12/09 version of the form; the current version is 8/8/11, but previous versions are accepted per the USCIS forms page.

yep

:rolleyes: Nope.

Unconsummated proxy marriage is not recognized under US law. Their I-129F was approved.

Yes, the key is that it was a proxy marriage. You havent made any visits to her since '06? If that is the case then... I think its wise advise to write a letter for your wife to bring to the interview. If you have made visits and have seen her, then you probably will have issues at the consulate since you would have a hard time proving it wasnt consumated during one of those trips.

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

The OP says in his other thread (http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=214100) that he hasn't been back to Sudan since 2001.

But I agree: they probably will have to address that issue (among others) at the consular interview.
