Letter of Intent to Revoke I-130

[imakhan2 0]

After many years of waiting and wrangling with USCIS to keep our case on track, they have decided to go ahead and revoke our I-130, and sent me a letter of Intent to Revoke. They think our marriage is a sham for reasons that are baseless and so beyond the realm of our personal characters. I have responded to the letter, and submitted all supporting documents as evidence that my husband and I clearly have an on-going and bonafide marriage for over 5 years, four of which he has been back in his home country awaiting all of this I-130 mess. We have been together for over 8 years now. I was advised by a highly reputable immigration attorney in Seattle that they will likely go ahead and revoke anyway, regardless of my response and the overwhelming evidence I have provided, simply because I have not flown to Pakistan once a year since he has been away. Ridiculous, I know, but the way they have handled our case all throughout has been just that. So I am ready for anything.

I know if they go ahead and revoke, I can reapply for the I-130. Correct?? I understand that they have this current I-130 mess to refer back to when that time comes, so I'm wondering what are the chances that they are going to use their own mistakes and mishandling of our case against us the second time around?? Along with the intent to revoke the I-130, they've gone ahead and granted us the opportunity to apply again for the I-129F simply because it expired and they've chosen not to revalidate it. How nice of them. This I-129F visa interveiw my husband had in Islamabad is what got us into this jam in the first place, but honestly, the opportunity to reapply again for the I-129F is sitting in my back pocket for now, just in case.

We are so angry and so besides ourselves on this, and we are not taking this lying down. Has anyone ever gone through this part of the process?

We just want to start over again with a clean slate if/when the opportunity presents itself. My husband and I are in our 40's now. We just want to grow old together and just be happy for once.

If anyone can respond or advise, we'd truly appreciate it. Has anyone here ever gone through this, or anything close to it? If so, what was the outcome for you????

Yes it would. I have a friend who had a similar experience to yours. Her husband first filed I129F and that was denied he came back to Guyana and married her a couple of days before me. She kept the Intent to revoke letter and she used that letter to prepare for her I130 interview and provided documents to rebutt what their claims. She got her visa in March this year and is currently with her husband. So if you want to start the process over prepare your second interview based on that letter because all those questions will appear again.

Thank you for your reply. I will do all I can to get this reversed or back on track. It's so unfair.

What you should do also is to supply all documents to rebut their claims with the letter to revoke and more so if the lawyer prepared it your husband can get a second interview.

What the attorney and I have done is submitted a response to their claims, including every card and letter I've received from him, emails, all of my cell phone bills over the past 4 years to show all the calls and texts we've made to each other, and I estimated about $1200.00 worth of phone cards I've purchased in the past four years or so (it's less expensive than calling him directly), photos of the two of us when I was with him in Pakistan in 2006, copies of my passport, plus other documents needed.

I pray for the best outcome, InshaAllah. A second interveiw would be a true blessing insha Allah.
