[lib2008 0]

has anybody had any experience with appealing I-130 denial? how long does it take?

I have hired a lawyer to help me appeal the denial of my wife's I-130 due to lack of prove of our marriage.

we have sent our appeal to california service center in Aug,18 of 2009. they are supposed to foward it to the Board of immigration. so if anyone has done the same thing in the past. please give me an idea of how long we can expect to hear from them.

thanks

I have no very informative information about your situation, however I wish things move faster and may you have more patience and strength as you go through this process.

what proof did u send initially?

I sent in the wedding pictures, letters from co-workers and friends, phone cards, money wiring receipts and prove of my two trips to kenya to visit my wife. I guess they did not like our pictures and they said they do not look like wedding pictures.

thanks for your encouraging words. anybody who has dealt with USCIS and dept of state will surely need plenty of patience.

Did you send in your marriage cert? You don't list it and if you did not send it in, that would be clear cause for denial. JUst trying to figure out if your denial was based on "lack of evidence of marriage" or "lack of bonafide marriage".

I did send in the marriage cert. I think the denial is for lack of bonafide marriage.

I am sure a more experianced member will correct me but .. if a petition gets returned I believe it waits 6 month before being processed. Not 100 % jut 80 % sure ... ask one of the gurus they are always full of information.... wish I could help more

Hey, did they return all your documents or they sent Notice of Denial right away? Our case status online says "document" was mailed to applicant (my husband) and until now he still didn't receive it so we're wondering what document could that be..Thanks.

I'd call my senator. Mine has helped me a LOT. Mine did find out the exact reasons we were denied.
