Hello everyone,

Depression has definitely sunk in!!! Im still distraught at the CO's decision on denying my fiancee visa.Brief description on what happened this dreadful morning.The CO felt that since I havent met my fiancee's parents and he hasnt met ny parents, and that I havent visited Nigeria since 1985, that our petition is for immigration purpose only. Upon all the evidence that I sent.Bogus but its ok. Well we decided to just re-apply for the k1 visa. I started making plans to visit my fiancee in Nigeria in April and again in August. So my question is where do I go from here? I know that the k3 visa will take longer? What is your advice? Im lost alone and confused. This is so disturbing.What a bad nightmare.

Did he visit you within the last two years? Or did you meet him somewhere other than Nigeria?

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS

Sweetie, you're in pain, and heaven knows that we understand. You'll be far better off maintaining your ONE thread in the K-1 subforum, where everyone has been answering. No sense spreading the caring advice and loving support too far away from home base, right? :)

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

When you two were in Dubai how long were you together ? Did you have any proof that the relationship was anything more than brief ( not sure how you do that ) did you submit a lot of pictures taken on several different times. Even if your first meetings were more than 2 years ago did you provide photos from back then ? What evidence did you have of the continued relationship between filing and the interview ?

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

Im still distraught at the CO's decision on denying my fiancee visa.Brief description on what happened this dreadful morning.The CO felt that since I havent met my fiancee's parents and he hasnt met ny parents, and that I havent visited Nigeria since 1985, that our petition is for immigration purpose only. Upon all the evidence that I sent.Bogus but its ok. Well we decided to just re-apply for the k1 visa. I started making plans to visit my fiancee in Nigeria in April and again in August. So my question is where do I go from here? I know that the k3 visa will take longer? What is your advice? Im lost alone and confused. This is so disturbing.What a bad nightmare.
