Update on the denial

[Nagishkaw 510]

To,

Everyone who was interested in our case being denied...

I retained an attorney to appeal our case this morning . Of course, there are NO guarantees of an approval.

We felt it was our only recourse at this point, so this is where we are at as of right now.

We want to thank those who sent us PM's and were concerned, and also those who posted encouraging words in my recent thread, and the many prayers that went out to us out of brotherly/sisterly love.

There had been some questions concerning this denial. I can tell you that when we filed , we filed under a hardship. I do not want people thinking their case will be denied because ours was. Each case, as we all know, is different in it's own right.

Keep us in your prayers, it is going to be a rough road ahead.

God Bless you all !

I'm sorry to hear this. I am sure things will look up soon.

By hardship do you mean you couldn't meet in person? Sorry just curious.

Jabree and Hitham,

I'm sorry to learn of your denial. I do not know the reason why other than you state you filed under a hardship. I'm going to share this with you and it may not be anything like your story. Back in January 04, I filed our first I129-F, but we hadn't met and I stated three reasons of hardship. We waited 8 long long months for a denial to be sent to us. They stated why it was denied and I could try and have it overturned. Instead I did what I could in the next few months and went to Morocco and refiled our petition in November 05 and the petition was approved February 05, interview 5/05 and he joined me here in 6/05. I am just telling you this in case this might give you hope that you can receive approval, though our cases might be different. I did this without a lawyer and it turned out fine for us. We have now been married for 15 months and most of the immigration part is behind us. There is always hope and I wanted to wish you the best on your journey.

So, wait...are you saying that you've never met the person for whom you are applying for the visa face-to-face?
