K1 visa denial. relationship for immigration purpose. badly depressed,

[Nwanyioma 11]

obright,

im so sorry to hear that you and your fiancee was denied the visa. i know how you feel. about 2 years ago, i was in the same situation as you, except me and my then fiancee was not married. i contacted my senator the same day, and 1 week later the lagos consulate called my then fiancee to appear for a second interview. dont respond or pay attention to negative comments. yes lagos consulate is a high fraud consulate, but with prayers anything is possible. Take care and good luck.

thank you so much. i m not paying those any mind trust me. Like i said, God is in control. i know some people are taking and they did't have a lawyer. she hired a lawyer right from start. our lawyer is very good in immigration cases. he has been my fiance family immigration lawyer for more than 19year. God is in control. My case will be different. the denial paper never stated anything about my fiancee meeting me while she was legally married and awaiting for divorced to be finalized. the co only said it to me that. it also states on the divorce paper when they were separated

My fiance is in the same situation that you are in I to was married while i was engaged to my fiance and now the embassy is returning it back to the U.S for further review . You may want to try and see if you could request a Senior interviewing Officer to review it before they send it back, I did the sma I am now waiting for a response. And Its not over they will review your case and give you time to give more evidence I talked to USICS and asked questions thats how I know. on another note customer service said that as long as the petition is under review the petition will not expire. Hang in their and don't give up.

thank you for you support.

This does not make any sense! Can situations like this still be appealed? The main requirements of the K1 is that both parties are free to marry especially within 90 days. If she was legally divorced by the time she filed for the K1 then that satisfies that requirement with the latter obviously once you get here. Technically, if you think about it, even if someone gets a divorce finalized today and files for a K1 today, technically that person is free to marry. So it doesn't make sense why they would deny based on that. Fight it!!! Hope things work out for you guys!

That is the same thing i thought. She is just waiting to take to the lawyer next week. so I will let you know is response.

I am not trying to be negative at all, and I truly wish you success - but what will your lawyer do? This is not a situation where your lawyer can go to court to try and win your case.

To state the obvious information regarding the situation is very lacking.

So how any sensible comment can be made other than that she could move I do not understand.

Well is not a do or die issue,i know how you feel but the truth is that anybody here that took out time to read and relpy on anybody case just wanted to help in one way or the other and Trust me....No body is against you contacting the congessman,Just that sometimes we should try and be realistic......i know after the long wait of going thru the approval process from USCIS and the money spent and all that,it really hurt but somehow you need to accept that delay or is not denail and we are all here for a common goal which is to find a way to be with our love ones.....................If you contact Congressman and get re-aparoved by the embassy,All VJ members will be happy knowing that aleast we finally had a success.....but what is the point of after going thru the process of getting the Congessman and still not have them do anything,or Maybe having your lawyer do what ever he has to do just to get approved without having a good result at the end which no body here pray for.....Whereas you and your fiancee would even focus maybe trying to plan a trip and either marry in Ngeria and file for Cr-1 sebsequently after marriage in Nigeria....Is a hard thing to accept but most times,is something we cant help but just accept that is our fate..............

I have heard crazy story about interviews which there case are even far more easier and clean....Like both partiner has never been married,made like 2 to 3 visit back and fort and still get denied at the end at the embassy level but somehow they figure it out and move pass that and some of which are here in the US today.....That things work for someone else dosent mean is easy and will work for everybody.....Contacting the Congressman is a good thing and Trust me, everybody that gets denied at the Consulate level would have at some point thought about that but whats the point that at the end of the day and the whole stress of getting them involved didnt yard any help.....Like you said,Getting a lawyer is a good thing but i can only say that this lawyers dose not have much to do when it comes to visa decisions at the embassy....They can only help you put your decuments together and advice when necessary but cant influence any decision on issuance of visa....That is one thing most people dont understand but is just the true fact.......One thing i want you to know is that getting an Immigarnt benefit is not a right you have in your own hands....So dont waste so much money paying for lawyers to help you where they dont have so much they can do............

i wish you the best on which ever you choose to do and i pray you find a way to sort it out.....i will always check back to see on how the case as it unfold and pray it goes on your favour...Like i said...still have people advice you more and go from there...Wish you the best result you ever desire

[odus blessing 3]

THank you so much. i totally understand you. it is just how some people give the advice, so cold. you see how you are talking. i like that... Not when someone is saying 'well you are denied, so deal with it'. I' m here for advice not to fight with anyone. addition to hatever comment, let also encourage each other not just discouraged and say negative stuff.

Situations such as is described by the OP can be appealed - the realistic chance of approval for THIS visa application is very low.

The Consulate has detemined that the purpose of the relationship is for the beneficiary to immigrate to the USA and basically has told the OP that there is no basis to prove a bonafied relationship. If the Consulate had wanted additional proof, he would have issued a 221(g) and given 30 days for the OP and the petitioner to submit more evidence. However - the Consulate has decided to return the petition to USCIS. Once in USCIS's hands the petition will either be readjudicated and sent again to the Embassy or USCIS will issue a NOIR - Notice of intent to revoke. Either way, the odds of VISA approval are slim. Why? Let's assume that USCIS reaffirms the petition. The petition is then sent again to the very Embassy and most likely the SAME Consulate who found intent to fraud the first time. Another interview will be held with the SAME Consulate. What do YOU think the outcome will be?

Best bet.. Withdraw this peition. Start fresh with the petitioner making another trip to spend time with the beneficiary and keep EVERYTHING proving a bonafied relationship. OR - marry, and get everything possible to prove bonafied marriage.

This will be an uphill battle, but refiling either K-1 or CR-1 is the most likley path to approval IF they prove legitimate relationship.

wouldnt acknowledge ur comments ever

On November 15, 2011, I had an interview at the us embassy in lagos and i answered all the question the CO asked me correctly. After answering all the question with confident, the CO paused for a while. The CO told me that my fiancee was still legally married when we met so he gave me a blue slip explaining that "Dear Visa Applicant, We are returning your visa petition to the Department of Homeland Security office where it was approved with our recommendation that the petition be reviewed for possible revocation. Any futher inquires should be directed to that office. The reasons are as follows:

Evidence submitted indicated that this relationship was entered into for purposes of immigration.

my fiancee was married before and the ex-husband use to abuse her. She seperated from him since the year 2007. the divorce filled in 2009 and finalized in August 2010. We met in late late 2008, proposed in 2009 and filled k1 visa 6 month after divorce finalized. we are so disheartening, depressed, and helpless. We went to be living together already, married and start having kids. how can someone has our lives in their hand. since then, i have not been very happy, i dont know where to go or where to start. we both cried. GOD help us. we love each other so much and this distants is effecting us. the co did not found any fault but that. according to the law,it is perfectly legal to get engaged before your divorce is final. we both were free to marry when we fill the petition.

anyone with similar experience.....

[staceluvyou 6]

this should'nt be so, because me and my now husband met lived, got engaged and had a baby before he was legally divorce and he filed the k1 one month after his divorce. however, i was asked about this in my interview and i told the co that they had been seperated from 2007 but the divorce was'nt finalized till 2010. he asked me no further questions and i was granted my visa. so this should'nt be an excuse to deny you
