K-1 Visa denied, Motion to reopen?

[cdneh 3,112]

Is this post in the right thread? I cannot find anywhere the OP states he spoke to a human. or otherwise.

OK - lets assume for the moment that the Human you talked to was full of cr@p.

For yer own sanity (or rather, mine) - do please ....

Call back 4 times over today and tomorrow, speak with a different Human each time, alternating between a CSR and an ISO,

record your answers in a log book, then

Friday evening, after the 4th call, post yer responses/answers back here

and then, maybe, we can give you focused response.

Uncalled for.Is it so hard to leave your personal opinion or feeling out when we respond to a post?

I AGREE....THERE'S TOO MUCH OF THIS GOING ON LATELY. GRANTED THIS PERSON SHOULD HAVE FOLLOWED UP MUCH MORE BUT THIS IS A PLACE FOR GUIDANCE, NOT JUDGMENT.

Bickering about the correct tone of responses offers zero "guidance" to the OP. Please refrain from bickering.

Hey,

I need your help please.

I applied for a K-1 Visa and waited 5 months. Then I got denied because I forgot to send in all the information. I hate myself for messing that up. Now they gave me the option to do a "motion to reopen" or to start a completly new case. If I start a new case then it's gonna take 5 months all over again. My and my fiancé would hate to wait that time again. I miss her soooo much! Now my question is did anybody of you did the motion to reopen? Is that gonna take less than 5 months? Or is it gonna take longer? And they told me on the phone that I have to pay $640 to do this motion to reopen. Is that correct? (it didnt say anything about that money in the letter where they told us the case got denied). And can I come visit her in the US just for like a few weeks while we are applying all over again or doing the motion to reopen? And what would you recommend for me to do anyway? A motion to reopen or a new case? The money doesn't matter by the way.

Please somebody help me here. But only answer if you know what you are talking about.

I appreciate your help.

I would NOT consider getting married as the solution to your problem.

Here's what happened (if you don't know how govt works...) I imagine that super swamped uscis saw your application and said "is this a joke? (they probably even took it as an insult) and then probably said "ok, let's give him back what he deserves".

So reopening the case would amount to nothing because you sent them almost nothing. It would be better for you to re-apply and this time make sure you send all the documents required, check that every form and doc is filled out correctly, signed and dated, organized and the fee/check written correctly with the correct amount. in other words this time, do not give uscis a reason to deny you.

It doesn't always take the average 4-6 months if your application is well organized. The sooner you start the shorter you have to wait. click on the forms here under K1, print the instructions and the list of requriements.

and do not apply for a tourist visa after sending your i129f if you don't want complications. good luck.

Ok guys I'm gonna follow your suggestions and start a new case all over again. Of cause I'm gonna read all the guides on this website as well as on the USCIS website first. I still can't believe I was stupid enough to not do that in the first place. I hope when I send it in all right with all evidence and everything that it might take less time than 5 months. Well I can only hope. Thank you all for your help though

Good luck with re-filing. Be sure to come on the boards again to double check with people if you feel like you're missing something.

But like previous posters said...the US Citizen needs to be the one filling all of this. That is a bit worrisome.

Oh man really now guys, get back to helping gout the OP. We've all read up on this process before and knew its not as easy as it seems (sign papers, bring fiance to US get married, have babies...oh how much I wish that it worked that way *hehe*) But the OP was simply not educated of the process, while being happily in love. Yes the OP should have done some reading on this subject matter but didnt, thats established now move along.

you're responsible for what you know....sorta thing

OP, get to reading. start a new petition and take all the constructive criticism and ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES
