Hello everyone... I hope to find some enlightenment to clear my doubts why it happened.

Hubby & I got married on 18 April 2010 in Philippines. Hubby applied our 1st CR-1 on Aug. 2010. By December, we got the result. Denied.... They said his birth certificate was fake. Though he was born and raised in NJ, USA. So we applied again after a few months. We decided to apply CR-1 visa again by Feb. 2011. End of Sep. 2011, my husband received a phone call saying that my interview will take place in a month or two. Just got upset coz 2011 ends without receiving any phone call. My husband received a phone call 1st week of March 2012 (gosh, it took a year to find out the result) saying that our CR-1 visa was denied again coz we are married less than 2 years.

And now we are planning to hire an immigration lawyer to process my papers. Just to make sure that everything will be handled accordingly.

Seeking for an advice for any VJ'ers who had experienced the same OR any opinion with our case why it was denied is highly appreciated. And any idea how much it will cost to take a lawyer?

Something doesn't seem right here.......is he or has he asked for funds for processing the paperwork? I'm hoping he is legit. Sorry for asking such a question but there are scammers.

Not sure on the first time, but the second time, you either missunderstood something or your hubby is not telling the truth. There is a spousal visa for less than two years, the CR-1, and for more th

Did you ever get an interview athe embassy? Did you ever sign any paperwork? Did you send him a birth certificate Police certificate from all places you lived before? This all sounds very strange

Laure - never mind. Rereading Post #1 for 10 times - it's finally sunk in. The USCitizen Petitioner, the husband, has done nothing. He's not filed any I-130..

We are not getting the full story.

Best if your Husband posts.

If you married out of the country. Which means he has a passport. U need your original birth certificate to get a passport. So that fake birth certificate sounds fishy to me. Just sayin!

Exactly my thought. Plus, the calls portion of the story sound.... unreal.

Hello,

Just to chime in here, it sounds like your husband(Petitioner) is pulling a fast one for whatever reason. Like others have said, it doesn't sound right.

Thank you so much and have great day everyone J

seems like your husband is playing games with u :bonk: anyways if he really file a petition you should get a receipt # kinda similar to this #WAC0000000000

ask him to give you that receipt #. go on USCIS web and check your case. MABUHAY!!!!

Husband probably never even sent in any petitions - no NOA1 referenced in either case and they haven't seen each other for over a year...

Phone calls to give you an interview date?

ya, that was for the petitioner, to show up at a local USCIS office.

IMO, the appointment letter was sent out, and he never received it or he didn't pay attention to it.

it's rare, but uscitizen petitioner interviews at a local uscis office do occur between NOA-1 and NOA-2 on the I-130.

So, if he was supposed to go, and didn't go - eventually the case will be denied at USCIS National office. There's a lot of casefile travel to worry about - CSC to Local to CSC again (for example).
