I129f file cancelled..what can i do?

[knowledge 0]

i am so sorry to hear that. The same situation happened to us before and we ended up re-filing coz it might take more time to dig up the case from somewhere. As I always trying to warning people arround here... if you can... never change your address... The same problem ourred to us when I was changing my status... the process itself is complicated... make it simple.

Ok that's interesting to me...im a newbie but you validate in a way my intuition...is it possible for you to developp a bit more?...i.e, when you mentionned you had to re-fill...refill what?...and where are you now in the proceedure...and do you think the 1st fill lol if i can use this expression...will be brought in the 2nd proceedure you are into now?...i think that will help the OP in here...

I don´t officially live in argentina. i am just here short term. My address never changed and I did not tell the USCIS that I live in Argentina, because i officially live in California with my parents still. My work address is in Argentina..so i did put that on my I129f..maybe that will come back to haunt me..i don´t know. but I haven´t even had to cross that bridge yet, since they are still waiting for the IMBRA RFE to complete my petition.

Oh God...This is a nightmare. One more proof positive of the desperate need for overhaul and reform of this godforsaken system...

You definitely need congressional help at this point, IMHO. You also need to write a calm but forthright letter to the USCIS/CSC yourself, making it clear that you have complied with all requests made of you and that the cancellation of your case is not due to any error of yours. The letter should concisely state the facts of your case and assert that you look forward to the timely resolution of an error made on USCIS's part. Once you draft the letter, if you need someone to look it over, let me know...All is not lost. Not yet. Don't panic. Know your rights and pursue them calmly and rationally.

Does Argentina offer DCF?

Read this: Immigrant Visa Filing in Argentina

"US citizens legally residing in Argentina and some US citizens marrying resident Argentines may file a petition at the US Embassy in Buenos Aires."

This website may be outdated. You should call the Embassy immediately and ask them if you would be eligible to file an immigrant visa petition (I-130) at the Embassy.

If so, then you'd have to get married, but the process would be shortened.

I can't search the archives so I don't know if anyone posting on VisaJourney has successfully done DCF in Argentina.

Consider whether your short-term goal is interfering with your long-term goal, and decide which is more important to you.

I don't like this advice, I think that the only important goal is to be with the one you love. If you can be with your sweetheart while the case is being processed who cares, within reasonable limits, how long it takes?

I am very sorry for your set-back. But I do envy you!

Each day that I am forced to be away from my fiancee I feel that I have been punched in the heart.

My advice; reapply and remain in Argentina, and any time you start to feel sad about the extra wait just hug your fiancee. I really envy you...........

Ok, maybe you need to clarify more for them your situation; with the light of the new info you provide in this post, what comes to my mind 1st is that you are in an ambiguous situation; what I mean by that is that 1 personal info is in 1 place and you are in another place, ( 1 foot here, 1 foot there, which can be confusing for everybody...imagine when you have to deal as they have, with 2 or 3 places of checking on the petitions, then transfered here and there...) that you maybe omitted to clarify to them...(when you mentionned you did not tell USCIS where you live currently, the term "currently" is important because on their forms is requested this present time, where you are, etc). So, also, I don't know what is to say or not to them, what is best...but maybe clarify for yourself the situation more in detail...the help of an attorney can be useful, or, why not go get advice from the consulate in Argentina, as you are to make another step. In any case, for whatever step you'll make, I would write a lot, call a lot, and especially make sure from now on that they have received all the correspondance (mail with return signature for ex)...that every level taken is consistent and directed in the same direction...avoid contradictions, for ex, when you call them from Argentina, then they agree to get in touch with you, make sure they have the necessary info where they can easily get you informed...this is for me a contradictory situation...and would avoid it totally...because the effect might be again confusing for them: if they call home and somebody else than you answers with inappropriate stuff, they might get more suspicious...(remember, they are very sensitive to that) and all this is not now in your benefits...that means, make sure, you answer them directly, not somebody else in your place, or at least, prevent them somebody else would answer for you...Anyway...good luck!
