First need to know why she was denied, and then once you know that you can address the problem and find a solution.

it says on the form that they did not have past the number of evidence.. We juz dnt get it coz if they didnt submit the required evidence then why did the service center not send them rfe or why did they get the approval?

They past the NOA1 & NOA2. Evidence could be proof of a on-going relationship. A letter of intent to marry within 90 days of her arrival. NEW ONE. Could be income requirements and submitting the proper forms. Being prepared for that interview is important. Don't schedule if you don't have everything in order. This is where it went wrong. I hope they were given time to prepare and fix any problems with her application instead of a FLAT NO.

Did the embassy gave her a 221g form? I never read here that they deny a k1 visa instead asking more papers. Did they gave back the passport to her? I felt sorry for her.

really? but after the issuance of your 221g, did they returned passport?yes that was her waiver...221g of not meting in person for the past 2yers prior they filed...so what if her F will be here, then can they re-schedule her interview?

They kept my passport after they issued me a 221g form. I dont have so much knowledge about re-apply again. Did they keep her passport or not? If yes, the embassy will ask more evidence but if not they should meet in person and apply again. My knowledge is very limited about her problem.

the passport was returned to her..

Have they met in person within two years and are they both free to marry (all previous marriages were finalized) prior to filing the I-129F? These two are a MUST

I wonder what triggered the denial

Speculation without further specific information is an exercise in futility.

The USCIS service center did not send the petitioner an RFE because, at that level of the K-1 process, it's not required to prove a bona fide relationship. The Embassy determines whether a relationship is bona fide. The USCIS looks at whether the couple met face-to-face within two years prior to filing the petition.

Did the Embassy issue her Form MNL-IV-22 (221g)? If so, what exactly did it say?

Maybe her visa was not denied. Maybe it was refused. If it was refused, then she can submit more evidence.

I am really sorry. The best advise I can give you is to request another interview with the embassy and bring proof of the relationship. Photos, phone bills,emails,and a letter of intent from both of you affirming your desire to marry and of course pray....

Many people get RFE or denials at the USCIS level for not proving an ongoing, bona fide realtionship.

Are you referring to the fiancé(e) petition process or the spousal petition process? As Tahoma stated, the main requirement for the I-229F to be approved by USCIS is showing that you've met within two years and supply the various documentation requested. Any front-loaded documentation that shows proof of an ongoing relationship is more for the embassy/consulate side, which is not part of the same department or agency as USCIS.

The OP is asking about a K-1 case.

If you know of any K-1 cases where the USCIS denied/RFE'd them because they lacked proof of an ongoing/bona fide relationship, would you kindly provide a link.
