well after a good cry.. ok while i was crying i called my boss who actually is our 'Wayne County Comsissioner", so he is real close with our two congressmen, but warned me not all congress people get involved in stuff like this, but he called while we talked and one said email him and call back on Monday .. Thanks to Julie Salako, I got hold of a document from the NVC giving instructions to all embassy not to send petiotions back on certain issues, and regulations so my case falls in that category of those new regulations so i copied it and highlighted how she went against these guiedlines, attathced my fiancee statement and sent it to the Lagos embassy and to my congress reps. and my boss. OH my boss (the commissioner) actually meet my fiance during our first meeting in Ghana, because he sponors our annual trips to Ghana to work at our sister school in Ghana, So he said he will write a letter on my be half. I didn't include it the first time because I didn't have a picture of them together. Sorry wasn't thinking. sooo now I guess we just pray and wait. Please don't forget me and continue to give me any suggestion of help..

Good luck and God's Favor to us all.. Gowon you know I'm praying hard for you and your queen :)

Peace ,

Chi

Thanks Chi.

I knew that you'll have a temporary period of disappointment but also knew you'll rebound quickly and spring right back into action - I'm so proud of you.

So continue the good fight and we are all praying for you Guys. They used such a bogus denial reason.

I actually read on another denied post that there is a class action lawsuit going on on behalf of us K1 folks. Apparently there is a memo from USCIS to DOS not to arbitrarily denied approved petitions unless they have solid evidence of fraud or misrepresentation that can withstand a court challenge.

I'm starting to think the immigrant section of the Embassy is a money grab as we've submitted tons of evidence to USCIS and we've been approved there.

Keep researching, email, contact, etc it will happen.

Thank you for the good info. I saw the guideline for petition revocation, and am glad you shared it with the rest of us.
