Sorry to hear that, probably would need more information on the denial, but sounds like an attorney is a good thing. Get a main stream good one.

Before you marry you need to overcome the reasons for the denial of the K-1, or the CR-1 will be denied as well.

Ya, Even with 'an attorney', I suggest a one to two hour consult with Marc Ellis, prior to Filing the I-130.

yea,1 thing that went wrong was i think i may have screwed up on the DS Forms and also she said she had known me for 1 year(at the Interview) and it had only been 8 months and i wasn't at the Interview.As far as the Revoked b2 visa(misrep.),who knows..she had a travel agency fill it out for her and i know she told the travel agency that we had a pending K-1 Petition...so we don't know,but we are more prepared this time,been apart almost 9 months..known each other for over 1 1/2 years and then Marry...with an Attorney to represent us..so we will see..hope we won't need to file a I-601..Attorney says he not think the Embassy will bring up the Revoked B2(P6CI)Visa...we'll see!

1 other thing..Officer at Interview never looked at any of the ongoing relationship proof..all he saw was my 1 visit..not the other 2 visits or photos of me with her Parents..or her in the U.S. with me...my suggestion is Front Load you Petition!

The section of your post I put in bold is by far the biggest issue you now have. I agree with Darnell's suggestion, consult with Marc Ellis. Unless the attorney you hired is well versed in the waiver process and is familiar with tough consulates, your attorney could get in over their head real quick.

ya, actually, if you are serious about having an attorney to help you prep the I-130, I suggest that you shift over to engaging with Marc Ellis for the duration.

you will need to file a waiver, you were denied for misrepresentation. You need an attorney who is well experienced in this area.

The K-1 was Denied for no bona fide relationship.The B2 was REVOKED during the K-1 Interview for intending to Immigrate and P6CI..

Darnell is on the right track!
