NOTICE FROM USCIS AFTER K1 DENIED - PLS. HELP

[member123 0]

Hello,VJers

Last year, I had a k1 petition, that was returned to USCIS with recommendation to be revoked.

After over 9 months long waiting, couple days ago, I got the case status on USCIS’s website as follows:

Post Decision Activity

On March 08, 2013, the previous decision made on your case was revoked and we mailed you a notice explaining the decision. If you have not received the notice within 14 days of the date above, please call customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for further assistance. If you move, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address

Today, my fiancé received the mail from USCIS:

Your petition for Alien Fiance’(s) (Form I-129F), which was approved by U.S citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), has been returned to this office for the following reason:

USCIS is administratively closing this petition because the original validity dates have now passed. This action is without prejudice to the filing of any future petitions or applications.

The returned petition will now be stored at this office and no further action is required

Is there anyone in the same situation? I am a little confused. Is it case closed or automatically revoked? What should I do? Do I need an immigration lawyer?

Thank you for your comments

.....you let a K1 Visa Expire?

na, USCIS did. CSC or VSC, can't remember which one - they are sneaky about it, and usually allow it to expire rather than going through the extra paperwork of issuing a NOID/R and allowing the petitioner to rebut.

It's sneaky, but it is what it is. The Petitioner didn't allow it to expire - that was USCIS them own d@mn selves.

It's quite common that the service center don't look at them after they get them back from the embassy. I think it's CSC who's notorious for it. It's not the petitioner that lets the petition expire - it's the service center. After it expires, they send out a notice saying the petition is adm. closed.

That sucks. That is not right to just backdoor it like that and let it die. And lose your money?

Nooooooooooooo

[Darnell 8,479]

sorry, VSC does that, a lot.

paperwork travel is important here, aye?

I-129F to VSC,

NVC

IV Unit then

K-1 visa application at IV unit then

INTERVIEW at IV unit with some problems at interview then

Casefile is returned to VSC and

VSC allows the petition to expire, without going through actual NOIR/D process with petitioner.

Sure, it sucks, but it is what it is.

CSC doesn't work this way, so that's a plus - they do handle NOIR/D with a rebut process to the petitioner.

We had filled a new petition couples months ago, after long time we didnt hear any thing from USCIS. We fixed and addressed our problems on new petition, too

I'm little scared now. If VSC let our previous petition expired, then we dont have any chance to rebut.What will happend? Do i need a waiver on my next interview because our problems on previous k1 are still there on their system. Pls. help
