Visa denied

[Jarun 1]

We received the same two email notifications that you did - ours are dated April 26! First the reaffirmed one, then that it is with USCIS again. We have called both Department of State/National Visa Center and USCIS and get contradictory info from them also. I think someone hit the wrong buttons on the update messages. I still call every week to see where the petition/application is but nothing so far. We are filing another I-129F anyway in the meantime; the Visa was refused same as yours under the 212(A)(5)(a) - lack of credible bona fide) relationship - same thing. I just got back from India so here we go again. I did ask if we should do a 2nd petition, USCIS said don't you want to wait to find out about the 1st one and I said No, we have waited already. They also said an attorney would not speed the process nor guarantee the outcome. Preparing new one w/more photos, skypes, etc and affidavits from parents and friends - hope that helps somehow. Wish you the very best - totally understand how you feel - truly.
