I suggest you decide with your fiance if you want to refile for a k-1, you need to find the reason you think they denied you and address that. Or you can get married and refile I130. Did you notice if the consular focused on any one thing during your interview? What were the questions she/he asked that you feel were a problem. Short engagement, one visit , age difference.....there are many things that are troublesome for the Moroccan embassy.

One other thing , you are stating you are emailing and asking, where is your fiance in all of this? Your fiance needs to be the one to do all the asking , not you.

I see this more and more on this site where the beneficiary is here asking all the questions and doing all the work , where the heck are your spouses and fiances???!!! My husband has no idea about what to do , and really it should be me who deals with all of this because I understand it , and I'm the one who has the ability to contact people here in states to get the answers I need. Its great that you are being proactive to learn what to do , but your fiance really needs to do this for you.

:thumbs:

That paragraph about responding within a year, pertains to if you were given a 221g and asked for additional documents, missing papers etc...

Hate to tell you this but its a done deal, from personal experience it is closed. Refile, there is no review.

It really boggles my mind whyUSCIS can't just tell people that instead of letting them sit around and wait for a review that's 99.9% isn't going to take place. They are way to busy to deal with returned k-1 visa's, they just let them sit ...if your lucky you might even get a letter saying it expired but don't count on it.

Best of luck, it really stinks to be in that situation...a lot of us have been there and done that.

Yeeaaah.... in many cases I'd say you're right.

She is a USC. I am also. My fiance won't bother with this site or doing much of any immigration research and thinks I spend way too much time on here :bonk: . It's not that he doesn't care, he just thinks I'm the better person to research and advocate for us because it is my country's system.

Mercurial - According to your profile you are 22. That's pretty young. How old is your fiancee? With the Embassy in Morocco this could be very relevant.

my fiancee 26

my fiancee 26

I'll reiterate what others have said: the time has come for your fiancee to come on Visa Journey so SHE can figure out what to do next. You cannot do this for her. It's ultimately up to her how to proceed.

Both of you need to take an honest look at all the evidence that was submitted with the petition and with your visa application. Destiny laid it out for you. There are many things the investigators could have found in your evidence that lead them to believe you had ill intentions. They may have even been things you weren't aware of. Your fiance can file what is called a Freedom of Information Act request for the consular officer's notes. Instructions are here. This takes quite a long time to process but the information could be helpful to her in your next visa journey.
