Classification Sought

[Jenni Jones 2]

Hi there

Am new to posting on this forum, but I have been following one thread as a non member as my Fiance and I are having exactly the same problem

Twice we have had our K1 visa application returned with the wording Classification Sought

No one seems to know what this means, including USCIS. My Fiance rang them after our application had been rejected the first time and the girl he spoke to said she had no idea what it meant. He went through the forms with her line by line and apart from one little tick box that he'd missed he was told everything was fine

He submitted it again, only to have it returned with exactly the same message

Being apart is killing us. We just want to get married and start our lives together properly

I have thought about flying back to New York to just get married, then return and apply through the spouse route, rather than fiance route, but i have no more holiday allocation now until September. My Fiance can't come to England to visit as he is a carer for his former Mother In Law.

The stress of not knowing how to sought this problem is starting to turn me into an emotional wreck, my fiance is struggling too.

Can anyone help? Or give some advice?

I'm on the verge of going to my doctors to get tablets for stress over this.

How can they use this type of wording if they don't know what it means themselves??

Are you sure he filed a I-129F - and not a I-129 - for you?

The reason I aks is because many get confused with them - the names are close and the forms for different purpose. Normally 'classification sought' indicates that no category was indicated in the form, where 'classification' means the conditions under which and the basis upon which one is requesting a visa.

Have him check that he has sent the documentation to the correct address and the payment was correct.

Suggestion. Have him go over the document with you, so you can see what information he has entered on the form.

yup I was going to say the same thing!

[Jenni Jones 2]

We definitely sent the correct payment. I will get him to check which form he used when he gets home from work. Sucks having a 5hr time difference.

I've seen other people say that if you've put K1 visa on the G325A under This form is submitted with, and i know it should be I-129F, and we have definitely put that

The fact that he's been through the forms line by line with the people at USCIS indicates to me that he has used the correct form, but I will double check with him.

Sorry about my spelling mistakes and the disjointed typing. I am so stressed its unbelieveable

Have had a quick look at form I-129. I'm almost 100% certain he didn't send that form cos there is nothing on there to ask about my children, and he specifically asked me for that information.

Here is another suggestion. He can call the USCIS and schedule a INFOPASS appointment during which he can speak with a USCIS officer face-to-face. It might be the easiest way to find out what the issue with the application is and he should not have any trouble finding an office in the city.

Thanks for the advice. He doesn't actually live in New York city, he's nearer the borders of Canada. So driving to New York City would take him 6 hrs approx

Did you do a research on the search on VJ- Somebody had the same problem.

I didn't read all but in this case it seems me that it was related to the G-325:

'On your Form G-325A. What was your response to the following?
"This form is submitted in connection with an application for:"''

it's I-129F not K1

There are USCIS offices all around, not just in NYC.

Is he sending the petition to the right place? What did he put on the G-325A for the reason you are sending it?

MIDUVIL - I think you put the wrong link, you linked to this person.

There are USCIS offices all over the place, so chances are there is one in a city near him. Suggest that he look in neighboring states as well, if he is close to state lines.

i've heard this too, and we checked that the first time it had been returned. We have definitely put I-129F

Ok, he's on the phone to them now...93 minute wait to talk to someone higher up. The problem is with the I-129F, but we don't know what exactly the problem is yet. Apparently it stated which form classifaction was sought from
