K1 Visa

[WlovesS 0]

My fiancé went to his k1 visa interview on 8/30/13 in Mumbai and he had all proof that would possibly be needed. When it came to the interview questions they were as follows: where did you met, who long have you known each other, what will you do for work there, and than date/location of the wedding. We had to sign a 90 intent to marry from his arrival. Now where does it state a date and location of wedding must have? He was trying to explain our possible plans, cut him off, said denied due to no supporting documents or sufficient evidence when they asked for nothing. Than after printing out the general denial letter of no supporting documents he asked what do you need I have everything here and they said denied on grounds of no date/location of wedding. Any suggestions on what to do next or who has has the similar experience as this?

I don't have any suggestions, just an observation

your fiancée must have expressed some sort of lack of confidence or confusion probably from being nervous that led the interviewing officer to believe he was scrambling to make up an answer.

it is doubtful that is what the letter states

I am sorry to say that is very likely your petition will expire before it can get reaffirmed .. basic feelings here are to go get married withdraw the 129 and refile for a cr1.. and yes I know that is not what you want to hear

While it seems odd to me, don't you think set a wedding date is part of custom in India? I've heard some US embassies need a proof of engagement ring because it is custom of its country where a beneficiary comes from.

Its best you contact your congress man since you have all required docs. My fiance had his on the 29th and with everythign he went with they did not ask for anything, not even a single proof. All the CO did was ask him bunch of questions. It really depends on the CO and some CO are not just happy that two people are in love.

It can also depend on how he answered the question when he was asked the date and the location because my fiance was asked when our wedding is going to be and he answered that the date is not finalized yet but we are loking towards the end of the year or early next year. If visa was granted he has 6 months to leave and 3 months when he gets here to marry which is 9 months so a lot of people do not set wedding date or even make plans until they have the visa in hand because 9 months its more than enough to plan a wedding. Denying him due to wedding date and location is completely wrong.

My fiancé is from India. His interview was in Mumbai. I read last night in the I-129f instructions on page 5,# 7 (b) "submit evidence that you and your fiancé intend to marry within 90 days of your fiancé entry as a K-1. evidence of your intention to marry may include a statement to intent to marry. It must be submit evidence for your marriage will occur on this date and place. No where does it state date and location is required. We wrote the congressman but we got our petition approved in a month so we are planning to submit a new I-129f petition by Friday. USCIS said to write a letter to withdraw my old case and we are submitting a new one. Thoughts on this?

You know something.I hired an attorney to help us and am not getting advice.Only advice i got was try to get married and try the spouse visa route.If i would think re-submitting would help Ill try that.It seems to me that once the K1 was denied they make issues to approve again.So what I understand from you is that the K1 was rejected and USCIS said resubmit the papers?what about an extension would that have helped anything?What was the notice they gave your fiance when your K1 was denied?
