I-129f petition, never received RFE and now we got denied

[InesD 2]

At CSC they are working on Jan petitions. I am not sure with rerouting what every place is doing. You can look at progress threads to find out.

You are given a limit of 68 days on a RFE, so if your denial was at the end of Jan, that means you would have gotten approval in late Nov if your packet was complete. Still pretty fast.

Remember, you just need an approved petition to be at where you would have been now. Then there is waiting time for an appointment. But 9 months? Not right now.

yes, you are right. the RFE was sent ( or not sent ) to us on 9th of november. the actual petition was sent by us the end of september. I guess now we can only refile the same package as was and then call them every now and then just to make sure the same mistake does not happen again.

thank you so much for all your help

You can sign up for case updates at uscis.gov. They aren't perfect, but did he do that before?

Dont give up...you just need to take some deep breaths and refocus .When we get stressed about the Visa stuff we call for a Visa free evening .Just forget it for a few hours and focus on each other .It is so easy to get consumed but you will feel better if you give yourself a little break...no thinking or talking about it for one evening .Hang in there and regroup with a call to the Ombudsman.So sorry you are going through this.

no, of course we will never give up. and we are trying very hard to regroup :-) we did after the first shock about the denial, then waited and waited for the letter. regrouped again. focused on the infopass and thought we will be wiser after that. last night very happy and enthusiastic about what the USCIS lady at infopass said. sleepless night because of doubts : isn't it sort of illegal? but why would she suggest that ? is that crazy ? today all day gathering information what to do. after all I read here and elsewhere and after 2 phone calls to tier 2 people again deep frustration. regrouping....feeling absolutely helpless and at loss at the moment. it will pass and we will sort this out somehow. just happy about all you guys here trying to help. Big thank you !

we created an account on their website in november. to see more details in the case update. even there was never anything about an RFE sent. he told the last tier 2 person and she said, that the website update is not always working. in our case NOTHING worked concerning the RFE. everything else did.....

Okay, at least he checked.

The one thing to remember about checking your initial package with the guides on here is that sometimes RFEs get sent for things that don't "show up" in the guides. For example, maybe you thought your photos conformed to the required format, and the RFE was for better photos.

Wishing you all the best on this. You've already been through so much.

It can be anything really...my fiance just emailed a G 639 form in hopes that we can get some light in this matter before we refile. thank you for your wishes :-)

also another question : does anyone know or can refer me to a link if a closed case petition is still on record in the system ? I've read something somewhere but can't remember how I found it. thank you !
