Denied, Reaffirmed, AP 4 months, Interview 221g sent to US to Revoke

[dwheels76 5,468]

Okay this is one for the ages and never have I seen anything like this. (Asking for a friend).

History

1. Petition denied at interview in Lagos (2012). Petition sent back
2. Reaffirmed FALL 2013. Interview scheduled January 2014
3. Put in AP from January to April 2014.
4. 2nd interview scheduled
5. No questions asked just CO saying your petition will be sent back for Petitioner response. 221g given.

This has been over 2 years in the making and I sure have never seen a denial reaffirmed, put on AP then Denied again and being sent back.

The 221g says " that the relationship between the beneficiary and petitioner is not bonafide". Just like the 1st letter they got at denial interview in November 2012.

Any advice or direction I can help this person out with?

They probably have some dirt on the beneficary that they are sending back with the packet this time. They will then call the petitioner into a local office and reveal the suprise and ask if they want to carry forward. I have seen it before and they had pciture of the benificary with a Nigerian wife and child and the birth certificate to match .

Yikes. Well at least the Petitioner found out instead of this mystery not knowing. Thank you

[Jawaree 717]

Yep maybe field investigation done, they have some dirt

its not bonafide, or there's infidelity...They need a

good atty to query this matter, I don't think USCIS

will reveal much than a denial to them.

1. No questions asked just CO saying your petition will be sent back for Petitioner response. 221g given.

That implies they are going to reveal more, they will ask the petitioner in for an interview , show them the dirt and ask if they still want to proceed with the petition,. in the case I know of the petition did not attempt to proceed with the petition.. This usually only happens when there absolute proof that there is fraud in the relationship.

[RhettVoe 282]

Sounds about right..the embassy apparently has some other info on the nigerian spouse that the petitioner is not aware of, like another wife/kids that he 'forgot' to mention...who knows, they may already be in the US, waiting for him to arrive....sounds like a wake up call is coming for petitioner.

Wow

I have seen this also, petition getting routed back and forth like a ping pong ball between USCIS and embassy, reaffirmed and then

returned again.
After petitioner responds it should either clear up or get revoked but there can be several back and forth fiascoes.

I am thrilled to see it if a factual reason will get revealed, they should do that more often and sooner.

However it could also mean that there is something else they want from the petitioner as proof of bona fide.
It has also been the case that the petitioner was accused of 'having someone on the side' that needs 'clarification.'

I have seen where mail being delivered to the petitoner's home was discovered

and she was accused of having a boyfriend and the beneficiary was

made aware of it by the CO. Petitioner denied it.
Don't know what happened in the end with that case.
So, since the petitioner is being asked to respond it could be dirt on beneficiary or petitioner.

Please let us know what happened, very interesting to see the hold up reason and outcome.

Love the popcorn emoticon. I have referred her to go to Lauren Scott since its Wednesday and her free chat online is today (free consult ya know). And also referred her to Marc Ellis but he isn't taking any new cases until June 2014 but I told her to seek him anyway maybe he knows another GOOD immigration attorney.

I am very interested myself and pray it has a happy good "No surprises" ending. We don't need another dwheels SURPRISE before interview.

uh oh.. dare I ask what you mean by this?

My husband married someone else a week before his interview. So needless to say. My journey ended April 15th, 2013.

That's why I am so passionate to helping others get their happy ever after. No tears. With pain in my heart your journeys help me heal.

This is my story with my wife, i was the beneficiary, and i was giving 221G, and i had good interview as far as i knew, they sent my case back to USCIS and we were waiting for over 4 month, we kept calling and calling then we received a surpise that our case was expired and we need to refil, we did refill and guess what same thing 221G, sent back this time we had congressman working with us and all it was because the CO asked me question about what kind of car she is driving and i and gave the correct one but my wife at that time had a diffirent car on her name but her mom gave her a loaner car until she is get it fix, also one of the question they ask me how much she make, i said around 30K but she was making at that time like 26K, another question was what why are you bring $2000 i said because i will my money in US not my country since i am going to immigrate, and CO said are you trying to pay her to help you come to US i said NOOOOOO she makes more money and $2000 does not worth 2 years of hassle and waiting, she can make $2000 in less then a month, it turn out that the CO read one of the emails we were sending each other back on 2005, about giving her the money to buy me a camera and computer so we she can bring them with her when she will visit, and email was just stating that she can paty it and i will pay her back. and another email she sent me and said that she will get them to me as a gift, and i replied back and said you know what we will be as wife and husband and my money is yours so i will give you the $2000 to put in a join bank account.

so for the reason above that denied me visa, but we fought and i am here now, and i am a USCIS just have to be patien, they are just doing there job but it will cost time and money.

Oh, dwheels76....HUG. HUG HUG HUG.

I am so sorry that this happened to you. You (and anyone else going through similar things, for that matter) deserve better.

I commend you for turning your pain around and focusing your energy on helping others.

I believe that because of this, a big blessing will be coming your way.

Thanks for all you've done and continue to do.

ok yikes. Glad that worked itself out.

This is why it's a good idea to not send emails or conversations that talk about these things because anything you say can be used against you.
