Well, I officially do believe in miracles and there IS fairness in life:)

For those who remembers my story, I went through CSC center, got approved without any RFEs. Details here:http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/498853-azerbaijan-k1/page-7

Then interview went fine but we were denied for some reason. Details here:http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/511000-no-reason-denial-urgent-help/page-9

We were advised that docs will be sent back to US and USCIS will review the denial reason in 120 days. I made a decision not to wait and go ahead and fly to Azerbaijan to marry my fiancee and apply for a Spouse Visa. I got all documents ready, the only thing we were waiting for was marriage certificate. The problem I had was that In order for me to get married here, in Baku, i need a paper from US that i have never been married before and eligible to get married right now. I had gotten that paper and had it notarized and everything but i forgot it at home when I was flying from US to Azerbaijan. My step-dad mailed it to me here, but it got lost on the way here. As a result we missed our registration date, which was Sep. 27th, as they needed that paper. Since we missed that registered date, we had to wait another Month to get a new date. Well I found a way how to do it without waiting a month. My step-dad overnighted new needed document and i got it this morning. We took the document and rushed to the translation center where they would translate and certify needed doc. and then we would be on our way to get married.Right before we walk in to the translation center, Kristina gets a phone call as we walk and suddenly stops and becomes WHITE. It scared everything out of me as I thought somebody passed away or something. and then she states: "Visa got approved!" then I become White too. They said they reviewed our case and decided to approve her fiancee visa. If they called 2 hrs later we would be married and Fiancee visa would be expired.

We already sent a passport to Us Embassy in Georgia and they said it will take them 10 days to provide a k-1 visa. I will be returning to US with my baby. We cannot believe this! Everything happens for a reason. If I didn't forget that document when I was traveling to Azerbaijan, it would have been too late and we would have to wait forever before we meet again.

We think one of the reason they reviewed our case again is that I went to US Embassy in Baku and asked their help to get a new document that I am not married. So US Consular in Baku talked to me personally. Maybe they have centralized system where they saw that I am planning to get married. I have no idea. that is the only explanation.

Well, there is my short but super happy story.

I wish luck to everyone and thanks to VJ again for all the help and advises!!!

I wish patience and love to everyone!!!!
