URGENT! Need advice on I-130 form

[smehdiyev 0]

Dears,

I kindly ask for your advice and suggestions.

On November 6th 2015, my American fiancé came to my country and we got married here in Azerbaijan.

However, prior to our marriage, she'd applied for K-1 fiancé visa, but my case was closed and considered abandoned, since my mom was severely sick and I could not attend the interview or follow-up.

Now that all is getting back to normal, I am applying for CR-1 visa in order to get back together with my wife. While filling it out, one section put me in a hard position. This is the below section:

16. Has your relative ever been under immigration proceedings?

No/Yes

Removal

Sent

Yes Where Exclusion/Deportation

When

Rescission

Judicial Proceedings

As my K-1 visa was being processed earlier, although it was rejected and considered abandoned, can you guys please suggest me what to do about this section? Should I say yes, or no? I am truly confused.

Please help me, as this is of the highest importance to us.

Many thanks!

If all your interactions with immigration-related authorities have been the fact that you were denied a visa, then I'd say no. I believe this refers to things that would happen to you while in the US, like appearing/being ordered to appear before an immigration judge to rule on whether you should leave the country or not and other things like that.

Case rejection, petition abandonment is NOT considered being under immigration proceedings. The answer to that question, for you, is no

good luck

I would make sure the case is closed.

No you have not been through immigration proceedings. It's a weird term and confuses people but it means being removed or deported or having to go to a immigration judge, not a visa path.
