Wasn't your case in AP? How long since ypur interview?

It means they have completed their AP and are refusing a Visa and returning your petition asking USCIS to revoke it.

Expect about 8 months to a year before you hear anything from USCIS.

I'm really sorry. Wasn't your first petition returned also so ypu refilled?

omg that sucks, sorry to hear that.

[Alaska2012 462]

What reasons have you been given when prior visas have been denied? Have you done all you can to fix the prior reasons? Just getting married won't fix things if the K1 is denied

Thanks , No reason just like now .. i really dont know what we can do .. its been 5 years married , and last time she visit she stay 6 month ..

[Ebunoluwa 6,136]

There is nothing you can do right now . In 8 to 12 months you will get a letter from USCIS stating the reasons of your visa refusal and then you have a chance to overcome that with the appropriate evidence. As for now you can continue to visit and wait .

So you have a

1. Denied K1 - why?
2. Married filed I-130 Denied at USCIS - why?
3. Refiled I-130
4. Interview, put in AP 6 months
5. Petition is being returned

Do you have a lawyer?

After your denials did you ever request your FOIA I personally believe all this is tied together. This is just too much denials and a lawyer probably would have gotten the actual transcript of the interview to find out what was said and asked.

So you have a

1. Denied K1 - why? Never given a reason
2. Married filed I-130 Denied at USCIS - why? Reason given was " Not a Bonafied Marriage / Relationship
3. Refiled I-130
4. Interview, put in AP 6 months 3 months
5. Petition is being returned

Do you have a lawyer? No and never request FOIA because they let K-1 case expire at uscis , so I did not know I could still request this FOIA

At this point you do not need a FOIA because USCIS will send you a letter (NOID/NOIR) which will list the reason(s).

This letter can take several months to arrive. Yes, you could have requested a FOIA for your expired K1.

When you receive the letter from USCIS you will know the reason(s) and can respond accordingly.

If USCIS is satisfied with your response (you get 30 days to respond) they will reaffirm and send it again to the embassy with rcommendation

to approve and the embassy can 1.) approve with or without a second interview or 2.) return it again (usually they will approve at this point).

If USCIS is not satisfied with your response and your evidence to support it they will deny the petition.

You will have one shot to get it right, when you receive the NOID/NOIR so I advise you to post the reasons for feedback.

In some cases USCIS will not send a NOID/NOIR letter but will reaffirm and send the petition to the embassy, you will then hear from the

embassy, if not then contact them at that point.

[Shiobhan 235]

obviously there is a problem, get a lawyer

[Ebunoluwa 6,136]

Thanks for your response well noted!

You are welcome.

Meanwhile go over the questions and answers from both interviews with a fine tooth comb and ask yourselves what was the CO

harping on, what was said. Address your red flags if you have any so you will be well prepared ahead of time to respond.

Visit again, as much and as long as you can.

Has a previous B2 or other visa application been filed by the beneficiary ?

Did the 221g have a set of numbers and letters on it ?

Was any box marked or anything handwritten on the 221g sheet ?

[wantknow 11]

Still waiting for a answer from USCIS. I call and call get same response over and over which is wait 60 more days.

They sent a letter requesting more information which I sent back right away. They would make a decision after this info was received now we are in another year and still no answers! My last call I asked for a supervisor and was told I would have to wait until 15 days before I can speak to anyone about our case.
