CR1 Petition Denied, Please help!!!

[monito11 4]

Good morning everyone,

I'm seeking help, I just got email confirmation this morning that my wife Cr1 petition was denied. After 7 months of waiting and now this!

First I received a RFE, I did submitted all proper documentation, they had requested a judgement copy from my previous divorce.

But now I got denied and I don't know why? Has anyone gone through this in a different scenario that you submit your evidence and then you get denied.

I still haven't received the letter explaining why were the reasons for the denial. But I was hoping that after I had submitted my evidence we were going to get approved.

I read through the forums that you can appeal your denial or you can reapply all again. Another thing that is heart breaking is that my wife is pregnant and expecting our first child I was thinking that this process would be done before my son would be born, but now I don't think so. If anyone out there can please help me and advice me what steps to take or what to do, I would really appreciated. Thank you in advance!!!

Hi,

Sorry about the denial.

You will have to wait for the denial letter to see the reason for the denial, then you can address it. No one can advise you on the next step without knowing why the case was denied.

You can only appeal if USCIS made a mistake.

Best of luck.

Wait for the denial letter as hard as it is

Wait for the denial letter and keep emailing them. Don't give up!

Whatever we say would be guess work - such as was your ex wife also from another country? Was that divorce clearly done before this marriage? Any open issues there?

Can I just say I understand your trauma and I hope you two can overcome this.

don't wait for the denial letter

it will just set you back

i did just that and appealed ($110) and they upheld my appeal and validated the marriage and said reapply

in my opinion and only mine

Reapply

by the time you get to the Steps to explain anything to immigration, you will have the denial notice and can address the issues

it takes about 3 months after USCIS gets the denial letter back (that can be 2 or more months) to get the letter explaining why

and the whys are stupid

ours was He didn't know what books i read

SERIOUSLY????

JUST MY OPINION

TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT

my dad was married to mom 50 years and couldn't tell you what books she read and they lived together

OP has not interviewed yet, USCIS denied them after they received the RFE.

OP should wait to see why USCIS denied the petition so they can submit the correct documents at the next filing.

It is rare that USCIS denies at this stage though it happens all the time at the embassy that visas are refused and

petitions are returned.

Your problem was a finding of lack of bona fide and OP's has to do with the required documents and what exactly we don't know

yet. If OP files now with the same documents the same denial would happen.

Regarding my ex-wife she was from here. Yes the divorce had been clear long before I got married again. No open issues.

Thank you Auds, this is devastating first you have to wait for a period 6 month plus, they request RFE's which I submit and now we get denied.

it doesn't make sense!!!

This is extremely rare. I'm wondering if there is some mistake.

I assume that's your wife in your profile photo. You make a good couple. I am so sorry for you two.

You are saying not to wait for the denial letter, and reapply again. so if I reapply I would have to start all over from the beginning and submit everything and pay the appropriate fees.

In your case your explanation letter was not good enough to back up your case, and USCIS still deny you. WOW!!

In my case I submitted everything they had requested for evidence and more, so that I would like to know why we got denied.

I really appreciate your suggestion.

Yes, it is rare I don't understand why would they deny our case. When I know for sure I submitted everything they have requested from us.

Yes that my wife before we got married and that picture was taken here in the States out my house.

Thank you JFH

Just a thought.... Is it definitely the I-130 petition they have denied? You have in your timeline that you also filed an I-129F for a K-3 (and why not, it doesn't cost anything so it's worth a shot. We have also sent an I-129F). Maybe it's that petition that has been denied?

[monito11 4]

Let me ask you guys a question, regarding this denial from my case. Since I still haven't received the letter for my denial.
Before all this mess I went to the USCIS in Los Angeles to inquired about bringing my fiancee soon to be my wife to come and live here in the US.

I ask the USCIS representative since I honestly had no idea what were the procedures or steps I needed to take to bring here legally.

She answer me since your fiancee has a B1/B2 visa and you guys are getting married in Mexico which we did, you can just let them know at the border that you guys just got married and your return back, and then you could start the process for her residency here. Well we did mention that that we were newlyweds, but it didn't turn out as she had mention to us. They revoked my wife's B1/B2 Visa because we had said that we were married and she was coming here to live with me. They didn't allow her to cross with since her visa was not a spousal visa but a visitors visa.

Now she doesn't have a visa to cross and visit me and now we have to wait until our this mess is finish.

Can that be one the reason for her denial, we were honest and they put it in her report when was denied her entry to the US.

I also have read that she can't reapply for a B1/B2 visa since I'm already applying for her, it's that true?

Another question, Has anyone got a denied and then turn it around for approval?

If anyone has encounter something similar to this please help.

Thank you,

They denied both the I-130 and I-129F K3

[aaron2020 11,651]

With a revoked B1/B2 visa and having the intent to immigrate, it's highly unlikely that your wife will get another B1/B2 visa.

Sorry, but many people have been burned by the USCIS MisInformation line. They never should have given you that advice.

You have to stop driving yourself crazy by speculating as to why the cases were denied. You have to be patience and wait for the denial letter.
