My fiance called her senator concerning my k1 case this is the Embassy's reply...

 

Dear Ms. Martin:

 

Thank you for your e-mail correspondence of October 1, 2018 regarding the K-1 immigrant visa application of Mr.xxxxxxxxx, as brought to Senator Flake’s attention by his constituent, Ms. xxxxxxxx

 

According to our records, the I-129F petition and the recommendation for revocation have been returned to the National Visa Center (NVC) to be forwarded to Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (DHS/USCIS) because Mr. xxxxxxx failed to convince the Consular officer that he has a bona fide relationship with the petitioner.  While we are sensitive to your constituent’s concerns, we have no additional information on this case neither do we require any information from them at this time as this case is now considered closed in Lagos.  Since we no longer have jurisdiction over the case we suggest that they send any questions they may have directly to USCIS.  Public inquiries for USCIS can be made at 1-800-375-5283.  Useful information is also available on their website, www.uscis.gov

 

I hope this information is helpful in responding to the concerns of your constituent.

 

 

Best regards,

 

Acting Deputy Consular Chief

U.S. Consulate General, Lagos.

 

Please what can I do in this kind of situation ?

Omo Naija, this is your Ghana brother. I think you should abandon the fiancée visa route and your wife comes down to marry you and do the CR1 Route.

 

I believe your case however if you step back for a minute and evaluate it impartially, based on your previous marriage to an older American who filed a petition for you but died and it got revoked, then your B visa refusal, then you meeting another older American online, it will appear to an observer (consular officer) that your relationship might solely be for migrating to USA.

 

You have to force them to approve you, and in my opinion that can only happen when you’re actually married. With the fiancée visa, they have too much power/latitude to deny you.

 

You are a tough guy, you have gone through a lot. I am very impressed. Don’t back down.

Unfortunately the K-1 will not be processed any further and can not be appealed.

 

You will need to get married and file for a spousal visa.  You will need to provide better proof of a Bona Fide relationship amongst other things.  If there are issues with the CR-1 Visa and it is ultimately denied it can be appealed.

 

Best wishes for you.

I wrote the Embassy after 90 days as they said I should contact them, they replied me they said my case is out of their jurisdiction it has been return back to uscis for review.. So going for CR-1 without hearing their final conclusion could give me more issues. So I'm waiting to hear my final say from them since I'm still under administrative process and my case status still updating..
