K1/K2 denied sent back to USCIS

[Wcalmt1 34]

Okay Our case was denied and has now finally arrived a the USCIS .  Took 8 weeks!  The interviewer told my fiance'e that she didn't have enough proof of our relationship. And he stated he believed she was just coming here to work, when she didn't even talk about work.  I got an E-mail stating that they are reviewing the case.  With all the delays that had taken place, the date of "expiration" 4 months from the original approval, has come to pass.  I've got multiple question running through my head.  1. How long does it take for them to review the case.  2.  if it is reaffirmed will they automatically extend the time?  3. If reaffirmed will we have to redo medical, and visa fees?  4.  if re affirmed the original Embassy was Moscow, after waiting for 2 months and "No appointment available" we transferred to Kazakhstan, will the case be sent back to Moscow or Kazakhstan?

 

It's so frustrating when no one will give you any answers.

it is extremely rare for a k1 to be reaffirmed. VERY rare. as in, it pretty much has to be denied due to an error on USCIS's end

 

You will have to either develop more relationship evidence and in person visits or marry and file a CR1

USCIS does not reaffirm a returned I-129F. They stopped doing that years ago. If returned to USCIS, it will sit to expire by policy.

Thing to do is get married and file cr-1. Or try k-1 from the beginning again but you know what they say about doing the same thing over and over again.

You can get married anywhere in the world. You will just now have to restart from scratch with a CR-1 visa now.

Your fiance should go to the local ZAGS (О́рганы за́писи а́ктов гражда́нского состоя́ния) and ask for relevant information about the requirements in your case.

This was answered in your last thread, what has happened in the last 2 months?

Just got notice from USCIS that they received the Petition back from the State dept. and they are reviewing it.

Yeah, I understand. This visa process in general is very stressful and it seems you have a complex case. In my experience, it doesn’t help to be so negative. It only elevates the stress level and the relationship gets ugly. It happened to me, so... Ask advice from people with experience, this can include lawyers. Good luck and don’t give up hope!

I was denied K1 in 2016 (Moscow).

 K1 petition was returned to USCIS and after 4 months we got mail that the  petition expired.

 

We  got married in 2017,  in Feb 2018 filed for CR1 with attorney  and now we are at NVC stage.

 

Get married, make several trips together and file for CR1.

It is a tough process, but supporting each other and meetings make it easier. Good luck

1. How long does it take for them to review the case.  15 months to 2 years
2.  if it is reaffirmed will they automatically extend the time?  USCIS do not reaffirm K1's they let them expire
3. If reaffirmed will we have to redo medical, and visa fees?   Doesn't apply
4.  if re affirmed the original Embassy was Moscow, after waiting for 2 months and "No appointment available" we transferred to Kazakhstan, will the case be sent back to Moscow or Kazakhstan? Doesn't apply (the embassy you interview at is the embassy)

 

As stated above you can either refile another K1 (not recommended) or marry and file a I-130. Sorry for your denial.

I was told the same thing in 2015 without any feedback from USISC. But we still continue with the marriage activities same here and same year my wife got pregnant and delivered a baby girl in 2016. So finally in 2018 I got my IR1 visa. All they need is just more evidence to proof. Hope this info help.
