Contact the embassy and tell them you are married. That will close the K-1 case and you can stop looking at it online and wondering what’s going on.

Why did you marry if you are still pursuing the K-1?   And, unfortunately, no other country’s ministry of foreign affairs can “make” the US department of state give anyone a visa.

I know but the embassy don't know I'm married. My last message i had from them was that my case has been assigned to the consular officer to review and after reviewing it they will contact me for further processing. I couldn't wait and we got married.

As stated above, Contact them and tell them you are married.....case closed......it's a done deal.

In that case, you are now ineligible for the K-1 visa.   Your wife will have to petition you for a CR-1 visa if you still want to try to immigrate.

The K-1 is null and void, ‘expired’ or not.

they may or may not know 

but you do

and it is time to be honest with embassy and immigation

you can not have a K1 visa and if you try to bypass the system ,  you can be barred from getting a visa

many have said 'you are no longer eligible for K1 / listen to their words

Do you know why the K-1 was refused? If the issue has not been resolved, it will cause problems for the spousal visa as well.

Again you said it means someone opened the file and the question is... Why someone should open the file? 

They are probably working on your new spousal visa application and the K1 stuff popped up and the officer logged on it to take a look at some internal information of the K1 or to see what happened to it, but that is just my opinion. 
 

If you are married and you get a K1 visa you cannot change status here because your marriage date will contradict your entry date when you file for AOS and they will definitely be on your kidney. 
 

If you get married while the K1 is still processing then you have to cancel it and go the CR1 way. 
 

Don’t jeopardize your chance or being with the love of your life forever.

Hello everyone 

My friend of mine need help from everyone here.... She said that is almost two years now she went for k1 visa interview and got refused due to misrepresentation. His petitioner has not received any letter from the uscis that his petition has been revoke. The question is does it mean that the consulate didn't return the i1295f petition to the uscis? Has anyone face same problem.

The file was returned to USCIS to die. If it was refused to do misrepresentation, then there may be a ban attached to it that she must serve before she is able to reapply. Did she receive a letter with the reason? In that letter it will state the reason and reference the section of the immigration code that the refusal was tagged with. See if you can locate that letter. 

 

You can also do an infopass meeting with the local (US) location to discuss the options with a USCIS agent. Do a google search for "infopass". 

 

If all this fails, then you can file a FIOA request. See this link for additional information: How to Get a Copy of Your Immigration File (FOIA Requests) | Nolo

 

Good luck and stay engaged in the process.

Ouch!  Misrepresentation comes with a lifetime ban, if I remember correctly.  It's time to consult the waiver experts.

Yes,  is this really for your K1 that interview was May 2019 (almost 2 years like you say here)  and so you married

Did you marry before the K1 interview ?

misrepresentation is a lie and you never lie on applications,  documents or to immigration officer

 

but if there is a lifetime ban ,  the petitioner would have to find out the reason for the ban and see a lawyer 

This will be costly and not fast
