Hi y'all! I hope everyone is safe.

I lived in the U.S for almost 3 years, I was an au pair for two years and after that I changed my status to a tourist status so I could travel and stay in the U.S before returning home.

I applied to a change of status from J1 to B2 on November 2019. On August 2020 they answered my request saying my status was denied because they requested evidences and I did not answer so they considered the case abandoned.

The thing is I never received any request for evidences. And the system never showed this request as well. My only update before the denial was "name was updated" so I filled for a motion to reopen my case which is still going on and in the beginning of the year I sent a letter to USCIS to tell them I left the country and had no intention to overstay my VISA.

 

Anyway, I returned to my home country because I thought it would be better to come back and show them I never wanted to stay illegally.

My question is: if I apply for the CR1 visa, what are the chances it will be denied because of this USCIS issue?

 

I appreciate the help!

The chances of your CR-1 being denied due to a previous denial of a B2 are zero.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

How long did you overstay?

I applied for the B2 to be valid from January to June and then I requested an extension from July to December. 

First request was denied on July 17, I send the motion to reopen the case on August. The extension was denied on the beginning of October and I left on November 22nd.

The motion to reopen is still going, they haven't made a decision yet.

Sounds like you have a 3 year ban and even with extended CR1 processing times will be looking at filing a waiver.

Agree to this. 

 

Shouldn't have left if you had a boyfriend by then - since you're now talking about CR-1

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.
