It is difficult to chart a course of action without knowing the reason for denial.

…

 

Your case is in administrative proceeding

 

What was the date of the letter?

 

The interview was on September 16.  The medical result arrived on September 23.  Possibly the letter was sent before the medical arrived.

Typically letters from the US government have a date on them.

Sounds like the denial letter stated that the petition was sent back to USCIS where it will die.  There is no appeal for a K-1 denial.  I recommend that the USC fiancé/fiancée go to Brazil and marry your friend there.  There are lots of documents and translations required but it can be done (I did it).  Then the USC returns to the US with the marriage certificate and files an I-130 petition for a spousal visa with supporting evidence and documents.  While waiting the 1-2 years it will take to get a spousal visa, the USC should visit Brazil multiple times to spend time with your friend and save all the evidence of those trips (original boarding passes, passport stamps, hotel receipts, a few photos), and submit that additional evidence at the NVC stage of the process.  Your friend should also try to get a copy of the K-1 visa medical results, because you said the visa interview went well and she got a verbal approval pending a review of the medical.  If there were problems with the medical, those need to be resolved prior to the CR-1 visa interview medical or it could be denied as well for the same reason.  That's my advice if they want to be together in the US.  Another option is the Brazilian spousal visa, which only takes a few months.  Then they could live together in Brazil.  Good luck!

Without more information this becomes an exercise in guesswork which isn’t beneficial to al parties. Reasons could be literally 1001.

 

My advice is she doesn’t try to use the B visa for some time. Chances are very high a zealous immigration officer at the airport refuses her entry, cancels it and returns her to Brazil expeditiously.

 

Sorry.

I would ask what she said on the medical. How did she answer about drug use and mental health stuff.

Does sound like it has been sent back, they returned the passport.

I sorry to hear this happening to her. My fiance and i are currently waiting on a decision after interview.  He was told to bring his passport and passport pic back to embassy after his medical results were ready for him and his two year old son. He sent everything back in about three weeks ago and still no updates.
