K1 Visa Petition Revocation.

[Secky 0]

Hi Everyone, So I went in for my interview on the 12th of January in Lagos Nigeria and I was refused and on the paper that was giving to me was an asterisked part which reads "Your visa application is refused for administrative processing. You will be informed when processing is complete." 

 

They got back to my fiancé in about four days after my interview saying "According to our records, after the review of your immigration visa petition, the casefile is being returned to USCIS with a memo explaining that the officer recommends that the underlying petition be revoked. 

Please I need to know how bad this is, and what we can do at this point. Also, what could be the possible time frame for things to be sorted out?

 

Thank you.

Well, the petition is being revoked, so that is certainly not good.

What are the red flags in your case?

[Boiler 45,930]

Basically it will be returned and allowed to die.

 

Usually in this sort of situation people marry and file CR1.

 

I assume they considered you do not have a valid relationship, well that would be normal for this sort of case.

I agree with the above comments, and there is no appeal process for a K1/I129F process.  Unfortunately, it is time for you and your fiancé to discuss your next steps in your relationship.  They can try another K1/I129F, but unless things change such as more evidence of a bonafide relationship, it may be the same result (I assume this is why it was denied by the consulate).  You also need to look at the red flags that may be there, age differences, few in person visits, etc.

 

Good Luck!

Just asking: the red flags are not automatically overcome by a CR1. So why is it advisable to do this?

Hard to say at this point as it is only being assumed this was the reason for the denial.  It could have been something else, so that will need to be clarified.  However if the couple could not get over the hurdle of a bonafide relationship with the CO and it is in fact a bonafide relationship, many couples proceed with marriage and a spousal visa application rather than a new I129F submission.

I was just cutting to the chase and avoiding many pages.

How bad?   The K1 is over / no appeal for K1

If the USC wants to continue a visa process,  she and u need to marry,  spend a lot of time together,  keep proof of the visits like boarding passes,  hotel receipts,  photos of u together

to have a CR1 (spouse visa approved ) u need to do all of the above and show the Nigerian family approves of the marriage 

 

https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/red-flags-that-make-uscis-suspect-marriage-fraud.html

 

A marriage certificate is only the beginning. In order to qualify for a marriage-based green card in the U.S., you must prove more than that you are legally married. The U.S. government requires evidence that your marriage is bona fide, meaning that you are sharing, or are making arrangements to share, a life together.

 

Examples of what immigration considers suspect relationship

1. no shared language

2.  intending immigrant professes love within a few days of meeting

3.  vast age difference

4.  differences in religion

5. difference in social class or cultural background

6. unequal educational background

7. history USC sponsors K1 or CR1 visas

8. non citizen comes from high fraud country

9. woman is not of child bearing age

10. criminal history of either party

11. non citizen's county is know to produce fake documents

 

Not to worry Boiler i did the pages

Based on your own intuition based on the questions you were asked  why do think the visa was denied?

OP

knowing this can help u get thru the CR1 process so its important

[randy32 165]

Sometimes the red flags are not obvious. If that is the case, just build the best cr1 case that you can after getting married.

If you don't know why the k1 was revoked by now, you will like not figure it out.

I think its because you can fight a CR1/IR1 denial.

If a couple files another K1 and it's denied again they have to start all over for the again for a third time.

Thank you.

Have you ever applied for a visa to the US before? Have you ever been married before or said you were married when you weren't?

 

Can you remember the line of questioning at the interview? Others here can help you figure out how to fix the issue if you decide you want to stay with your US partner. 

But, you should both discuss the possibility that she might have to move to Nigeria.

They think you're in it for a green card.
