First: I'm sorry to hear of your denial, especially in light of the fact you both appear committed to each other.

 

Second: I agree in full with the above, that 16 days since 2012 is/was insufficient to convince the consular officer of the legitimacy of the relationship. I would argue that marrying right away, even, is probably dangerous considering the recent K1 refusal and how it would appear down-the-road. Spending more time together and then marrying seems like the best option. From the CO's perspective, it likely seemed as if she was 'doing you a favor' by reconnecting and starting the K1 process. 

 

I'm glad to hear you are both full steam ahead on making this still work. 

we plan to get married in July.  in another neighboring country since my country is not really safe!  will it be too early in July?

I think you are evading the real issue.  Are you going to live together after marriage?  As we have told you, MARRIAGE DOES NOT SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.   When is your fiance going to come here and discuss this?

You've only spent 16 days together since 2012?

That's a major red flag. 

I would spend more time together. Maybe get married. And really show you are trying to build a life together.

Well  it looks like they are all advising you to spend more quality time, because just getting married due to the K1 denial is not going to solve the issue. The denial was attributed to you two not spending enough time together to validate a bonafide relationship between you and @Jules Joniel. 16 days together in 10 years is not sufficient.

Getting married is the easy part, it doesn't really prove much to the government. Proving you can spend lots of quality time together and can actually live together is what people are suggesting you do.

Good evening everyone, what should I do if I don't want to wait for the administrative process, and just get married and apply for a residence file.  can i get married immediately after 221g. is there a procedure to follow?

[Ontarkie 14,229]

You can get married and start the CR1 process, but depending on what the 221g & what country you will just end up in administrative processing again.
