Yea we talked for 3 years met onces git ingage thnncovid started....that's the only issue...we both are same age....we both have no kids

Nice. Since you have already married ( assuming after Feb 2022) go ahead and file your I-130 . 
Try filing online, seems USCIS prefers that method and are dealing with those apps faster.

If possible, at the end of the rainbow and next interview, try to go accompany him to the Consulate .

If you were already married at the time of the interview, or if the engagement ceremony culturally qualifies you as married, of course you wouldn't qualify for the K-1 visa class -- hence, the rejection.  File the I-130 as recommended above.

That’s what happened to us but we did not wait for the petition to be returned, right after the interview we knew the case was dead as soon as the officer said petition will be returned. ( trust me we gave a good fight with the embassy) lol , We quickly planned a wedding and got married in his country within a month. I returned to the USA and withdraw the petition. And refilled for a spouse visa. We did not wait for any notice from uscis or anything. It took them about 9 or so months to send us the same notice you got. The best thing is we already had our new petition refilled. We now are at the NVC stage.

Well you took all the right steps and avoided 9 months of delay….nothing else needs explaining. Stay active and tell your story to others . Great job!

You need to seriously sit down and have a talk with your fiance. There's something he isn't telling you and unless you sort that out, your CR-1 will be another bullet lost. 

 

We see another of cases here from Lagos where beneficiary thinks he'll outsmart Emabsay, blindsides USC and continues to blindside even after denial at embassy. 

 

So best bet, dig into this, lest you waste another time and money.

I doubt. As others will tell you, meeting once is not the problem, more so during COVID. 

 

Dig. Do your own homework. 

 

If you want references, dig into VJ for such similar stories. They come across here often.

If it was frued rhey would've denied rt away without the 221g....after I got married I write then to cancel bec I got married....nothing ther to dig...

We had the same reaction from the officer, but we saw each other 2 times before getting engaged,  I suggest try to see each other as much as you can.  Don’t give them any other reason for denial. Take photos from your trips if you took some. It’s hard and emotional to go through this process especially after a refusal. Keep your head up.  
do try to be at the interview for the spouse visa even if they ask you to wait outside. Good luck

Awww thanks will do just that....they didn't tell me y he was denied 

Recommend you spend some significant time reflecting on why he may have been denied.  Maybe the red flags may be overcome with more time spent together, for example?

.we are already married

I see now that you married after the interview, so that's good.

 

Did you have an elaborate engagement/religious ceremony before the interview though?  They could have felt you were "too married" for the K-1.

 

Anyway, please keep us updated on your progress with the CR-1.  Best luck.

Since you married shortly after the interview, there is really only one option now and even if the I129F had not been returned to USCIS, it, the K1, would have been denied.  I assume you got married in person and not through an online service (i.e. Utah Zoom weddings), so now you can focus on the I130 spousal visa process, and I would recommend you visit as much as you can while the I130 process is in motion.

 

Good Luck!
