Sorry to be dumb, what is MFS? 

Thanks Redro, Turbotax had fooled me, but I found a way to make it accept the MFS and am mailing two ammended returns to get her name on the return.

You need to find out exactly why you were denied and address those issues before you reapply, regardless of where you apply. Your file will be available at all of the consulates to view so merely moving locations, does not address the reasons why you were denied.

As I understand it the Notice of intent to revoke can take 6-12 months. one of my stepsons will age out in 52 days, ( just a kid when we began this awful process) If we lose the appeal, and apparently most do, we would be furthur delayed. So we are preparing a new I-130 for submission.

Thank you, I understand better. The reason for rejection of the I-129F we never learned. The stated ( verbal by CO) was doubtful marriage. The over 40 pages of proofs in the file and which had been sent twice were never read I guess. 

 

40 pages of proof sounds like you are trying too hard imo.  I had sent 9 pages of proof at the i-130 stage,  and increased that (a year later) to ~13 pages for NVC.  You included pictures of various places and with family members?

 

Btw, you likely can't file the w-7 for an ITIN until you file your 2023 taxes in 2024.

Well I do not seem to be as lucky as you, I gave 40 pages, photos, descriptions, rings, affirmations,  flights, they asked for more proof , gave 10 more, then they denied for not enough proof. Different embassy, thats why I asked about different embassy filing, but that is a dead end

One can no longer get ITN for foreign spouse per catch 22  recent rules. filinf MFS seems to be the only remaining option I can find.

Different countries have different burdens of proof. 

@Troy B if you have followed the story you would know his K1 was denied because they did not believe the relationship was real. 

High fraud countries/red flag couples need to show more evidence of relationship.

@zozomike, have you thought of hiring a lawyer?

 

Something is off and you are too close to thread situation to see this.

 

Consult with Hacking law or whoever to file the new i130 with you.

Thank you. We will retain representation should an appeal of the spouse visa that was returned seem possible. The new I-130 has already been filed and received. So all is in the too-familiar limbo.
