the most comon 221g in Casa embassy

[fop 0]

Hi everybody,

simple question please for everybody can help.

I had 221g during the interview for my k3 visa in Casablanca Morocco, as I read in all the related websites that it is just possibilty of missing documents or some evedinces. I was told that my papers sent back to USCIS for further review, I warnned in the 221g paper below that I must present what they asked me for during 11 months otherwise my petetions will expired.

BUT IT IS NOW OVER 10 MONTHS WAITING AND NOT HEARD YET, DO THEY EXPIRE MY PAPERS AND THEY DIDN'T TOLD ME WHAT THEY NEEDS ???

Contact your Congressman or Senator and have them contact USCIS and the embassy for you. Ask them to find out 1) why was your petition returned and 2) where is it now. You will need to give permission to the Congress/Senator to do this which you can send them by fax. Call them up to get it started.

Generally, when the embassy says they sent the papers to USCIS for review, that means they are questioning your relationship. They are supposed to have solid evidence of fraud before they do this, but in reality they do it freely and often; without any solid evidence at all. Once it is back in the US, you should receive a NOID from the service center. Depending on the service center, this can take 6 - 12 months. (If it was K1, could be 6 months to never.) You will need to respond to this if you get it with copies of all your evidence of your relationship.

Don't worry about the petition expiring, they can automatically renew it if they want. Where is you I-130 in the process?

USCIS would not contact you the foreign spouse. They would contact the US citizen who filed the original petition. Have you and your wife checked the status of the cases using the USCIS website? Is it possible that there was an address change?

you are confused.

you have been denied a visa. the consular officer doesnt believe you are eligble for a visa for some reason. in casa usally it is because they dont believe your relationship is real and they suspect fraud.

you have no paperwork to turn in so the part on the bottom doesnt relate to your case.

this is what you need to do>>>

read the pinned section at the top of MENA titled "Returning Petitions to the United States via 221g, " and you will learn a lot. there is much to skip but you need to go through the whole string to get an idea of what is going on.

what state does your wife live in? she needs to contact her congressman and senator to get help from them. you need to know why you were denied a visa and they can make an inquiry on her behalf.

this is what is going to happen next. your wife will get a letter from USCIS saying they have your petition and casablanca wants to have your case revoked (canceled). your wife will have 30 days to respond and try to prevent that from happening.

there are a few groups created for couples who have been denied a visa. would you and your wife be interested in joining them for info and support? we have lots of couples who have beed denied a visa just like you and your wife. there is so much you both need to know. most of the people here on VJ mean well but dont know a lot about this situation.

my husband and i were denied in 05. i fought back and he arrived here one year ago.

you are going to need help to fight this. these groups can help you. if you have any further questions please feel free to ask me.

ps---your k3 will has expired. USCIS will now be reviewing your CR1/I-130. did it make it to the National Visa Center?

your senator/congressman can send an e mail to casa asking about your case. casa WILL respond with a reason as to why your case was returned. they cannot ask them to DO anything for you. they can only make an inquiry as to the status of your case. they can also CALL CSC and make an inquiry as to the status of your case as well.

here is the link you need to check the status of your case. type in your case number. look at the last letter USCIS sent to you---it will have a case number at the top with 3 letters--type all of that in the box but dont put any dashes.

chiquita posted the link in the post above. As she said it should give you the last information on your case. Sometimes the online status is not correct, but 99% of the time it shows the last updates staus and where the case stands.

Hope it helps ans gives you some idea of where your case is at the moment. good luck

I'm sorry they are not being very helpful. What city and state does your USC spouse live? You have 2 Senators and 1 Congressman, try all three, hopefully one of them will be helpful. As chiquita said, the Congressman won't be able to make them approve your case, but they certainly CAN find out what is going on with it. They can contact the embassy to ask them why it was returned, what was the reason. They can also contact the service center to ask them the status of the case and when you should expect to get further information. This is for the I-129F.

I am assuming since you ask how to check status of the I-130 that it is not approved yet. USCIS processing times show CSC is at Feb 12, 2007 for I-130 and VSC is at Jan 31, 2007. (Look for your petition number in the left column. The date they are working on is in the last column on the right.) This link is for Vermont Service Center. https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/Processtim...eviceCenter=VSC This means if you filed before their posted date, you should have heard something on it. You can also let your Congressman know that your I-130 petition is past the normal processing timeframe if you filed before these dates and you haven't heard anything. They could also inquire on the I-130 if it is past the normal timeframe.

Ideally, you want the I-130 to be approved shortly after the I-129F is returned so that any issues the embassy questioned are addressed with the I-130 approval.

since the K 3 was returned, it will be considered EXPIRED.

USCIS will now be working with your CR1/I-130. this petition will be returned to USCIS for further reveiw.

your wife will be getting a NOIR and i would think that will be shortly. she needs to have your responce ready as she will only get 30 days to resond.

once you overcome the NOIR your CR1/I-130 will go back to NVC waiting for another interview date from casa.

You are wise to listen to Chi. She has been through this. I have as well. We both now have our husbands here, but it was a battle to say the least. Can you have your wife contact me through a PM? I would like to see if I can help in any way.

Hugs to you.
