Help : 129F k-3 visa denied

[johnsmith 0]

I have just recieved letter stating that k-3 application has been denied. The reason given is that I failed to reply to one of the RFEs . But I never recieved any RFE via email. The processing date right now at NBC is mar 02, 2006. My NOA1 was in 2nd/3rd week of May

This isnt fair.

Is there any way to have them reopen my k3 application?

Also, the I30 is moving forward very nicely and I want ot continue this process. Will this rejection of k3 affect my i30?

Is it time for a lawyer?

johnsmith,

- maybe, but it might be better to reapply if K3 is still of interest to you. This goes with your 3rd question.

- no

- if you want good advice about your 1st question.

The denial of the I-129F petition for the K-3 route is not going to effect the I-130 for the CR-1 process. They are two seperate paths to different visas. How far you are into the CR-1 path should determine if its now a waste of time to apply for it to be reopened or to refile.

How far along are you with the CR-1 and which consulate? Some consulates take a long time to schedule IR/CR interviews compared to the K visa. Do you know if that applies to you?

I worked at reopening our first (revoked, don't ask) case for 3 months, if that gives you any indication. Just trying to get USCIS to respond to me took 120 days. In hindsight those months would have been better spent waiting on a new app to process.

Did you move? is that why you didn't get your notice?

I haven't moved. One reason was so this stuff doesn't happen. but my bad luck.

I didn't recieve any emails from USCIS either abt this rejection.

I have sent in my Aos form 868 adn sent in ds 230 payments.

My only worry is what my wife will say if the cousalate asks her has she ever been denied a VISA to USA. What explaination can she give?

The truth. Being denied a petition as in this case is not being denied a visa. They are two seperate things. You, the USC petitioner has been denied the petition. Your spouse wasn't denied the visa as she hasn't yet applied for it.

This is new to me as I never heard of it before. Do you have any idea how much longer? And also why longer? I've been on CR-1 boat and my file has been at the HCMC Consulate (Vietnam) since the middle of Sept. this year. I've learned that it takes from 3 to 4 months for them to schedule an interview and they do so in a first come first serve basis regardless of which type. But I'm still not sure what I've learned is correct...

Thanks.

Consulates vary. Mexico eg is a year, yet K visas are much quicker, Dominican Republic is a ridiculously long wait as well. Other consulates are on a first come, first served basis.

Contact your congressman and senators. That's what I did for my similar situation. They both said that they are going to talk to their contacts in the Service Center.
