Crazy Cat

Seems like you were denied due to material misrepresentation.

It's all over the place.....I have seen cases approved anywhere from a few weeks to 44 months. (My wife's case was 44 months- NO RFEs). Filing for citizenship has bumped some (like ours).

Sounds like normal USCIS process....slow and agonizing at times.

If you marry, you no longer qualify for a fiance visa. You would have to start over from scratch. This is a long process which could easily take 18 months or longer. You might want to consider marrying, and starting the spousal visa process now if you are not prepared for the long finance process waiting period. Besides, many of us believe the CR-1 is superior in many ways: Every couple has their own priorities, and each couple must decide which visa is better for their situation. K-1 More expensive than CR-1 Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork) Spouse can not leave the US until she/he receives approved Advance Parole (approx 6-8 months) Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (approx 6-8 months) Some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed. A K-1 might be a better choice when 18-21 year old children are immigrating also In some situations, marriage can affect certain Home country benefits, making a K-1 a better choice A denied K-1 is sent back to USCIS to expire K-1 entrant cannot file for citizenship until after having Green Card for 3 years. Once an I-129F has been approved, delaying the case is difficult to impossible if the need arises. CR-1/IR-1 Less expensive than K-1 No Adjustment of Status(I-485, I-131, I-765) required. Spouse can immediately travel outside the US Spouse is authorized to work immediately upon arrival. Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card within 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US Opening a bank account, getting a driver's license, etc. are very easily accomplished with GC, SS card, and passport. Spouse has legal permanent Resident status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to US. The clock for citizenship filing starts immediately upon entry to the US. A CR-1/IR-1 case can be delayed indefinitely at NVC if the need arises.

Why did you think you needed a partial exam? Was something omitted previously?

Actually, that is not proof of intent to re-locate. Concentrate on actions showing real intent and concrete actions toward actually moving to the US as @milimelo explained. Good luck on your move.

Your thread is in the Adjustment of Status from K1 forum. Everyone is allowed to post.

Good luck in your search, but no right-minded health care professional is going to sign off on someone else's earlier exam. There is a big, big liability consideration. It will be a full exam....and it will cost several hundred dollars. Immigration isn't cheap. The path of least resistance is just to pay for the full exam.

They are clueless. The expiration date on the visa is irrelevant. They need to read the visa. An endorsed immigrant visa is valid proof of legal residence in the US. Maybe a a stern letter from an attorney will educate them.

Sounds, to me, like you have done everything right. The consulate normally extends I-129F approvals in 4 month intervals (up to a year). I would continue to try contacting them.

I would wait and ask the consulate to accept the child's I-130 at wife's interview. They have the discretion to accept the case. The only other option (which the consulate might tell you) is to file the I-130 with USCIS ASAP and ask for an expedite.

That is inaccurate. The extension letter and expired Green cards are evidence of work authorization and legal residence...Further evidence would be an ADIT stamp in passport. You also have an unrestricted SS Card.

You surrender your Green Card when you take the oath, not when you interview.

The Department of State does not process or produce Green cards. Did you pay the $220 immigrant fee? You need to deal with USCIS.

It depends on why you were rejected.

100% normal. We filed wife's I-751 in March 2019. Wife got "case is ready for an interview to be scheduled" in May of 2019......No updates until approval in December 2022 after a combo interview.

1. No. Service centers are selected by USCIS based on their internal process. 2. Yes, at the discretion of CBP at every entry.

A couple options: 1. Receive all required vaccinations again. Generally, this can be done during the medical exam in many cases. 2. Have hospital perform titer measurements to determine presence of antibodies.

Hard to say. Sadly, SS Cards are hit and miss. You could go to a local SSA office and inquire.
