I do not disagree with your assessment especially considering it was filed merely 2 months ago. It's a choice he can utilize.

It’s understandable to feel anxious about this situation, but the good news is that minor errors like this can often be corrected without significant issues. The mistake in your middle initial ("R" instead of "O") is a small discrepancy, but it’s important to address it proactively. When you mail the required document (CENOMAR) and your passport, include a short explanation letter. In the letter, clearly state the error you made on the CEAC form, mention your correct middle initial, and provide a copy of a supporting document (such as a birth certificate or government-issued ID) that shows your full, accurate name. Apologize for the mistake and politely request that they update their records. Additionally, check the embassy’s website or contact their support team to confirm if there is a specific process for correcting errors. Ensure you mail everything the embassy requested as soon as possible, including the original CENOMAR, your passport, the explanation letter, and any supporting documents. While the correction may cause a slight delay in processing, minor discrepancies like this typically do not result in visa denial if addressed promptly. Monitor the status of your application on CEAC after mailing your documents, and if you don’t receive an update within a reasonable timeframe, follow up with the embassy directly. Being upfront about the mistake and providing the correct information should help resolve the issue smoothly.

USCIS typically requires formal, written requests for significant actions like canceling a petition. Online inquiries are generally considered informal and are used to communicate questions or updates, not formal decisions or cancellations. If your cancellation request was submitted only as an online inquiry, it is unlikely to have been processed as an official cancellation. However, this is not guaranteed, as some cases may vary. Since you have already sent another inquiry to rescind the cancellation, USCIS will likely disregard your initial request if it was informal. To avoid any confusion, you might consider following up with USCIS by submitting a written letter explaining the situation and confirming your intention to continue with the K-1 process. Be sure to include details such as your case number, petitioner and beneficiary names, and filing date. It’s also essential to monitor the status of your K-1 visa application through the USCIS website using your receipt number or by contacting USCIS directly. If there is any indication that your petition has been canceled or marked for withdrawal, address it immediately by calling USCIS or seeking legal assistance. If you are uncertain about the impact of your actions, consulting an immigration attorney may provide additional guidance. They can help ensure your case proceeds without further complications. By addressing the issue promptly and confirming your intent with USCIS, you can likely resolve the situation and keep your K-1 visa application active. Let me know if you need help drafting a formal letter or require further assistance. But remember this is USCIS we are talking about. Noone really knows how they work

I hope you’re able to overcome this situation soon and reunite with your loved one. As many have already mentioned, immigration processes are rarely straightforward. There is often a lot of discretion involved, especially up to the point when the decision is made at the airport. May I suggest that, instead of focusing on the reasons behind the discretion used against your case, you proactively address the 221(g) by finding someone in the workforce to act as a joint sponsor? It seems like you have everything else in order. While I understand that asking someone for this kind of favor can be challenging, it might offer a quicker resolution to this difficult situation. Secondly, if you firmly believe that the consular officer was in the wrong (and it’s possible that he was), you could consider pursuing the legal route and consulting with an immigration lawyer as soon as possible. Sending you my best wishes and hoping you can resolve this matter sooner rather than later.

That’s fine, I don’t agree but I still responded. Anyways I think I got a few good advice, appreciate it much

even though it has nothing to do with my question But they are rich kids are teenagers she is a housewife husband has multiple businesses

lol

yeah I think it makes sense, why create an issue when she is already coming here twice a year for small visits. I appreciate all your guidance.

My fiance at the time was a female from Pakistan, we did not had any issue, i went for my engagement we took engagement pictures, we documented everything, i came back filed for K1, everything smoothly, no major age difference etc. I was divorced as well, i thought that will be a problem. In my batch of filers there were a lot of males as well, some were sent on lengthy APs some were not, actually the guy who interviewed the same day my wife did, they both got the visa same day. My wife was in AP for a short time as well, you can go on AP blackhole for whatever reason and no one will be able to tell you and how long. K1 and Marriage visas are two different choices and they both should be considered hard, I did my research for me at that point in time K1 was the right option and I am very glad I chose that route. You can check my timeline for exact dates etc. all said I believe that marriage visa is a much stronger visa albeit it might take a little extra but it definitely has financial benefits, some people here are generally dismissive of the K1 visa (especially from countries that do not have good reputation) but there is a reason that visa exists. I would suggest to do your research on this forum, there are so many good guides here and so many good conversations that have happened before you ask this question, make yourself familiar with all the nuances before making a final decision. I hope you and your loved one are together sooner than later but it is not an easy journey and you guys need to have the mindset one way or the other to be able to accomplish the end result. best of luck

which country you were coming from might also matter, my sister-in-law is flying in from Pakistan which is the capital of visa frauds, so definitely gets more scrutiny

of course, no one can predict CBP, all her visits so far have been 2 weeks or under, and she wasn't questioned once at the airport. Always travelled with set itineraries, cash, ties back home etc. but was never asked. Funny enough, she is concerned that it is too short of a turnaround and might raise a red flag and I am thinking that her fear is unfounded. Basically I am trying to reason that she should visit, its a proper wedding and I do not see how CBP will question her intent when her kids, husband, business etc are in another country. But yeah you are right I assume.

My sister-in-law has a multiyear visit visa, she went to the US in December last year and is planning to come back in Feb to attend a friend's wedding, she is concerned that she might have an issue because of the short turnaround time. Feb visit will be her 3rd visit in the past 12 months. 1st visit was in April last year for 2 weeks, the second visit was in December for two weeks, and then this upcoming one. She does not want to have issues because she wants to keep traveling to meet her family here in the US and she thinks that turning around within two months is not a good idea. I think her fear is unfounded as there is no intent for her to stay because she has her kids, husband, etc in Pakistan. but again I thought I would ask the people who might have gone through this. thanks to all in advance.

Hopefully this will be corrected immediately, my then fiance now wife I also made a mistake but it was early in the process of I-129, I sent them the birth certificate and they quickly fixed it without any hesitation or asking for anything else.

Assigned to Nebraska Service Center, letter rcvd today for 48 month extension and second letter for reuse of Biometrics. Another milestone in this long journey.

Tempe, AZ is where I mailed it too but don't know what service center, I am assuming it will be texas as we are in Texas.
