I'd say the passport photos were 25 months old. They were submitted with our application to USCIS. Our lawyer in China said it was fine but she was wrong. Still waiting now.

I would say yes. We just got a new 221g asking for new passport photos.

I met face to face one time within the 2 years, but I went to China and traveled with her to the embassy. She took brand new photos and my passport in with her to show I was there with her. Officer was impressed.

The law requires one meeting in the last 2 years. It'll be ok

Hi all. My fiance had her interview in Guangzhou on 1/24 but was refused with 221 (g) form requesting she submit my certified divorce paper along with her passport. Those documents were delivered to the embassy via CITIC bank about 10 days ago. I check the CEAC case status website daily. The status has remained "Refused" with the last update showing 1/24. This morning the site is acting strange. If I check on a computer, it still says refused and 1/24, but if I check on my phone, it now says "at NVC". We are so eager for her to get her visa. I'm really confused why the phone and the computer show different status.

My Fiance had her interview on 1/24 in Guangzhou. White 221(g) was given to her requesting she mail in her passport and my certified divorce papers. I got a relative to get the certified copy from the court and FEDEX it to us in China. Consulate is closed until 2/15 due to holiday. Her lawyer will deliver the passport and divorce paper on Friday this week. We are very hopeful that her visa is issued quickly after this is submitted. Had an amazing 3 weeks with her but I had to come back to the states 2 days ago. We are very excited for her to finally come to America. Praying for fast approval.

Good morning. My fiancé had her interview on the 24th in Guangzhou. Looks like she passed but she received a request for documentation. My divorce judgment copy wasnt properly certified. She was told if we send in the properly certified copy along with her passport and request letter then she should have her visa within 7-10 days. The lawyer we are using in China confirmed. mom flying back to America on the 4th and will go to the courthouse and get the certified copy. Slight delay but we are so excited to be this close! thoughts?

Update: Received an email this morning from the Chinese office - they just wanted us to go online and confirm her mailing address and phone number. They requested that we send the mailing address in Chinese. The email says she will be sent the packet in the mail now.

I had 3 DUIs, and still got approved to NOA2 - waiting on inteview date for her now

A couple of months ago USCIS approved and sent the visa package to the NVC. On 8/24, I received the email from NVC saying the k1 visa petition was sent to the US embassy/consulate in Guangzhou china. Today i checked status and got this message. REFUSED A U.S. consular officer has adjudicated and refused your visa application. Please follow any instructions provided by the consular officer. If you were informed by the consular officer that your case was refused for administrative processing, your case will remain refused while undergoing such processing. You will receive another adjudication once such processing is complete. Please be advised that the processing time varies and that you will be contacted if additional information is needed. For more information, please visit TRAVEL.STATE.GOV or the website for the Embassy or Consulate at which you made your visa application. For more information, please visit TRAVEL.STATE.GOV. What does this mean? why would this happen and what is next for us?

Wow. Got the I-129F approval today! I was worried because they had requested and RFE about a DUI and a protective order from the past. But I answered with all the documentation they requested 4 weeks ago. So nice to get this news today.

Got the RFE letter in the mail today. 4 questions. First 3 were about three old DUIs. They asked for the final court disposition. I'm confused how to reply as I gave them the final court dispositions, certified by the courts with my original paperwork. The 4th question is concerning. They asked who was the target of an expired protective order. I have a good friend that I previously had a fight with.... she filed a protective order for really no reason...but that isnt the problem. Her last name is the same as my fiance's last name out of coincidence. Not sure how to reply to these.

Hey guys. Our date is December 13th. We finally got an RFE notice online today. Waiting for it in the mail. So exciting to get an update after so long. Hopefully the RFE is easy. 28500 series receipt number.

We are December 13th receipt date. Wac2290028582. What are your thoughts on our timeline?
