  1. Hello, My fiancee recently attended her medical appointment in Ciudad Juarez. Unfortunately her chest x-ray contained one small spot that was questionable because she recently recovered from Bronchitis but the doctors want to do further testing for Tuberculosis, the preliminary test was negative but they are waiting for further results that will take 70 days. However, she also received an email from her consulate in Merida that says she is not eligible for a Visa and is required to return it. Has anyone heard of this happening? Does the embassy revoke tourist visas on such cases?
  2. That's great! It will be there soon! I hope everything is going well on your journey
  3. It is not long but i did not hear from them until they shipped my package. Which they do every 2 weeks. I got my email notice from them on Tuesday.
  4. Ok, I should not have said it that way, and my intent wasn't trying to cause fear. I apologize it came out that way. The official factors considered by CBP are not publicly available. So, no, I cannot say what they are supposed to officially consider. This is what I was verbally told by the few officers I encountered in our issue that they do not like it. It could be they were out of line with what was allowed, but the letter from my lawyer helped diffuse the situation.
  5. sadly - funny one time she was searched for "hot sauce" because never leave home without it? 🤣
  6. if you want to read the code it's in this mess of a page: https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid%3AUSC-prelim-title8-chapter12-subchapter2&saved=|Z3JhbnVsZWlkOlVTQy1wcmVsaW0tdGl0bGU4LXNlY3Rpb24xMTg0|||0|false|prelim&edition=prelim there's nothing there about denying someone really that i discovered other than you have to convince someone the nonimigrant intent and you get the roll of the die and on rare occasions you may roll a 1
  7. no, i just talked with them when we had an "almost" issue because she had visited me with no problems alone but when she came with both her daughters they assumed the worst because that reduced her need to return and it's just what happens. they assume by default the intent is to immigrant and you just have to show reason to return is a key.
  8. At the heart of gaining entry approval is your ability to show non-immigrant intent—essentially proving that your trip is temporary and that you have every intention of returning to your home country after your visit. As long as you can adequately prove to the agent you that your visiting and do not have a non-immigrant intent you will be fine the The Immigration and Naturalization Act sets the precedence that it will be assumed that a person is an Immigrant. The purpose of the questioning at port of entry is to additionally confirm you are here for the stated purpose of the visa "to visit" Visiting a finace(e) is not disallowed, but it adds to the a challenge to the need to prove you have an intent to return, because you have ties in the US. Albeit, it should not be difficult to overcome if you can show a valid reason you need to return.
  9. The may 14th statement looks like they received your RFE they do not provide any response to this until they are done looking at the response. You will only get three things from USCIS - Approved, Denied, or RFE. You will not get any adequate updates to explain where you are in the case. They will continue to work on it, however the messages are suspiciously sounding like they are trying to send you something and it is failing. Call them as soon as the open in the morning and confirm with them that everything is ok
  10. April 26th the sent an RFE (I had one as well in April - so i went through this) May 14th it looks like they received your response. Did you get a response and reply to it? The post on April 30th looks like it bounced back to them from the post office which would indicate you did not receive the RFE letter You can call them (right when they open you will have luck) to get clarity, make sure they have an accurate address in their computer and that they do not need further information from you. If you do not have any luck with calling them, you can call your representative they can make an inquiry for you and that can be of help.
  11. I received a response from NVC today: To Whom it Concerns: The National Visa Center (NVC) has received your petition from U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services. Your NVC case number is []. Due to your petition type, you will not receive a request for fee payment or document submission. All case parties will be notified when this petition is forwarded to the assigned U.S. Embassy/Consulate General. For the most up to date information about the U.S. Embassy or Consulates current operating status, please visit their website at https://usembassy.gov. The correct case number is []. Anyone know what this means for our process?
  12. Yes, i meant beneficiary. Because, officially, the customs and border patrol do not want you to visit under tourist visa after you have applied for a K-1 visa. What the lawyer does know is people who have applied for a K-1 visa and have come to visit and been deported because according to the agent, that is not what a tourist visa is used for and to such an issue he has written some clients a note on letter head to use as a last resort to present as evidence of the ongoing petition and that the petitioner and beneficiary are following the law and the beneficiary will return home, and for some people this letter has helped but for others it does not. It ultimately depends on the agent. There is no hard/fast rule for what is allowed.
