I wish we did our due diligence. I was so eager to file the case that we didn't get to talk to any lawyer. lesson learned.

You should stop being negative all the time.

@Boiler @Crazy Cat@Verrou @Family @Redro @carmel34 @Bob in Boston @Timona and everyone else I couldnt tag.
 
First I want to tell you guys thanks for the feedback and I am very grateful for all your responses. The reason I am responding to everyone at once is because I might reach my limit again today and I wanted to respond to everyone.
 
Yes, I am aware that a lot of people buy divorce decree but for us went to a real practicing lawyer. The problem is it wasn't filed in court. He just gave us a decree and said it was finalized. Also, we are not used to divorce proceedings in Nigeria. people dissolve their marriages without going to court.  We didn't know we had to go to the court and file .Anyways we have gone and done it the right way. And Yes the previous marriage was real.
 
@Pinkrlion  We got traditionally married in 2019 and legally after the divorce for finalized in court 2022.
@Redro the interview is in Lagos so I guess I have to be patient.
 

Hello everyone.
 
in 2019 my now husband was denied the K1 visa due to misrepresentation. This is the email we recieved from the embassy "
Thank you for your patience as we completed the administrative processing on your case. It was confirmed that the divorce decree provided in your case did not originate from the Delta High Court and is a fraudulent document. As such, the consular officer determined that you are not qualified for the K1 visa and has declined to extend the validity of your petition. The petition will be returned to NVC with a recommendation it be revoked.
 
Additionally, you have been found ineligible to receive a visa under INA Section 212(a)(6)(c)(i) for willful misrepresentation of your marital status. Please see the attached letter. This is a permanent ban from travel to the United States. Should you apply for a visa again in the future, you will require an approved waiver from USCIS before a visa can be approved."
 
We are now married and have a 3-year-old together. we also filed a 601 waiver which has not been approved. I also filed the i130 pettition and he has been approved and we are just waiting on an interview date. I am aware that the waiver must be approved first before they can give the visa but my questions is this.
 
I thought they can only give a permanent ban if you claim to be  USG when you are not?
Also does the fact that we are married change anything. is the waiver still needed. A lawyer told me I only needed a waiver if we still needed the K1 but we don't need it anymore since we are married. (not sure if this is true).
Also, with the 601 waiver, does USCIS give updates online or mail? we filed since february of last year and there has been no update on the case. the status shows it was recieved on the 17th of feb 2023. Nothing more.
We have contacted USCIS to let them know the i130 was approved so they can expedite but they arent. Do we need to send them a copy of the approval.
 
PLEASE ADVISE.
