"They once changed my husband's gender on his card from M to F. Infuriated him for years." Oh my...! But this would be easier to prove than to produce a Dead Person... : )

"It's also possible someone at the USCIS messed it up too. Certainly they would not admit it either" This is much more likely IMHO

"Well it is entirely possible the attorney did at the time hit the wrong button or select the wrong option. Doubtful they would admit this either" I really doubt that 25+ years ago it was "computerized" and there were "buttons". As far as I recall it was paper all the way through

Yes, absolutely.

I apologize for a delayed response. Sometimes I am just so swamped with work during the day that I cannot even find time to come here, even though I know it is super important for me to listen/understand/follow your advices. "During your naturalization process, did you mention divorce to USCIS / CIS?" Of course. 100%. And all the work regarding the naturalization was done by an attorney. A good one. "Also, you said earlier the cert should have said single, but you were divorced. Those are different things" At the time I was creating the OP I did not know it was such a multiple choice: for most purposes in this country it is either you're married or single. So I thought Single would the status (but "Widowed" is just total bogus: my attorney couldn't have put it on the application). Even if they would've put Single on the CoN instead of "Widowed" it would've been so much better. ... And also: I want to thank each and every one of you for your attention to this case and thoughtful advices. According to what I got from the advices, I will not be giving up on this K-1 and will continue the struggle till the end. And only then, if my fiance is still not with me, we'll be going towards CR-1. And, in turn, IR-1. I've talked to my fiance, and we're determined to fight for our relationship and this case. And I understand that the most important thing now is correcting the error on the CoN first and foremost. This was perfectly explained. Now, with that additional information that I have given (that many people were asking, as to how I got my N400), I hope to hear the advices based on those details: how my circumstances change for this case in that context. So, please tell me.

"At least 3 times now, people have asked you how you allegedly got your N400. Very experienced members here have explained it is relevant and important as it could have subtle effects on the what or how to do things." Now that I shared everything that I was asked for, nobody is saying anything. "it could have subtle effects on the what or how to do things." So how should I do things differently, please? Based on the information that I've shared.

The attorney's office was waiting for my feedback (explanations, more details, etc.) in response to the RFE concerns, and I just sent all I could yesterday after carefully listening everybody in these 2 threads what's important in this case, so I will not miss anything in my response to the lawyer. So the attorney's office is to contact me in the nearest future. "Did attorney know about naturalization certificate issue? Was this discussed when filing I-129F?" Frankly, I don't think they noticed it or had any concern about this being of any importance since all my divorce documentation was in order.

An attorney filed my K-1 I-129F petition. Everything was done properly, everything was included, with very good evidence of multiple meetings, photos, boarding passes, descriptions, etc. We expected rather an easy approval with no delays.

Yes, of course.

Okay. I have not realized it is so important. But I did agree with the statement that it might apply: "USCIS may never give your future spouse any sort of immigration visa if they're not happy about your naturalization" as the cause of these issues per se. I thought it was enough. "Why are you even supplying your naturalization certificate in your K-1 application? For proof of citizenship a copy of your US passport is another option instead of a naturalization certificate" I was given the list of documents by the lawyers office which filed my K-1 petition. The list of documents contained both: CoN and Passport. My guess the Service requires CoN if the petitioner was naturalized. "At least 3 times now, people have asked you how you allegedly got your N400." I was married to a US Citizen who turned out to be a crazy person (actually was diagnosed), even physically abusive. We divorced even before I got my citizenship because it was unbearable, just a madhouse, then and she made a lot of trouble for me, which in turn made my naturalization case difficult. "Very experienced members here have explained it is relevant and important as it could have subtle effects on the what or how to do things." Please, I am listening quite carefully and any good advice is welcome. "as if you are hiding something" I am not hiding anything. I just said it all. Sorry, I did not realize all these details were necessary.

With all due respect not so. Each and every suggestion was thoroughly thought through. And was accounted for.

Again, thank you for clarifying this! This explains it all. More and more I get the sense that I am dealing with pure evil. And in it for a long haul (possibly years). How can they make people wait 1.5+ years just to respond to your FOIA request? Isn't it just pure evil? I naively thought that I could expect some human decency and justice, but I guess there's none there... I also guess I am in the same boat with other mentally tortured people (isn't it just mental abuse at least? to go through this). I meet the requirements, I know my fiance for a very long time, we've met countless times. I dearly love her, she loves me so sweet, but we hit a wall with a Punisher given sadistic powers. This is so absurd. I'm not a criminal, never had a problem with law, I make good living and generally consider myself a good person not doing harm to others. How am I in this Boat of the Unfortunate? Looks like even if I could produce them that imaginary Dead Person (which I cannot obviously: this is discussed in the original thread this one was split from), next thing they will ask is to bring that Dead Person back to life?? Pure insanity. Torture. Abuse. But made totally legal. And at the same time on the other hand they complain so much about "other people not being perfect". Hypocrisy at its core. Well, move over humble people, I'm getting my seat on that Torture Boat... Let's sail !

"Isn't this sort of the definition of insanity? Why would you file repeatedly? The answer isn't going to change." I am not saying that I would be filing repeatedly without any changes to the case. Of course some situation might change regarding the set of documents I will have for the next filing and then I could file again. That said, please who knows, can you answer? Is it possible to apply for another CR1 once another CR1 was denied?

I know how it works. But my humble question is: Is it possible to apply for another CR1 once another CR1 was denied? (any limit on the number of CR1 filings?)

Ok, that explains it. Thanks.
