What visa was cancelled without prejudice?

I had my prior student and tourist visas cancelled in a similar fashion once my CR-1 was approved.

"Without prejudice" refers to closing a case without preventing it being brought again.

I don't know why they used it or what would cause it to be used, after being approved at the consulate.

Good luck with everything.

Hmm, sounds like they approved your visa verbally at the interview. It was then attached to your passport and now they've denied your case because they believe your relationship is solely for immigration purposes. Since they can't damage your passport by tearing out a page, they cancelled the newly attached K-1 visa. Most visas are cancelled in that manner - 'cancelled without prejudice.'

I'd definitely contact the Embassy and see what happened and what changed after the interview.

Maybe since you called the embassy several times they got suspicious of your intentions?

wow that sounds so wierd...I hope its gets sorted out soon.

So, you had the K-1 interview.. All the process was done and got approved by the Officer at the Embassy.. Now you got your passport with the cancelled stamp.. Obviously no reasons given..

Why someone posted you call the embassy so many times? If that was a possible issue, perhaps calling again is not such a good thing, perhaps an attorney may be able to help now? your congress man?

It means there was a visa issued and then something happened indicating that the visa was issued in error or prematurely. This happened to my fiance. His visa was issued and after it was issued the consulate realized they forgot to have him sign one of the required forms (I think the DS157 .... whichever form requires the signature in front of the CO).

I'm sorry that happened to you A. It does seem kind of strange. I would definitely be calling the embassy if they didn't include some kind of paperwork explaining why the visa was cancelled. Perhaps it is just a form that wasn't signed, but no way of telling unless they put it in with your passport.

If the embassy was worried about people calling multiple times, they would be cancelling out a heck of alot visas! I am sure that is NOT a reason to cancel out the visa.

[Mithra 1,185]

They did explain why they cancelled the visa. The consulate did not believe the validity of the relationship.

I'm wondering, since the stamp is in the passport already and stamped "cancelled" how would this affect any future attempts at securing a foreign visa? Would this be treated differently than a case that was simply denied at the interview?

I'm very surprised at the latest denials out of Cairo. It seems like Casa and Cairo are denying K1s like crazy.

I don't think it looks good at all. My husband had a stamp in his passport that stated he had applied for a visa and it was rejected - he wanted to come visit a friend in the US, but Argentina was going through their financial crisis and the USEM wouldn't approve anything for a young, single male. The CO asked him about that stamp and he had to explain what happened. In A's case, if it states that the visa was issued and then canceled - ummmmmmmmm, that is definitely a very bad sign, especially if it shows the reason.

you got me confused . s that mean we can refile again ???

or forget that k1 for ever , answer me please

[Mithra 1,185]

I would forget K1 all together if I were you. You may want to try for a CR1. I don't know how that stamp in your passport is going to affect any other visa attempts but you could try for a CR1. You'd have to get married in Egypt before filing for that one.

I asked my husband about that (losing the passport and getting a new one), he said it probably wouldn't help any. The information is already in the system and the passport office may indicate something on the new passport. When I told him about this particular case he was like holy ####### . He's surprised about the denials but feels it was a long time coming considering the fraud situation in Egypt.
