Where to file a lone i-212 after already had an interview?

[Faith77h 0]

Hello, 

 

I had an interview for k1 on Jan 18.

It was denied, with an instruction that I need to file i-212.

We got a Lawyer to help prepared thr application and papers. Now it is ready but we just got an email from lawyer that she doesn't know for sure where to submit?!  She said it is because the the 212 application should have submitted together when I went to an interview. 

She asked me to call embassy. I couldn't get through the ivr to talking to a real person.

 

Please give some advice what should I do next? 

Is it me, an applicant, to file? Or petitioner(fiance ) to file?

Where do I make the payment for application?

 

Lawyer said process is she will send package to me, then I get motorized and send/gove to embassy here in Bangkok.

I honestly doubt the lawyer experience and capability, and I don't know if the processe she told me is correct.

 

Do I make/request an appointment online? I dont think it will allow me to as it's only for visa interview or citizens business. 

 

I was just surprised and frustrated of why the lawyer doesn't know where to file..

 

More info is

I am in Thailand now. Fiance is in USA. The lawyer is in USA.

 

Thank you so much in advance.

hello - i am not sure i totally understand. form i-212 is for "Permission to Reapply for Admission into the United States After Deportation or Removal". have you been in the states in the past, overstayed your visa and have been deported / removed?

 

once you have been denied your k1, that's it, that petition / visa application is dead. you can appeal the denial but that's just a wait of time and money i believe. what you can do is start a new k1 petition again.

Hi iamdegie, 

I believe that my k1 petition is still valid.

The refusal worksheet stated that it is valid for 1 year after visa being denied.

 

My question is..

Do I mail the i-212 to my consulate or do I need to make an appointment to send in person? 

There is a payment in check or money order I need to pay for this application as well.

 

Yes. I-212 is for permission to reapply after deportation.

Instructions where to file are on the I212 instructions sheet available on USCIS.gov. Embassy won't take it.

Hi Javaree

 

What is VD?

So you mean for lawyer to send i-212 to Immigration port in Dallas, even i am in Thailand? And they will coordinate to consulate here later...?

 

How is expedite being done? I thought expedite request need a to have really strong reasons backup somethig like serious health or treatment issues.

 

Thanks.

Thank you Minimelo.

 

I read and cant see where my category should be.

 

I am not in the USA. Fiance is in USA.

I am filing K1. Application was filed in June '16, approved in Sept '16, interviewed Jan' 17. 

So i-212 should be filed in Thailand where I am now. Or directly file in USA as fiance and lawyer are there?
