[happyus 0]

Hi,

I would appreaciate some help on a k-1 case that was reafirrmed on june 29 2009.The problem is I got married in jan 2009 and now I get a letter from USCIS saying this and its being sent back to consulate.I got married after my husband got denied in 2007 1 year ago.I never thought they would reafirm it after 1 year of waiting for the letter to show more proof.

So we got married,and dont know what to say to this letter I got.I am doing this all myself,no laywer,I fired the one yesterday when he tried to take 4,000 for the k-3.He wrote a email to the emabssy asking a question,not state department and tried to charge me another 500 on top of that.The embassy never got the email,I called.I got fed up and fired my lawyer yesterday and stopped the check also.

So now I am stuck,I dont know wether to withdraw the case and apply for I-30,I need help on what t write to the state department on what to say and why I got married and withdrawing the k-1 .Im nit good at writing these things.I was told by Marc ellis never wothdraw a case,but this one got reafirmed,so im confused..HELP!

Here is what the letter says from USCIS...

The above petition has been aproved and forwarded to the listed consulate.Please contact the consulate with any questions about the visa insuance,and etc...

Should I contact the emabassy?Should I email them or write them in a posted letter?What should I say?I dont want to ruin anything.I give up on lawyers.

Thanks all!!

1st, I really feel for your situation. I know what it feels like to be denied a K1, as we went through the same situation this past December. If I were you, I would seriously re-consider Marc Ellis, he is the most knowledgable on the subject. Have you already applied for the K3/CR1? If you originally filed in Vermont, it looks like they have been re-affirming cases left and right. California (which is where our original I-129F went to) is still letting them expire. IMO, I think you should write a letter to USCIS to explain the situation, not a withdrawal letter, but an explanation letter. I am not completely sure. But the K1 is definitely null and void if you have a valid marriage license, that is one filed on a court record. If it was a religious ceremony only, you may be in luck. We got married in May, and I sent off our I130 in June. In the cover letter, I linked our previous file with this one, so they can reference if need be. I hope it is not too late for that for you. Like I said, I would seriously reconsider M.E. I am sure someone else will come along with great advice!! Good luck, and I hope things work out for you

You have no choice but to cancel the K1 because you got married. When you get the consulate case number from NVC, contact the consulate to cancel it. You will have to start over with I-130.

I'm confused by your original post - I know you're anxious, but slow down an explain the situation clearly so people can help you.

But the bottom line is if they have approved a K1 petition and are sending it to the consulate - and you have since gotten married - you have no choice but to cancel the K1 and start over with either a K3 or CR1.

Since you are now married, you are no longer entitled to the K-1. Since your K-1 has been reaffirmed, you are sure that whatever issue the embassy had with you on the K-1 visa has been dealt with and cleared by USCIS. Apply asap for the k3 or CR1 and email the embassy to advice them of your new status and that you no longer want to pursue the K-1 visa. All the best
