Hello and I hope you can help me. We used K3 visa from suggestion of lawyer and look what we got. HA! I was told to give it up on the K3 and file cr1. Jawad had 2 interviews and i was questioned too. This was on December 1 and December 10 for the interviews. They said he married me for papers and used law 221g. Also his papers arent back to USCIS yet. I called the NVC and asked if i could use his I-130 if the papers are still in the consulate to get hiim another interview. She said she cant tell me that and I need to ask a lawyer. Also she said she could not call the consulate for me I will have to. The consulate had emailed me a month ago and said his papers went back on December 17, but they arent here. I am thinking that it will take longer to appeal the K3 visa than it will to file and get the cr1 visa. Is this true?????? Also can i use the I-130 i already have or do i start over. We are new to VJ and need all the help we can get. Especially after being lied to by the lawyer that was supposed to help us. She was just for the money.

Please any info will be appreciated so much.

At what stage is your I-130 at? Have you done anything with the I-130 or is it still sitting at NVC?

If you want to pursue the I-130 then I suggest you call NVC and find out what you need to do to move forward with the I-130. However, the reasons for the denial at the K-3 will need to be overcome. What did the denial letter exactly say? If they think your marriage is for immigration, then I suggest you begin collecting additional evidence of your relationship.

Good luck

we didnt even get the letter yet. The papers arent even back to USCIS and its been a month. The I-130 was approved and used in the K-1 visa. If his papers are still in the consulate can this I-130 be used to initiate another interview? And one the proof we had every kind of proof you could ask for. The officer said we just brought all this proof so we could make him give us a visa. He didnt even look at our proofs. He only looked at the papers that were sent from the lawyer for the interview. My husband had 6 different books of chat emails phone calls,and then another book of proof of letters cards, packets i sent, reciepts, we had 2 albums of pics of wedding and places we traveled and family. I dont know what else this man could ask for.

The I-129F is used for the K-3, not the I-130 (which is used for the Cr-1). So where is your I-130? Have you submitted the DS-230 and the I-864 for NVC yet?

the I-129 and the I-130 are used for the K-3 visa because that is what the lawyer made us do. And I have both of these. Also the I-130 says it expires December 26,2009 but by it still being used in the K-3 visa and we are awaiting the papers to return to the USCIS they said that it stays active. I need to know if I can use this I-130 for the cr1 or it is void once its removed from the connection to the K-3 visa. No we have not submitted any other papers because we are trying to find out what our best option is now at this point.

I aplogize i had said K-1 visa in my first response to you it is yes a K-3 visa.

It would be helpful if you study the CR1 guide. You've been asked twice already about the status of your I-130. Evidently, you don't understand the significance of the question, because you have not even attempted to answer it. My best guess is your I-130 has been ignored and is now sitting at the National Visa Center waiting for a response from your attorney or record. You may either ask your attorney to pursue the I-130 through NVC, or fire the attorney and do it yourself.

Regardless of what you do, the reasons for the initial denial will not vanish. You MAY be able to overcome them with additional evidence of a bona fide relationship. Bear in mind that the best evidence of a bona fide relationship is more time spent together and roughly equal to and can even be more important is how the interview questions are answered. They already know the answers already given, so they'll be working against you regardless of anything else you do.

I suggest you treat this as a critical family emergency by learning the process and taking charge of it. Start with the CR1 guide. Study it carefully, then come back with remaining questions. Actually do this.

Pushbrk, can't you tell that the woman is in a crisis. Everyone is always asking what is the reason for the denial. And for the love of ALLAH the CO never writes the reason on the 221G. They just tell you they are sending the paperwork back to the USCIS because they don't believe the relationship is bonified. You say spending more time with her husband would help, and I beg the differ. It's unfortunate that the CO in Morocco descriminate against Moroccan men because of a few bad apples. And unfortunately, coming from a ISLAMIC Country doesn't help matters none at all.

Yes, I can tell the woman is in crisis. I gave her the information she needs. What is your alternative suggestion?
