USCIS Review

HELP!

I just received a notice from the USCIS today that my 129F case was sent back to them from the State Department, and they were asked to review it. Does anyone have any clue what this might mean? My fiance went through the Consulate interview in Mumbai back in December 2009 and was issued a 221(g). They told my fiance we were trying to be fraudlent in trying for a visa for him, when we weren't. I wrote a few letters, involved two Congressmen's offices, and no luck. I had pretty much given up on it. Then....this.

Is there still hope?

That's normal procedure when a 221g is given. USCIS could review it and request more evidence from you, re-approve it or deny it, close it or just let it expire. It happened to us the first time around and USCIS never reviewed it, we ended up filing a 2nd k1 and getting approved. You can refile a k1, get married and file a cr1 or just wait it out and see if they review your first case.

How did you know the reason of your first denial? We are in the same position. Last month She received a letter from USCIS saying that our petition has expired and we can apply new one.

Sorry irnmtn for using your post!

We never knew the "actual reasons" but we had "red flags" that most likely made the CO return our case. We addressed the possible issues with the 2nd petition. With the 2nd time around the CO could not deny us on the same issues as the 1st petition. Our "red flags" were most likely our age difference and religion.
