Don't know what to do

[Mrs. Edwards 1]

ok I will...

I emailed them 5 days ago and I haven’t gotten a response. I hope to get something tomorrow if not I will send it again.

I emailed and also called the Kingston embassy. They wouldn't tell me anything.

I am not trying to take over the post here, but what you said really scares me about my application. Mine was sent back from the NVC to be reviewed. I got the standard 120 days review, but that turns into 180 days. After contacting my local US Rep. office, they found out that it was sent back due to a box not being checked about being arrested etc. etc.. This was my fault and USCIS for not catching it and sending a RFE. Keep in mind, both of us have never been arrested and have clean records. The Rest of the application is good and front loaded with lots of evidence. Now the days, weeks, and months are going by and nothing is coming out of USCIS VSC. AFter talking to a few people that I meet on here, that the "Review" can turn into a black hole. Like you said some people have to refile the application. I am really worried that I may have to do that, but I am wasting a lot of time waiting for a RFE to ammend the application. Should I cancel the currenct application and refile or just wait. If I wait for the 180 days, I will be at the 11 month mark. By the way, I actually talked to a Tier 2 officer. I asked when they expected to look at my case, He told me that USCIS does not have to do anything and it could take years. Lets just say, I wont ever ever call the so called customer support number again. lol.

What you can do is, use your local office. InfoPass. I remember my last visit to the local office was Dec 2. They helped me a lot. According to the InfoPass, after my petition came back form the embassy, USCIS "deliberately" let it to expire and sent it to general record office, that I don't know. Finally with the help of the InfoPass, I got the letter that allowed me to file another petition again. Actually, after the 120 days of the validation period passed, you will be able to file another one, but the cover letter should have to be convincing for the USCIS to close the pervious one and process the new petition. Making long story short, Use the InfoPass and request a service on the petition. You can do it once in every 30 days.

Good Luck

. If they have not responded from your 1st email request, then send it again, and put 4th request in the topic.

too funny and extreme.

Hello,

My fiancé’s visa was recently refused which I have found out is the same as denied but a nicer way to put it. Now it's being sent back to USCIS.

I called USCIS, it will take 120 days to process. If they feel the evidence is substantial they will send it back to the embassy. In 120 days my petition will be expired so they will probably just send me something telling me that it expired and to file again.

I’m going to Jamaica in August and I plan on getting married to my fiancé would that be ok or do I have to wait until USCIS sends me some type of notice about the I-129f that I filed previously.

I also wanted to know if there is a cutoff date for filing the I-130?

I would wait until you find out what evidence is needed. If a refusal continues and really is a denial marriage will not improve their position. It may show your continued intent to resolve any issues remaining. I would continue to talk and keep track of your conversations, letters, photos and cards. Maybe another trip without a marriage would be beneficial, and show your serious interest. An attorney is always a good option at this point.

You may think it's funny and extreme, but the person who is in denial,needs some HELP and questions answered.

Hi Mrs. Edwards --

Kay -- sorry you're going through this as well -- the embassy is not going to provide any information once the case is sent back. From the experiences friends and family members have gone through recently -- they were also told the same thing...best I can suggest is to wait to hear from USCIS. Don't take it as a denial they may just want to interview both of you and get more information

YOU are right.... Marriage will not fix anything if the root cause is not addressed

[KaynPhil 1]

Ok I will go there and not get married this is so frustrating I will keep you all informed on the progress and thank everyone for your help.

Glad you are acting smart to address your road block.

Do you have even the slightest idea as to what may have caused the denial? Have you gone over all of your paper-work, and his answers to the questions that were asked at the interview.

There have been many denials coming out of Jamaica within the last year, I wonder what has changed?

@Atpeace We went over the papers, he told me every question they asked him and his answers all of which were right. the only thing I think is because in 2009 I never went to visit due to school and being unemployed, and I haven't gone there this year yet so that's all I can think of as lack of evidence other then that I don't have the slightest clue my fiance even said that he felt he was going to get approved he said the interviewer wasn't rude or anything.

So, within the last 3 years, you only visited in 2010. How often in 2010? Are you a descended of Jamaica? Do you still have family in Jamaica? You stated that you'll have known each other for 9 years, correct.

Thank you!!! Please keep me in your prayers. I would be a total reck if I didn't believe.
