Denial decision

[fsuinla 1]

I have just received a denial decision email. Me and my fiance from Thailand have a little 18 month boy. I'm looking for advice and I have no idea what to do next.

More details are needed in order to give advise on what to do net.

So your denial came at the CSC stage, after your NOA1 for the I-129F petition? Not at the consulate or interview? I think that's unusual, because that tends to mean you did not meet the criteria for filing.

(a) did you meet your fiance in person within the last two years?

(b) are you both free to marry?

Those are the primary things you need to prove at the petition stage. Without knowing more about your situation, we can't tell you what was wrong, but petitions are not denied on a whim. What reason was given for the denial?

We meet in 2009 while I was living in Thailand. We lived together had a child in 2011.

and we are both free to marry

Have you been with your fiance in the last two years in person? Did you send all the required documents? If you don't know, can you list what you sent.

More specific information about the denial is necessary from the OP.

My denial came at the CSC stage, after your NOA1 for the I-129F petition wich took over 8 months to hear something

Since you filed in August 2012 and you say you lived together in 2011, you must have seen her in person within the two year period, so that sounds okay. But we'll need more info on what you sent them as proof: boarding passes, passport stamps? It's unusual, but not unheard of, to be denied at this stage.

If you only have the email notice now, then in a few days you will probably get a paper mail version with more explanation of why you were denied. I hope. I am sorry for your denial but you'll need to sort through what USCIS thought was wrong before you can file again.

that sucks makes me paranoid

I have been with her for the last 4 years, and I have been back to the states since Sept 2012. I have seen her once since I have been back.

Well I sent proof of our son being born and proof that I flew back to do the paperwork for his citizenship, I guess that was not enough

Take a look at the VJ K-1 Guide: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?autocom=custom&page=k1guide

Did your petition package include the items listed there (which are also in the I-129F instructions)?

[fsuinla 1]

I did all of the steps in the K-1 Guide

No RFE? Straight to denial?

Any criminal things you failed to disclose? Anything else you can think of that might have been a reason? Something that might come up on your background check?

It's not common for someone to be flat-out denied with no reason.
