What is your question?

[LeftCoastLady 441]

I noticed in your timeline, you received an RFE. What additional information was USCIS seeking and what did you send them?

Wait until you get the official notice and the reason for denial, then post back with exact details.

Sorry to hear about this set-back in your journey.

Sorry but you should have seen this coming. Go MEET your fiancee, as we all told you before, and try again.

A-ha...well, in that case, there's the reason for denial and the answer to your "now what" question.

The OP has never met his fiance, was told time and again it is a requirement. SMH

Wow i'm so sorry to hear that... it must be really hard for you Wait until you get the official notice and the reason for denial and then you can take it from there. Hopefully it might be something that you can solve and then you can re-apply... What was it that they were asking for in the RFE? Were you able to give them what they requested? Wishing you the best.

So sorry to hear this... Maybe u can re-file? Maybe get married then file for the marriage visa? Better luck next time

You can only wait for the letter to arrive. What was the RFE for? If you failed to provide all the requested information that is a reason for denial.

Additional documents to see if we met last two years....originally I met her three years ago .. There is no way I can proof this to them aside from phone record and few photos .. But in Muslim world we don't date and get rooms at hotels .. I even got letter from mosque stating its not our custom per-martial dating .. They had all this information for almost a year and say NO.. What kind a ###### system is this #######

Simply to them it's a mind game and controlling our life's

[skiptex 225]

Meeting within 2 yrs of applying k1 is 1st rule of k1

2nd rule only usc can submit k1

U should have know that

[belinda63 3,053]

Are you a US Citizen? Did you meet her in person within two years of filing? You don't have to prove you were dating to meet the 2 year requirement. Having dinner at her family's home with some photos showing the two of you together would suffice. It is a Muslim custom to not "date" but is also required that you see your prosective spouse prior to marriage. A chaparoned meeting is most certainly permitted. Even a meeting with the Imam to discuss the prospective marriage would suffice, all you need is proof. Photos, plane tickets, etc.

The problem is not with the system, not to say it is perfect or fast, the problem is with not following the rules which are there for a reason. I don't agree with all the rules and laws but if you want the visa for your fiance you will do as the government says and shouldn't be surprised when you are denied because you didn't meet the basic requirements.
