Two cases open K1 and CR1

[Ameera73 0]

Hi! Long ago my husband in Egypt had the interview for a visa fiance, the consular office was so rude to him during this interview, she told him she will not give him the visa, and that she will send our case back to USCIS, he was so sad and confused that he asked her what we're supposed to do next, she told him: tell your fiance to come to Egypt to marry you here, we assumed we will never get that visa approved, so that's what I did, I went to Egypt in 2012 and we got married in Cairo.

I cam back to US and two months after that I received an email from immigration telling me that our case was approved, but of course we were already married so that visa was not good, I called the Department of State in February 2013 and I told the lady about what was going on, she told me they will close the case, then I received an email telling me that the case was already closed.

I applied for the CR1 ,and today my husband had his interview, the consular officer told him that they have two cases in his name, and both were approved, in that case he will have to send our case back to immigration here, and he gave to my husband a paper, I don't know yet what kind of paper is because my husband will have to scan the paper and send it to me to my email today, the CO told my husband I have to call immigration here, and they will let me know what they need from me. My question...what else they need from me?

And of course my husband paid for the DHL, and the CO told him not to worry about that money because he will have to go back to the embassy, and they will not charge him again for the DHL service.

I will appreciate if somebody knows what in the world this people are trying to do, what they will need from me, because I really don't understand what happened today in my husband's interview.

This definitely sounds strange. I'm not sure why the K1 case would still show up as approved once they found out you were married. I'm not sure what happens here since I've never experienced this kind of situation.

Also, when you say that you received an email that your case was approved, are you talking about the K1 visa being approved or that the case was reaffirmed by USCIS?

The paper they gave him was probably a 221g, but wait until you he sends it to you so that you can tell us what it says. If they sent the case back to USCIS, I don't know how long that process takes.

Sounds like your petition was reaffirmed. Not Visa approved. You said long ago your husband had interview. When did you have the K1 Visa interview?

You said you went to Egypt in 2012 to get married and 2 months after you got back your petition was approved. So from interview to you getting this notice how long?

I know you read all the time here on VJ about K1'a don't get reaffirmed and sent back. Well the majority don't but some do.

I have had some friends do the K1within the last year and 3 got reaffirmed. But they already got married not wanting to wait for petition to come back and they get letter months later that petition was reaffirmed and sent back to embassy.

The issue is you have two petitions active on the books because even if the K1 is cancelled, expired or died a slow death, the petitioner you didn't withdraw it.

Hopefully they won;t make a big deal out of it and just approve.

The case was closed by USCIS in March 2013, the embassy in Cairo is the one who didn't closed it there, I sent an email to the embassy to let them know that the Petition for Visa Fiance or K1 was closed since 2013, my husband's interview for the new petition (I-130 Petition for Alien Relative) was on September 23 this year, that was when the Consular Officer told my husband that they have two open cases in his name at the embassy, well, after that I received 2 emails from the embassy, they told me the consular officer was reviewing the case, I sent another email to the embassy yesterday, they emailed me today telling me that they sent the case back to USCIS for revision, and re adjudication. I just called USCIS, and they told me to wait a few days because they didn't get it yet.

I am kind of sad, nervous, not knowing what's going to happen next, how long is going to take for this to finish, I am just praying to God to help us. We have hope!
