K1- Case status transfer in progress - after 221g

[Lolarose 0]

Hi my fiance and I had an interview at the embassy in Haiti together. They put the case on administrative review...A week later they asked him to come back for more questions. They kept asking the same questions with intimidation- but the consulate said he did believe we are in a real relationship. 10 days later, they asked him to come back again for more questions--that was his 5th interview. They gave him a 221g. It's been two weeks now -the system show "transfer in progress" what does that mean? Should I just withdraw the case and marry him and refile?

You need to know the reason the CO feels the relationship is not real and fix the problem. You have to be able to prove the relationship is not just for immigration purposes. Marrying and filing for a spousal visa will have you ending up in the same situation if they do not believe the relationship is bona fide.

How did you attend with your fiance? I thought nobody was allowed in except the applicant?

Yeah that's a good question, they let you in for the interview? I remember after my fiancé interview, on the ceac site it stated "administration processing" for like 2 days, then it changed to "issued".

his initial interview was him alone. The CO requested for me to come to Haiti for the 2nd interview. We interviewed together and apart on the same day. The CO was very nasty and insulting. ( total disrespect)

10 days later, they called him for another interview- they gave him 221g no additional documents required.

My question is why the system went from administrative review to transfer in progress?

Where are they transferring the case? Is it possible after they issue a 221g, they can approve the visa?

We don't know what to do because we have a real relationship. I don't know what they need from us.

Hopefully that's positive, call NH visa center. They can tell you what's going on.

KayDeeCee is right, if your K-1 was rejected you need to know why and address their concern. So I'd highly recommend writing down every question that you can remember the CO asking. You should also write down as close to word for word what they said because it can take a long time before you get a definite rejection notification and are able to refile. What was marked in the 221G? I mean if they believe your relationship is real, is there something else that might be causing you problems?

If you don't mind me asking, how long have you and your fiancé been together? How many times (and for how long) did you visit? What did you submit for relationship evidence? And does your fiancé have a child? When my fiancé was going through the process (two years ago) it seemed like the majority of the denials posted on VJ in Haiti involved the beneficiary having a child. I found that very strange but it might have something to do with your case if they do.

I'm really sorry about your situation. It sucks. The other people I referred to in my previous post were able to successfully apply for a CR-1. Good luck to you in the future.

Thank you. We'll get married and apply for a CR-1
