DENIED!!

[scenicmike 1]

I have known Janine for nearly 30 years. We met back in Florida in the 80's and I have loved her ever since. Over the past three years she has come out to see me on four separate occasions and we have been engaged for a year. We filed our application at in May and sent in a completed RFE a little over 2 weeks ago. We thought everything was going to be fine. We both are single, healthy and with no records. We have hundreds of photo's of us together along with copies of Passport stamps and other proof that we have met and know each other. Yet...about an hour ago I received a text from USCIS saying that our application had been denied. I can't think of any reason why they would deny us and won't know the reason till I am able to get a tier two supervisor on the phone in the morning. We are both gutted and just so tired of the waiting and now it seems we will have to start all over again or appeal. heartbreaking.

We need some more information.. are you applying for a k1?? did she have an interview?? very unusual for a k1 denial.  

what was the RFE for??

Your RFE response was likely deficient.

[scenicmike 1]

It is a KI. I am American and she is British. The RFE was for photo's and proof of relationship. Intent to marry and we messed up and sent the 325 instead of the 325A. We sent quite the photo packet back along with extra passport photo's and my birth certificate. I sent copies of both original BC and a certified copy from the state.

I don't know how my RFE could be deficient. Here is exactly what they asked for.

 

1. My birth certificate - I sent it.

2. Form G-325A - we filled it out and returned it signed.

3. Passport style photos from each of us - SENT!

4. Her marriage termination form - SENT!

5. Beneficiary's intent to marry letter - SENT!

6. Circumstance of meeting - Letter from me of how we met plus photo's and passport stamp scans SENT!

 

We sent everything they asked for.

Wait for the denial letter and see why exactly they have denied you.

Did you include any proof besides pictures that you two have been in the same place together ?

[Ontarkie 13,917]

Both of you needed to send a letter of intent to marry. I really hope it wasn't over that but that is the only thing that stands out to me. 

[scenicmike 1]

Well, we sent about 6 or 8 photos and I wrote where and when they were taken. We also submitted her passport stamps to corroborate the pic's. I also sent a letter detailing our history. 

[scenicmike 1]

The RFE was just for her letter of intent...specific to her. I wrote in my letter that I wanted to marry her as well.

 

[caliliving 606]

very rare that a K1 gets denied, especially before an interview for a UK individual. I am sure it is something simple you forgot in the package - like the letter of intent. 

[JFH 12,189]

Did you show evidence of having met in the last two years? I know you met in the 1980s and that's great but they want to know about the last two years. Is it possible that the evidence you provided suggested that you haven't seen each other since the 1980s?

That was exactly what I was thinking.

The letter is fine to include, but isn't proof of meeting at least once within the past 2 years. Passport stamps show you were in the country, which are great to include, but doesn't show you met on that trip. Photos are very difficult to put a place and time. Everything you sent is good, but it may be that it just wasn't quite sufficient.

 

Either way, you'll get a letter with some more info. Please post back with what happened.

Did USCIS actually receive your RFE response?
