Please could you explain the difference between K3 and cr1 visas?

Don't concern yourself with k3, less than a handful were issued last year worldwide

I see.

I should do research from the scratch. All the differences, pros and cons

 

Thank you all!

Somebody here would benefit from your k1/spousal comparison

Don’t forget you will need to meet the income requirement regardless if you file k1 or CR1

Does the embassy still have your passport? When you get it back you may see if the tourist visa is marked cancelled. If it's not, you should be able to use it to board a plane to the USA. There's no guarantee that a border officer would let you in, but the the vast majority of valid visa holders who land in the USA are admitted.

 

 

 

Yes.

 

Or you could appeal

 

There are many countries where you can marry

 

can not appeal a K1 denial

Should I send a message to the embassy asking the reason? Even it's still obvious.

Will I need to show k1 denial reason in cr1 packet? I just dont have the answer from the embassy, only status change on the website

If it was me,  I  would be sending a new affidavit with all the information (including bank statement) and a cosponsor affidavit (if you have one) right now to see if you can get a reconsideration

Even if I know the application status from the website and they never officially informed me about refusal,  to send them something like: I see I got refused on the website but I would like to send you bank statements and etc for your kind reconsideration?

The USC sponsor should join VJ and be participating in this.

Something like that.   They are not obligated to reconsider but what do you have to lose

Dear all, 

 

I need an advice from you.

My k1 visa intetview was held on October 8th and I got RFE where the Embassy requested to send IRS transcripts for 2017-2018 by email.

At the interview day I had only #1040 form unfortunately ( for self employed petitioner)

I have submitted the requested IRS transcripts via email (the amount on them is below the requested 16910$, for 2018 is slightly below) but we have shown bank savings and sufficient current income.

On 28th of October the US embassy informed me that they received my documents and that the review will take some time and requested to refrain to send multiple inquiries ( I never did, I guess it's a standard message)

 

Today the status on ceac.state.gov changed to REFUSED 😭😭

 

My questions:

1) Will I receive the official answer from the US embassy by email or they skip it and the status on the website is the one I should refer?

2) I have a valid B2 tourist visa until March 2020. Will they not let me in to meet my fiancee? I traveled 4 times to the States to meet my fiancee before.

3) if I apply for a tourist visa again, most probably I will be denied?

4) What the options are left now? Wife visa?

5) is there any list of countries where we can get married and the marriage will be legible, no any country restrictions?

6) what is the average waiting time for cr1?

If you read this message until the end I do hope you can give me any suggestions based on your experience and knowledge.

 

I am literally lost and feel so down 

 

 

Thank you!

 

 

Were the asset and current income statements attached to the support affidavit?  This application should have been approved but it sounds like the affidavit of support was not prepared properly and submitted as a complete package.  
This is the USC sponsor’s responsibility to prepare and submit a completed affidavit of support.

No, it was not attached as the girl who gathered all the documents before interview  checked the documents one by one, and the ones she didnt ask for- she didn't take. I specially mentioned to her and the CO to leave the bank statements. Both said they didn't need them.

Try to make more money and apply again. CR1/IR1 path will go into the same result unless you have efficient funds. Or have a joint sponsor. The country won't sponsor you to come and live here.

100k assets (in the bank) on a household size of 2 doesn’t require ANY income on an I-864

Something’s wrong here.  I was on the phone to the embassy for a lot less than this LOL
