Yes, CO has never seen the proof. It's only the numbers in affidavit of support 

I am from tashkent )

Wait, what??  How did you expect the bank balance to even be considered if you did not bring statements?  It makes no sense to list "numbers" in the affidavit of support, without including statements to back it up.  They don't just take people at their word for those things.

Hindsight is always better.   She had them, but never slid them across the counter.   She only provided what the intake desk requested, which was limited to a tax filing.  Which for 90+% of applicants is sufficient

Oh. I mentioned that I did bring bank statements but the girl who collected the papers before interview and CO refused to take it. They said all looks good. Just email IRS transcripts for 2017-2018

Maybe CO saw the numbers on affidavit and didnt consider there could some shortages in transcripts

Very strange.....    I wonder if the CEAC "refused" status is just an interim status?  Maybe it will switch to AP.

Yes, but it is not the normal paths it typically is after a response to a 221g.  You responded on 11.4.  Now some 10 days later it changed to refused

Honestly, as others have said, I would have the petitioner contact them ASAP to enquire as to their process after you provided the other documents.

 

Especially since you will likely face the same issue if you apply for a CR-1, unless his income situation is significantly different by that time.

I thank everyone!!

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

The K-3 is very rare; in fiscal year 2019 only five were issued worldwide. One in Tegucigalpa: https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Statistics/Non-Immigrant-Statistics/MonthlyNIVIssuances/October 2018 - NIV Issuances by Post and Visa Class.pdf Page 95

And four in Ciudad Juarez:

• https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Statistics/Non-Immigrant-Statistics/MonthlyNIVIssuances/APRIL 2019 - NIV Issuances by Post and Visa Class.pdf Page 24; Beneficiary was a Venezuelan national

• https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Statistics/Non-Immigrant-Statistics/MonthlyNIVIssuances/AUGUST 2019 - NIV Issuances by Post and Visa Class.pdf Page 26

Here is a comparison chart: https://www.visajourney.com/content/compare/ There isn't an additional fee to attempt a K-3: "You may file Form I-129F together with or after filing Form I-130. If you file Form I-129F after filing Form I-130, include a copy of the Form I-797, Notice of Action, to show that USCIS received your Form I-130. There is no fee if you are filing a Form I-129F for a spouse to obtain a K-3 visa." https://www.uscis.gov/family/family-us-citizens/k-3k-4-nonimmigrant-visas Odds are it will be IR-1/CR-1.

There are not separate criteria for military members.  And that is the MINIMUM, although it is all at the discretion of the CO, as evidenced by this thread.

 

There is no such thing as bank transcript.  There are bank statements and tax transcripts.
