Ok make sure im understanding..so u had ur interview? Appoved but needed to fact check some things and ur case is now at Cali service center?  I havnt consulted with Hacking as of yet..but I learned from him regarding FOIA and put in a request with USCIS for my file to see whats missing...I have the letter from Lagos which the Senator got on my behalf...

Forgive me I am on auto here!! We had our inter 1/41/19 we were told we are approved by CO. Months later through senator inquiry I was told my case is being sent back to USCIS FOR POSSIBLE REVOCATION.. That was since March of last year. Then in July I receive an updated 797 form saying my case is at Vermont service center then in August 13 it was transferred to California service center awaiting Adjudication.. since then I am playing the waiting game. Hope this clarifies my case. Last week I reached out back to Senator office to do a follow up and I file a request with Ombudsman office because I’ve exhausted all of channels of communication with USCIS. My next step is to file a mandamus act through Jim Hacking and no I have not retained him but I’m deciding.

One last thing do you think that letter that was given to my husband at the interview is considered the NOIR?? I’ve consulates with a few attorneys and nowadays some of they are so unethical and money hungry they take your consultation fee and do absolutely nothing for us.
I’ve noticed an incorrect visa number on our case/letter. I’m perplexed as to how they can possibly make such mistakes and meantime our life is on hold.. I was informed by USCIS Teir 2 supervisor that they made a mistake and requested our case to be send back. I am hoping they caught this. I asked if once reaffirm will they fast track my case. I only hope and pray this will come to an end soon. Thanks for responding to me promptly.. Enjoy the rest of your afternoon.

worried spouse.

Correct..and the fact that they had wrong info is disturbing...in our NOIR...in the body of the letter they had another beneficiary name...my husbands name no where mentioned..obviously a typo but what other errors were possibly made...whose file was our CO even actually reviewing?? ..because I know I submitted tons of bona fide evidence...Soooo USCIS can only revoke but supposedly they give us a chance to correct the issues in 30 days before closing the file.

We are pulling a K3 and resubmitting all of our evidence per our attorney....he suggests that we be proactive instead of waiting for USCIS to reach out to us regarding their decision...I pray this works🤞🏾

K3 submitted and according to my attorney our evidence is pretty good..so will see. Awaiting the NOA1 (again)...As of today we have officially been in the process for two years and counting....am grateful for a strong marriage. Praying that USCIS stands by their initial approval of our CR1🙏🏿

We pulled the K3 to get USCIS to go ahead and pull a decision on our petition....it can take many months for them to review...New LIN# received per I797 or NOA1 for the I129f today so hoping to hear from them soon and nope I dont plan on them acknowledging any errors made in our denial letter

Finally received my NOIR and as I suspected my bona fide evidence was lost. USCIS wants me to resubmit everything! When I say this process has not been good for my husband and I thats an understatement....When I started back in '18, I used Rapid Visa (RV) and I would never sugguest anybody whose spouse is migrating from a country with a difficult embassy or consulate to use them...they were waste of $1000...money that I could have used towards an attorney....maybe the outcome would have turned out differently...I heard that RV  doesnt like to submit bona fide evidence I call them to checked if EVERYTHING I submitted to them was sent to USCIS..and of course they said yes..but cant provide a copy or list of what was sent...so USCIS is treating me as if I only sent in the bare minuim...I also have words about the CO in Lagos but I will reserve that for later...as for now my attorney and I need to respond asap to this NOIR....tired but cant't give up😣 also a I129 with all of my evidence was sent a few months ago and one would think  my 2nd case number would have came up on someones computer when reviewing the older case number...but of course it didnt..so Im possibly  having to resubmit for the THIRD time EVERYTHING😵
