There are plenty of denials, and plenty of reasons for denials. The denial can come at any stage - at the petition stage, where USCIS sends a notice of intent to deny to the petitioner, or at the interview where the beneficiary is told in the face to face meeting. Some common reasons include: overstays, not meeting in person within the last two years, Crimes of Moral Turpitude including drug and alcohol related offences, suspected fraudulent relationships, or missing documentation.

People who suspect that they may have a deniable case often go to the interview with the relevant waiver prepared, to shorten the process a bit.

Laura, I wouldn't fret. It could just be something silly your lawyer filled out incorrectly, and just means re-filing! Almost any reason for denial can be appealed, and there are people here who have done just that to share their experiences with you. You'll get past this, it's only one setback and compared to the rest of your lives together, a relatively short amount of time to spend on it, too.

Read this thread to read about another VJer who got the same notice that you did. His petition was denied.

You will need to wait for the letter to find out the reason for denial and start either an appeal, or file a new petition with an IMBRA waiver.

That is not necessarily true. I know of people who have followed the guides to a "t" and still got denied for some crazy reasons.

That being said, as a general rule, that is usually true what you said.

Big difference between an RFE and a denial.

The vast majority of K1 denials at the Service Center level are due to a lack of evidence the petitioner and beneficiary met in person within the two years before filing the petitition. Other common reasons would relate a lack of evidence, one of the parties is free to marry or the petitioner is not a USC.

A K-1 is a visa. The USCIS does not issue visas. Therefore no K-1's are denied at the service center...

Right, it's the I-129F petitions intended to result in K1 visas that are denied at USCIS service centers.
