US Immigration from Ukraine

I have a situation and I need some help. I want to say that vj has been really helpful and I appreciate that. I hope someone will help me with this. Here is my story. My wife was denied entry to the US at the airport and was removed from the country. She had a tourist visa at that time. Right after that we got married and filed i-130 in march 2020. then we realized she will need i-212 to re enter the country. so we filed i-212 in june 2020. Our i-130 is still at Uscis in Texas. We just received denial notice of i-212. The reason for denial is : "A review of USCIS and U.S. Department of States records show that you don't have a pending visa petition." "You don't qualify for an approval of an I-485 adjustment of status, because you do not have an available visa or petition. Therefore, USCIS denies your form I-212". Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that we filed i-212 too early? Does USCIS consider pending i-130 as a petition? if so, there is an error on their side. They are giving us option to appeal to AAO or submit a motion to reopen or reconsider. I would like to hear from people what our options are. Should I submit a motion to reconsider and explain that we are still waiting on our i-130 to be approved. I have 33 days to respond, otherwise case will be closed. We have waited over 4 months to hear back and we were given denial. I don't want to submit new I-212 .

hi:

didnt really know who or where there is a "I-751 November 2020 filers" group yet. Our window opens in November 17

Thanks, for any suggestions or if anyone would like to open a group

?

We received our first RFE which included a request to provide more substantial evidence of our meeting in the past two years. I think we screwed up and didn t do a thorough enough job the first time. We included airline itineraries but not always the boarding passes. We didn t include passport stamps. We relied too heavily on photo evidence. We re going to do better this time. A couple of questions arose as we were going through this though:

1) Do we need to provide translations of visas in our passports if we provide them as evidence?

2) Will they be interested in evidence of meeting since the date of our application? Or should we stick with only the two years prior to the application?

3) They mentioned in the RFE that we should include a duplicate copy of the evidence if we are requesting consular notification. What does this mean and should we include duplicate copies with the response?

We would appreciate if anyone has any insight they could share.

regards,

Stephen and Antonina.

Hello everyone.

Me and my husband are a little bit confused. I had my interview 2 weeks ago. The officer gave me 221g yellow paper and said they need more time to go through my papers. He kept the papers and passport, didn't ask for more documents. Said that they have everything and they will make a decision in a day. No info for 2 weeks already. The problem is that last year my husband started a business, so his last year documented income was only 20k. But years before it was over a 100k. We did added his assets and thought it will be fine. But the officer said they need to look more. So I was put to Administrative processing. I checked my status it was AP for a week, then was ready to interview for 3 days, and now 4 days on AP again. Really confused. Maybe someone had the same situation?what should we do?
