I'm very sorry.
Why don't you wait for the letter, then see what it says and find out if you still can do something with this application?
If you can, maybe you should get an advice from an immigration attorney.
If there's nothing you can do about this application, take a break, go on vacation with your fiance(e), and try filing again after some time. This would keep you and your love together and next time you file, do the best research you can and, if you're not so good with that, hire an attorney.
Best wishes and don't give up.

This post really chapped my hide, so my response will be much testier than normal.
I highly doubt this is some grand conspiracy to deny you. You didn't follow directions. Of course the USCIS is going to take your money. You sent them a package and asked them to complete work, which they did by reviewing it and recognizing that you failed to follow directions.
Wait for the letter in the mail, it may be an RFE after all. If it is a denial, well, serves you right for not following directions. You have no one to blame but yourselves. And the only people who should be posting with righteous indignation about this situation are the people whose cases were delayed by a few hours because someone wasted his or her time reviewing yours, which wasn't even complete.

Those aren't January petitions, they're any petition approved in January.
Not necessarily. It doesn't meant they've approved 2,010 February petitions, it means they approved 2,010 petitions in February.
For example. If you filed your petition in October, and it was approved in February, it would be one of those 2,010.

Um okay. I'd just distance myself from this love
triangle and let them figure it all out.

Life is short and every day is precious.
You have a right to happiness and to be
with someone who shares the same goals,
morals, beliefs, and dreams with you.
The relationship you have now ... you
will just end up dying inside and speaking
from experience, it takes so long to come
'back to life' on the inside.

Um okay. I'd just distance myself from this love
triangle and let them figure it all out.

thats only for you to say not me... you said hes never hurt you physically but my first marriage was similar to this and he was American... i nearly died in that marriage due to the mental and emotional abuse... thank god i came out of my depression put my big girl pants on and got divorced.... I have never had these same issues with my husband from pakistan...
But you must consider... your husband was way more comfortable in his own home so he definitely treated you the way he probably will if not worse later... if thats what you want in your marriage that is totally up to you and i can't say it either was or wasn't.. im just saying from experience... my first husband never hit me but the emotional hurt was excruciating....

Plymouth: Take it from me-- I'm older than you. Know this "live your life while you're alive". Very simple prescription to "cure yourself"--read what you've written--then in a completly unswerving manner leave all connection to this man at "yesterday".. You start a new life tomorrow.. Try your best to actually forget his name. Find a new man or several men and go have the best time that you can possibly have. Make new friends in USA. Party--be a woman--be a girl. Remember this Never never never look back. Never.

i have applied for K3 Visa for my wife last week.

I would not consider it to be inaccurate to check that you are visiting for pleasure. We would just like a visit during the long wait, a few weeks of him being here, meeting my mom and dad, seeing the city he would live in. It's entirely for pleasure. Then he would go back and wait for the interview date. I can't take off for even a week from work right now to visit him in Morocco, so I'm just searching for possibilities out there to get some more personal time in.

Wish my husband had followed your advice when he got in
trouble for meth when he used to live in the USA.
Now he has a child he hasn't seen in person for 16
years and the mother of the child hasn't considered
it a priority for the child to ever see her father
in England (but he's Still expected to pay child
support! #######?!)
Hindsight.

You better have a good clarification for that Mark or I'm sending you on up to the mods for flaming me implying I am some kind of crook!

You knew the wait was going to be longer than 5 months, so why did you bother calling already? You also know the estimates from this site, so what other information could you expect to get?

I'd use a paperclip instead of a staple

Oh dear ... smh

Married is married. When you file the next I-130, you'll be asked about all previous marriages. Pretending the marriage to the Filipina didn't exist at all, is likely to land you in jail. USCIS and Dept. of State, obviously already know you ARE married today. Unless you obtain a divorce, marrying in China will break the laws of China and the USA. Bigamy is a crime and so is fraud. You can't marry in China without an affidavit saying all all previous marriages have been terminated and showing the evidence they have been.
Delay your next marriage until you are divorced from the Filipina or risk never being together with the Chinese woman at best and jail at worst.
You cannot obtain a divorce in the next month. So perhaps that ticket to China will be more money wasted on stupidity. (your words)

big brother might not be watching you but i definitely am

so now all of a sudden your elderly parents can do without you for a year (or more) as an au pair??? how is that possible? Why would you suddenly change your proposed visit (lengthen it) just to gain access to the US? something is now very wrong with this picture...and I take back my initial assumption that you had no other motive in your quest for a tourist visa...but now...'engaged'....what does that mean LEGALLY in Russia? Zippo...nada....nothing....if you don't wind up marrying your alleged fiance, is the KGB going to come to your house and arrest you? (no)...yet you now want to leave said fiancee and change diapers for a year.....hmmmmmm....
realistically, she cannot....one cannot legitimately change short term employment to long term without committing fraud...

No lawyer ! i got more them 5 arrest and got convicted in a few of them i had my interview feb 29 brought all my court disposition for all my arrest to my interview ....now i'm just waiting for the outcome! last time got arrest it was 7 years ago! so just chill an smoke another bag of weed! Lol.. Thats nothing compare to my case!

You need to report everything regarding all your convictions(even if the case had been closed or you have completed your community service) at the Oath ceremony. If at all the USCIS finds it out at a later stage, there are chances of your citizenship status getting revoked. I think this article may be of some help to you - http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012-03-28/news/31246263_1_immigration-law-daily-news-citizenship-naturalization

An immigration attorney will not help in this matter - unless you and your fiancee feel that you can't correctly re-file or file for the CR1 [after marriage], there really isn't anything an attorney would "do" given the information provided.
I completely concur that you need to read through the post R&S linked earlier in this topic. Read it and see if there is anything about either you or your fiancee that rings true. You'll need to be able to overcome whatever hesitations the CO felt...is your soon-to-be-wife no longer of childbearing age? Was she recently divorced when you met? Did she divorce her ex during your relationship? Have there been sizable and/or frequent deposits into the shared bank account from only one party?
As shocking as this turn of events is for you, please keep in mind that this is survivable [my husband and I can attest to this]. Chances are the case will go back to USCIS and be expired out. At that point, you may refile either for another K1 or a CR1 [if married]. Delhi is notorious for being harder on mixed couples applying for a K1. I would suggest marriage and CR1 as the path going forward. You, of course, need to overcome what the "problem" was with the first case. In many cases, additional time in person helps the case immensely.
Oh, and if you are a mixed couple going through Delhi - have the USC there for the interveiw - that alone solves a lot of the "what ifs" in the COs minds. I think there is a couple on vj that even stated their 221g was thrown out since the USC was there [maybe Bec_Dipu????].

I agree with Vanessa and Darnell. Screw the mediator. You don't have to pay a nickel unless and until a judge orders it. You don't have to agree to the terms the mediator recommends.
You don't need advice on a public forum. You need a vicious divorce attorney. It will be the best investment you ever made.

The Mediator is wrong.
The I-864 is a contract between YOU and the USGovernment,
not anyone else.
Once she starts using Public Assistance, the bill accumulates back to YOU from the FEDS.
You pay it, ever so often, back to the FEDS.
I'm thinking the mediator was biased ..
Also, IMO, the fodder you've collected for ICE should be great stuff to use at the divorce hearing, in an effort to minimalize, if not set to ZERO, any concept of alimony.

Sounds like this man may already have all the paperwork necessary to come back into the USA on his own. ( Visa ) I can almost guarantee you that he's coming back and soon but not to your place. Cancel his return flight and let him pay for his return !!! Especially since he says he's not coming back , he shouldn't need a round trip ticket.
I have heard of people saying that only to return to the
U.S. to live as single even if they are still married.

Agreed, he needs to get over himself. Start spending your money only on yourself and your own future.
And I would cancel the tickets to his country. It will be worth the loss of money to see the look on his face.
