    DeeCSC got a reaction from nejay in 221g Morocco- what now? (split)   
    What did the G221 say on it? Where there boxes checked? Did the consulate officer that did your interview say anything at the end about when they would call you?
  2. Thanks
    DeeCSC got a reaction from ReemRonny in I 130 extended review, now two petitions (merged)   
    Well our petition was sent back March 2015.  It was finally received by USCIS  July 2015.  We finally got the NOIR Aug 2016.  We  had 30 days to send a rebuttal of the reasons it was sent back.  It was reaffirmed  Oct 2016 and was finally sent back to the Moroccan embassy in Dec. 2016.  We finally have an another interview scheduled for April 2017.  I have talked to many people in this process. I don't know anyone that heard anything before 1 yr.  All the others said to stick to this process since we don't know the reasons for it being sent back. I really don't know the right answer for that.  You can contact or Senator and have them look into it for you.  I did do that.  They were also told to wait 1 yr.  After the year was up the senator emailed a couple times until it was finally sent.  Good luck in what ever way you decide to proceed.

    The NOIR is the Notice of intent to revoke.  This is what she has been waiting for.  When it is received it will tell her why the petition was denied and what she needs to prove to get the petition reaffirmed.  Make sure to read each part of the letter carefully and address each and every issue.  It is now her turn to prove to USCIS that it was a mistake for the embassy to send it back and now they are able to give there side of the story.  We went through the same thing.  Its a long process but it can be done.  My husband is finally here with me but it took alot of time and effort.  Good luck

    DeeCSC got a reaction from Alapha Mens in 221g and second interview   
    When your file is sent back to uscis it takes a long time before you hear anything.  These days its been taking a year or more before you get the NOIR/NOID where they tell you why they sent it back.  You then will have 30 to tell them your side of the story and to submit all evidence requested.  At that point they can reaffirm your petition where they send it back to NVC and then back to the embassy for your next interview.  My suggestion is just keep getting more evidence of your relationship.  Its much easier than waiting till the end to gather everything.  To give you an idea, Ours was sent back to NVC in Mar 2015, finally reached USCIS  in July 2015.  We finally received our NOIR in Aug 2016,  reaffirmed in Oct 2016, sent back to the embassy in Dec 2016.  Second interview scheduled for Apr 2017.  Hope yours doesn't take as long, but from what I have been seeing its about the normal  timeline.  Good luck

    DeeCSC got a reaction from Ahmed & Amy in HELP!!   
    For us, my husband had his first interview in Oct 2014.  It was in AP for 5 months before it was sent back to USCIS for further review.  It took 4 months to finally get to USCIS and then it was there 13 months before we were sent NOIR which gave us the reasons they sent it back.  We had 30 days to send in our rebuttal.  It was then reaffirmed (approved again) and took another 7 months for a new interview.   If I remember correctly that one came after 1 yrs of waiting.  The embassy was good enough to email me quickly and told me not to worry it was fine.  I also called USCIS and NVC and talked to supervisors in both offices to make sure because I didn't trust anyone.  All gave me the same answer LOL all was fine and not to worry. I am not sure what happened after your interview so can't say what you are waiting for.   Feel free to send me a message with any questions if I can help.  Good Luck.

    Don't worry it is  automatic once you pass the one year mark.  We got one as well.  As long as you have been in contact with USCIS and/or NVC they know what is going on.  When we got this I panicked and emailed the embassy.  They also sent me and email saying not to worry, they were just waiting on USCIS to send them papers.  I got another one later also saying that all my file had been destroyed and we needed to refile.  This was also an auto response.  I almost had a stroke.  I am not sure if you are waiting on and NOIR/NOID or not like we were but try not to worry.  I finally got my hubby here and hopefully you will too.  Good luck

    DeeCSC got a reaction from -Trinity- in Up-to-date list of docs needed to get married in Morocco?   
    You will  need a police report from every country that you have lived.  I am a USC and i also needed one from Morocco since I had visited there before.  I don't think I needed my kids bc to get married, but I know I did need to send copies with my I 130 so I would take them along just in case.Also remember you will need to have everything translated into Arabic as well.  If you go to the US Moroccan Embassy website there should be a list of everything you need to get married in Morocco.  Good Luck

    When you file is returned it first goes back to NVC and then goes back to the service center who approved it.  Ours was approved by the Ca office.  I was on the phone with them at least once a month to check status.  As soon as it reached the 1 yr mark I contacted my Senators office.  He helped.  He wrote them twice and it was finally looked at 1 week later.

    Ours took 14 months to review, and another 8 months after reaffirmed to get another interview.  Good luck.  A lot depends on what service center you had and how backup up they are as well.

    Yes its normal to have to show domicile.  They need to know where you will live once you move to the USA.  Many people move back in with family and have them send information on that with address.  If you have a job lined up they will want to see that as well.  If not I am assuming you have a cosponsor already.  Good luck.

    It usually take 12 - 18 months for cases to be reviewed.  If you get a NOID/NOIR that usually takes another 3-4 months if reaffirmed, then wait again for another interview.  Good luck.

    DeeCSC got a reaction from EM_Vandaveer in IR1 reaffirmed but some confusion   
    From what I have been told its normal to have the second interview and once approved told to get the medical redone and submit before they issue the visa. As for why they say your file is at USCIS there is no telling. I am sure most of the time they have no idea where the files are, but I doubt they would schedule your interview without having your file.

    DeeCSC got a reaction from Ebunoluwa in NOIR RFE Review Timeframe   
    These all sound pretty straight forward. They are telling you exactly what they want.
    1. They need wedding pics
    2 They need your viber records
    3. They want all evidence you can send them about your relationship. Facebook chat, skype, phone ect.
    4 They need to understand how you met and the name of the person who introduced you. I would suggest if you can to have that person write something for you as well. You really need to explain this part well since it seems important to them.
    5. You need copies of all you plane itinerary. If you booked online print out everything you can about your trips, all dates and
    also any hotels that you stayed together in if you did. If you traveled together doing anything send them proof. If you took
    pics at each place, label them with your evidence. You need to show them a great timeline with no gaps.
    6. They want to see the entry stamps in your passport for each trip. Take clear pics.
    7. They need to know about Washington or the reasons why your husband didnt know much about it. You might also want to
    include what his plans are for work once he arrives. Also tell them what things he is looking forward to doing. Be creative. they are wanting more explanations.
    8. Sounds like the CO is picking at your travel itinerary. Were these places layovers or did you actually visit other places on your trips? If they were just layovers explain that, and include an explanation in your response.
    These are just a few suggestions. The more documentation you can give them proving your points the better. When I sent mine in I used a 3 ring binder with each point in a separate section. At the beginning or each section I wrote the number and the statement in front. Good luck. Try not to worry just be as exact as you can with everything.

    Just some insight on what happened to my husbands petition in Morocco. His interview was 10/20/14. After the interview was over the CO told him they would see him again and they would call him with the information. After 30 days i started emailing the embassy. Each time I would get the same response that they were reviewing it and would let us know when it was finished. The CEAC website always said administrative process. In Feb 2015 I started contacting the Senators office. They emailed the embassy to find out what the problem was. They heard nothing. I called them again 30 days later since I hadn't heard anything. The senators office emailed them again. This time we got a response saying that our file was returned with 221 g and gave the pouch # This was 3/15/15. We waited again. Several months go by I call the senators office again to have them check on our file. The file actually goes back to NVC first. Our file was there. They kept it for a long while before sending in to USCIS. They received our file on 7/12/15. They did contact me letting me know it was there. After 3 more months of hearing nothing the senators office contacted them again. They said it would take 1 year before it was considered out of regular processing time. I did contact them at 6 months 9 months 10 months 11 months 12 month. After 12 months and still nothing I made an info pass with the local office and called the senators office again. At the info pass they said I should have received an email from USCIS. They printed me a copy which said that do to a back log in USCIS which had nothing to do with our file it would take another 6 months before they would be able to get to our file. I flipped. Contacted the senators again. He contacted them again twice. The second time he told me if i didn't hear something in a couple weeks to let him know. Finally on 8/29/16 we received our NOIR. We sent our rebuttal back and they received it on 9/18/16. Its now been over 30 days with no response yet. I call USCIS they said to call again once the 60 day mark was finished to check on it again. Hopefully you now have so idea of how long this process takes. Keep collecting evidence now so you don't have to try and collect it all at one time. I hope the best with everyone in this crazy journey. Try not to stress too much it really doesn't help. Keep up with everything it will make the rebuttal easier. Don't be surprised if the reasons are extremely stupid.
