Get an Infopass appointment ASAP. Google how to get an Infopass appt. I think you have to do it after midnight or 3 am (something like that) to find appointments.

 

And good lawd, how can people be so careless with such important documents.

While I agree with you that it was very careless, don't judge too much as it can happen with everyone. Thank you for advice.

Schedule an Infopass appointment and ask for an I551 stamp using the 12 month extension letter as proof of ongoing LPR status.  As to the transfer message, many got that message and no one is really sure if it means anything.

 

Good Luck!

Thanks.

I just realized that her passport is in the embassy for extension:( Is passport the only place infopass can stamp?
 

Oh, also, we just got the mail from USCIS stating this "Case Was Transferred And A New Office Has Jurisdiction" Does that mean we are close to get approved? and could that help in anyway our situation?

Hi guys, I tried to find this information but can't find exact problem that I have. Sorry in advance if this topic already exists but this is URGENT matter so I need anybody's HELP ASAP.

So my wife has applied to remove her conditions from green card. Her Green card now expired. She got a 12 month letter extension and then later we got 6 more month extension letter. her 12 month extension is expiring next week and we just realized that we can't find her 6 month extension anywhere. we might have forgotten it in the folder that was lost when we traveled for work. And the problem is that my wife's employer now that her 1 year extension is expiring next week requesting her the proof of residency. What should I do? I am guessing cooperation in that time frame from USCIS is not possible. what are my other options? I read somewhere that you can stamp the passport? but i don't think that's gonna be possible in that timeframe either. We tried to show the employer Case Status but they want the official paper that has her name and everything.

Please help. It would really suck to lose the job because of this.

Hey guys, I have couple quick question but wasn't able to find answer on the forum. I am sure there is one but it will be faster just to ask here.

1.

when filling i-751, do i need to provide fee for my child for biometrics too even if he was born in US and already has American passport? The way USCIS website worded it makes me question this even though I think it is pretty obvious that child is not having condition removed. He is already Citizen just by being born here, right?

2.

Is Marriage certificate a must in Evidence docs? We can't seem to find the paper and we moved to a different state. Should I bother and try to get the Certificate or you think USCIS might have it on file from when We filled for Green Card after K1 visa?

Thanks in advance and good luck everyone! 

Didn't get txt or e-mail. just randomly checked forum and saw a lot of people checking their status manually on USCIS. and BAM. EAD and TD Approved.

Thank you everyone for all nice words. Some of them were really touchy and we appreciate all the support and all the blessings.

Here is our little Lovestory video:) I am sure some of you can relate easily;)

Good luck.

Jon York, Thanks for the resource about denials. Unfortunately i cannot think of any of those reason that may match our case:(

And it did seem like decision had been made prior interview and even the fact that she wasn't on the scheduled list for the interview was weird as well:(

Wow:(

Thanks for the help you provided already...

Harpa Timsah, what are your thoughts on receiving a paper with "Other" marked and when i reach out the embassy, they say record shows 221g?

A 221g is a temporary denial, it means your fiance needs to provide more paperwork, or they're sending your case back to USCIS to be re-affirmed.

http://www.***removed***/visas/221grefusal/administrative-processing-221g.html

http://blogs.usembassy.gov/philippines/received-a-221g-letter-go-online-to-check-your-case-status/

The 221g is typically issued if, for example, the medical exam results expired, or she didn't pass it and needs treatment. It states they're sending it to be re-affirmed, so I would wait on that wedding and CR1. USCIS will re-affirm a case fairly quickly. Give it about 3 months. You may just end up with a second interview and an approval.

Good luck.

Thank you for all the info and suggestions.

The only problem with that is that on paper it is not marked as 221G. It is marked under Other.

belinda63, where are you getting this info from?

I can only imagine how much a denial at the embassy point is heartbreaking, but this is not an "end all".

You should at some point get information regarding your denial. With no details as to what happened, or what may have caused them to deny your petition, none of us can help you remedy the issue or even offer any particularly useful advice.

You're free to take people's advice, or to ignore it. But I would suggest that you do try, not to bite the hand that feeds. Lashing out at VJ'ers who are only trying to help you is not the best way to deal with your situation, and they most definitely do not deserve it. You're not angry at them, and they didn't deny your visa.

The Consulates always have a legitimate reason for denying a K1 visa at the point of the interview. It takes more paperwork for them to deny than approve, so they don't make that decision lightly. Not knowing what that reason is, does not make it any less legitimate. Your only way to battle this is through knowledge. VisaJourney and the users who have been through this process are a goldmine of valuable insight and information. I would listen to what others are telling you.

Something happened in that interview that caused them to deny the K1, obviously your papers and evidence was more than enough to have gotten that far. You may have gotten a 221g, which is a temporary denial because you need to provide more paperwork (I got a 221g and now we have our visa in hand, a couple months later). They may send your case back to USCIS to be re-affirmed, and you'll have a second interview if it's reaffirmed. You may be able to appeal, or you could just say "screw it" and go there to get married, and file for a CR1. If you do that, though, I would wait a period to ensure that USCIS will not re-affirm your case, as it can get confusing, when you have a K1 on the table and a CR1 filed because you're now married.

You need to email the embassy the interview was at, ask for a reason for the denial so you know what are your next steps. Inform them that your fiance is inconsolable, and you're unable to get the information from her, at the moment.

Good luck.

Thanks!

Once again, i appologize if I seemed angry at anybody. I am disspointed and sad, but i don't want to take my saddness on member taht are sharing their opinions and trying to help.

I decided to go with CR-1 as wedding planning and my arrival is distracting my fiancee very well from being a heartbroken and feeling guilty that she ruined everything. It was mentioned in this topic that I can attach a paper when i send docs in for CR1 to cancel my K-1 petition. I think I will do that unless USCIS reviews my file before end of september, which is when my marriage registration is. Wedding is on October 18th.

Basically I think to learn the reason and get prepared better for CR-1 interview. Eventhough I am not sure how to better prepare than tell the truth that you love your loved one. How are you supposed to prove your relationship? I understand that too much hurts but still. I don't think it was too much considering such strong and uncommon feelings we have for one another. i don't know.

Ps, Here is what US Embassy replied:

Dear Sir/Madam,

In response to your letter please note that all Visa applications are adjudicated in accordance with criteria specified in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). We reviewed our records and confirmed that the applicant was refused an immigrant visa under Section 221(g) of the INA. Section 221(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) prohibits a consular officer from issuing a visa to an alien if the consular officer has reason to believe that the alien is ineligible.

The petition will be returned to USCIS. Please send all inquiries and correspondence to USCIS and reference your original petition number. If the petition will expire by the time USCIS receives it, USCIS will not reopen the case. You may contact the USCIS national customer service center at 1-800-375-5283 for information about returned petitions.

The applicant or petitioner may direct all future inquiries to USCIS. Once we return the case, the file will no longer be retained at this consular section and we will be unable to take further action until USCIS has reviewed the case.

Best Regards

Consular Section

There seems to be a miscommunication problem if you think I am angry or accusing you. I said that the talk at her interview about how she loved you so much was rather strange, then you said that's not what she really said. So, why put it there if she didn't say it?

I asked who talked to who first, and you made a big point of saying how you mutually talked, emphasizing the "we" as if I was suggesting something. I'm not, just trying to get some answers.

You seem like a nice guy who is genuinely confused.

Maybe someone else can try.

I am trying to convince you that we are real just like we have to convince CO. I thought that was the idea, no?

as far as "that's not what she really said" I am not sure how people do it, but quote word by word what you said after 4 hrs of frustration wait and then after nervous interview, then after hours and hours of crying is impossible. My fiancee is not able to recall every single word she said. she is not a machine that has a hard drive in her head to record every thing. i wouldn't be able to recall either:( It sucks but it is a reality.

And I think some of your questions were helpful, for example it brought an idea about internship that i forgot about. so please if you can think of something else, do ask as it may trigger something else that I am not thinking of right now.

and to be clear, I DO NEED and WANT help.

I do think it is messed up, but that is what they do in most cases. There are also reasons for it, like privacy reasons.

You still need to go over every question with your fiance. You said you did it but then you said what you wrote isn't what she said. You also skipped over the questions about your families.

I also have a lot more questions but it doesn't seem like you want this help, so I am not going to force you to answer if you are not interested.

I did discuss every single question and answer with my fiancée and I answered every single of your question too. I have no idea what question you are referring to. Maybe you didn't read my reply. I am not going to force you to help me if you don't want to help....

and what does that mean I don't want help. what am I doing here then? cry about my sad story? do you really think that is why i am here? I have better things to do that complain and cry about it.... Wedding planning for example...

sorry, i just get really frustrated when you keep accusing me for no reason. I didn't complain when you accused my fiancée lying to me and stuff like that because it is related to this topic and might give me ideas of a denial reason. But accusing me of not being interested in help or not answering questions that has nothing to do with interview process and doesn't help at all.

There is a reason, it's just that you don't know the reason.

well don't you think it is messed up?

I mean it is the same as if somebody was sent to jail and woulnd't be told a reason and would be told - You stay in jail while we review your file, and it will take 120 days....

stupid...

How about coming back a couple of months before the interview and getting a new job, so to provide fresh employer's info and paystubs? For the year 2014, I believe, you've made enough already to sponsor her.

Me and Nodar are considering that as well. Being apart really hurts.

I mean if i get a job there, i can save enough to show that it will be enough for the period of time while I look for a job. Ugh I hope someone knowledgable would suggest something on this part.

And it does hurt. That's why im flying there right now and have to pretty much do the wedding to distract her with this business and wedding problems. She doesn't even know about 14 month intead of 10. i don't know how to tell her:( just hope for luck maybe. idk:(

Beautifulday, thanks. i know. at least a hint or somehting:( i am so tired of telling people that we were denied for no reason. They look at me like i am stupid and don't know what i am talking about:(

But It's only allowed to do so within the US

The same here:(

I got 2 month off and will save my job, but can't work:( I could find a job in Azerbaijan, and i heard you make big bucks there as an american citizen, but how am I going to come back here without a sponsor?

So you want to have a wedding in Azerbaijan and then register the marriage somewhere else?

calm down, just asking for advice. isn't all this foruim all about? not about assumption that people are bad or trying to fraud but about adivices...

Ryan H,

So timelines I found for CR-1 is 14 month. Is that true?

I am not an expert, it's just my thought - in your case it would be better for you to have your wedding in Azerbaijan, in front of all her and possibly your family - you might bring your Mom and step Dad to your wedding as well. That will look better for the future spouse visa interview.

I was talking about actually registration, not wedding. Wedding is already being planned:) Flying there on September 10th:)

Thanks! Is there countries where we could get married that would benefit K3 or it doesn't matter really?

is getting a visa to other countries for a vacation hurt K3 process? would she even be approved?

Different embassies check different boxes for the same thing, which is confusing.

OP: I don't think the failed background check is the reason, just trying to go over any past history with the US and US visas. She had an interview with the US gov, so I don't think a failed (non-bribed) Azerbaijan check will mean much.

When did she apply for the internship? Did she ever apply for the US visa for it?

Did she start talking to you around the same time her time in Russia was done? Who found who first?

She applied for internship sometimes in October, november. can't tell you for sure. 2013. No, she did not apply for the US visa.

No, WE started talking when she graduated fir first 4 years of degree. So she applied for Master's degree and spent 2 more years there. and I found her.
