Hello Again all,

Finanly, after 2 and a half years and 2 applications, our I-129F was finally approved. We were recently married and have one last question. What do we need to do to let immigration know that that we were married within the 90 days needed? Are there addidtional forms that we need to file. My wife has already applied for her socail security card. We just think that we may have missed something with all the excitement going on.

Thanks for all the comments folks. I simply wrote USCIS to look at both petitions and explained that they are both for the same woman. I received the letter my I-797 letter and the case will now go to Nigeria. In the I-797 it states that this is my second approved petition. I still don't understand why they have to not that part. It makes it sound like I have done this before with another woman. I will keep you all posted.

You seem to know a lot about this whole process. You are correct... The K1 Visa was approved by USCIS and then denied by the Embassy in Lagos, Nigeria. However, 4 months after Lagos denied the Visa, I received an official letter from USCIS which told me the Visa was denied. It seems in this case, the left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing. I would think that they would have done a little bit of internal investigation to figure this out. I was reapplying with more evidence to try and prove that our relationship is bona fide.

Maybe I didn't do a very good job of explaining my situation. My first K1 visa was denied. USCIS should know this, they are the ones that denied it. So, I refiled another k1 application. Same woman, same relationship. USCIS told me I need a waiver because I have multiple filings within a 2 year period. I called them again and explained the situation to the phone agent. He agreed that a mistake was made on their part. I will take all my documentation into the field office on Monday and go from there. I appreciate all the responses.

Hello All,

Get this. I have been waiting a few days to get the letter in the mail from USCIS, request for evidence. I have been wondering what they could possibly want. I have had some practice with the fiance visa paperwork, since my first application was denied. I have refiled, for the same woman, a second time. The first visa was denied because we couldn't establish a bona fide relationship. So. I front loaded the second application with a whole ream of paper which included emails, 2 trips to Nigeria, photos, boarding passes, hotel receipts. You name it.... I sent everything.

I got the letter and was shocked! I need to apply for a waiver because I am reapplying for another visa when the first one was denied. I don't get it. The first aplication was approved only at approved to move from the US to Lagos, Nigeria. Lagos, Nigeria denied it. I later received a letter making it offical from USCIS. It even told me I could reapply, so I did.

Luckily, I called the 800 number and was told to make an appointment at the field offie which I just did. Monday I should have some answers to this dilema.
