Well, they emailed me yesterday and it sounded to me that it was on the way. Should I emailed them and find out if they sent it ?

NVC is the first stop. Right ?

You can either refile or wait for an appeal. Beware that it may be months before the petition gets back especially if the CO is upset with you. When my first petition was being returned they embassy was saying for months that it had been sent back when in fact it was still there. By holding it and not reaffirming it the K1 expires. That is how CSC sees it. We refiled with a heavily front loaded the petition. CDC has historically called the returned petition expired. VCS his varied on their behavior.

I am also concerned about refiling I NEED to make sure that the this petition is closed for sure right ?

The petition is on the way back.

What are my next steps ?

Refile ? appeal ?

Help

congrattsss. Finally your nightmare is over.

My lawyer and senator have been emailing the consulate the last past days.

They are not responding. I guess they are sitting on my papers

Me on the other end I dont know what to do.

consulate is not responding at all after my lawyer sent several emails and also the senator. any ideas ?

Congrats. Finally.

I have the best lawyer who I can find... and she is on top of it

The evidence is all set. So as soon as they want it... I can present it.

As of now, I dont know where the petition is. I hope its not on the way back here as they expire in 4 months.. which is next month.

Any advice would be greatly appreciate it.

anyyoneee ????

Hi Beinha.

I have already been in contact with Rodrigo and he has been very helpful.

Our case seems to be very smilar and he had the same officer interviewing him.

The case has finally been forwarded to the officer again but " I think" he pushed it right back and requested it to be returned.

I have my lawyer working on it and I also called the Senator several times.

They also should get my fedex package this morning with a letter in it from my lawyer. We tried to fax it but the fax was busy ALL day last week.

I am just looking ahead, and trying to figure out whats going to happen.

could someone move this to the 212 forum. I posted this in the wrong section.

As some of you know my fiance had his visa interview a couple of weeks ago and it did not turn out well.

The interviewing officer said we dont have a real relationship.. blabla and handed him a piece of paper where 212 a5a is checked off.

My lawyer has been in contact with the consulate and at one point last week our case got sent again to the interviewing officer but he pushed it right back. He wants it returned to the US and revoked.

I am very upset over this because of all this what he is trying to do is so not true. We do have a very valid relationship and he did not even want to look at all our evidence.

On Friday the Senator emailed.. and we also tried to fax a letter to the consul but the fax was busy all day so we mailed it. It should get there today.

My questions are: How soon do they usually return petitions when they want them revoked ?

What actually happens when it does get sent back here (hopefully not ) will we have a chance to sent in evidence ? How long does all this take.. whats the processing time, weeks, months, years ?

Thanks so much.

they will finally sent the email.. well hopefully.

I hope and pray it does not get returned.

The last I heard thats what they wanted to do. The emails did not really help, I think. My lawyer fedex'd a letter down there since the fax was busy all day yesterday.

I am not sure at this point of the Senators office sent the email to Brazil that they said they would on Wednesday.

Now the girl that suppose to sent it is out on vaca. but they are checking if that happend. The Senators Office also has my entire package with the evidence.

I am trying to understand whats will happen if they do sent it back... I understand it a little but still confused.

Is there anyone out here that has actually been in this situation ?

Thank you.

It went back to the officer and he said he wants to return it back to the US.

This is so frustrating. I called the Senator again and I feel like I am talking to 18 year olds there.

Whats next ?

and they want to push the petition back again.

Thanks for the info.

I need to read this again. The papers are finally getting moved again to the interviewing officer.

Wish me luck.

Thats to talk at a later point.

right now that petition need to stay at the consulate thats for sure.

I called the Senator earlier and I think I was talking to a 18 year old. ( thats what she sounded like )

I requested that she pleasse email the consulate and request my petition to stay there. Now, hopefully she will do that.

I just called the senator and see if they got my letter and evidence.

I asked them if she could pleaaasseeee help me and email the consulate and request the petition to stay in Rio.

She said she thinks this most likely would not really help...... but she would do it anyway.

Arrrrgghgh.

I sent a letter and my entire evidence to the senator last night. lets see what happens.

congrats. you give me hope

a big congrats.

I am in the same boat... then you were in the beginning. You give me hope

I think our situation is different. They said we dont have a real realationship and slapped him with this weird code.

I guess they did not have any other code to use so they use whatever.

I called the senator yesterday, I will fight this to the end.

yes you are reading it right.

maybe the consul thinks the relationship is not real so that he can come to the states to work.

it does not even make sense. We need to fight and have this petition stay in Rio. I have every right to get anothe appointment so I can show them ALL my proof.

Not sure if I mentioned but he got a paper that said 212 a5a . Which means Labor Certification. But we were told the relationship is not real. 2 different things.

Thanks for the article. I already read some of it last night but will read it again.

I been thru so much in this entire process and I refuse to let them win.

I will wait to see what my lawyer has to say. currently we are trying for the petition to stay in RJ.

We deserve a second chance to interview or at least to present the evidence thats for sure.

Thanks for all the support
