You have to meet BEFORE you send the I-129F ... You have met now so just send in a new I-129F with the evidence.

Thank you, Georgia16. That is exactly what I intend to do and I will be extra careful this time.

The I 129F should be approved this time, OP please read up on Ghana. It's a tough embassy. How did you get your green card?

DV Lottery

Very Tough embassy I suggest studying the guides and stories from the post in the Ghana portal before refiling, and getting your paper work right this time and approved and it makes it all the way to the embassy is good, but then comes the interview with the consular ??, now that's a whole neither story! So study and good luck! ???

Thank you Senior

best of luck, I'm sure it will get approved this time.

I got my fingers crossed

Thank you

They've seen each other since he filed the first petition. He can just use evidence of that meeting in the new petition.

That's exactly what i intend doing

You can refile but you will still have to meet the requirements. So u need to see each other before you re file

Thank you, now I have all the evidence and I meet the 2 years prior to filing requirement. I intend to refile

Make sure u pay the correct fee 340

I was issued a 341 money order when i payed for a 340 one. I didn't catch the mistake the clerk made. Sent it in and it took them 30 days to mail it back because of incorrect fee. So we lost a month of progress

$340 thank you

Did you miss the part in the instructions where it says that the only way to get approved if you haven't met within the last 2 years is if a) "the requirement to meet your fiance(e) in person would violate strict and long-established customs of your or your fiance(e)'s foreign culture or social practice"; or b) "the requirement to meet your fiance(e) in person would result in extreme hardship with you"?. Just not taking the time to travel does not fit in there.

Thank you for your kindness, I will refile

How did answer question 34 and 34a on the I-129F?

34 was NO

34a was met for the first time in high school and the last time before I left ghana

On what basis did you come to the US?

green card

Pay another fee and refile

Thank you

On what basis did you come to the US?

green card

Rules are rules. If you've not met within the two years prior to the petition, no K-1. Why did you sign the form saying you had met within the previous two years if you hadn't? Did you think they wouldn't notice?

Thank you for replying to me. I didn't sign saying we have met, i told them inluding documents that we have not met ever since i came to the United States in 2008. May be I should have just waited and file after I returned from my visit

Thank you

You have to meet BEFORE you send the I-129F ... You have met now so just send in a new I-129F with the evidence.

Thank you. I think my best option is to file for a new I-129F and would I have to pay another $360 processing fee?

My name is Henry, I am a naturalized citizen of the United States originally from Ghana. In October 2015, I filed the I-129F petition for Hannah, my fiancee. I've known Hannah since high school (high school sweetheart). I was in the U.S for eight years and had not seen her. After filling I was told the petition was received and it has been accepted. On December 28, 2015, I went to Ghana for the first time since I came to U.S, in 2008. The reason why I went was because I got admission for graduate school therefore if I should start school in Spring 2016, I may not be able to visit anytime soon. Before I left in December, I received a letter from USCIS requesting for evidence of meeting in the past two years prior to the application. I had stated in my petition and added documents stating that I had not been able to Ghana in the past eight years. I came back to the U.S January 13 because I had a workshop on January 14 and school starts a week after that. As a response to the request for evidence, I sent all my flight receipts, boarding passes, pictures and other things they requested for. I got a notice that they have received my evidence on January 20, 2016, and are reviewing it at their California service center. On March 7, 2016, I received a notice that my I-129F fiancee petition has been denied and I would receive a mail stating the reason and my options. The problem I have is that I do not know whether to appeal or to start a whole new application process. And to be honest, this hurts so bad especially when you've done all you can to stay a resourceful citizen, do the right things and you get denied.

I am going to Ghana in May 2016 as part of my studies to do a research work on the effects of dry land and migration on the agrarian economy of northern ghana. I do not know if I can use this trip to my benefit or just go there, do my research and come back into the U.S and see what USCIS do with me.
