    The I-290B fee is $800!!! The cost of a new I-130 is less than $700. There is no guarantee the I-290B would even be approved.
  2. Crazy Cat
    Not necessarily. Besides, if the I-129B is denied (this was not an error on the part of USCIS) , you will have to refile anyway. You have no way to know if the signature was the only issue. Signatures are normally checked immediately after receipt of the form. Once they discovered the missing signatures, they, likely, stopped processing it. I'll ask again.....who is the petitioner (US citizen) and who is the beneficiary? $680 vs $800

    Start from scratch. Refile a new, correct I-130 package. Rationale: Why submit an expensive I-290B for an issue which was your error? The I-290 could be denied, requiring you to file a new I-130 anyway.

    Welcome to the VJ forums. Please clarify. Who is the US citizen? You or your wife? Beneficiaries do not sign I-130s. Was the I-130 denied or just rejected?
  6. Crazy Cat
    You should list your actual current address as what it really is.
  7. Crazy Cat
    If you are living together, I would have the beneficiary sign the form.

    https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/SaudiArabia.html "Third country nationals born in Saudi Arabia who are unable to obtain birth certificates should provide two affidavits of birth attested by a Saudi government entity such as a government ministry, court, or neighborhood chief (Omdah), or a lawyer."

    Look on page 33 of the document @Dashinka listed.

    I see no reason for them to have quotas for denials. Denials normally happen because the CO considers the applicant as inadmissible or the CO has doubts that the relationship/marriage is real. The NOID letter will be specific, and you will have the opportunity to address and rebut each point the CO makes. Your wife should be able to pinpoint exactly where the problem lies based on the CO questions. Good luck. I hope you get the letter from USCIS soon. Once USCIS reaffirms the case, the consulate cannot deny again for the same reasons.

    Path of least resistance is probably just to get another medical exam.

    You got lucky. There are plenty of real cases here on VJ which resulted a a denial based on "too married for a K-1" determination by the Consulate. It happens. There is a reason we are advising against anything which looks like a marriage ceremony....and the OP even called it that.
  13. Crazy Cat
    What paperwork did your wife receive from the Consulate Officer? Can you post a redacted copy?
  14. Crazy Cat
    If denied, the case will be sent back to USCIS. In a few months, you should get a Notice of Intent to Deny from USCIS. You will be given a chance to rebut the denial. If successful, USCIS will then send it back to the consulate.

    Another vote to IMMEDIATELY contact NVC to delay the interview until after the ban ends. . Otherwise, it will be a very cumbersome process.
  16. Crazy Cat
    I suggest you seek professional help immediately.

    In these situations, the applicant normally knows why the visa was actually denied. I think something else was said or discovered during the interview. That "reason" of traveling together doesn't sound legit to me.
  18. Crazy Cat
    "and judges"!!!! LOL

    You accurately list the dates of her travel. There is no requirement for her to have an arrival stamp after a trip outside the US. This is not an issue.
  20. Crazy Cat
    That is done at USCIS. You won't know until you look at the Green Card itself.
  21. Crazy Cat
    Use the receipt number for the payment of the Green Card (immigrant fee ) paid to USCIS after the visa was issued.
  22. Crazy Cat
    Agree. Even if they were sequential, individual field offices have influence over processing speed of N-400s....unlike I-130s and I-129Fs.

    For whatever reason, she now has a court date in 3 weeks. I would not try to fight this alone. I would immediately find an attorney who can build a good case. Hopefully, the judge will allow her to stay.
  24. Crazy Cat
    Because Marriage does NOT grant ANY legal status or authorization to stay in the US. When the I-485 was denied, she immediately became deportable since it was beyond the authorized 90 days. If she then immediately refiled a PROPER I-485, she should be granted authorized stay until the new I-485 is adjudicated. However, now that she has a court date, she better get an attorney TODAY! Seems to me her only defense will be that she refiled the I-485. This is not DIY. This is pretty serious.

    They are....but sometimes a Green Card holder will have to get biometrics done after they arrive in the US due to unclear fingerprints. What DOESN'T happen is a Green Card holder getting called back in for an interview after arriving. Who would even conduct an interview??
