At this point, I would certainly get my Senator's office involved. They should be able to, at least, get a response from the consulate, as to what, if anything, can be done.

What actions has the US citizen undertaken to fix this situation? A year at DOS prior to an interview is way, way too long.

@Gassama, are you the beneficiary or the US citizen?

The US citizen should have contacted their Representative and/or Senator long, long ago.

It would be helpful if you properly completed your VJ timeline so that we could see all the associated dates in your case. What is the date for the approval of the I-129F (NOA2)? When was it in "Ready" status at CEAC? It appears the consulate no longer has the case. Normally, the consulate can (and does) extend approved petitions for 4 month increments up to a year. It appears your case was at DOS longer than a year. I hope you can revive this one. Good luck Edit: Has the US citizen contacted their US Congressperson or Senator? The message says you HAD the chance to re-instate the case, but you failed to do so.

The visa is already issued and delivered. The visa holder plans to attend CFO on Monday, and travel same day.

Exactly correct. USCIS makes the determination based on your records....not based on what CBP writes.

Not possible. That is not how it works. No one is getting a Green Card or visa prior to their PD becoming current on the visa bulletin unless they qualify in a different category which IS current.. The Visa Bulletin is certainly NOT useless.

The normal process is to call the applicant and ask if they can travel prior to visa expiration date if the medical expires within a couple weeks. Sometimes, they even direct the applicant to obtain a new medical if it is close to expiration. That has been the case in multiple instances I've seen. Keep us up to date. We are rooting for you.

Maybe....if the sponsor can prove fraud. Otherwise, the obligation is intact. "Responsibilities as a Sponsor When you sign the affidavit of support, you accept legal responsibility for financially supporting the sponsored immigrant(s), generally until they become U.S. citizens or are credited with 40 quarters of work. Your obligation as a sponsor also ends if you or the individual sponsored dies or if the individual sponsored ceases to be a lawful permanent resident and departs the United States. Note: Divorce does NOT end the sponsorship obligation. If an immigrant you sponsored receives any means-tested public benefits, you are responsible for repaying the cost of those benefits to the agency that provided them. If you do not repay the debt, the agency or the immigrant can sue you in court to get the money owed. Any joint sponsors and household members who allowed the sponsor to combine their income with the sponsor’s income to meet the minimum income requirements are also legally responsible for financially supporting the sponsored immigrant. In fact, any joint sponsor and household member is jointly or severally liable with the petitioning sponsor, meaning that the joint sponsor and household member are independently liable for the full extent of the reimbursement obligation and can be sued in court or be asked to pay the money owed, even if the petitioning sponsor is not sued or asked for money."

12 years as a Green Card holder? He waited a long time to apply for citizenship.

I am very, very surprised the consulate would issue a visa with only a few days of validity.

The vast majority of B visa denials are due to lack of strong ties to home country.

Run away from this "marriage" ! This is beyond abnormal behavior. I would go to the police for the violence and threats, then I would immediately hire a divorce attorney. Yes, you will be obligated under the I-864 if his Green Card has been approved, but that might be the least of your worries. His immigration path is his responsibility.

I see no exemption for K-1s in the actual ban wording.

Another vote for marriage then a spousal visa.

Your questions are not dumb. My opinion: 1. I-751 instructions do not require a marriage certificate. We didn't include it. 2. You should include evidence from date of marriage to present. 3. None. I submitted no personal affidavits as they carry little weight. I would not collect more. Actual documentation created during a normal marriage is far better evidence. Think quality......Good luck. The next step (citizenship) is far easier, imo.

My wife got a jury summons within a couple months after she naturalized here in Dallas County a couple years ago.

Enter today's date for the 1st question.

My wife registered within 10 minutes after receiving her Naturalization Certificate. They had kiosks from all the surrounding counties there at her ceremony.

Exactly. Here at DFW, all direct international travelers are in a restricted area until after they have cleared immigration, customs, secondary, and picked up their baggage. Even the baggage area is restricted.

Let's hope the expiration date of the visa allows time for CFO and travel.
