Forget about that I129f petition and start planning for CR1. Fire that lawyer of yours and do it on your own. I never trust them, specially in India where they purposely create problems just to get more money out of the clients. I have had personal experience with the lawyers over there. The forms and the process is pretty straight forward. Just do your research and you will get CR1. If you keep running after your I129f petition then you will loose more time. 

Thanks for your input. Did u also go through the same process?

OP, from reading this thread it sounds like your attorney may not have front-loaded enough information to convince the IO that the relationship was bona fide.  That or the engagement ring photos looked too much like a wedding ceremony.  Whatever happened, it is done now and it's time to move on.  Whether you try for a K-1 again or get married and try for a CR-1 (highly recommended), DON'T hire an attorney this time, do it all yourself, and front-load the petition by including lots of evidence of time spent together.  And do a lot more reading about the process here on VJ, and study similar cases to yours to find out what worked for others.  Good luck!

Thanks Carmel. Will look into this but my fear is what after we get married they deny us since the first time we got denied. Also can we start the process soon as we get married?

Thanks to the both of you. Will this not deny me again since i was denied the first time?

Thanks. Will see what next to be done.

Thanks Georgia. Am waiting for the attorney to get back to me.

I called the NVC they have still not received the package and they say that it will be sent back to the USCIS and i need to follow up with them

to know the status in some days.

Do you think i can contact the USCIS?

i do understand what you are saying. I did not receive any email as yet to state that our case has been denied from the NVC yet.

I checked the status on the ceac site and i found it, so i called NVC today and they say the documents have not yet been received

on their end but they have sent it from Mumbai-India and she said that when it reaches it will be sent to the USCIS.

Does this mean NVC sends it over to USCIS or it goes directly to the USCIS from the Mumbai consulate?

When they receive it will they let us know the denial? How long do you think it will be before we hear from the?

if we get an email then can we apply again?

Please let me know.

Have you also been through this?

We hired an attorney so am not sure if in the initial package

the air tickets, chat messages, call logs, hotel receipts, engagement

receipt were sent.

i submitted all of the documents at the drop box location that i live in along with the 221g form.

What application form should i have used?

We have submittedt them all  proof of all documents. I just believe they do not like Indians and i happened to be the victim.

Purchase of the engagement ring as proof.

How long will the CR1 take?

Also can we file immediately after we get married?

We did not have an engagement ceremony at all. All we did  was he put the ring on my finger and just had a pic of me with the engagement ring.

Can we appeal this?

Can our attorney fight this for us?

we both are really disappointed and sad.

Do we have other options?

I wore formal clothes. I had a Shirt with a formal pant like i attended an interview.

Thanks,

Angie

Yes i did send the receipt and a pic of me with the engagement receipt.

Thanks for the response. We do not have any age difference of much it is like only 5 years and we both are christians.

We never got married at all, we only got engaged and we have proof of our relationship being legite.

So does that mean we got denied?

Thanks,

Hello Georgia,

We met for the first time in 2017 march, 2nd time October 17th and third time in June 2018. According to the 221g all documents were submitted

except the joint account as i am not in the US and we cannot have any shared finances since we are unmarried and i do not have a SSN to open the account.

Other than that all documents were sent .

Attached is the 221 g that i received.

So this means we have been denied?

Thanks,

Hello Can somebody help.

I had my interview on 11th Jan'2019 in Mumbai, the CO gave me a 221 g saying proof of relationship needed and other supporting documents which i submitted on 11th Feb'2019. My case changed to AP and my daughter's case changed to Ready saying she is ready for interview. So i contacted the Help desk and finally after one week it changed to Returned to NVC. We have submitted proofs of all

documents where my Fiancee visited me thrice, we have all documents of flight itineraries, photos, boarding pass, chat logs, text msgs, photographs, hotel receipts, notarized letters in support of our

relationship, wedding plans, everything that they ever asked from us but inspite of that they have this sent over to NVC today.

Can somebody please help as this is really depressing as we have been waiting for 3 years now to be together. What happens now in this case?

Does this mean we will be denied?

If somebody is knowledgeable of this or has been through the same process will you please let me know what happens next?

Thanks.
