I just want to first thanks God and glorify his name , that my visa was approved and I am back in the states . After 18months battle with the Liberia embassy , which in my mind is the most incompetent morons I have ever seen . After having my case was reaffirmed and then again reinvestigated and have my constitutions rights violated with impunity the impression I have taken away from the process is that the consular officer in Africa and other third world countries feel that people in these countries don,t have any kind of rights.

Thanks to every one who responded with information to my case and I pray that every one here gets approved and please continue to help each other , cause I learnt a lot from people who came here to provide information to others and share information about their cases on this site .

A road without obstacles leads to no where .

Everything that happens works for Good, for those that believe in God.

Thanks alot for your response, the email i got from the embassy stated that in order to conclude my visa processing , that i should come along with my passport .

Please i just requesting information on any one that has been through Ap processing , when the embassy is requesting you to come with your passport , does this the visa will be approved .Thanks to any one that would respond

Let me preface my statement by saying that I am not well-versed in the area of waivers and such, but I'd still like to add my two cents here. I don't think you can file a waiver in this case until some application or petition have been denied. As you have stated the facts, there has been no denial yet. Instead your I129f expired, and your I130 has been misplaced. It seems like the key to moving your situation forward is to determine where your I130 actually is. Until that application is located you will not know where you are in the process.

Although you have retained an attorney, I feel you have to be your own best advocate. You don't have to sit back and wait for your attorney to call USCIS, DOS or NVC. If I were you I would devote some time to getting in touch with the right person at the NVC to determine where your application is. I think byran mentioned contacting an Omsbudman. That sounds like a great place for you to start. The thing is you have to do something! And your attorney (who may be well meaning) should take direction from you. If you want your attorney to make the calls, then have him/her make the calls!

Hopefully there will be others to come along to help give you more direction, but I just wanted to encourage you to be more proactive.

Good luck to you!!!!

Hi Taurean,

Thanks for your encouragment. Well CIS claims that they have our I-130, back from NVC, they tied it to the denied but expired I-129.... So yes, they have denied us, at the interview, but that is the last thing that occured. Since that 2 years nothing has happened. However we were told there are background checks going on. In all those years we never received an request for AOS fees. Either CIS never sent it, or NVC's denial of record for our petition is false. I am not sure if that is important to find out - but I feel somehow it must be key.

The reason I haven't been contacting CIS myself, or now the Omsbudsman is because the senator was helping but also - most importantly - is that the attorney said it a bad idea to call and annoy CIS regularly - that they don't like it and could take it out on us a bit. That is why I keep holding back, I figured that the senator called repeatedly.

But from what I'm reading, it's like you're fighting for your case not to get lost among millions of others. Thank you again for your points, I'm carefully considering everyone's view, I hate sitting here doing nothing for so many years, just as everyone else who has experienced it would feel I imagine.

Your att told you not to contact the cis because they could get angry . This really sounds ridiculous to say the least . When my case was denied the Consular officer lied that my marriage of six year did not have enough documentation to prove we had an established marriage . The consular officer has a policies that they must follow and so with Case workers at the Cis . But most people are not ware of the process so they suffer long wait due to the incompetence of these officers . Knowledge is power , please educate yourself to help yourself . If I were you , I would call every day until some one give you an answer . Don,t you know by calling it shows that you have a genuine relationship and they cannot keep ignoring you and they would have to answer you .

Hello All,

I have read through the waiver section here on the website. Can you please give me some focus or direction? As I understand the waiver is to prove a hardship is created for the petitioner if the beneficiary cannot immigrate. Correct? Though I have read that people have taken a waiver with them to an interview in case that visa is denied. Correct? I have been under the impression that a hardship wavier is the last choice on the list, when you run out of options. Is that accurate? I would like to understand how people have used this waiver and how long it takes to apply for it.

Thanks.

The 601 waiver program is for immigrants who has been denied a visa at the embassy and are qualified to file a waiver to over come the denial.You cannot file a waiver if you case is pending . You stated that your spouse case is waiting another six month of back ground checks . The current processing time for F.B.I back ground checks is 3months . When you are contacting your senator office you have known all the facts of your case and be able to explain what you want the senator to assist you with .The senator office staff don,t vast knowledge of immigration laws and processes . I have read your posting and it not very detailed .

You contact Ombudsmans Office informed them that your case is out side the processing time .Returned petitions should processed with 6 to 10months . Filled out a (CIS Omudsman form DHS-7001) and mail to the address on the form .

Click on the link below ,it show u the processing time of back ground checks .Print a copy and send it with a letter to senator office informing them that based on this information the processing time has been exceeded .

There is one thing you have to understand , immigration don,t always follow their policies and procedures ,but the information you have it would help you makre sure that your case is being processed according to the stated policies .

If you have any more questions , i am here to assist you in any way i can ,good luck .

You have to know the whole process and that very petition filed has a time line . A returned I 130 petition take average of ten months to be reviewed and adj . Since it is over a year ,you should contact (CIS Ombudsman Form DHS-7001) at http://www.dhs.gov/files/programs/editorial_0497.shtm and file out that form . They would check to verify why your petition has not being processed . What was the reason the two petition were returned and what is the status online on the uscis web site . You have to be persistent and keep calling the uscis and researching your case. When u Call the uscis number with I 129 and I 130 what is the status of your case .

I am curious if anyone here who was denied a visa for their fiance or spouse that have been reviewed in the US and had their case returned to the Consulate.

We're about 2 years out with no movement since our denial. We should be coming up to the review soon.

If so I wondered what was involved in your rebuttal. I realize it's countering the reasons for the denial, were you given a letter about why you were denied? We've never found out why. Yes, we have a lawyer and made strong solid guesses. The lawyer we have is using the rebuttal to concentrate on our strong relationship evidence. I wonder if that is how your rebuttal was presented or if you found legal reasons the findings were inaccurate.

Our denial was the "not enough evidence of bonafied relationship." So for last two years just gathered the weekly/daily phone records, my travel to my husband/pictures etc.

How does it compare to your own? I also wonder what happens when you're revoked. I just can't imagine it. I feel in shock as is my family and friends and my hubby's - our relationship is grounded and close, our families know each other.

Our lawyer who cares and knows our case in and out that will give our info and evidence for review. I just wondered how it was handled by different lawyers or families. Because of the time wait I've gone through periods of wondering if we needed a different lawyer because some of our circumstances seem so odd.

Like our I-129 that was denied was expired by the time my husband interviewed but not revalidated and they just told us it expired just not long ago. We also got a go - a letter from CIS saying our I-130 was headed to NVC and then they said no that the embassy had held it for that whole year and so they were going to need another 12 months at most to look at the I-130 and review it. He never interviewed for the I-130 but it was approved at the same time as the I-129

It has been nearly 2 years since our denial. We've been together about 5 years now.

Has anyone been reviewed and then reapproved and their case sent back to NVC and onto the consulate? What happened?

Any information from those who are denied and are years out from that - would appreciate. I love my husband and my family so much, I feel ill daily, I think it's affected my health. Last time we had to part at the airport I just felt torn and broken, I didn't know how to do that again. To do that once more in the future or repeatedly - I just feel weary. I would like to have my husband with my family here for special occasions. I know in my heart the truth will set us free, the evidence is all here - just waiting to find it's way to the desk of someone that will look at our case at immigration.

Yes, we have senator's involved. I don't know what else to do. What if we do this wrong and we're separated indefinitely?

--------------------

I am in the same process ,but i need you to give details of when the I-129 and the I-130 was filed . You don,t have to wait two years to have your petition reviewed and the embassy cannot hold your I-130 for 12months . There alot of things you can do right away than wait and i am will to help you once you respond

More information please, was it denied? what was the exact reason? Did you have an overstay in the United States since you say you entered without a visa?

Any more information would be helpful in having people answer your question.

Good luck
