My whole story in short is that I am a US Citizen. I got engaged to someone in India in 2018 and filed for a K1 visa. Officer gave her a 221g stating your file is incomplete. Then they sent a letter stating that they are sending the file back to USCIS for possible revocation because the officer received information that shows the beneficiary is not eligible. USCIS then closed the case stating that the expiration period has passed and that all USCIS action in this matter is concluded. We consulted a lawyer and he advised us to get marrried and file for an immigrant visa. We got married in 2020 and filed. The interview was scheduled in February 2023 and the officer gave my wife a refusal based on misrepresentation and asked her to get a waiver. I reached out to my senator to try to find out the basis for this and the embassy replied: "applicant was found ineligible in March 2020 when she applied for a K1 visa. The consular officer at that time found that she had willfully misrepresented her marital status." I also emailed LegalNet, and they said: "applicant’s application was refused based on a finding originally made by USCIS, a part of DHS. Consular officers cannot remove an inadmissibility finding originally entered by DHS. If you wish to address the factual or legal basis of the ineligibility finding, you will need to contact DHS... TRIP." So I reached out to DHS TRIP and they sent back a lengthy, unrelated letter, of which the only phrase possibly addressed to me was: "we have made any corrections to records that our inquiries determined were necessary". I sent follow up emails to LegalNet, my sentor's office, and I also sent multiple emails to the embassy, CIS Ombudsman, NVC, DOS Ombudsman, DOS, but none replied constructively. I also sent a FOIA request to USCIS, and the file came back with a section of six pages labeled "Risk and Fraud" fully redacted.
 
Since the CR1 refusal in February, I've sought the help of over 40 attorneys offices and legal services but no one really offered any help which fit my needs. In the end, I agreed to file a waiver with the attorney who had advised me to get married back in 2019. USCIS received the I-601 at the Nebraska Center on August 8th, 2023. According to the website, it takes aprox. 21 months for this to get approved, (if it does). Does anyone know any way to speed up the process? I'm considering hiring another attorney to file a Writs of Mandamus.
 
TLDR: K1 was denied for for misrep (but they didnt tell me about the misrep) and when i filed marriage based they refused. Embassy, DOS, and USCIS are non cooperative and they want a waiver which will take about two more years. Any idea how to speed things up? How about WoM?
 
 

Noo. It was an engagement ceremony. No nikah was done until we officially married in 2020 after the k1 case was closed
