on the new I-9 instructions for employers, they specifically instruct how to authenticate work status using only a passport and the 551 stamp, so no, they don't need a ss# to get started working from what I read

Ok, back to researching and have a question. There seem to be 2 types of appeals, and I am confused at which one would apply to cases sent back for review then being denied:
1. Administrative Appeals Office
I-290B Form and Process
2. Notice of Appeal of Decision Form I-694
Now, I 'think' that the I-290B is the correct form and process for denied petitions but it is not very clear. From what I understand now, not every case can be appealed. When the petitioner receives notification of denial from the USCIS the notice will tell them if the can appeal and which office to appeal to.
Concerning a K1 there is probably no right to an appeal...which really doesn't matter to me. In the even we are denied we will get married and file for the K3. The timeframe of an appeal is HUGE and from what I hear most of the appeals are fruitless. Still I want to research everything I can...even if it does not help our case, maybe it will help someone else.
Has anyone else researched the appeal process? Which form is correct?
