Why shouldn't you file right away? You married right away, so why would it be damaging to your case to file right away? Think about it, you married right after the K1 visa was denied just in time before you returned to the US. Would waiting weeks or months to file to I-130 change that fact? No. It would only mean that your case would take longer to complete.

i honestly don't know i went too see an actual attorney yesterday and they advised me that because of the bbs situation she said so they wont think its a fraud it made no sense to me either that's why I'm asking for advice i feel im very prepared to demonstrate that the relationship is true but i really don't know what to do i'm sooooo frustrated.. :crying:

Amaabepo,

I am so sorry to read that your fiance was denied his visa. I was looking forward to hopefully reading good news from you! I am surprised you were able to get married so soon (I thought there was a wait of at least a couple of days or something). Anyway, I guess you have chosen your new route. Upon return to the USA you need to file the I-130 and petition for your husband to try to get the CR-1 visa. You need to get your Dominican marriage certificate translated as USCIS will need the translation of the original Spanish document.

You could file your I-130 petition as a DCF (Direct Consular Filing) only if you were living in the DR. I have read that you would have to be a legal resident of the DR and have a cedula (ID card) in order to be able to file DCF. Yet, it sounds as though you are returning to the USA and does not seem as though you are planning on living in the DR for now. Now, I wish you had considered your situation more carefully and would have consulted with other people who have gone through the process in the DR (such as the people in the Dominicans to the USA website). I am sure they would have advised you to get married and file for the CR-1 and not bother to try to get the fiance visa because of the potential red flags in your relationship. At any rate, stay strong and look forward with a positive mind to plan B. I hope someone with more knowledge can tell you whether you need to write a letter to USCIS to withdraw your I-129 F petition in order for your upcoming I-130 to be processed.

Best wishes!

thank u so much i also wish that i would consulted someone too and not wasted my time and money but i still stand true to my relation ship and going trough everything.. i was able to marry because i have my dominican cedula and all my dominican stuff i have never let it expire and also that we are from the same town and was able to get my birth certificate that my grandparents have and i had my sons org certificate w me also. the judge that married us is a very good friend w my uncles wife that's also a judge in nagua that's why we were able to do it so quick i do thank god and look forward to getting this over with someone told me that i shouldn't file right away and i don't know what to do?????

SANTO DOMINGO EMBASSY

thank you so much i will call on monday because this dr consulate is not working i'm tired of calling and calling i will keep u guys posted... thank you again

I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THAT MY PETITION WAS APPROVED ON THE 19TH ON OCTOBER AND FORWARDED TO THE SANTO DOMINGO CONSULATE STILL I DO NOT KNOW IF IT MADE IT TO THEM AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING FROM ANYONE NEITHER HAS M FIANCE IN DR.. I DO NOT KNOW WHATS GOING ON I CALL EVERY DAY THE EMBASSY AND GET TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER LINE THAT JUST RINGS AND RINGS. HAS ANYONE ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND PLEASE HOW CAN I GET INFO ON WHATS GOING ON PLEASE HELPPP

I wouldn't worry too much. It makes sense that they're told to say that given the standard 5 month wait (same as a 5 month hold). From what I understand, everyone that calls is told something ridiculous because they want to cover themselves. Technically, June filers being processed in November makes sense on paper given the 5 month processing time.

As long as they keep churning out approvals I'm not going to worry. If they stop again, then we can sweat.

i filed july 19 and alraedy got approved

I RECEIVED MY NOA2 AND ALSO THE LETTER FROM NVC STATING THAT THEY SENT IT TO SANTO DOMINGO BUT NOW I NEED TO KNOW WHATS NEXT? AND WHAT IS PACKET 3 I'M VERY CONFUSED PLEASE HELPPPPPPP HOW DO I FIND OUT IF WE HAVE A CITA? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOU HELP

Felicidades. (did i spell it correctly? I hope)
