| Comments : |
My fiancee attended K-1 visa interview on February 1st, 2012 at the US Embassy in Lagos Nigeria. She went with two bags of documents in support of our r/ship. At the interview she was asked the basic questions like how we met? Where I live in US? What I do for a living? How often do we communicate? and how many times I had visited her? My fiancee answered those questions correctly. The CO asked for photos and my fiancee showed him a photo album showing pictures of my two visits with my fiancee, her parents, her siblings, her friends, her students as she teaches @ a nursing school, her kinsmen as well as photos of our engagement ceremony, picnic to a lake, visit to the zoo etc. The officer looked at the album from the fist page to the last page. The consulate officer also asked for affidavit of support with the accompanying evidence like 2010 tax returns, IRS tax transcript, letter of employment, bank statement and pay stubs. The consular officer never asked for any other document or evidence.
Surprisingly, at the end of the interview, the Consular officer gave my fiancee form 221(g)for administrative processing for no sufficient documentation. The CO officer did not specify the document that is not sufficient so I could provide it. The CO told my fiancee that they want to make some verification on my document.
The following are submitted to USCIS:
Filing fee $340, Form I-129F, Form G325 each for petitioner and beneficiary, copies of US International passport for petitioner, and copies of Nigerian iternational passport for beneficiary, two passport photos for petitioner and two passport photos for beneficiary, beneficiary birth certificate, letter of intent to marry signed by petitioner and beneficiary, letter of circumstance in which I met my fiancee, air tickets, boarding passes and stamped pages of my International passport showing my visit to the beneficiary and her family, call records, text messages record, emails, correspondences, money gram receipts, affidavit of support, tax returns, pay stubs.
Can someone help me figure out what is lacking in the package that was sent to USCIS.
My questions are:
Why did the CO officer fail to specify the document that is not sufficient?
What document do they want to verify? My International passport is issued by the US State department, IRS tax transcript is from IRS, bank statement is from my bank.
I am 21 and my fiancee is 24. Do they think we are too young to fall in love and engaged to marry?
I, my fiancee and both families are totally devastated by this development.
I had sent the Embassy email requesting them to tell me the document that is not sufficient so I could provide it, but they replied stating that I will be informed when the administrative processing is complete.
Has anyone been in this situation before?

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
