Maria ShehzadiMar 4, 2021

hope hope Mar 4, 2021
Maria, hello. can I know why they denied your case? I got married also in 2019 and we filed our petition in June 2019 but not response. yet 20 months alredy. I think they take 90 days to reply that, I think because I read one time something about it but I don’t remember well. but can I know the reason why they denied it?
Jeanne DheneroMar 4, 2021
then wait for a reply from them
Maria ShehzadiMar 4, 2021
i filed in November and i got notice for extra evidence after i updated my status from permanent to citizen and i was so happy they took care of my case but 1 little mistake put my case to denied. i was missing 1 document which they ask and my attorney didn't submit that . somehow he missed if.
Faisal S.Mar 4, 2021
what was the missing document ?
P OMar 4, 2021
pls what was the missing document, my husband filed for i130 alone a yr ago as a LPR but soon we have to also make an update to citizen. Thank you.
We used an attorney for the filing.
Maria ShehzadiMar 4, 2021
For me it was my Nikaah Nama called mariage certificate which i submitted but they needed original one with translation. so my attorney didn't send that
Maria ShehzadiMar 4, 2021
i know it sounds very dumb too be honest I'm so mad at him it was a very basic a easy document but idk how he skipped that.
Brady007 Brady007Mar 4, 2021
wow! so you hire/have an attorney and first of all they don’t send the Nikaah Nama/Marriage Ceritficate + the translation if it is not in english and then even after USCIS ask for the evidence, the attorney missed it. Don’t want to rude but they just messed your life/ years. for USCIS, they will need the marriage certificate + other document to prove it’s a bonafide marriage and it’s in good faith and once the evidences were not sent it was denied! Not sure if appeal will help but good luck and change your attorney please! That’s really messed up
Maria ShehzadiMar 4, 2021
yeah i understand all that, I've no other option right now except to wait for the apeal that i sent already 😭
Brady007 Brady007Mar 4, 2021
Good luck and i do feel bad for you but i am really pissed with the lawyer who is taking your money and not doing his job properly!
Faisal S.Mar 4, 2021
yes you need original nikahnama in Urdu, plus translation in English with a certification from translator per USCIS requirements, plus marriage registration certificate from Nadra.
Maria ShehzadiMar 4, 2021
thank you all, just pray for me please .
Riza DunhamMar 17, 2021
we did appeal too last month
Maria ShehzadiMar 17, 2021
what were your issue Riza ?
Riza DunhamMar 18, 2021
They denied us after RFE because of blurry paper
Maria ShehzadiMar 18, 2021
Good luck to both of us
Maria ShehzadiMar 18, 2021
where did you send your apeal ? which location?
Riza DunhamMar 18, 2021
We sent it to Dallas, Texas! how long should we wait for it? we were planning to re apply after 2 months
Maria ShehzadiMar 19, 2021
that's where I've sent mine. there wait time is 6 month i guess, if we don't hear anything back from them we have right to ask them after 6 month and then whatver they tell us to do. i don't think so need to re apply until we get any answer from them
Riza DunhamMar 19, 2021
6 months is too long
Maria ShehzadiMar 19, 2021
i know it is , i can't wait either but have to now
Riza DunhamMar 27, 2021

Riza DunhamApr 11, 2021

Maria ShehzadiApr 23, 2021

Riza DunhamApr 24, 2021
Hello! Maria, not yet. we are planning to call them next month.
Riza DunhamApr 24, 2021
how about you?
Maria ShehzadiApr 24, 2021
No answer , trying to call but it's not transferring my call and not letting me to speak to anyone
Riza DunhamApr 24, 2021
@Maria Shehzadi, how come? They normally answer like 1-2 hours. But the last time was we just waited for 30 minutes. it’s frustrating huh...
Maria ShehzadiMay 5, 2021
hi Riza ,
did u hear anything back from them ? also anyway we can track our case ?
Riza DunhamMay 6, 2021
@Maria Shehzadi no nothing we’ve been waiting it’s been 70days since they receive our case. I think my husband said that we have to wait for another week or so and we gonna call them. what about urs????
Maria ShehzadiMay 6, 2021
Same here , no response from them. and can you tell me what number you call because the one i call the operator doesn't transfer my call to agent
Maria ShehzadiMay 6, 2021
no information online too, when i try to check my case status it just show it's declined and no further detail. so so stressed 😫
Maria ShehzadiMay 6, 2021
it's been 2 years now since i got married and we both living far, couldn't go back because of my job and also covid . i was so confident this year we might be together but trust me i feel like they're not going to do anything . I've so many other plans with my husband and it looks like never gonna happen.
Riza DunhamMay 6, 2021
@Maria Shehzadi you have to call them! just be patient waiting for them to answer your call.
Maria ShehzadiMay 14, 2021
Hi Riza , any update on your case.
hope hope May 14, 2021
Hello Maria She, for you get through the call and get an person and not the authometic voice you say “technical support or info pass or pass appointment” when my husband call he says “technical support” and it works. and now, can you tell me how many time have you seen your husband since the two years of marriage. my husband and I we live far away too, I live in Colombia and he in USA. we had plans to see next year but the Covid fucked up, and this years but it’s complicated too :(. I hope they don’t bother because we have not seen frequently. it’s been hard. my pd I june 2019 it’s in Vermont and not approval yet. thanks for your response
Maria ShehzadiMay 14, 2021
I'll try one more time to call them. i got married almost 2 years now and live with him just for 1 month because of job i had to come back to newyork and he lives in pakistan . i wanted to go back but covid f up as u said.
Maria ShehzadiMay 14, 2021
so, i did call the way you said and finally able to speak to someone but she said she doesn't have any info.
for the appeal I've to go to this website and check processing time for that appeal which I've done it already and it is not helpful at all.
