i-751 denied

I reached out to congresman for help with my I-751 last week and today I received an email that my case was denied. What are my options now? it was I-751 abuse wavier and I did not had any police report, or social worker affidavits. I had affidavits from friends and families. I had earlier got the notice that my case was transferred so that the interview can be scheduled. Please advise

Lawyer

I need help. my case was denied 8/26/2024. I got the mail explaining the reason why it was denied. it was because of joint sponsorship. I contacted a lawyer and we did everything and I paid his fees he promised to mail the document yesterday but he when I called him he said he is still working on it that we have time. my problem is the mail said we need to reopen by 18days for him to maintain his work permit. will they deactivate his work permit if they don't receive the mail by the due date?

denied case

My marriage case was denied because I couldn't attend the interview due to illness, despite having a doctor's letter. I notified Immigration a day before and received a Request number. However, I saw online that my case was denied today. A lawyer offered to send a reschedule letter for $3000, but there's no guarantee. Any advice?
