I recently have become friendly with a girl that I met last year. And
after what she has been through, I decided to post her story and see
if any of you could help out.
She has been in a 2 year relationship with a man from the Dominican
Republic and last September filed for the K-1 Visa. The petition was
approved here in the US and forwarded to the US consulate in the DR.
Packet #3 was rec'd by her fiance and he went and did all of the
necessary things in order to get the interview date. Well, after
calling numerous times, the 800# people were giving both him and her
the run around about him missing some paper and then not missing
anything and then on to him having an open interview, which I found
to be odd, since they assign an interview date and send you the
letter. Well, she decided to fly down and visit the US consulate
just recently and after waiting for 5 hours to be seen, was finally
seen by a consulate officer and he advised that her fiance's case had
been closed because his biological father had been in the US for over
20 years and he should have petitioned for him long ago. They
didn't want to hear a word they had to say and advised that she
needed to wait until she rec'd a letter from them stating the exact
reason for his case being closed before she coudl send out a letter
of appeal here in the US.
So, my question and her's of course, is what does his father's
residence have anything to do with her peitioning him?? HE and his
father have not had a relationship, since the father walked out on
them when he was an infant. She has since sent a 4 page appeal
letter to the Service Center in the US, but is getting very anxious
on what else she should do. She has even thought about going down
there and marrying him to start the K-3 process.
Can someone please advise what add'l information she can do on this
end in the US. This just doesn't seem right.
