Re: Fiance visa denied

Hi There,

The denial letter should tell you how to appeal and normally there will be a 33 day timelimit. From I-290 should be completed with appropriate filing fees. The appeal form is normally sent to the office the denial came from which is then forwarded to the Administrative Appeals Office in Washington DC. Please ask your brother to carefully read the denial letter for instructions.

Having said that, appeals normally take a long time to be adjudicated. You might find that it will be quicker applying afresh for a fiancee visa or your brother can get married in India and apply for a spousal visa.

Hope that helps.

Tahmina
