Legal Question in Immigration Law in Washington

I290-b

Hello, i filed I129-f fiancee petition in January 09.. And met my fiancee in person in february. and sent them proof when i returned.. our petition was denied. I appealed and sent them more proof..i realized i was suppose to meet her before filing but thought we had insinuating circumstances that would void us of any problems..I guess i was wrong... I've recieved the letter of action from the ca. service center.How long does an appeal of this type take and what is usually the commisioners decision on something like this?

Re: I290-b

Dear Inquirer:

You only appeal if you believe that the decision was wrong based on the evidence presented. Since you had not met your fiancee prior to filing, the decision is not incorrect and you would be better off filing a new I-129F now.

I recommend that you email [email protected] or visit www.hanlonlawgroup.com if you would like further information.

The appeal can take a long time, and it's not likely to be in your favor. The best solution could be to refile a new Fiancee visa petition with a new filing fee, evidence of meeting your fiancee in person in 02-2009, etc.

If you would need assistance in these matters, please let me know.

I am unclear as to what you mean by "insinuating circumstances." There are no exceptions to the requirement that you must have met your fiance in person prior to filing the petition. As such, your appeal will probably not be granted. If you would like assistance in petitioning your fiance please contact our firm.
